Behaviourist theory 行为主义理论 =audio-lingual method听说教学法 A stimulus-response theory of psychology You can train an animal to do anything(within reason) if you follow a certain procedure which has three major stages, stimulus, response, and reinforcement. Cognitive theory 认知主义理论 communicate approach 交际法 Constructivist theory 结构主义理论 Learning is a process in which the learner constructs meaning based on his/her own experience and what he/she already knows. Socio-constructivist theory 社会结构主义理论 Emphasises interacion and engagement with the target language in a social context A good language teacher Ethic devotion,professional qualities and personal styles 品德节操,职业素质和个性特征 Learning, practice, and reflection Unit 2 Communicative Principles and Activities CLT=Communicative Language Teaching 交际语言教学法 TBLT=Task-based Language Teaching 任务型教学法 PPP=the Presentation, Practice and Production呈现,操练,展出 Communicative competence Entails knowing not only the language code or the form of language, but also what to say to whom and how to say it appropriately in any given situation Five main components of communicative competence Linguistic competence 语言能力 Pragmatic competence 语用能力 Discourse competence语篇能力 Strategic competence策略能力 Fluency 语言顺畅 CLT Goal : 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. Principles : Communicative principle Task principle Meaningfulness principle Main features: (1)Functional communicative activities: 功能互动活动 Identifying pictures Discovering identical pairs Discovering sequences or locations Discovering missing information Discovering missing features Discovering "secrets" Communicating patterns and pictures Communicative models Discovering differences Following directions Reconstructing story-sequences Pooling information to solve a problem (2)Social interaction activities: 社会交往活动 Role-playing through cued dialogues Role-playing through cues and information Role-playing through situation and goals Role-playing through debate or discussion Large-scale simulation activities 模仿 Improvisation 即兴创作 Notes: No specific activities almost about listening and speaking Six criteria for evaluating how communicative classroom activities are: Communicative purpose: information gap Communicative desire: real need Content, not form: message Variety of language No teacher intervention 干涉 No materials control TBLT Definition: Refers to an approach based on the use of task as the core unit of instruction in language TBLT:pre-task, task cycle, language focus Definition of a task: A task is a piece of work undertaken for oneself or for others, freely or for some reward. Four components of a task: A purpose: focus on content,not form A context: information gap A process:problem solving reasoning , inquiring, conceptualising and communicating A product: no communicational results Exercises, exercise-tasks and tasks: Focus on individual language items purposeful&contextualised communication Exercise exercise-task task How to design tasks: Think about students needs, interests, and abilities Brainstorm possible tasks Evaluate the list Choose the language items Preparing materials PPP model At the presentation stage: The teacher introduces new vocabulary and grammatical structures in whatever ways appropriate At the the practice stage: The lesson moves from controlled practice to guided practice and exploitation of the texts when necessary At the production stage: The students are encouraged to use what they have learned and practised to perform communication tasks. Notes: Grammar-Translation Method: 语法翻译法 reading and writing The Audio-Lingual Method: 听说教学法 speaking and listening; dialogues and drills 对话和操练 Unit 3 the National English Curriculum 课程标准 It was in the 1993 syllables that the word communication was used in the objectives of teaching for the first time. The Six Design principles for the National English Curriculum for Nine-year Compulsory Education: 1.Aim for educating all students, and emphasise quality-oriented education面向全体学生,注重素质教育 2.Promote learner-centredness, and respect individual differences突出学生主体,尊重个体差异 3.Develop competence-based objectives, and allow flexibility and adaptability整体设计目标,体现灵活开放 4.Pay close attention to the learning pro-cess, and advocate experiential learning and participation强调学习过程,倡导体验参与 5.Attach particular importance to formative assessment, and give special attention to the development of