英语教学法重点Unit 1 Language and Learning?1.1 How do we learn languageWe learn language at different agesPeople have different experiencesPeople learn languages for different reasonsPeople learn languages in different waysPeople have different capabilities in language learning Learning can be affected by the way how language is taught Learning is affected by the degree of success one is expect to achieve.Thus the challenge confronting language teaching is how teachingmethodology can ensure successful learning by all the learners who havemore differences than the commonality.1. 2 What are the major views of language?1) Structural view:Language is a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: phonology, morphology, lexicology and syntacx. To learn a language isto learn its vocabulary and structural rules.英语教学法重点2) Functional view:Language is a linguistic system as well as a means for doing things.Learners learn a language in order to be able to do things with it (useit). To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine thegrammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that performthe functions.3) Interactional view:Language is a communicative tool to build up and maintain social relations between people. Learners need to know the rules of a languageand where, when and how it is appropriate to use them.1.3Views on Language LearningTwo broad learning theories:Process-oriented theories are concerned with how the mind organizesnew information.Condition-oriented theories emphasize the nature of human and physical context.Behaviorist theoryB. F. Skinner?英语教学法重点A stimulus-response theory of psychology?Audio-lingual method?The idea of this method is that language is learned by constant ?repetition and the reinforcement of the teacher. Mistakes wereimmediately corrected, and correct utterances were immediately praised.Cognitive theory B.Influenced by Noam Chomsky (revival of structural linguistics)?Language as an intricate rule-based system?produce to him A learner acquires language competence which enables ?language.One influential idea of cognitive approach to language teaching ?is that students should be allowed to create their own sentence basedon their own understanding of certain rules.Constructivist theory C.Jean Piaget (1896—1980)?The learner constructs meaning based on his/her own experiences ?and what is already known.Socio-constructivist theory D.英语教学法重点Vygotsky?“Zone of Proximal Development” (ZPD); scaffolding (脚手架)?Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between ?the teacher and the learner and between learners.1.4 What are the qualities of a good language teacher?A good language teacher does not solely depend on his/her commandof the language. There are a variety of element that contributes to thequalities of a good language teacher. These element can be categorizedinto three groups:ethic devotion, professional quality and personalstyles.1.5 How can one become a good language teacher?Wallace's (1991) ‘reflective model' (Figure 1.1, p.9)?英语教学法重点Stage 1: language developmentStage 2: learning, practice, reflectionThe learning stage is the purposeful preparation that a language?normally receives before the practice,This preparation can include:1. Learning from others' experience2. Learning the received knowledge3. Learning from one's own experiencesThe practice stage (2 senses)?Pseudo practice: short period of time assigned to do teaching practice as part of one's pre-service education, usually under the supervision of instructorsThe real classroom teaching: what a teacher undertakes after he/she finishes formal educationTeachers benefit from practice if they keep on reflecting on ?what they have been doingGoal: professional competenceUnit 2 Communicative Principles and Task-based language teaching英语教学法重点2.1 How is language learned in classrooms different from languageused in real life?Language used in real lifeLanguage taught in the classroomTo focus on forms (structures or To perform certaincommuntcative patterns)functionsUse all skills, both receptive To focus on one or two languageskills skills and ignore others. and productive skillsUsed in a certain context To isolate language from itscontext2.2 What is communicative competence?To bridge the gap between classroom language teaching and real-lifelanguage use, one solution is to adopt CLT, the goal of which is todevelop students' communicative competence.Definition:Communicative competence include both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriatelyin communicative situationsFive components of communicative competence (Hedge 2000) Linguistic competence (语言能力)?The knowledge of language itself, its form and meaning.Pragmatic competence (语用能力)?英语教学法重点The appropriate use of language in social context.Discourse competence (语篇能力)?One's ability to create coherent written text or conversation and the ability to understand themStrategic competence (策略能力)?Strategies one employs when there is communication breakdown due to lack of resources.Fluency(流利性)?One ‘s ability to ‘link units of speech together withfacility and without strain or inappropriate slowness or undue (过分的,不适当的) hesitation'2.3Implications for teaching and learningTeaching must enable learners to grasp the five components of communicative competence, but not just the linguistic competence.2.4 Principles of CLTThree principles suggest by Richard and Rodgers:1 Communication principle:involve real communication2 Task principle:Carry out meaningful tasks英语教学法重点3 Meaningfulness principle:Meaningful language to the learner Howatt proposes a weak and a strong version of CLT:Weak versionLearners first acquire language as a structural system and then learn how to use it in communication.Strong version“language is acquired through communication” (Howatt, 1984:279)2.5 Major Activity Types of CLTA sequence of activities represented in Littlewood (1981: 86) Pre-communicative activitiesStructural activities?Quasi-communicative activities类似,准,半?Communicative activities(PP22-23)Functional communication activities?Social interaction activities?2.6 Six Criteria for evaluating communicative classroom activities(main features of communicative activities?)英语教学法重点Communicative purpose?Communicative desire?Content, not form?Variety of language?No teacher intervention?No materials control?2.7 What is Task-based Language Teaching?TBLT is a further development of CLT. It shares the same belief inthe use of language in real life, but stresses the importance to combineform-focused teaching with communication-focused teaching. Four components of a taskA purpose 1.A context 2.A process3.A product4.Exercises, exercise-tasks and tasks英语教学法重点kind This and between tasks exercises.

The third problem is that whether such an approach is suitablefor all age level of learners or all competence level of learners.Constraints of TBLT?The first is it may not be effective for presenting new language items?The second constraint is Time as teachers have to prepare task-based?activities very carefully.The third is the culture of learning?The forth is Level of difficulty?Unit 33.1 A brief history of foreign language teaching inA phase of restoration (1978-1985)?A phase of rapid development (1986-1992)?A phase of reform (1993-2000)?A phase of innovation from 2000?英语教学法重点3.2 Designing principles for the National English Curriculum 1) Aim for educating all students, and emphasizequality-oriented education.2) Promote learner-centeredness, and respect individual differences.3) Develop competence-based objectives, and allow flexibility andadaptability.4) Pay close attention to the learning process, and advocate experiential learning and participation.5) Attach particular importance to formative assessment, and give special attention to the development of competence.6) Optimize learning resources, and maximize opportunities for learning and using the language.3.3 Goals and objectives of English language teachingThe new curriculum is designed to promote students' overalllanguage ability, which is composed of five interrelated components,namely, language skills, language knowledge, affects, learning strategies and cultural understanding. Each component is furtherdivided into a few sub-categories. Language teaching is no longer aimedonly for developing language skills and knowledge, but expanded to英语教学法重点developing learners' positive attitude, motivation, confidence aswell as strategies for life-long learning along withcross-culturalknowledge, awareness and capabilities.The overall language ability required in the 2001 National EnglishCurriculum includes the following aspects language knowledge, languageskills, learning strategies, affects and cultural understanding.3.4 Design of the National English Curriculum3.5 The standards for different levels of competence英语教学法重点3.6 Challenges facing English language teachersEnglish language teachers are expected to change their views 1)means a linguistic knowledge but system about language which is not a offor communication.English language teachers are expected to change their 2) traditional role of a knowledge transmitter to a multi-role educator.task-based use more teachers language are expected to 3) Englishactivities and put the students at the center of learning.English language teachers are expected to use more formative 4)assessment in addition to using tests.English language teachers are expected to use modern 5)learning for effective teaching, creating more resources in technologyand for using the language.备课Unit 4. Lesson Planning英语教学法重点4.1 why is Lesson Planning ImportantA lesson plan is a framework of a lesson in which teachers make advance decisions about what they hope to achieve and how they wouldlike to achieve it.Proper lesson plan is essential for both novice and experienced teachers. Language teachers benefit from lesson planning in a numberof ways.Makes teachers aware of the aims and language contents of the 1.lesson, so as to plan the activities and choose the techniquesaccordingly;Helps teachers distinguish the various stages of a lesson and 2.see the relationship between them so that the activities of different difficulty levels can be arranged properly and the lesson can move smoothly from one stage to another;Gives teachers the opportunity to anticipate potential problems3.so that they can be prepared;Gives teachers, esp. novice ones, confidence in class; 4. Raises teachers' awareness of the teaching aids needed; 5. Planning is a good practice and a sign of professionalism. 6.英语教学法重点Teachers benefit from proper lesson plans in a number of other ways:To enable the teacher to improve class timing;?Lesson plans are also an aid to continuingdevelopment?(plan-practice -reflection)4.2 Principles for Good Lesson PlanningAim: the realistic goals for the lesson; what students are able 1.to do by the end of the lesson;Variety: different types of activities; a wide selection of 2.materials;Flexibility: preparing some extra and alternative tasks and 3.activitiesLearnability: the contents and tasks planned should be within 4.the learning capability of the studentsDoing things that are beyond or below the students' coping ability will diminish their motivation (Schumann, 1999)Linkage: the stages and the steps within each stage are linked 5.with one another.4.3 what are macro planning and micro planning?英语教学法重点Macro planningPlanning over a long period of time which is often done by a groupof teachers, it provides a general guidance for language teachersMicro planningPlanning for a specific unit or a lesson, which usually lasts fromone to two weeks or forty to fifty minutes respectively. Micro planningis often an individual activity and different teachers may have different ways of writing their own lesson plans.Macro planning involves the following:?Knowing about the professionKnowing about the institutionKnowing about the learnersKnowing about the curriculum/syllabusKnowing about the textbookKnowing about the objectivesA lesson plan usually has the following components: Background information?英语教学法重点Teaching aims?Teaching content and skills?Stages and procedures?Teaching aids?End of lesson summary?Optional activities and Assignment?After lesson reflection?Unit 5 Classroom Management5.1 What is classroom management?Classroom management is the way teachers organize what goes on in the classroom. (68)the goal of classroom management is to create an atmosphere conducive to (有助于)interacting in English in meaningful ways (Gebhard,1996).Efficient classroom management can be achieved when the followingsix conditions are met.The teacher plays appropriate roles. 1.The teacher provides clearer instructions. 2.Students are grouped in a way suitable for the learning activities. 3.There is discipline as well as harmony in the class. 4.The teacher asks appropriate questions. 