Classroom instructionsClassroom instructions refers to the types of language teachers use to organize or guide learning.They include giving directions to tasks or activities, providing explanations to a concept of language structure, setting requirements, checking comprehension, drawing attention, motivating learners, giving feedback, and assigning homework, etc.There are rules to follow for making instructions effective:1) to use simple instructions and make them suit the comprehension level ofthe students.2) To use the mother tongue only when it is necessary.3) Teachers to be careful not to do all the talking in class.3.Bloom’s taxonomy classifies the question types into six.What are the six question types?What is the significance if each of them is used in a language classroom?The six question types proposed by Bloom are:translating, interpreting, and stating the main ideas.different contextsupport main ideas.solutions, creative thinking.about information or ideas based on a set of criteria.4. Classification of question types:(常出选择及判断题)Closed questions refer to those with only one single correct answer.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 answers,too. Genuine questions are questions which are used to find out new information and since they often reflect real contexts, they are therefore more communicative.Lower-ordered questions refers to those that simplely require recalling of information or memorization of facts.Higher-ordered questions require more reasoning, analysis, and evaluation.5. Differences between errors and mistakes.A mistake refers to a performance error that is either a random guess or a ‘slip of tongue’, it is a failure performance to a known system. A mistake has nothing to do with the language competence, but a result from temporary breakdown. When a mistake is challenged or given enough attention, it could be self-corrected.An error has direct relation with the learners’ language competence. Errors do not result from carelessness nor hesitation, but lack of knowledge in the target language. Language errors cannot be self-corrected no matter how much attention is given.6. Discipline refers to a code of conduct which binds a teacher and a group of students together so that learning can be more effectiveFactors that affect discipline：1. teacher’s behaviora . choice of methodologyb. teacher’s preparation for the learnersc. interpersonal relationship with the learners2. motivation/ purpose/ desire/ surroundingUnit6Part1Read the following statements or questions and choose the best answe r for each statement or question.1.Which of the following is true about pronunciation teaching?DA.Learners whose native language has similar sounds are less likely to have problems with pronunciation.B.Learners who have more exposure to English need less focus on pronunci ation.C.Beginning Chinese learners of English need a certain degree of focus on pr onunciation.D.All of the above2.What is the realistic goal of teaching pronunciation?DA.ConsistencyB.Intellegibilitymunicative efficiencyD.All of the above3.Which of the following do not belong to minimal pair?DA.Will wellB.Till tellC.Fill fellD.Well well4.Which of the following belong to pronunciation perception practice?Ding minimal pairs,odd one outB.Which order,completionC.Same or differentD.All of the above5.Which type does the following production practice belong to?AThe students repeat what the teacher says.This activity can practice individua l sounds,individual words,groups of words,and sentences.A.Listen and repeatB.Fill in the blanksC.Make up sentencesing m eaningful context6.Which type does the following production practice belong to?DShe sells sea shells on the seashore.A.Make up sentencesing meaningful contexting picturesing tongue twisters7.What are the ways of practicing stress?De gesturese the voicee the blackboardD.All of the above8.What does the falling intonation on the statement“he is moved to Glasgow.”indicate?AA.I am telling you something you do not knowB.I have not finished yetC.I am asking a genuine questionD.I know you have told me before9.What does the falling intonation on the question“where do you live?”indicate?CA.I am telling you something you do not knowB.I have not finished yetC.I am asking a genuine questionD.I know you have tole me before10.What is reflected as important in the following example?BA.Would you please turn down the radio a little bit?B.Sorry.↘（no,I do not want to.）Or B.Sorry?↘（what did you say?）A.Stress B.IntonationC.SoundsD.Pitch PartPart 2.Answer the following questions1.Why cannot most learners of English as a foreign language acquire na tive like English pronunciation?A Critical Period Hypothesis states that if humans do not learn a foreign language before a certain age (perhaps around puberty), then due to changes such as maturation of the brain, it becomes impossible to learn the foreign language like a native speaker.Unit7Part1Read the following statements or questions and choose the best answe r for each statement or question.1.Which of the following statement is not true?DA.Grammatical competence is essential for communicationB.There is a positive role of instruction for grammar learningC.Grammar teaching can enhance learner proficiencyD.Grammar learning is completely useless for children.2.Which of the following is not grammar presentation method?

The guided discovery method:Students are induced to discover rules by themselves but the process of discovery is carefully guided and assisted by the teacher. And the rules are then elicited and taught explicitly.2. 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.3. Ellis suggests the following procedures for teaching grammar usinglistening as a input:1) Listen to comprehend: the focus is on the message with target structuresimbedded.2) Listening to notice: listen to more times to identify the target structureperhaps by completing a gapped version of the text to raise awareness. 3) Understanding the grammar point: the focus is on helping learnersdevelop explicit knowledge of the grammar point by discovering and analyzing the rules.4) Checking: learners are given a written text containing errors and are askedto identify t-[1x0=8再撒：哦我而是撒赖破五；2…he errors and correct them.5) Trying it out: finally, there is an opportunity for students to try out theirunderstanding of the target structure in a short production activity.4. Synthesis approach['sɪnθəsɪs]综合方法Pennington(2002)proposes a synthesis approach to grammar pedagogy. Grammar teaching should be“collocational,constructive,contextual and contr astive”,which can serve as useful guidelines for teaching grammar.Unit8Part1Read the following statements or questions and choose the best answe r for each statement or question.1.Which of the following statement is not true about vocabulary?CA.a vocabulary item can be more than one wordB.Vocabulary can not be taught.It must be learned by the individuals.C.Words is best learned in contextD.An English-English dictionary is an important aid for students.2.What does it mean to know a word?DA.know its pronunciation and stressB.know its spelling and grammatical propertiesC.know its meaning and know when and how to use it。
