Learning Language for Language Teaching a.a – 2016 Semester 2 Lesson 1 10/03/16

From Julian Treasure’s talk… …we need to teach listening in our schools as a skill. … if we can teach listening in our schools, we can move … to a place where everybody is consciously listening all of the time – or at least are capable of doing it. … I invite you to connect with me, connect with each other, take this mission out and let’s get listening taught in schools, and transform the world in one generation to a conscious listening world – a world of connection, a world of understanding and a world of peace.

Text 2 For the past thirty years or more, reading aloud (RA) seems to have been discouraged in communicative teaching methodology, which tended to react against perceived traditional methods, including RA. RA was not seen to be genuinely personally communicative and, combined with its often inappropriate use, this may have led to its virtual rejection by this methodology—good points and bad points alike. Yet in many other types of second language classrooms around the world it is part of traditional language learning methodologies and its use is still widespread.