5.The students' errors are treated properly 6.5.2 What roles does the teacher play?Controller (what to learn; how to learn) 1.Assessor (correcting mistakes; organizing feedback) 2.Organiser (students' activities)3.Prompter (when ss don't know what to do (4)Participant (in ss' activities)5.Resource-provider6.Teachers' roles are not static. They change with the developmentof the society.New roles:?Teacher as facilitator?Create a positive learning environment, use various strategies to?motivate learners, guide students in planning and assessing theirlearning and develop their learning strategies…Teacher as guide?Activate students' prior knowledge; find individual interests and?explore potential capabilities; acknowledge and respect individualdifferences; give each equal opportunity in learning; evaluate students' development fairly from an all-round perspective…Teacher as researcher?Observe a problem, reflect on the reasons, think about possible?solutions, implement the solutions and evaluate the results…Q: How much control is needed?Appropriate degree of control?Different activities need a different degrees of control.? The more communicative an activity, the less control it needs.?Q: What does the teacher do as an assessor? Correcting mistakes 1.The correcting should be gentle, not harsh.?Organizing feedback 2.The feedback should be focused on students' success or progress so?that a success-oriented learning atmosphere can be created.英语教学法重点Q: How to organise?Before the activity: what the activity is going to be like, ?anticipated problems; clear instructions given to students (withT's demonstration)During the activity: overhear what the students are saying, rectify?wrong practices; take notes for later feedbackQ: When to prompt?When students are not sure how to start an activity, or what to do?next, or what to say next…When a student doesn't seem to be ready for an answer,…?When a student finishes with a very short answer,…?Q: why to participate in student's activities?Monitoring + participating changes the role from an authority to?a conversationalist, a good chance for students to practise Englishwith a superior…Q: What do you think of the jug-and-mug metaphor?Although the jug-and-mug method has been widely criticised, the teacher is still considered a good and convenient resource forthestudents.”英语教学法重点5.3 How to give effective classroom instructions?Classroom instructions refer to the type of language teachers useto organize or guide learning.To use simple instructions and make them suit the comprehension level1.of the students;To use the mother-tongue only when it is necessary; 2.Give students time to get used to listening to English instructions; 3.Use body language to assist understanding; 4.Model thetask/activity before letting students into groups or5.pairs…Teachers are not expected to do all the talking in class. 6.Tip: Demonstration is usually more effective than words.5.4 What are the different ways for student grouping?Whole class work, pair work, group work, individual study? Whole class work 1.All the students are under the control of the teacher, doing the same?activity at the same rhythm and pace.Pair work 2.英语教学法重点Students work in pairs on an exercise or task.?Group work 3.Students work in small groups of 3-5 students.?Individual study 4.Students work on their own at their own speed.?Q: How to group? (Grouping methods)Whole class work is normally used when presenting and explaining newnguage or new information and it should be used wisely by theteachers.Successful group/pair work depends on skillful organization.2.The biggest problem for group work is the selection of group members.3.While teachers are encourage to use pair wok and group work to provide4.more practice chance, individual study should not be forgotten.Types of student grouping and their advantages and disadvantagesin P314 (task4)5.5 Discipline in the language classroomQ: What does discipline mean?英语教学法重点Discipline refers to a code of conduct which binds a teacher anda group of students together so that learning can be more effective.(78)Q: Does discipline guarantee effective learning?No. There might be little learning even the class is very?disciplined.Although discipline is necessary, it is not a sufficient condition?for effective learning as a thoroughly indisciplined atmosphere willsurely yield no learning at all. (79)Q: How to maintain discipline?P.79Although discipline is often discussed together with classroom management, Classroom management skills are not sufficient if discipline is to be achieved,rather,a variety of teacher's behaviorcontribute to discipline, such as the teacher's choice of methodology, their interpersonal relationships with students,preparation for the lesson. Beside, student's motivation, which canbe enhanced by the teacher action, is extremely important for discipline.When students are engaged in learning, they will be disciplined.(79)英语教学法重点Ss are clear about learning purpose;?Ss are able to do the work but find it challenging;?Ss are emotionally, physically and intellectually involved by the?tasks;The presentation, variety and structure of the work and activities?generate curiosity and interest;Ss have opportunities to ask questions and try out ideas;? Ss can see what they have achieved and how they had made progress;?Ss get a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment from the work.?Q: What causes discipline problems?A gap in the lesson (e.g. bad planning, equipment fails toUnclear instructions?Lack of teacher attention?The teacher concentrates on lengthy explanations to one individual?so that the others get boredWork is too easy or too challenging?Q: What measures can we take for undisciplined acts and badly behaving students?英语教学法重点Harmer (1983) p.81?Act immediately. 1.Stop the class.2.Rearrange the seats.3.Change the activity.4.Talk to students after class.5.Create a code of behavior. 6.'s (1996) advice?Deal with it quietly. 1.Don't take things personally. 2.Don't use threats. 3.5.6 How to make questioning more effective?Questions should be closely linked to the learning objectives in?the lesson;Questions should be staged so that the level of challenge increases?as the lesson proceeds;There should be a balance between closed and open, lower-order and?higher-order questions;英语教学法重点Wait time is important to allow students to think through their ?answers;Ss should be provided opportunities to ask their own questions and?seek their own answers;A secure and relaxed atmosphere of trust is needed and ss' opinions?and ideas are valued.What types of questions are there?( Classification of questions)Closed and open questions; 1.Display and genuine questions;2.Lower-order and high-order questions;3.Bloom's taxonomy 分类系统(Nuttall, 1982)4.Knowledge①Comprehension②Application③Analysis④Synthesis⑤Evaluation⑥5.7 Dealing with errors英语教学法重点Q: What are errors? How are they different from mistakes?A mistake refers to “a performance error that is either a random ?guess or a ‘slip of tongue', and it is a failure performance to aknown system” (Brown, 2000: 218-219)An error has direct relation with the learner's language?competence. Errors do not result from carelessness nor hesitation,but lack of knowledge in the target language.A mistake can be self-corrected; an error cannot be.?Q: How to deal with errors?In dealing with errors and mistakes we need to be clear whether ?the task or activity is focusing on accuracy or fluency. Q: When to correct errors?Generally, it is best not to interrupt students during fluency work?unless communication breaks down.Let a trivial mistake pass if most of the language is right.? For some common mistakes, take a note in mind first and correct ?after the student's performance.Q: How to correct errors?Different ways and techniques:?英语教学法重点Direct teacher correction?Indirect teacher correction?Self-correction?Peer correction?Whole class correction?Q: Which techniques to use?As a general rule, indirect teacher correction is encouraged ?rather than direct ones to avoid damaging ss' self-esteem and confidence.In practice, self-correction is encouraged before teacher?correction or peer correction, esp. for mistakes.The whole class correction is used for main error types (e.g.The ?Big Ten)Summary1.Roles of the teacher: controller, assessor, organiser, prompter,participant, resource-provider, facilitator, guide, researcher,etc.英语教学法重点2.Classroom instructions: simple; suit the level of students3.Grouping: whole class work, group work, pair work, individual study4.Discipline: to engage ss in learning; how to maintain discipline,how to treat with undisciplined acts5.Questioning: different classifications; questioning techniques6.Error correction: error and mistake; different ways and techniquesfor correcting errorsUnit 6 Teaching PronunciationCritical Period Hypothesis: a biologically determined period oflife when language can be acquired more easily and beyond which timelanguage is increasing difficult to acquire.6.1 The role of pronunciationDebate?Side A: students do not need to learn pronunciation becausepronunciation will take care of itself as the students develop overalllanguage ability.Side B: Failure in pronunciation is a great hindrance to languagelearning.Views of teaching pronunciation vary英语教学法重点The Learners who have more exposure to English need less focus on?pronunciation than those who only learn English in the class. Adult learners need more focus on pronunciation because they are more?likely to substitute English sounds with sounds from their nativelanguage.The teaching of pronunciation should focus on the ss' ability to?identify and produce English sounds themselves. (pronunciation vs.phonetics)Ss should not be led to focus on reading and writing phonetic ?transcripts of words, esp. for young students.Phonetic rules are helpful for ss to develop ability to cope with?English pronunciation and they should be introduced at a suitable stage.Stress and intonation are important and should be taught from the very?beginning.6.2 The goal of teaching pronunciationThe goal of teaching pronunciation is not to teach learners to achieve a perfect imitation of a native accent, but simply to get thelearners to pronounce accurately enough to be easily and comfortablycomprehensible to other speakers.The realistic goals of teaching pronunciation is as following:英语教学法重点Consistency: the pronunciation should be smooth and natural;? Intelligibility: the pronunciation should be understandable to the?listeners;Communicative efficiency: the pronunciation should help convey the?meaning that is intended by the speaker.6.3 What aspects of pronunciation do we need to teach? Pronunciation is an umbrella term covering many aspects, beside sound and phone symbols, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm,ofcourse ,these aspects are not isolated from each other, rather, theyare interrelated.Q: How to achieve good pronunciation?Practice makes perfect?Both mechanical practice and meaningful practice are?beneficial.6.4 Practising sounds(List some methods of practicing sounds. ) Mechanical drilling is boring and demotivating; it is important to combine drilling pronunciation exercises with moremeaningful exercises that focus on whatever aspect of pronunciation is the focus of the lesson.英语教学法重点Focus on a soundFocus on a individual sounds especially those sound that are difficult to learnPerception practiceWhat is the goal of perception practice??Developing the students' ability to identify and distinguish?between different sounds.Examples of perception practice:?Using minimal pairs (with one sound difference): will/well; ?ship/sheep; light/nightWhich order: bear, tear, ear?Same or different? [met], [mi:t]?Odd one out?Completion?Production practiceThe goal of production practice is developing students' ability to produce sounds.英语教学法重点Listen and repeat ( practice individual sounds, individual words,1.groups of words, sentences (mechanical imitation)Fill in the blanks (in sentences with words which contain certain2.sounds).Make up sentences (using as many from the given words as3.possible).Use meaningful context (to perform meaningful tasks such as 4.role-play).Use pictures (to produce meaningful language). e tongue twisters (to practice pronunciation). 6.6.5 Practising stress and intonation。

Eg: to give directions,to exchange information or to make a complaint. In traditional language classroom,the teaching focus is often on forms rather than functions.(2)For various reasons,traditional pedagogy tends to focus on two language skills and ignore the others. Eg:the grammar-translation methos emphasized on reading and writing skills and virtuallyignored listening speaking skills.(3)In reality language is always used in a certain context,but traditional pedagogy tends to isolated language from its context. Eg:when the English passive voice is introduced,the teacher always focuses on the explanation of how the objects in an active sentence is moved to the front of a passive sentence.

