3. Reflection on Homework
Homework for Next Week
Read and answer the questions to EIF Framework and Kurzweil & Scholl’s “Chapter 4” p. 178 (Qs) pp (reading)
Reflection on Homework
Discuss in small groups or with a partner:
Describe the 5th or 6th stages in the active learning cycle. What happens in each stage?
How are thinking and learning related? Why do we want to make our Ss think? Who initiates the learning when Ss are thinking?
Why is personal involvement important How does it help Ss learning?

4. Student Learning Objectives
Think about the following questions on your own:
What is a student learning objective?
What do we mean by “observable behavior?”
Is it an aim or is it an objective; identify the following:
To teach pages 55-59
By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask and answer Qs using frequency adverbs (always, often, sometime, seldom, never) in the dialog (A: How often do you _____? B: I _____ ______.) by conducting a class survey of Ss daily routines.
Ss will come to appreciate and understand French culture

5. Student Learning Objectives
Think about the following questions on your own:
4. Why should we use an student learning objective (SLO)?
5. When should you make a SLO?
6. How do you prepare students to succeed in reaching the SLO?
7. How do you know if the SLO is too easy or too hard?

6. Realistic Objective?
To make sure it’s a fair test, I’m going to give you all the same task. All I want you to do is climb up into that tree…

7. What is the difference between the verbs in the left column and the verbs in the right column according to learning objectives?
Rank Understand
Answer Appreciate
Create Learn
List Know
Ask
Use
Give
Identify
Write
Tell
Categorize
Describe
Evaluate
Paraphrase
Retell

8. “SMART” objectives S - specific M - measurable A - achievable
R – relevant
T – time bound

9. Look at the sample objectives on the next slide and answer the following questions:
Which is the clearest?
Which best indicates the student behavior you want to see by the end of the lesson?

10. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to (SWBAT) use Spanish to introduce themselves and their peers to each other
By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate the ability to greet each other by using “Hola Mi Nombre es…..” by doing a mingle activity in which students meet and greet each other in Spanish.
By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate the ability to understand how Spanish is used to greet someone and introduce people to each other.

11. What do you think of this objective?
By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate an understanding of the rules for third person singular verb forms of regular and irregular verbs BY completing a fill-in-the blank worksheet.
Please rephrase “completing a fill-in-the-blank worksheet” into something more meaningful and authentic as well as observable and measurable. Remember the goal of a speaking lesson is to have the Ss using the language productively; therefore; the behavior you need at the end of the lesson involves using the TL.

12. Compare your ideas with these possible changes:
By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate an understanding of the rules for third person singular verb forms of regular and irregular verbs…
by producing the correct form of the third person singular for regular and irregular verbs in writing - given the infinitive forms.
by identifying incorrect forms of 3rd person singular regular and irregular verbs and providing the correct form.
by producing the correct forms in a written description of someone’s daily activities.

13. A more appropriate SLO
By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate an understanding of the rules for third person singular verb forms of regular and irregular verbs…
BY interviewing their partner about their daily routine and then sharing what they have learned with another classmate in a double interview activity

14. Creating Objectives
* 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)__.

15. An Example from Sample Lesson 1
By the end of the lesson, SWBAT
make statements about and ask basic questions using comparatives (i.e.: “X is taller than Y” and “Is X taller than Y?”) by
conducting a class survey about famous Korean people.

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

17. Practice
Make detailed objectives for the following productive skill lessons:
Vocabulary: family members (mother, uncle, etc); asking/answering Qs about family photos
Function: giving and receiving directions; drawing the route/path on a map
Grammar: simple past tense; asking answering questions about past activities

18. Vocabulary Function Grammar
By the end of the lesson SWBAT describe their family using the TL (mother, father…) by describing people in a family photo album.
Function
By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask for and give directions using the TL (A: Excuse, me can you tell me where the ____ is? B: Yes, ….. ) by doing “Find the Treasure” information gap activity.
Grammar
By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask and answer Qs using a dialog in the simple past tense e.g. (A: What did you ___? B: ____ I _____.) by doing a “Conversation Grid” interview activity.

19. Language Analysis: What you do before you write an SLO
Here is a condensed form of Scrivener’s steps (P. 206) Are there any you want to add/remove?
Select the grammar topic,
Fine-tune: What is, isn’t included, other meanings, negative form, question, typical Ss problems
Make sentences and choose one as a representative,
Decide on a situational context or text to teach the grammar form
Analyse the form, meaning and use
Write your student learning objective (SLO)

20. Let’s practice together
The grammar item is: Tag questions.
What are some typical sentences?(5-10)
What do we need to consider? E.g. Verb form, pronunciation, negative, answering
What are some common Ss errors?
Where might they have difficulty?
What situations and places is the grammar usually used in?

21. Here are some sample tag questions. Your questions will vary:
You like tag questions, don’t you?
This isn’t a problem, is it?
You didn’t kiss him, did you?
You should ask you mother about it, shouldn’t you?
You can go to the party, can’t you?
You aren’t eating the cookies, are you?
She won’t marry him, will she?
You haven’t completed your homework, have you?
This has helped, hasn’t it?
They couldn’t come, could they?

22. Additional Fine-Tuning
You like tag questions, don’t you?
This isn’t a problem, is it?
You aren’t eating the cookies, are you?
You don’t like him, do you?
She is pretty, isn’t she?
You know her phone number, don’t you?
She doesn’t play tennis, does she?
You’re happy, aren’t you?

23. Make Your Own SLO
It’s time to start thinking about your mid-term project which will be due in week 10.
You will be writing a lesson plan and selecting, adapting and supplementing materials for each stage of the lesson
The first step is to make your SLO
Choose TL and include your SLO with your weekly posting to the discussion forum

24. Make your own SLO Select the grammar topic,
Fine-tune: What is, isn’t included, other meanings, negative form, question, typical Ss problems
Make sentences and choose one as a representative,
Decide on a situational context or text to teach the grammar form
Analyse the form, meaning and use
Write your student learning objective (SLO)

25. 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)__.

26. 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 

27. 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 

28. 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

29. 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

30. 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:

32. 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

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

34. 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).

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

36. 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”

37. 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

38. 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

39. 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.
