Homework for Next Week Work on you mid-term project. Reflection on Homework Discuss in small groups or with a partner: 1) How can working with a textbook help a teacher? How can working with a textbook help the learners? How can working with a textbook hinder teaching and learning? 2) The chapters don’t discuss this directly, but what do you think is meant by the terms: Select, Adapt, Reject and Supplement when working with and without textbooks? 3) How can the teacher involve children in the planning? Why is involving your students in the planning a good idea? How does it help Ss learning?

Make your own SLO * Remember the key is to think about the language needed to complete a communicative task that students will demonstrate by the end of the lesson; this task should be based on what the students have learned from all the activities they participated in during the lesson. It might be helpful to use the following “formula”: By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate (TL – functons & notions – knowledge, & skills) by (doing something = the assessment activity)__.

SLO Formula By the end of the lesson, SWBAT ___________________________ by _________________________________________.

Backwards Planning Ask yourself these questions: What do my Ss need to be able to do in order to do _____? What activity will help prepare my Ss to _____?

Your First Lesson Plan Draw an triangle on a piece of paper. What steps are there to teach someone to ride a bike? List the steps on your paper. Put the first step at the top of the triangle and the last step at the bottom First  Last 

Your First Lesson Plan Read through your lesson plan and label the stages E-I-F. Look at your last step: Did you give your learner a clear task to let them demonstrate their SLO? Write an SLO of this lesson plan using the formula you learned in this lesson. Did you miss any steps? Add them in. First  Last 

Free By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate their ability to ride a bike alone BY riding the bike to the store to buy two ice cream cones. Encounter: Introduce learner to bike assess prior knowledge asks learner about parts of bike introduce key concepts and vocabulary model the task/skills for learner Internalize: controlled practice – trainer holds bike while leaner rides less controlled practice – trainer removes support gradually so learner can internalize Fluency: learner rides bike with out support from trainer learner is given a task that demonstrates his/her ability such as: Ride the bike to the store and buy two ice cream cones. 1. Controlled Free

Scaffolding SLA Definition: Materials Development Definition scaffolding explains how learning occurs as a result of “support coming from a more knowledgeable other that leads the learner to internalize what is being learned.” (Ko, Schallert and Walters (2003). Materials Development Definition scaffolding denotes the language support that the teacher or material developer builds into the productive skill lesson to facilitate the successful learning of the target language

EIF E = Encounter I = Internalize F = Fluency Students “encounter” the target language through an activity of some kind (rather than teacher “presenting” the target language) I = Internalize Students “internalize” the target language through practice (controlled practice activities  free practice activities) F = Fluency Students “USE” the target language on their own  they become fluent in using the target language

What do you think this triangle shape represents? EIF framework What do you think this triangle shape represents? E ____ I __________________ F

EIF breakdown of triangle shape E  time needed to encounter and clarify the target language/skill. I  Timed needed to work on accurately remembering and internalizing the target language/skill. F  Time needed to work on fluently using the target language/skill (mastery).

Sometimes the shape of this framework can look similar to a Christmas tree rather than a triangle. Why do you think this is so?

Why do you think this is so? Imagine teaching “greetings” to your students. Would you teach them the whole dialogue at once? Why? E (encounter) I (internalize) E I F We call this “Language chunking”

Typical ENCOUNTER activities brainstorming describing a picture or pictures using the people and things in the classroom learning a dialogue (choral repetition and group drilling) watch and follow a model elicitation from students of vocabulary they already know word map story telling with guiding Qs to elicit concepts, term or vocabulary reading/listening to sentences reading/listening to a passage puzzle/games that check Ss prior knowledge

Typical INTERNALIZE and FLUENCY activities pair conversations & conversation grids games information gaps interviews/surveys mixers (“cocktail party”) such as “Find Someone who…” dialogues and personalized substitution drills (less controlled internalize practice activity only) role plays (usually only for fluency) discussions & debates

Is there a difference between dialogues and role-plays? Dialogue = the script is provided and students read it. (*Substitution of language points in the dialogue is also common “dialogue” activity). Role-play = the script is not provided. Students use the language they have learned on their own in a situation provided by the teacher.