Teaching grammarGrammar teaching depends on certain variables(learner and ins t ructional ) in the language teaching/learning contextGrammar presentation methods-deductive method: relies on reasoning, analyzing and comparingteaching procedure:teacher’s example on the board,teacher’s explanation of the rules (in student’s native language),student’s practice application of the rules.Advantages:good for selected and motivate students;save time to explain complex rules;increase students’ confidence in examina tion.Disadvantages:grammar is taught isolated ly;little attention is paid to meaning;the practice is often mechanical-inductive method:teaching procedure;authentic language presentation(give grammar examples);letstudents observe,analyse,compare examples;h elp students induct grammar rules,Advantages:inspire students’ thinking activities;motivate students’ learning interests;grammar is taught in context.Disadvantages:the presentation of grammar is more complex and time consumption;grammar is not taught directly;some rules can not be induced easily-guided discovery method: Similar to the inductive method:the students are induced to discoverrules by themselves (similar);the process of the discovery is carefully guided and assisted by the teacher and the rules are then elicited and taught explicitly.(different)Implicit and explicit knowledge:Implicit knowledge refers to knowledge that unconsciously exists in our mind, which we can make use of automatically without making any effort;Explicit knowledge refers to our conscious knowledge about the language. We can talk about it, analyse it and apply it in conscious ways.Learning and acquiring (second language acquisition theory)The synthesis approaches to grammatical pedagogy:Collocational: grammar should be built on collocational relations between individual lexical items and their subcategories.Constructive: one’s knowledge of grammar is built bit by bit, which closely model the way language is learned and used.Contextual: Elements and structures are taught in relation to their context. Syntactic and lexical choices are explicitly related to pragmatic ones, and to social and cultural contexts.Contrastive: grammar involves drawing the learner’s attention to contrast the differences between the target language and other language.Grammar practice:Pre-learning;Volume and repetition:Success-orientation.Heterogeneity .Teacher assistance.Interest1.Mechanical practice:activities that are aimed at form accuracy.By doing mechanicalpractice,students pay repeated attention to a key element in a structure.form of practice:Substitution and transformation drills2. Meaningful practice the focus is on the production, comprehension or exchange of meaning though the students “keep an eye on” the way newly learned structures ar e used in the process.ing prompts for practice:The prompts can be pictures, mimes, tables, charts or key words, etc.A good presentation should include both oral and written and form and meaning Visual materials can aid comprehensionIt’s the teacher’s involvement and his or her ability to personalise teaching and make activities engaging that often promotes successful learning.Teaching vocabularyThe first question need to know is what does knowing a word involve.A word:knowing its pronunciation and stress; spelling and grammatical properties; meaning; how and when to use it to express the intended meaning (freestanding and bound morphine)Vocabulary learning involves ate least two aspects of meaning: the understanding of its denotative and connotative meaning; and understanding the sense relations among wordsDenotative meaning of a word or a lexical item refers to those words that we use to label things as regards real objectsConnotative meaning of a word refers to ‘the attitudes or emotions of a language user in choosing a word and the influence of these on the listener or reader’s interpretation of the word. This words that mayexpress a positive or negative attitude or subtle feelings toward something.Collocations refers to words that co-occur with high frequency and have been accepted as ways for the use of words. It is believed that teaching word collocations is a more effective way than just teaching one single word at a time.Synonyms refer to items that mean the same, or nearly the same.Antonyms refer to items that mean the opposite of a word.Hyponyms refer to words which can be grouped together under the same superordinate conceptReceptive and Productive vocabulary Passive vocabulary: the words they know.Active vocabulary: the wordsthey useSo the job for the teacher is to guide the students to those words which will help them to add to their active vocabularies, and to distinguish those words from the much larger number of passive items. At the beginning of language learning, all the words which are taught must be acquired for active use, later, at intermediate andadvanced levels, most of the words students meet will only be needed for passive use. Ways of consolidating vocabulary:labelling,spot the difference,descibe and draw,play a game,use word series,word bingo,word association,find a synonyms and antonym,categories,using word net-work,using theInternet resources for some ideasDeveloping vocabulary building strategies:review regularly,guess meaning from context, Organize vocabularyeffectively,using a dictionary,manage strategy useTeaching listening Listening problems:lack of teaching materials,both with print materials and audio or video tapes,lack of equipment in some schools;lack of real-life situations:lack of professional qualified instructorsA number of people have frequently made the point that of the total time an individual is engaged incommunication: approximately 9% is devoted to writing, 16% to reading, 30% to speaking,45% to listening Listening and reading are receptive skills, but listening can be more difficult than reading.Different speakers produce the same sounds in different waysThe listener has little or no control over the speed of the input of spoken material; Spoken material is often heard only once and in most cases,we cannot go back and listen again as we can whenwe read;The listener cannot pause to work out the meaning of the heard material as can be done when reading; Speech is more likely to be distorted by the media which transmit sounds or background noise that can make itdifficult to hear clearly; The listener sometimes has to deal simultaneously with another task while listening, such as formal note-taking, writing down directions or messages from telephone calls, or operating while listening to instructions. Characteristics of the listening process,formal or informal?rehearsed ornon-rehearsed?can the listener interact with the speaker or not?Listening characteristics:Spontaneity,Context,visual clues,listener’sresponse,speaker’s adjustmentListening purpose:for social reasons,to obtain and exchange informationPrinciples and models of teaching listeningFocus on process:(they have to hear what is being said,they have to pay attention and construct ameaningful message in their mind by relati ng what they hear to what they already know;it’s also possible to hear people talking without paying attention;we also know that if we don’t have enough previous knowledge of whatis being said,it’s more difficult to make sense of what is said) Combine listening with other skills;Focus on the comprehension ofmeaning;Grade difficulty level appropriately Designing listening activity:give a clear purpose, a specific task,an appropriate context for doing them Bottom-up model:Listening comprehension is believed to start with sound and meaning recognitions.Inother words,‘we use information in the speech itself to try to comprehend the meaning’Listeners constructmeaning of what they hear based on the sound they hear. Top-down model:listening for gist and making use of the contextual clues and background knowledge toconstruct meaning are emphasised.In other words,listening comprehension involves ‘knowledge that a listener brings to a text,sometimes called ‘inside the head’ information,as opposed to the informatio n that is available within the text itself’ In such a case,listeners can understand better if they know something about the speaker,the setting,the topic and the purpose of the talk.prior knowledge or schematic knowledge—mental frameworks forvarious things and experience we hold in our long-term memory Pre-listening activities:aim to motivate students,to activate their prior knowledge,and to teach keywords or key sentences to the students before listening begins predicting,setting thescene,listening for the gist and specific informationWhile-listening:no specific responses,listen and tick,listen and sequence,listen and act,listen and draw,listenand fill,listen and take notes Post-listening:multiple-choice questions,answering questions,note-taking andgap-filling ,dictogloss(preparation dictation reconstruction analysis and correction) Integrate listening with the practice of other language skills,role play,debate,discussion,writing backTeaching speakingSpeech characteristic:spontaneous,full of false starts repetitions incomplete sentences short phrasestime-constraint spoken languages features:Using less complex syntax;Taking short cuts,(incomplete sentences);Using fixed conventional phrases/ chunks. Using devices such as fillers, hesitation device to give time to think beforespeaking.Both learners and teachers need to learn to accept repetitions,rephrase,hesitations,incomplete sentences,fillers or pauses.this doesn’t mean we don’t encourage fluent speaking.In training students’speaking skills,feat ures of natural speech should be accepted.this doesn’t only have implication for teaching speaking but also for assessing speaking.Encourage students to speak up is the first and most important task Principles:Balancing accuracy-based with fluency-based practices, Contextualising practice, Personalising practice, Building up confidence, Maximising meaningful interactions, Helping students develop speakingstrategies Designing speaking tasks:meaningful motivation linguistically appropriate cognitively challenge Maximum foreign talk even participation high motivation rightlanguage levelPre-communicative activities :structural,quasi-communicative Communicative activities :Functionalcommunicative and Social interaction Role-play :perform in different moods,change different role relationship,actual word can be varied,make thedialogue longer Learners should be helped move from form to using what is learned inmeaningful communication The problem is not having nothing to say but lacking the opportunity tosay itTeaching readingReading aloud and silent reading:Reading aloud cannot replace silent reading as it involvesonly the skills of pronunciation and intonation.Real reading ability re-quires the reading skills of skimming, scanning,predicting Effective reading:clear purpose in reading; read silently; read phrase by phrase,rather than word by word; concentrate on the important bits,skim the rest,and skip the insignificant parts; use different speeds and strategies for different reading tasks; perceive the information in the target language rather than mentally translate; guess the meaning of new words from the context,or ignore them; use background information to helpunderstand the text.Reading comprehension means extracting the relevant information from the text as efficiently as possible,connecting the information from written message with one’s own knowledge to arrive at anunderstanding (construction of meaning from printed or written message)Two broad levels in reading:1) a recognition task of perceiving visualsignals from the printed page through the eyes;2) a cognitive task of interpreting the visual information,relating thereceive information with reader’s own knowledgeVocabulary role:efficient reading begins with a lightening-like automatic recognition of word.this initial process of accurate,rapid and automatic recognition of vocabulary frees one’s mind to use other resources(reasoningabilities,,knowledge about topic)to construct meaning Sight vocabulary:you can recognise with both sounds and meanings without special effort from your brain Fluent reading depends on an adequate sight vocabulary,a generalknowledge about the target language, some knowledge about the topic, wide knowledge about the world and enough knowledge abouttext types. Teaching model:bottom-up model top-down model interactive model Pre-reading:pooling existing knowledge about the topic;predicting the contents of the text,skimming and scanning the text or parts of the text forcertain purpose;learning key words and structures(predicting setting the sceneskimming scanning) While reading: Information presented in plain text form is not facilitative for information retention The way to transfer information from one form to another is called atransition deviceReading comprehension questions Questions for literal comprehension.directly and explicitly available in the ually answeredin the words of the text itself. Questions involving reorganization or reinterpretation.obtain literal information fromvarious parts and put it to-gether or reinterpret Questions for inferences. This type of questions require students to consider what is implied but notexplicitly stated. Questions for evaluation or appreciation.most sophisticated ques-tions which involve making a judgment about the text in terms of what the writer is trying to convey.Questions for personal response. The answers to these questions depend most on the reader’sreaction to the content of the text.Post-reading:discussion questions,reproducing the text,role play,gap-filling,discussion,retelling,writingThe teaching of reading should focus on developing students’reading skills and strategies and on maintaining students’motivation for readingTeaching writingWriting