competence注重过程评价,强调能力发展 6.Optimize learning resources, and maximise opportunities for learning and using the language开发课程资源,拓展学用渠道 Framework of objectives in the new National English Curriculum: 课程总目标 Overall language ability: Learning学习策略 Affect情感态度 Cultural文化意识 Language语言知识 Language skills语言技能 能力目标 语言目标 情感目标 Learning : Cognitive; Self management; Communication; Resourcing Affect: International; Perspective; Patriotism; Confidence; Motivation Cultural: Knowledge; understanding; Awareness Language: Phonetics; Grammar; Vocabulary; Functions; Topics Language skills: Listening; Speaking; Reading; Writing The design of the new National English Curriculum Level 1: Grade 3-4 Level 2: Grade 5-6; basic requirements for 6th graders Graduate from primary school Level 3: Grade 7/ Junior 1 Level 4: Grade 8/ Junior 2 Level 5: Grade 9/ Junior 3 Graduate from junior high school Above is during Compulsory Education Level 6&Level 7: required of every senior high school students 2 tracks of elective course: Track 1: level 8& level 9 Track 2: from the beginning of senior 1 Elective courses: Specialized skill courses; ESP courses应用类; Cultural and literary studies courses 欣赏类etc. Unit 4 Lesson Planning A lesson plan:教案 A framework of a lesson in which teachers make advance decision about what they hope to achieve and how they would like to achieve. Benefits from lesson planning: 1) A clear lesson plan makes the teacher aware of the aims and language contents of the lesson. 2) It also helps the teacher to distinguish the various stages of a lesson and to see the relationship between them so that the lesson can move smoothly from one stage to another. 3) The teacher can also think about how the students can be fully engaged in the lesson. 4) when planning the lesson, the teacher also becomes aware of the teaching aids that are needed. 5). Lesson planning helps teachers to think about the relative value of different activities and how much time should be spent on them. 6) The teacher soon learn to judge lesson stages and phases with greater accuracy. 7) Plans are also an aid to continuing improvement. 8) After the lesson, the teacher can add an evaluation to the plan, identifying those parts which went well and those which were less successful. Principles for good lesson planning: Aim; Variety; Flexibility; Learnability; Linkage 目标性;多样性;灵活性;可学性;连接性 Two levels of lesson planning: macro planning and micro planning 宏观备课和微观备课 Macro planning: planning over a longer period of time Micro planning: planning for a specific unit or a lesson There is no clear cut between these two types of planning. Micro planing should be based on macro planning, and macro planing is apt to be modified as lesson go on. Macro planning involves the following: Knowing about the profession Knowing about the institution Knowing about the learners Knowing about the curriculum/ syllabus教学大纲 Knowing about the textbook Knowing about the objectives Components of a lesson plan: 1.Background information背景资料 2.Teaching aims: 教学目标 Language objectives; Ability objectives; Moral objectives 3.Language contents and skills语言的内容和技巧 Stages and procedures:Greetings; A warm-up; PPP model/ TBLT model; Summary; Homework/ Assignment 4.Teaching aids 教学手段 5.End of lesson summary 总结 6.Optional activities and assignments 7.After lesson reflection: Feelings about the lesson; students performances; unexpected incidents; surprise things Unit 5 Classroom Management The role of the teacher: Before the class: Planner During the class: 1 Controller, 2 Assessor评估者, 3 Organizer ,4 Prompter敦促者 , 5 Participant参与者, 6 Resource-provider After the class: Evaluator Teacher s new roles: Facilitators促进者; guides; researchers The most common students groupings: Whole class work Pair work Group work Individual study Harmer s suggestions on 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 Ss after class 6)Use the institution制度 In order not to hurt the Students, Ur s advice on problems in class: 1)Deal with it quietly 2)Don t take things personally 对事不对人 3)Do not use threats Unit 6 Teaching Pronunciation The goals of teaching pronunciation:目的 Consistency连贯性: To be smooth natural Intelligibility可理解性:To be understandable to the listeners Communicative efficiency交际效率性: To help convey the speakers meaning Ways of practicing sounds and their definitions: 1.Focusing on a sound 单音练习:(sounds difficult to learn) 