  • L2 comprehensible input and teacher talk
  • classroom discourse
  • Oller's Episode Hypothesis

brain-based research

brain-based research

  • learning engages the entire person
  • the human brain seeks patterns
  • emotions affect all aspects of learning
  • past experience always affects new learning
  • the brain's working memory has a limited capacity
  • lecture usually results in the lowest degree of retention
  • rehearsal is essential for retention

  • each brain is unique

Bloom's taxonomy

bloom's taxonomy of thinking

Target language input

TL input

  • ACTFL recommends 90% of instruction in TL
  • IRE (initiate, respond, evaluate)
  • IRF vs IRE
  • assessment vs assistance

authenticity

authentic texts

  • Oller's Episode Hypothesis: "Text (discourse in any form) will be easier to reproduce, understand, and recall, to the extent that it is motivated and structured episodically"
  • authentic texts : "those written and oral communications produced by members of a language and culture group for members of the same language and culture group"
  • unauthentic vs. semiscripted

lesson planning

planning

  • Content-based instruction (CBI) uses the content, learning objectives, and activities from the school curriculum as the vehicle for teaching language skills
  • "Backward-planning" : the desired end result drives the creation of unit and lesson plans and assessments
  • thematic planning : selecting content that not only addresses standards and curricular goals but that is also meaningful, engaging, and motivates learners
  • communicatively purposeful
  • culturally focused
  • intrinsically interesting
  • cognitively engaging
  • standards-based
  • four stages of lesson planning
  • stage 1 : identify desired results
  • stage 2 : determine acceptable evidence
  • stage 3 : plan learning experiences
  • stage 4 : reflect on lesson effectiveness

chapter 9

The presentational mode

"To successfully communicate with an audience, speakers and writers need to know how to present information based on the cultural perspectives, backgrounds, and expectations of their listeners, readers, or viewers"

presentational mode

Product vs. Process?

Process vs. product

Writers are constantly orchestrating a set of cognitive processes as they integrate planning, remembering, writing, and rereading.

writing: process or product?

  • provide plenty of practice in and outside of class, and follow this practice with discussion of the process
  • Teach about the FL writing process -- help generate ideas
  • Teach students to self-monitor and self-reflect
  • Design writing tasks to reflect authentic genres, which are determined by the purpose for the writing
  • Provide focused practice on syntax
  • Distinguish between writing for communication and writing as an academic exercise
  • Combine reading and writing to create presentational products
  • Design writing tasks carefully
  • Redefine "creative" writing
  • Integrate a writing conference into your instructional approach

Types of feedback for written work

When is feedback not necessary?

CF Focus on Form: learners benefit from CF that is selective and focused (e.g., two or three error categories rather than only one type of error or all errors), particularly for students with lower language proficiency

feedback

praise/criticism/suggestion?

student responses to feedback?

writing conferences?

Peer Revision?

pronunciation: Feedback and Instruction

Presentational speaking

  • accents?
  • comprehensibility
  • pronunciation awareness should always be taught in the service of meaning and in meaningful contexts
  • feedback from peers is usually meaningful to students, and it engages the rest of the class in listening and learning content from presentations