purpose:get things done and to form;maintain social relationships;give a voice for shy students;less threatening for anxious students as it gives them to think about their meaning and purpose;raise awareness of how language worksA communicative approach to writing:Writing for learning” and “writing forcommunication”Sense of authenticity and audience motivation for writing purpose for writing proper procedures for writingProblems in writing tasks:They are mainly accuracy-based.They are designed to practise a certaintarget structures.There is insufficient preparation before the writing stage.There is no sense of audience and authenticity.Students are given ideas to express rather than being invited to invent their own.There is no opportunity for creative writing, particular for expressing unusual or original ideas.Many of them are test-oriented.The important point is that they are given the freedom to write about themselves rather than to write what they are told to write and therefore what they write should be more meaningful and communicativeA process approach to writing: creating a motivation to write, brainstorming, mapping, freewriting, outlining, drafting, editing, revising, proofreading and conferencing.Motivating students to write.1.make the topic of writing as close as possib le to students’ life.leave students enough room for creativity and imagination. prepare students well before writing. encourage collaborative group writing as well as individual writing. provide opportunities for students to share their writings. provide constructive and positive feedback.treat students’ errors strategically. give students a sense of achievement from time to time.We have emphasized that the teaching of writing should focus on the process rather than the product, and that all the writing tasks should have communicative purposesSummative assessment is mainly based on testing,it’s done mostly at the end of a learning period or a school yearFormative assessment is based on information collected in the classroom during the teaching process for the purpose of improving teaching and learningTeacher’s observations continuous assessment student’s self-assessment project work portfolios。

1.Views on language: a. Structural view(结构主义) b. Functional view(交际法) c. Interactional view(交往法)1) The structural view结构主义观点:language as a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: from phonological, morphological, lexical, etc. to sentences. Each language has a finite number of such structural items.To learn a language means to learn these structural items so as to be able to understand and produce language.2)The functional view交际法的观点language as a linguistic system but also as a means for doing things. Most of our day-to-day language use involves functional activities: offering, suggesting, advising, apologizing, etc.3)The interactional view交往法的观点Language is a communicative tool, whose main use is to build up and maintain social relations between people. Learners not only need to know the grammar and vocabulary of the language but as importantly they need to know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative contexts.The interactional view says that to know how to do what one wants to do involves also knowing whether it is appropriate to do so, and where, when and how it is appropriate to do it. In order to know this, the learner has to study the patterns and rules of language above the sentence level to learn how language is used in different speech contexts.2.The qualities of teachers教师素质:ethic devotion; professional qualities; personal styles.municative competence(交际能力组成的5部分): a. linguistic competence b. pragmatic competence c. discourse competence d. strategic competence e. fluency4. Principles of communicative language teaching: a. communication principle b. task principle c. meaningfulness principle5.classification of communicative activities(交际活动的分类): a. functional communicative activities b. social interaction activities6.The role of teacher 教师的角色:a. controller b. assessor c. organizer d. prompter e. participant f. resource-provider 7. Classroom instructions: Classroom instructions refer to the type of language teachers use to organize or guide learning. They include giving directions to tasks or activities, providing explanations to a concept or language structure, setting requirements, checking comprehension, drawing attention, motivating learners, giving feedback, and assigning homework, etc.8. students grouping: a. whole class work b. pair work c. group work d. individual study6\7\81.Three ways to show the stress pattern words, phrases and sentences:1)Use gesture;2)Use the voice;3)Use the blackboard.2.Factors contribute to successful practice:1) pre-learning 2) volume and repetition 3) success-orientation 4) heterogeneity 5) teacher assistance 6) interest3.Grammar practice is usually divided into 2 categories: mechanical practice & meaningful/communicative practice.4.Mechanical practice involves activities that aimed at form accuracy.5.What does it mean to know a word? Knowing a word mans 1) knowing its pronunciation and stress; 2) knowing its spelling & grammatical properties; 3) knowing its meaning; 4) knowing how & when to use it to express the intended meaning.9\10\111. Principles for teaching listening 1).focus on process.2).combine listening with other skills.3).focus on the comprehension of meaning.4).grade difficulty level appropriately.2. Factors that affect the difficulty level of listening tasks, but they fall into 3 main categories:1)type of language used.2)task or purpose in listening.3)context in which the listening occurs.3. Models for teaching reading:1)Bottom-up model.(2)Top-down model 3)Interactive model4.The characteristic are common in successful speaking tasks:1) Maximum foreign talk; 2)Even participation;3)High motivation;4)Right language level.5. Littlewood divides communicative speaking activities into 2 types: Communicative activities: functional communication activities and social interaction activities. It also includes Pre-communicative activities: structural activities andQuasi-communicative activities. Pre-communicative activities are intended to prepare learners for Communicative activities. 6. Pre-reading activities: predicting; setting the scene; skimming; scanning. Skimming means reading quickly to get the gist,e.g.the main idea of the text. Scanning which means to read to locate specific information.7.Some speaking activities:1)controlled activities: mainly focus on form and accuracy; 2)semi-controlled activities: focus on meaning and communication; 3)communicative activities.8. Ur points out that factors that affect the success of role-plays are: 1)the teacher’s enthusiasm;2)careful instructions;3)clear situations and roles; 4)and making sure that the students have the language they will need to carry out the role-play.1.The main procedures of process writing(过程写作)include: Creating a motivation to write; brainstorming; mapping; freewriting; outlining; drafting; editing; revising; proofreading and conferencing.2. Principles can help teachers motivate students to write: 1) Make the topic of writing as close as possible to students’ life.2) Leave students enough room for creativity and imagination. 3) Prepare students well before writing. 4) Encourage collaborative group writing as well as individual writing. 5) Provide opportunities for students to share their writings. 6) Provide constructive and positive feedback. 7) Treat students’’ errors strategically. 8) Give students a sense of achievement from time to time.1.我国英语教学的六个基本原则原先所倡导的中学英语教学的基本原则:1、交际性原则2、阶段侧重原则3、语音词汇语法综合教学原则4、使用和控制使用本族语的原则5、以学生为中心的原则。

FLTM: foreign language teaching methodology is a science which studies the processes and patterns of foreign language teaching, aiming at revealing the natural and laws of foreign languages.Major approaches in FLT:Grammar-translation method (deductive演绎法)Direct method (inductive归纳法)Audio-lingual methodHumanistic approaches: that emphasize the development of human values, growth in self-awareness and in the understanding of others, sensitivity to human feelings and emotions, and active student involvement in learning and in the way human learning takes palaceThe silent waySuggestopediaCommunity language learning (CLL)Total physical response method (TPR)●The natural approach(NA)●The communicative approach(CA )An approach is a set of correlative assumptions dealing with the nature of language teaching ad leaning. Approach is axiomatic. It describes the nature of the subject matter to b taught.Method is an overall plan for the orderly presentation of language material, no part of which contradicts, and all of which is based upon, the selected approach. An approach is axiomatic, a method is procedural. Within one approach, there can be many methods.A technique is implementation---that which actually takes place in a classroom. It is a particular trick, stratagem, or contrivance used to accomplish an immediate objective. Techniques must b consistent with a method, and therefore I harmony with an approach as well.Views on language:Structural view: the structural view of language sees language as a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: the sound system (phonology); the discrete units of meaning produced by sound combinations (morphology); and the system of combining units of meaning for communication (syntax).Functional view: the functional view not only sees language as a linguistic system but also means for doing things. Functional activities: offering, suggesting, advising, apologizing, etc. International view: considers language to be a communicative tool, whose main use is to build up and maintain social relations between people. Therefore, learners not only need to know the grammar and vocabulary of the language but as importantly they need to know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative contexts.Process-oriented theories: are concerned with how the mind organizes new information such as habit formation, induction, making inference, hypothesis testing and generalization.Condition-oriented theories: emphasize the nature of the human and physical context in which language learning takes place, such as the number of students, the kind of input learners receives, and the atmosphere.Behaviorist theory, the idea of this method is that language is learned by constant repletion and the reinforcement of the teacher. Mistakes were immediately corrected, and correct utterances were immediately praised.Cognitive theory, language is not a form of behavior, it is an intricate rule-based system and alarge part of language acquisition is the learning of this system.Constructivist theory, believes that learning is a process in which the learner constructs meaning based on his/her own experiences and what he/she already knows.Socio-constructivist theory, similar to constructivist theory, socio-constructivist theory emphasizes interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context based on the concept of “Zone of Proximal Development” (ZPD) and scaffolding.Ethic devotion, professional qualities and personal stylesCLT: communicative language teachingTBLT: task-based language teachingThe goal of CLT is to develop students’communicative competence, which includes both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situations. P16Hedge discusses five main components of communicative competence: linguistic competence, pragmatic competence, discourse competence, strategic competence, and fluency.Howatt proposes a weak and a strong version of CLT.Weak version: learners first acquire language as a structural system and then learn how to use it in communication. --- the weak version regards overt teaching of language forms and functions as necessary means for helping learners to develop the ability to use them for communication.Strong version: language is acquired through communication. The learners discover the structural system in the process of leaning how to communicate.---regards experiences of using the language as the main means or necessary conditions for learning a language as they provide the experience for learners to see how language is used in communication.Communicative activities: P24Tasks are activities where the target language is used by the leaner for a communicative purpose (goal) in order to achieve an outcome.Four components of a task: a purpose, a context, a process, and a productTasks focus on the complete act of communication. (Purposeful & contextualized communication). Exercises focus the students’attention on the individual aspects of language, such as vocabulary, grammar or individual skills. (Focus on individual language items) Exercise-task comes halfway between tasks and exercises, consists of contextualized practice of language item.PPP: for teaching a new structure-based lesson, content lesson, presentation (introduces new vocabulary and grammatical structures), practice (the lesson moves from controlled practice to guided practice and exploitation of the texts when necessary) and production(the students are encouraged to use what they are learned and practiced to perform communicative tasks)The importance of lesson planning: 1. an unprepared teacher begins of a disastrous lesson.2. An unprepared teacher receives less trust and cooperation from the students. 