2.Perception practice 知觉/领会性练习:( identify /distinguish different sounds): Which order; Same or different; Odd one out; Completion 3.Production practice 生成性练习: (develop Students ability to produce sounds): Listen and repeat; Fill in the blanks; Make up sentences; Use meaningful context; Use pictures; Use tongue twisters Three ways to show the stress of words, phrases and sentences: Use gestures Use the voice Use the blackboard Two ways to make intonation: rising/falling arrows; draw lines Unit 7 Teaching Grammar Three ways of grammar presentation: 演示法 Deductive method 演绎法 It relies on reasoning, analysing and comparing Inductive method 归纳法 The teacher provides learners with authentic language data and induces the learners to realise grammar rules without any form of explicit explanation. Guided discovery method 引导发现法 It is similar to the inductive method but different in that the process of the discovery is carefully guided and assisted by the teacher and the rules are then elicited and taught explicitly. Ur s six factors contribute to successful grammar practice: 1) Pre-learning. 2) Volume and repetition(容量/重复). 3) Success-orientation成功性联系. 4) Heterogeneity多样性. 5) Teacher assistance. 6) Interest. Two categories 类别of grammar practice: Mechanical practice 机械性练习 It involves activities that are aimed at form accuracy. In Substitution drills 替换练习 In Transformation drills 转移变形练习 Meaningful/ communicative practice 有意义/ 交际性练习 It focuses 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. Using prompts for meaningful practice 提示 1) Using picture prompts. 2) Using mime 哑剧or gestures as prompts. 3) Using information sheet 信息表as prompts. 4) Using key phrases or key words关键短语/ 单词 as prompts. 5) Using chained phrases for story telling. 6) Using created situations. Unit 8 Teaching Vocabulary Knowing a word involves what: Pronunciation and stress Spelling and grammatical properties Meaning How and when to use it to express the intended meaning Denotative meaning 指示意义 Connotative meaning 内涵意义 Collocations 搭配 Synonyms, antonyms, hyponyms 近义词,反义词,下位词 Receptive and productive vocabulary接受性和产出性词汇 Ways of presenting vocabulary: 呈现词汇的方法 1.Try to provide a visual or physical demonstration whenever possible, using pictures, photos, video clips, mime or gestures to show meaning. 2.Provide a verbal context to demonstrate meaning. Then ask students to tell the meaning first before it is offered by the teacher. 3.Use synonyms or antonyms to explain meanings 4.Use lexical sets or hyponyms to show relations of words and their meanings 5.Translate and exemplify, especially with technical words or words with abstract meaning 6.Use word formation rules and common affixes to build new lexical knowledge what is already known 7.Teach vocabulary in chunks. 8.Think about the context in real life where the word might be used. 9.Think about providing different context for introducing new words 10.Prepare for possible misunderstanding or confusion that students may have Ways of consolidating vocabulary 巩固词汇的方法 1) Labeling标注词汇 2) Spot the differences 3) Describe and draw 4) Play a game 5)using the Internet resources for more ideas 6) Use word series 单词系列 7) Word bingo 9) word association 自此联想 10) find synonyms and antonyms 11) categories 12) Using word net-work 网状图 Developing vocabulary learning strategies: 1) Review regularly 2) Guess meaning from context 3) Organize vocabulary effectively 4) Use learned vocabulary Unit 9 Teaching Listening The characteristics of listening in real life (adapted from Ur, 1996:106-7): 1) Spontaneity 自发性 2) Context 环境 3) Visual clues 视觉线索 4) Listener s response 回应 5) Speaker s adjustment调节 Principles and models for teaching listening: 1)Focus on process 2) Combine listening and speaking 3) Focus on comprehending meaning 4) Grade difficulty level appropriately Three teaching stages 1.Pre-listening activities: 听前活动 1) Predicting 预测 2) Setting the scene设置现场 3) Listening for the gist 听力要点 4) Listening for specific information 细节理解 2.While-listening activities 1) No specific responses 2) Listen and tick 标记 3) Listen and sequence 顺序 4) Listen and act 5) Listen and draw 6) Listen and fill填写 7) Listen and take notes 3.Post-listening activities听后活动 1) Multiple-choice questions 多项选择 2) Answering questions 3) Note-taking and gap-filling填空 Dictogloss (1) Preparation (2) Dictation 听写 (3) Reconstruction. (4) Analysis and correction.