3. The students are different, the time is different, and the mood is different.Lesson Planning: is a framework of a lesson in which teachers make advance decisions about what they hope to achieve and how they would like to achieve it. In other words, teachers need to think about the aims to be achieved, materials to be covered, activities to be organized, and techniques and resources to be used in order to achieve the aims of the lesson.Principles for good lesson planning: aim, variety, flexibility, learnability, and linkage. Variety: planning a number of different types of activities and where possible,introducing students to a wide selection of materials so that learning is always interesting, motivating and never monotonous for the students.Flexibility: preparing some extra and alternative tasks and activities at the class does not always go according to the plan so that teachers always have the option to cope with the unexpected situations rather than being the slaves of written plans or one methodology. Learnability:within capability of the students, not be too easy or beyond or below the students’ coping ability.Linkage: easy task followed by a comparatively difficult one, or do a series of language-focused activities to get the students prepared linguistically.Components of a lesson planning: background information, teaching aims, language content and skills, stages and procedures, teaching aids, assignments, and teacher’s after-lesson reflection.For skill-oriented lesson, focusing on developing skills, the model is applicable---pre-(reading), while-, post-. (Pre-step, while-step, post-step)Classroom management is the way teachers organize what goes on in the classroom.The role of the teacher: controller, assessor (evaluator, correcting mistakes and organizing feedback), organizer (organize and design task that students can perform in the class), prompter推动者(give appropriate prompts and give hints), participant, resource-provider, teacher’s new roles.There are rules to follow for making instructions effective.●The first is to use simple instructions and make them suit the comprehensive level of thestudents.●The second rule is to use the mother-tongue only when it is necessary.●Give students time to get used to listening to English instructions and help the make an effortto understand them.●Use body language to assist understanding and stick to it each time you teach the class. Student grouping: whole class group—same activity at the same rhythm and pace, lockstep, pair work, group work, individual studyDiscipline: refers to a code of conduct which binds a teacher and a group of students together so that learning can be more effective.Questioning in the classroom:Classification of question types: 1.closed questions and open questions 2.display questions and genuine questions 3.lower-order questions and higher-order questions 4.taxonomyClosed questions refer to those with only one s ingle correct answer while open questions may invite many different answers.Display questions are those that the answers are already known to the teacher and they are used for checking if students know the answer, too. Genuine questions are questions which are used to find out new information and since they often reflect real context, they are more communicative. Lower-order questions refer to those that simple require recalling of information or memorization of facts while higher order questions require more reasoning, analysis, and evaluation.Simple question and difficult questionA mistake refers to a performance error that is either a random guess or an “a slip of tongue”, it’s a failure performance to a known system.An error has direct relation with the learners’language competence. Results from Lack of knowledge in the target language. Language error cannot be self-corrected no matter how much attention is paidDealing with spoken errors: tasks or activities are focusing on accuracy or fluency. Balance between accuracy-based activities and fluency-based activities..When to correct: fluency work---not to interrupt, after the student’s performance; accuracy work---need to intervene moreHow to correct: direct teacher correction, indirect teacher correction, self-correction, peer correction, whole class correction.Goal of teaching pronunciation:Consistency: the pronunciation should be smooth and naturalIntelligibility: the pronunciation should be understandable t o the listenersCommunicative efficiency: the pronunciation should help convey the meaning that is intended by the speaker.Aspects of pronunciation: besides sounds and phonetic symbols, such as stress (strong and weak form, word stress and sentence stress), intonation and rhythm (variation).Perception practice: using minimal pairs, which order, same or different? Odd and out, Completion.Production practice: listen and repeat, fill the blanks, make up sentences, use meaningful context, use picture, use tongue twisters.Grammar presentation: The deductive method, the inductive method, the guided discovery methodGrammar practice: mechanical practice and meaningful/ communicative practice.Mechanical practice: involves activities that are aimed at form accuracy. Students pay repeated attention to a key element in a structure. Substitution drill and transformation drills.Meaningful practice: focus on the production, comprehension or exchange of meaning though the students keep an eye on the way newly learned structures are used in the process. It comes after mechanical practice. (Comparatives and superlatives). Using picture prompts, using mimes or gestures as prompts, using information sheet as prompts, using key phrases or key words as prompts, using chained phrases for story telling, using created situations.What does knowing a word involve? Denotative meaning; connotative meaning; chunk/collocations; synonyms, antonyms and hyponyms; receptive and productive vocabulary.Denotative meaning of a word or a lexical item refers to those words that we use to label things as regards real objects, such as a name or a sign, etc. in the physical world. Primary meaning of a word.A connotative meaning of a word refers to the attitudes or emotions of a language user in choosing a word and the influence of these on the listener or reader’s interpretation of the word.Collocations refer to words that co-occur with high frequency and have been accepted as ways for the use of words. For instance, see, look at, watch.Hyponyms refer to words which can be grounded together under the same superordinate concept. Receptive/passive vocabulary refers to words that one is able to recognize and comprehend in reading or listening but unable to use automatically in speaking or writing. Those words that one is not only able to recognize but also able to use in speech and writing are considered as one’s productive/active vocabulary.Ways of presenting vocabulary: inductive and deductive.Ways of consolidating vocabulary: labeling; spot the difference; describe and draw; play a game; use words series; word bingo; word association; finding synonyms and antonyms; categories; using word net-work; using the internet resources for more ideas.Developing vocabulary learning strategies: review regularly, guess meaning from context, organize vocabulary effectively, use a dictionary, and manage strategy use.Principles and models for teaching listening: focus on process, combine listening with other skills (listening can be practice with not-taking, and answers, role plays, retelling, interviewing, discussions, or a writing task), focus on the comprehension of meaning, grade difficulty level appropriately, principles for selecting and using listening activities.Two approaches are frequently used to describe different processes of listening.Bottom-up model and Top-down model.Bottom-up model: 从细节入手start with sound and meaning recognitions. Listeners construct meaning of what they hear based on the sound they hear, expect the listeners have a very effective short-term memory as they have to make sense of every sound in order to figure out the meaning of words, phrase, and structures. If there are unfamiliar sounds, listeners will find it very difficult to keep up with speaker. ---recognizing sounds of words, phrases or structures.Top-down model: 着重概要listening for gist and making use of the contextual clues and background knowledge to construct meaning are emphasized. Listeners can understand better if they already have some knowledge in their mind about the topic. Such knowledge is also termed as prior knowledge or schematic knowledge---mental frameworks for various things and experience we hold in our long-term memory. ---referring meaning from broad contextual clues and background knowledge.Three teaching stages: pre-listening—warming up; while-listening---listening comprehension; post-listening---checking answers.Teaching speakingLess complex syntax, short cuts, incomplete sentences, devices such as fillers, hesitation device to give time to thinking before speaking, false start, spontaneous, time-constraint.Types of speaking: pre-communicative activities—mechanical activities; communicative activities---meaningful activities.Controlled activities, semi-controlled activities, communicative activities:Information-gap activities; dialogues and role-plays; activities using pictures; problem-solving activities; change the story; human scrabbleOrganizing speaking tasks: use small group workTeaching readingThe construction of meaning from a printed or written message.Two broad levels in the act reading.1). A recognition task of perceiving visual signals from the printed page through the eyes.2). A cognitive task of interpreting the visual information revealing the received information with the reader’s own general knowledge, and reconstructing the meaning that the writer had meant to convey.For teaching: intensive/extensive readingIn terms of methods: skimming/scanning/predictingFor reading practice: reading aloud/silent readingThe role of vocabulary in reading: sight vocabulary: words that one is able to recognize immediately are often referred to as sight vocabulary.Principles and models for teaching reading: bottom-up model; top-down model; interactive modelPre-reading activities: predicting (predicting based on the tile/ based on vocabulary/based on the T/F questions) setting the scene, skimming, and scanningWhile-reading activities: TD (a transition device)Reading comprehension questions: 1. questions of literal comprehension 2. Questions involving reorganization or reinterpretation 3. Questions for inference (what is implied but not explicitly stated) 4. questions for evaluation or appreciation (making judgment about what the writer is trying to do and how successful he/she is in achieving his/her purpose) 5. Questions for personal responseIntensive reading is an accuracy-oriented activity involving reading for detail; the main purpose is to learn language embedded in the reading texts, which are usually short. Extensive reading is a fluency activity. The main purpose is to achieve global understanding. Te reading texts usually contains less new vocabulary and is longer than those intended for intensive reading.Teaching writingWriting for consolidating language, writing for communication, between writing for learning and writing for communication, imaginationNot have a real communicative purpose; for language skill; a little bit communicative; communicative approach; neither restrictions in contents nor in word limit; more communicative; more motivatedCA: communication approachA Productive approach to writing 成果法/a prose model approach---fruitlessA Process approach to writing 过程法: The teacher provides to guide students through the process that they undergo when they are writing. This kind of guidance should be gradually withdrawn so that the students can finally become independent writers.Main procedures of process writing include: creating a motivation to write, brainstorming, mapping, freewriting, outlining, drafting, editing, revising, proofreading and conferencing.。

To learn a language isto learn its vocabulary and structural rules.英语教学法重点2) Functional view:Language is a linguistic system as well as a means for doing things.Learners learn a language in order to be able to do things with it (useit). To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine thegrammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that performthe functions.3) Interactional view:Language is a communicative tool to build up and maintain social relations between people. Learners need to know the rules of a languageand where, when and how it is appropriate to use them.1.3Views on Language LearningTwo broad learning theories:Process-oriented theories are concerned with how the mind organizesnew information.Condition-oriented theories emphasize the nature of human and physical context.Behaviorist theoryB.

There are a variety of element that contributes to thequalities of a good language teacher. These element can be categorizedinto three groups:ethic devotion, professional quality and personalstyles.1.5 How can one become a good language teacher?Wallace's (1991) ‘reflective model' (Figure 1.1, p.9)?英语教学法重点Stage 1: language developmentStage 2: learning, practice, reflectionThe learning stage is the purposeful preparation that a languagenormally receives before the practice,This preparation can include:1.

The first stage is language development.All English teacher are supposed to have a sound command of English,and language is always changing,language development can never come to an end.II. The second stage is the most important stage and it is more complicated because i t involves three sub-stages:learning,practice,and reflection.(1)The learning stage is the purposeful preparation before a teacher starts the practice of teaching.It includes three parts:learning from other's experience,learning the received knowledge and learning from one's experiences.Both experience knowledge and received knowledge are useful when a teacher goes ton practice.(2)The term 'practice' can be used in two senses. One sense is also called pseudo practice.The other sense i s the real classroom teaching.(3)Teacher benefit from practice if they keep on reflecting on what they've done,Not only after they finish their practice,but also while they are doing the practice,III.

Teaching grammarGrammar teaching depends on certain variables(learner and ins t ructional ) in the language teaching/learning context Grammar presentation methods-deductive method: relies on reasoning, analyzing and comparingteaching procedure:teacher’s example on the board,teacher’s explanation of the rules (in student’s native language),student’s practice application of the rules.Advantages:good for selected and motivate students;save time to explain complex rules;increase stude nts’ confidence in examination.Disadvantages:grammar is taught isolated ly;little attention is paid to meaning;the practice is often mechanical -inductive method:teaching procedure;authentic language presentation(give grammar examples);let students observe,analyse,compare examples;help students induct grammar rules,Advantages:inspire students’ thinking activities;motivate students’ learning interests;grammar is taught in context.Disadvantages:the presentation of grammar is more complex and time consumption;grammar is not taught directly;some rules can not be induced easily-guided discovery method: Similar to the inductive method:the students are induced to discover rules by themselves (similar);the process of the discovery is carefully guided and assisted by the teacher and the rules are then elicited and taught explicitly.(different) Implicit and explicit knowledge:Implicit knowledge refers to knowledge that unconsciously exists in our mind, which we can make use of automatically without making any effort;Explicit knowledge refers to our conscious knowledge about the language. We can talk about it, analyse it and apply it in conscious ways.Learning and acquiring (second language acquisition theory)The synthesis approaches to grammatical pedagogy:Collocational: grammar should be built on collocational relations between individual lexical items and their subcategories. Constructive: one’s knowledge of grammar is built bit by bit, which closely model the way language is learned and used. Contextual: Elements and structures are taught in relation to their context. Syntactic and lexical choices are explicitly related to pragmatic ones, and to social and cultural contexts.Contrastive: grammar involves drawing the learner’s attention to contrast the differences between the target language and other language.Grammar practice:Pre-learning;Volume and repetition:Success-orientation.Heterogeneity .Teacher assistance.Interest 1.Mechanical practice:activities that are aimed at form accuracy.By doing mechanical practice,students pay repeated attention to a key element in a structure.form of practice:Substitution and transformation drills2. Meaningful practice the focus is on the production, comprehension or exchange of meaning though the students “keep an eye on” the way newly learned structures are used in the process.ing prompts for practice:The prompts can be pictures, mimes, tables, charts or key words, etc.A good presentation should include both oral and written and form and meaning Visual materials can aid comprehensionIt’s the teacher’s involvement and his or her ability to personalise teaching and make activities engaging that often promotes successful learning.Teaching vocabularyThe first question need to know is what does knowing a word involve.A word:knowing its pronunciation and stress; spelling and grammatical properties; meaning; how and when to use it to express the intended meaning (freestanding and bound morphine)Vocabulary learning involves ate least two aspects of meaning: the understanding of its denotative and connotative meaning; and understanding the sense relations among wordsDenotative meaning of a word or a lexical item refers to those words that we use to label things as regards real objects Connotative meaning of a word refers to ‘the attitudes or emotion s of a language user in choosing a word and the influence of these on the listener or reader’s interpretation of the word. This words that may express a positive or negative attitude or subtle feelings toward something.Collocations refers to words that co-occur with high frequency and have been accepted as ways for the use of words. It is believed that teaching word collocations is a more effective way than just teaching one single word at a time.Synonyms refer to items that mean the same, or nearly the same.Antonyms refer to items that mean the opposite of a word. Hyponyms refer to words which can be grouped together under the same superordinate conceptReceptive and Productive vocabularyPassive vocabulary: the words they know.Active vocabulary: the words they useSo the job for the teacher is to guide the students to those words which will help them to add to their active vocabularies, and to distinguish those words from the much larger number of passive items. At the beginning of language learning, all the words which are taught must be acquired for active use, later, at intermediate and advanced levels, most of the words students meet will only be needed for passive use.Ways of consolidating vocabulary:labelling,spot the difference,descibe and draw,play a game,use word series,word bingo,word association,find a synonyms and antonym,categories,using word net-work,using the Internet resources for some ideasDeveloping vocabulary building strategies:review regularly,guess meaning from context, Organize vocabulary effectively,using a dictionary,manage strategy useTeaching listeningListening problems:lack of teaching materials,both with print materials and audio or video tapes,lack of equipment in some schools;lack of real-life situations:lack of professional qualified instructorsA number of people have frequently made the point that of the total time an individual is engaged in communication: approximately 9% is devoted to writing, 16% to reading, 30% to speaking,45% to listeningListening and reading are receptive skills, but listening can be more difficult than reading.Different speakers produce the same sounds in different waysThe listener has little or no control over the speed of the input of spoken material;Spoken material is often heard only once and in most cases,we cannot go back and listen again as we can when we read;The listener cannot pause to work out the meaning of the heard material as can be done when reading;Speech is more likely to be distorted by the media which transmit sounds or background noise that can make it difficult to hear clearly; The listener sometimes has to deal simultaneously with another task while listening, such as formal note-taking, writing down directions or messages from telephone calls, or operating while listening to instructions.Characteristics of the listening process,formal or informal?rehearsed or non-rehearsed?can the listener interact with the speaker or not?Listening characteristics:Spontaneity,Context,visual clues,listener’s response,speaker’s adjustmen tListening purpose:for social reasons,to obtain and exchange informationPrinciples and models of teaching listeningFocus on process:(they have to hear what is being said,they have to pay attention and construct a meaningful message in their mind by rela ting what they hear to what they already know;it’s also possible to hear people talking without paying attention;we also know that if we don’t have enough previous knowledge of what is being said,it’s more difficult to make sense of what is said)Combine listening with other skills;Focus on the comprehension of meaning;Grade difficulty level appropriately Designing listening activity:give a clear purpose, a specific task,an appropriate context for doing themBottom-up model:Listening comprehension is believ ed to start with sound and meaning recognitions.In other words,‘we use information in the speech itself to try to comprehend the meaning’Listeners construct meaning of what they hear based on the sound they hear.Top-down model:listening for gist and making use of the contextual clues and background knowledge to construct meaning are emphasised.In other words,listening comprehension involves ‘knowledge that a listener brings to a text,sometimes called ‘inside the head’ information,as opposed to the informat ion that is available within the text itself’ In such a case,listeners can understand better if they know something about the speaker,the setting,the topic and the purpose of the talk.prior knowledge or schematic knowledge—mental frameworks for various things and experience we hold in our long-term memoryPre-listening activities:aim to motivate students,to activate their prior knowledge,and to teach key words or key sentences to the students before listening begins predicting,setting the scene,listening for the gist and specific informationWhile-listening:no specific responses,listen and tick,listen and sequence,listen and act,listen and draw,listen and fill,listen and take notesPost-listening:multiple-choice questions,answering questions,note-taking and gap-filling ,dictogloss(preparation dictation reconstruction analysis and correction)Integrate listening with the practice of other language skills,role play,debate,discussion,writing backTeaching speakingSpeech characteristic:spontaneous,full of false starts repetitions incomplete sentences short phrases time-constraintspoken languages features:Using less complex syntax;Taking short cuts,(incomplete sentences);Using fixed conventional phrases/ chunks. Using devices such as fillers, hesitation device to give time to think before speaking. Both learners and teachers need to learn to accept repetitions,rephrase,hesitations,incomplete sentences,fillers or pauses.th is doesn’t mean we don’t encourage fluent speaking.In training students’speaking skills,features of natural speech should be accepted.this doesn’t only have implication for teaching speaking but also for assessing speaking.Encourage students to speak up is the first and most important task Principles:Balancing accuracy-based with fluency-based practices, Contextualising practice, Personalising practice, Building up confidence, Maximising meaningful interactions, Helping students develop speaking strategiesDesigning speaking tasks:meaningful motivation linguistically appropriate cognitively challengeMaximum foreign talk even participation high motivation right language levelPre-communicative activities :structural,quasi-communicative Communicative activities :Functional communicative and Social interactionRole-play :perform in different moods,change different role relationship,actual word can be varied,make the dialogue longerLearners should be helped move from form to using what is learned in meaningful communicationThe problem is not having nothing to say but lacking the opportunity to say itTeaching readingReading aloud and silent reading:Reading aloud cannot replace silent reading as it involves only the skills of pronunciation and intonation.Real reading ability re-quires the reading skills of skimming, scanning, predictingEffective reading:clear purpose in reading; read silently; read phrase by phrase,rather than word by word; concentrate on the important bits,skim the rest,and skip the insignificant parts; use different speeds and strategies for different reading tasks; perceive the information in the target language rather than mentally translate; guess the meaning of new words from the context,or ignore them; use background information to help understand the text.Reading comprehension means extracting the relevant information from the text as efficiently as possible,connecting the information from written message with one’s own knowledge to arrive at an understanding (construction of meaning from printed or written messa ge) Two broad levels in reading:1) a recognition task of perceiving visual signals from the printed page through the eyes;2) a cognitive task of interpreting the visual information,relating the receive information with reader’s own knowledge Vocabulary role:efficient reading begins with a lightening-like automatic recognition of word.this initial process of accurate,rapid and automatic recognition of vocabulary frees one’s mind to use other resources(reasoning abilities,,knowledge about topic)to con struct meaningSight vocabulary:you can recognise with both sounds and meanings without special effort from your brainFluent reading depends on an adequate sight vocabulary,a general knowledge about the target language, some knowledge about the topic, wide knowledge about the world and enough knowledge about text types.Teaching model:bottom-up model top-down model interactive modelPre-reading:pooling existing knowledge about the topic;predicting the contents of the text,skimming and scanning the text or parts of the text for certain purpose;learning key words and structures(predicting setting the scene skimming scanning)While reading: Information presented in plain text form is not facilitative for information retentionThe way to transfer information from one form to another is called a transition deviceReading comprehension questionsQuestions for literal comprehension.directly and explicitly available in the ually answered in the words of the text itself. Questions involving reorganization or reinterpretation.obtain literal information from various parts and put it to-gether or reinterpretQuestions for inferences. This type of questions require students to consider what is implied but not explicitly stated.Questions for evaluation or appreciation.most sophisticated ques-tions which involve making a judgment about the text in terms of what the writer is trying to convey.Questions for personal response. The answers to these questions depend most on the reader’s reaction to the content of the text.Post-reading:discussion questions,reproducing the text,role play,gap-filling,discussion,retelling,writingThe teaching of reading should focus on developing students’reading skills and strategies and on maintaining students’motivat ion for readingTeaching writingWriting purpose:get things done and to form;maintain social relationships;give a voice for shy students;less threatening for anxious students as it gives them to think about their meaning and purpose;raise awareness of how language worksA communicative approach to writing:Writing for learning”and “writing for communication”Sense of authenticity and audience motivation for writing purpose for writing proper procedures for writingProblems in writing tasks:They are mainly accuracy-based.They are designed to practise a certain target structures.There is insufficient preparation before the writing stage.There is no sense of audience and authenticity.Students are given ideas to express rather than being invited to invent their own.There is no opportunity for creative writing, particular for expressing unusual or original ideas.Many of them are test-oriented.The important point is that they are given the freedom to write about themselves rather than to write what they are told to write and therefore what they write should be more meaningful and communicativeA process approach to writing: creating a motivation to write, brainstorming, mapping, freewriting, outlining, drafting, editing, revising, proofreading and conferencing.Motivating students to write.1.make the topic of writing as close as possible to students’ life.leave students enough room for creativity and imagination. prepare students well before writing. encourage collaborative group writing as well as individual writing. provide opportunities for students to share their writings. provide constructive and positive feedback.treat students’ errors strategically. give students a sense of achievement from time to time.We have emphasized that the teaching of writing should focus on the process rather than the product, and that all the writing tasks should have communicative purposesSummative assessment is mainly based on testing,it’s done mostly at the end of a learnin g period or a school year Formative assessment is based on information collected in the classroom during the teaching process for the purpose of improving teaching and learningTeacher’s observations continuous assessment student’s self-assessment project work portfolios。

Unit 1 Language and Learning1.1 How do we learn language?We learn language at different agesPeople have different experiencesPeople learn languages for different reasonsPeople learn languages in different waysPeople have different capabilities in language learningLearning can be affected by the way how language is taughtLearning is affected by the degree of success one is expect to achieve.Thus the challenge confronting language teaching is how teaching methodology can ensure successful learning by all the learners who have more differences than the commonality.1. 2 What are the major views of language?1) Structural view:Language is a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: phonology, morphology, lexicology and syntacx. To learn a language is to learn its vocabulary and structural rules.2) Functional view:Language is a linguistic system as well as a means for doing things. Learners learn a language in order to be able to do things with it (use it). To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that perform the functions.3) Interactional view:Language is a communicative tool to build up and maintain social relations between people. Learners need to know the rules of a language and where, when and how it is appropriate to use them.1.3Views on Language LearningTwo broad learning theories:Process-oriented theories are concerned with how the mind organizes new information.Condition-oriented theories emphasize the nature of human and physical context.Behaviorist theoryB. F. Skinner⏹ A stimulus-response theory of psychology⏹Audio-lingual method⏹The idea of this method is that language is learned by constantrepetition and the reinforcement of the teacher. Mistakes were immediately corrected, and correct utterances were immediately praised.B.Cognitive theory⏹Influenced by Noam Chomsky (revival of structural linguistics)⏹Language as an intricate rule-based system⏹ A learner acquires language competence which enables him to producelanguage.⏹One influential idea of cognitive approach to language teachingis that students should be allowed to create their own sentence based on their own understanding of certain rules.C.Constructivist theory⏹Jean Piaget (1896—1980)⏹The learner constructs meaning based on his/her own experiencesand what is already known.D.Socio-constructivist theory⏹Vygotsky⏹“Zone of Proximal Development” (ZPD); scaffolding (脚手架)⏹Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction betweenthe teacher and the learner and between learners.1.4 What are the qualities of a good language teacher?A good language teacher does not solely depend on his/her command of the language. There are a variety of element that contributes to the qualities of a good language teacher. These element can be categorized into three groups:ethic devotion, professional quality and personal styles.1.5 How can one become a good language teacher?☐Wallace’s (1991) ‘reflective model’ (Figure 1.1, p.9)Stage 1: language developmentStage 2: learning, practice, reflectionThe learning stage is the purposeful preparation that a language normally receives before the practice,This preparation can include:1. Learning from others’ experience2. Learning the received knowledge3. Learning from one’s own experiencesThe practice stage (2 senses)Pseudo practice: short period of time assigned to do teaching practice as part of one’s pre-service education, usually under the supervision of instructorsThe real classroom teaching: what a teacher undertakes after he/she finishes formal educationTeachers benefit from practice if they keep on reflecting on what they have been doingGoal: professional competenceUnit 2 Communicative Principles and Task-based language teaching2.1 How is language learned in classrooms different from language used in real life?Language used in real life Language taught in theclassroomTo perform certain communtcative functions To focus on forms (structures or patterns)Use all skills, both receptive skills and productive skills To focus on one or two language skills and ignore others.Used in a certain context To isolate language from itscontext2.2 What is communicative competence?To bridge the gap between classroom language teaching and real-life language use, one solution is to adopt CLT, the goal of which is to develop students’ communicative competence.Definition:Communicative competence include both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situationsFive components of communicative competence (Hedge 2000)◆Linguistic competence (语言能力)The knowledge of language itself, its form and meaning.◆Pragmatic competence (语用能力)The appropriate use of language in social context.◆Discourse competence (语篇能力)One’s ability to create coherent written text or conversation and the ability to understand them◆Strategic competence (策略能力)Strategies one employs when there is communication breakdown due to lack of resources.◆Fluency(流利性)One ‘s ability to ‘link units of speech together with facility and without strain or inappropriate slowness or undue (过分的,不适当的)hesitation’2.3Implications for teaching and learningTeaching must enable learners to grasp the five components of communicative competence, but not just the linguistic competence.2.4 Principles of CLTThree principles suggest by Richard and Rodgers:1 Communication principle:involve real communication2 Task principle:Carry out meaningful tasks3 Meaningfulness principle:Meaningful language to the learnerHowatt proposes a weak and a strong version of CLT:Weak versionLearners first acquire language as a structural system and then learn how to use it in communication.Strong version“language is acquired through communication” (Ho watt, 1984:279)2.5 Major Activity Types of CLTA sequence of activities represented in Littlewood (1981: 86)Pre-communicative activities✓Structural activities✓Quasi-communicative activities类似,准,半Communicative activities(PP22-23)▪Functional communication activities▪Social interaction activities2.6 Six Criteria for evaluating communicative classroom activities(main features of communicative activities?)●Communicative purpose●Communicative desire●Content, not form●Variety of language●No teacher intervention●No materials control2.7 What is Task-based Language Teaching?TBLT is a further development of CLT. It shares the same belief in the use of language in real life, but stresses the importance to combine form-focused teaching with communication-focused teaching.Four components of a task1. A purpose2. A context3. A process4. A productExercises, exercise-tasks and tasksExercise-tasks is halfway between tasks and exercises. This kind of activity consists of contextualized practice of language item.2.8 Differences between PPP and TBLT1 The way students use and experience language in TBLT is radically different from PPP.*Free of language control*A genuine need to use language to communicate*A free exchange of ideas*Appropriateness & accuracy of language form in general, not production of a single form*A genuine need for accuracy and fluency2. TBL can provide a context for grammar teaching and form-focused activities. PPP isdifferent in this aspect.■A task-established context⏹Encouraged to think, analyze, not simply to repeat, manipulate andapply⏹ A more varied exposure to natural language⏹Language forms not pre-selected for focus⏹Learner-free selection of language⏹TBL cycle lead from Fluency to accuracy (+fluency)⏹In TBL Integrated skills practiced2.9 How to design tasks?Step 1 Think about students’ needs, interests, and abilitiesStep 2 Brainstorm possible tasksStep 3 Evaluate the listStep 4 Choose the language itemsStep 5 Preparing materials2.10 CLT and TBLT in the Chinese context☐Problems with CLT1. The very first and forceful argument is whether it is culturally appropriate2. The second problem of CLT relate to the design the syllabus for teaching purpose in the classroom.3. The third problem is that whether such an approach is suitable for all age level of learners or all competence level of learners.⏹Constraints of TBLT⏹The first is it may not be effective for presenting new language items ⏹The second constraint is Time as teachers have to prepare task-basedactivities very carefully.⏹The third is the culture of learning⏹The forth is Level of difficultyUnit 33.1 A brief history of foreign language teaching inA phase of restoration (1978-1985)A phase of rapid development (1986-1992)A phase of reform (1993-2000)A phase of innovation from 20003.2 Designing principles for the National English Curriculum1) Aim for educating all students, and emphasizequality-oriented education.2) Promote learner-centeredness, and respect individual differences.3) Develop competence-based objectives, and allow flexibility and adaptability.4) Pay close attention to the learning process, and advocate experiential learning and participation.5) Attach particular importance to formative assessment, and give special attention to the development of competence.6) Optimize learning resources, and maximize opportunities for learning and using the language.3.3 Goals and objectives of English language teachingThe new curriculum is designed to promote students’ overall language ability, which is composed of five interrelated components, namely, language skills, language knowledge, affects, learning strategies and cultural understanding. Each component is further divided into a few sub-categories. Language teaching is no longer aimed only for developing language skills and knowledge, but expanded todeveloping learners’ positive attitude, motivation, confidence as well as strategies for life-long learning along with cross-cultural knowledge, awareness and capabilities.The overall language ability required in the 2001 National English Curriculum includes the following aspects language knowledge, language skills, learning strategies, affects and cultural understanding.3.4 Design of the National English Curriculum3.5 The standards for different levels of competence3.6 Challenges facing English language teachers1) English language teachers are expected to change their views about language which is not a system of linguistic knowledge but a means for communication.2) English language teachers are expected to change their traditional role of a knowledge transmitter to a multi-role educator.3) English language teachers are expected to use more task-based activities and put the students at the center of learning.4) English language teachers are expected to use more formative assessment in addition to using tests.5) English language teachers are expected to use modern technology in teaching, creating more effective resources for learning and for using the language.Unit 4. Lesson Planning备课4.1 why is Lesson Planning ImportantA lesson plan is a framework of a lesson in which teachers make advance decisions about what they hope to achieve and how they would like to achieve it.Proper lesson plan is essential for both novice and experienced teachers. Language teachers benefit from lesson planning in a number of ways.1.Makes teachers aware of the aims and language contents of thelesson, so as to plan the activities and choose the techniques accordingly;2.Helps teachers distinguish the various stages of a lesson andsee the relationship between them so that the activities of different difficulty levels can be arranged properly and the lesson can move smoothly from one stage to another;3.Gives teachers the opportunity to anticipate potential problemsso that they can be prepared;4.Gives teachers, esp. novice ones, confidence in class;5.Raises teachers’ awaren ess of the teaching aids needed;6.Planning is a good practice and a sign of professionalism.Teachers benefit from proper lesson plans in a number of other ways:☐To enable the teacher to improve class timing;☐Lesson plans are also an aid to continuing development (plan-practice -reflection)4.2 Principles for Good Lesson Planning1.Aim: the realistic goals for the lesson; what students are ableto do by the end of the lesson;2.Variety: different types of activities; a wide selection ofmaterials;3.Flexibility: preparing some extra and alternative tasks andactivities4.Learnability: the contents and tasks planned should be withinthe learning capability of the studentsDoing things that are beyond or below the students’ coping ability will diminish their motivation (Schumann, 1999)5.Linkage: the stages and the steps within each stage are linkedwith one another.4.3 what are macro planning and micro planning?Macro planningPlanning over a long period of time which is often done by a group of teachers, it provides a general guidance for language teachers Micro planningPlanning for a specific unit or a lesson, which usually lasts from one to two weeks or forty to fifty minutes respectively. Micro planning is often an individual activity and different teachers may have different ways of writing their own lesson plans.❑Macro planning involves the following:Knowing about the professionKnowing about the institutionKnowing about the learnersKnowing about the curriculum/syllabusKnowing about the textbookKnowing about the objectivesA lesson plan usually has the following components:Background informationTeaching aimsTeaching content and skillsStages and proceduresTeaching aidsEnd of lesson summaryOptional activities and AssignmentAfter lesson reflectionUnit 5 Classroom Management5.1 What is classroom management?Classroom management is the way teachers organize what goes on in the classroom. (68)the goal of classroom management is to create an atmosphere conducive to (有助于)interacting in English in meaningful ways (Gebhard, 1996).Efficient classroom management can be achieved when the following six conditions are met.1.The teacher plays appropriate roles.2.The teacher provides clearer instructions.3.Students are grouped in a way suitable for the learning activities.4.There is discipline as well as harmony in the class.5.The teacher asks appropriate questions.6.The students’ errors are treated properly5.2 What roles does the teacher play?1.Controller (what to learn; how to learn)2.Assessor (correcting mistakes; organizing feedback)aniser (students’ activities)4.Prompter (when ss don’t know what to do…)5.Participant (in ss’ activities)6.Resource-providerTeachers’ roles are not static. They change with the development of the society.☐New roles:☐Teacher as facilitator⏹Create a positive learning environment, use various strategies tomotivate learners, guide students in planning and assessing their learning and develop their learning strategies…☐Teacher as guide⏹Activate students’ prior knowledge; find individual in terests andexplore potential capabilities; acknowledge and respect individual differences; give each equal opportunity in learning; evaluate students’ development fairly from an all-round perspective…☐Teacher as researcher⏹Observe a problem, reflect on the reasons, think about possiblesolutions, implement the solutions and evaluate the results…Q: How much control is needed?⏹Appropriate degree of control⏹Different activities need a different degrees of control.⏹The more communicative an activity, the less control it needs.Q: What does the teacher do as an assessor?1.Correcting mistakes⏹The correcting should be gentle, not harsh.anizing feedback⏹The feedback should be focused on students’ success or progress sothat a success-oriented learning atmosphere can be created.Q: How to organise?⏹Before the activity: what the activity is going to be like,anticipated problems; clear instructions given to students (with T’s demonstration)⏹During the activity: overhear what the students are saying, rectifywrong practices; take notes for later feedbackQ: When to prompt?⏹When students are not sure how to start an activity, or what to donext, or what to say next…⏹When a student doesn’t seem to be ready for an answer,…⏹When a student finishes with a very shor t answer,…Q: why to participate in student’s activities?⏹Monitoring + participating changes the role from an authority toa conversationalist, a good chance for students to practise Englishwith a superior…Q: What do you think of the jug-and-mug metaphor?Although the jug-and-mug method has been widely criticised, the teacher is still considered a good and convenient resource for the students.”5.3 How to give effective classroom instructions?Classroom instructions refer to the type of language teachers use to organize or guide learning.1.To use simple instructions and make them suit the comprehension levelof the students;2.To use the mother-tongue only when it is necessary;3.Give students time to get used to listening to English instructions;e body language to assist understanding;5.Model the task/activity before letting students into groups or pairs…6.Teachers are not expected to do all the talking in class.Tip: Demonstration is usually more effective than words.5.4 What are the different ways for student grouping?⏹Whole class work, pair work, group work, individual study1.Whole class work☐All the students are under the control of the teacher, doing the same activity at the same rhythm and pace.2.Pair work☐Students work in pairs on an exercise or task.3.Group work☐Students work in small groups of 3-5 students.4.Individual study☐Students work on their own at their own speed.Q: How to group? (Grouping methods)1.Whole class work is normally used when presenting and explaining newlanguage or new information and it should be used wisely by the teachers.2.Successful group/pair work depends on skillful organization.3.The biggest problem for group work is the selection of group members.4.While teachers are encourage to use pair wok and group work to providemore practice chance, individual study should not be forgotten.Types of student grouping and their advantages and disadvantages in P314 (task4)5.5 Discipline in the language classroomQ: What does discipline mean?Discipline refers to a code of conduct which binds a teacher anda group of students together so that learning can be more effective.(78)Q: Does discipline guarantee effective learning?☐No. There might be little learning even the class is very disciplined.☐Although discipline is necessary, it is not a sufficient condition for effective learning as a thoroughly indisciplined atmosphere will surely yield no learning at all. (79)Q: How to maintain discipline?P.79Although discipline is often discussed together with classroom management, Classroom management skills are not sufficient if discipline is to be achieved,rather,a variety of teacher’s behavior contribute to discipline, such as the teacher’s choice of methodology, their interpersonal relationships with students, their preparation for the lesson. Beside, student’s motivation, which can be enhanced by the teacher action, is extremely important for discipline.When students are engaged in learning, they will be disciplined.(79)☐Ss are clear about learning purpose;☐Ss are able to do the work but find it challenging;☐Ss are emotionally, physically and intellectually involved by the tasks;☐The presentation, variety and structure of the work and activities generate curiosity and interest;☐Ss have opportunities to ask questions and try out ideas;☐Ss can see what they have achieved and how they had made progress;☐Ss get a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment from the work.Q: What causes discipline problems?⏹ A gap in the lesson (e.g. bad planning, equipment fails to work)⏹Unclear instructions⏹Lack of teacher attention⏹The teacher concentrates on lengthy explanations to one individualso that the others get bored⏹Work is too easy or too challengingQ: What measures can we take for undisciplined acts and badly behaving students?☐Harmer (1983) p.811.Act immediately.2.Stop the class.3.Rearrange the seats.4.Change the activity.5.Talk to students after class.6.Create a code of behavior.⏹’s (1996) advice1.Deal with it quietly.2.Don’t take things personally.3.Don’t use threats.5.6 How to make questioning more effective?☐Questions should be closely linked to the learning objectives in the lesson;☐Questions should be staged so that the level of challenge increases as the lesson proceeds;☐There should be a balance between closed and open, lower-order and higher-order questions;☐Wait time is important to allow students to think through their answers;☐Ss should be provided opportunities to ask their own questions and seek their own answers;☐A secure and relaxed atmosphere of trust is needed and ss’ opinions and ideas are valued.What types of questions are there?( Classification of questions)1.Closed and open questions;2.Display and genuine questions;3.Lower-order and high-order questions;4.Bloom’s taxonomy分类系统(Nuttall, 1982)①Knowledge②Comprehension③Application④Analysis⑤Synthesis⑥Evaluation5.7 Dealing with errorsQ: What are errors? How are they different from mistakes?☐A mistake refers to “a performance error that is either a random guess or a ‘slip of tongue’, and it is a failure performance to a known system” (Brown, 2000: 218-219)☐An error has direct relation with the learner’s language competence. Errors do not result from carelessness nor hesitation, but lack of knowledge in the target language.☐A mistake can be self-corrected; an error cannot be.Q: How to deal with errors?☐In dealing with errors and mistakes we need to be clear whether the task or activity is focusing on accuracy or fluency.Q: When to correct errors?☐Generally, it is best not to interrupt students during fluency work unless communication breaks down.☐Let a trivial mistake pass if most of the language is right.☐For some common mistakes, take a note in mind first and correct after the student’s performance.Q: How to correct errors?☐Different ways and techniques:⏹Direct teacher correction⏹Indirect teacher correction⏹Self-correction⏹Peer correction⏹Whole class correctionQ: Which techniques to use?☐As a general rule, indirect teacher correction is encouraged rather than direct ones to avoid damaging ss’ self-esteem and confidence.☐In practice, self-correction is encouraged before teacher correction or peer correction, esp. for mistakes.☐The whole class correction is used for main error types (e.g.The Big Ten)Summary1.Roles of the teacher: controller, assessor, organiser, prompter,participant, resource-provider, facilitator, guide, researcher, etc.2.Classroom instructions: simple; suit the level of students3.Grouping: whole class work, group work, pair work, individual study4.Discipline: to engage ss in learning; how to maintain discipline,how to treat with undisciplined acts5.Questioning: different classifications; questioning techniques6.Error correction: error and mistake; different ways and techniquesfor correcting errorsUnit 6 Teaching PronunciationCritical Period Hypothesis: a biologically determined period of life when language can be acquired more easily and beyond which time language is increasing difficult to acquire.6.1 The role of pronunciationDebateSide A: students do not need to learn pronunciation because pronunciation will take care of itself as the students develop overall language ability.Side B: Failure in pronunciation is a great hindrance to language learning.Views of teaching pronunciation vary☐The Learners who have more exposure to English need less focus on pronunciation than those who only learn English in the class.☐Adult learners need more focus on pronunciation because they are more likely to substitute English sounds with sounds from their native language.☐The teaching of pronunciation should focus on the ss’ abilit y to identify and produce English sounds themselves. (pronunciation vs. phonetics)☐Ss should not be led to focus on reading and writing phonetic transcripts of words, esp. for young students.☐Phonetic rules are helpful for ss to develop ability to cope with English pronunciation and they should be introduced at a suitable stage.☐Stress and intonation are important and should be taught from the very beginning.6.2 The goal of teaching pronunciationThe goal of teaching pronunciation is not to teach learners to achieve a perfect imitation of a native accent, but simply to get the learners to pronounce accurately enough to be easily and comfortably comprehensible to other speakers.The realistic goals of teaching pronunciation is as following:☐Consistency: the pronunciation should be smooth and natural;☐Intelligibility: the pronunciation should be understandable to the listeners;☐Communicative efficiency: the pronunciation should help convey the meaning that is intended by the speaker.6.3 What aspects of pronunciation do we need to teach?Pronunciation is an umbrella term covering many aspects, beside sound and phone symbols, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm, of course ,these aspects are not isolated from each other, rather, they are interrelated.Q: How to achieve good pronunciation?☐Practice makes perfect☐Both mechanical practice and meaningful practice are beneficial.6.4 Practising sounds(List some methods of practicing sounds. )Mechanical drilling is boring and demotivating; it is important to combine drilling pronunciation exercises with more meaningful exercises that focus on whatever aspect ofpronunciation is the focus of the lesson.Focus on a soundFocus on a individual sounds especially those sound that are difficult to learnPerception practice☐What is the goal of perception practice?⏹Developing the students’ ability to identify and distinguishbetween different sounds.☐Examples of perception practice:⏹Using minimal pairs (with one sound difference): will/well;ship/sheep; light/night⏹Which order: bear, tear, ear⏹Same or different? [met], [mi:t]⏹Odd one out⏹CompletionProduction practiceThe goal of production practice is developing students’ ability to produce sounds.1.Listen and repeat ( practice individual sounds, individual words,groups of words, sentences (mechanical imitation)2.Fill in the blanks (in sentences with words which contain certainsounds).3.Make up sentences (using as many from the given words aspossible).e meaningful context (to perform meaningful tasks such asrole-play).e pictures (to produce meaningful language).e tongue twisters (to practice pronunciation).6.5 Practising stress and intonation☐Two types of stress:⏹word-level stress☐It is very important to stress the proper syllable in multi-syllabic words.☐The best strategy is to emphasize the importance of learning the stress as part of learning a word.⏹Phrase-level or sentence-level stress。

Eg: to give directions,to exchange information or to make a complaint. In traditional language classroom,the teaching focus is often on forms rather than functions.(2)For various reasons,traditional pedagogy tends to focus on two language skills and ignore the others. Eg:the grammar-translation methos emphasized on reading and writing skills and virtuallyignored listening speaking skills.(3)In reality language is always used in a certain context,but traditional pedagogy tends to isolated language from its context. Eg:when the English passive voice is introduced,the teacher always focuses on the explanation of how the objects in an active sentence is moved to the front of a passive sentence. And how the verb is changed to an auxiliary plus an -ed form of the base form of the verb.What is communicative competence ?(1)linguistic competence(2)Pragmatic competence(3)Discourse competence(4)Strategic competence(5)FluencyTask based language teachingTask definitionIs a piece of work undertaken for oneself or for others,freely or for some reward.Is an activity which requires learners to arrive at an outcome from given information through some process of thought,and which allows teachers to control and regulate that processFour components of a taskA purpose :make sure the students have a reason for undertaking the taskA context :this can be real simulated or imaginary and involves sociolinguistic issues such as the location the participants and their relationship,the time,and other important factors.A process;getting the students to use learning strategies such as problem solving reasoning inquiring conceptual and communicatingA product : there will be some form of outcome either visible or invisibleExercises tasksFocus form meaningSituation no situation real life situationOutcome correct form accomplishment of taskLanguage practice of assigned form choice of form and contentError immediate correction delayed correctionPrinciples for good lesson planning(1)Aims means a realistic goals for the lesson the teacher needs to have a clear idea of what he or she would like to achieve for the lesson or what outcomes are expected from the lesson Aims are not the things teachers intend to do during the lesson,but the things that students are able to do bu the end od the lesson.(2)Variety means planning a number of different types of activities.(3)Flexibility means preparing some extra and alternatives tasks and activities as the class does not always go according to the plan(4)Learnability means the contents and tasks planned for the lesson should be within the learning capabilities of the students.(5)Linkage means linked with each otherHarmer suggest the following measures for indisciplined acts and badly behaving students(1)Act immediately(2)Stop the class(3)Rearrange the seats(4)Change the activity(5)Talk to students after class(6)Create a code of behaviorDealing with errors(1)dealing with spoken errors(2)When to correct generally it is best to interrupt students during fluency work unless communication breaks down.if the students has got most of his language right but has made a trivial mistakes it is sometimes wise to let the mistakes pass if there are some common mistakes that other students might also have problems with,the teacher can take a note in his or her mind and try to do the correction after the students’ performance.(3)How to correct indirect teacher correction is encouraged to avoid damaging students’self esteem and confidence. Ask a question to invite the students to say it again with a hint of a problem. Sometimes the whole class can be invited to correct the mistakes.Characteristics of the listening process(1)spontaneity(2)Context(3)Visual clues(4)Listeners ‘s response(5)Speakers’ adjustmentA process approach to writing(1)Focus on the process of writing that leads to the final written process(2)Help students writers understand their own composing process(3)Help them built repetoires of strategies for previewing drafting and rewriting(4)Palace central importance on the process of reversion(5)Give students time to write and rewrite(6)Let the students discover what they want to say as they write(7)Give students the feedback throughout the composing process to consider as they attempt to bring their expression closer and closer to intention(8)Encourage feedback both from the instructors and peers(9)Include individual conferences between teacher and student during the process of composition。
