Classroom Interaction

What is different about these classroom interactions?

T: What’s your favorite movie?

S: My favorite movie is Titanic.

T: Well done! Very good.

T: What’s your favorite movie?

S: My favorite movie is Titanic.

T: Oh, I like that movie.

Which is interaction is more suitable for…

- authentic and real-life communication? - controlled practice of grammar structures?

Warm Up Questions

1. What are some good types of classroom activities that encourage speaking? (example: debate)

2. What are the best classroom arrangements to encourage speaking?

3. In Week 2 we learned about reciprocal and nonreciprocal communication. Can you remember the difference and give an example of each?

4. In Week 2 we learned about interactional and transactional communication. Can you remember the difference and give an example of each?

5. What tip would you give to a new teacher about teaching speaking? Think of one each.

Lesson planning frameworks for speaking skills

Which frameworks would be more suitable for:

Traditional Weak CLT Strong CLT/TBLT Bloom’s Tax.

Remember Understand

Analyze Apply

Lead in

Planning > Task > Report

Evaluate/Create

Focus on meaning

Focus on form

• Advanced/high-level learners • Integrating listening and speaking • Grammar focus • Scaffolding lower-level learners

• accuracy? • fluency? • inductive? • deductive?

Note: There isn’t a right or a wrong framework for lesson planning. It depends on your students’ age and goals, and the content of the lesson.

PPP is a more traditional form-focused lesson planning framework, however it can be useful in some settings and for modeling pronunciation.

1. Present the target language to be learned

2. Practice the TL with controlled activities

3. Produce the TL with a free speaking activity

PPP

1. Get Ss interest

2. Set the context

3. Ss hear the TL with a focus on meaning and a task

4. Teach/practice the vocabulary

5. Check Ss understand the vocabulary (assess their understanding

6. Expand the TL with more controlled practice

7. Expand the TL and move towards free practice (no scaffolding and support)

EIF Framework

Task-Based Language Teaching (Strong CLT)

1. Pre-task Interest, model the task, contextualize, activate

2. Task Small groups, focus on meaning and outcome

3. Planning + Report Oral or written report of results to the class

4. Analysis Feedback of task performance and report

5. Practice TL selected to review and revise

TBLT for speaking lessons

6 questions to ask in task design:

1. Does the activity engage learners’ interest?

2. Is there a primary focus on meaning?

3. Is there an outcome?

4. Is success judged in terms of outcome?

5. Is completion a priority?

6. Does the classroom activity relate to real world activities?

1. Input

A menu- prices- sections- food- ingredients- drinks

Bloom’s Taxonomy Following Bloom’s Taxonomy, we can create authentic task sequences.

2. Process

What are the sections?

Where are the main meals?

Which meals are good value?

Which meals include seafood?

Which drinks are non-alcoholic?

3. Action

Which starter do you want to order?

If you only have $15, what will you order?

Recommend a meal for your date / mother / child.

Which food items do you want to ask the waiter about?

Remember > Comprehend > Apply > Analyze > Evaluate > Create

Organizing Target Language

Example: “How old are you?” “I’m 8 years old.”

Order: 1. numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 2. statement: I’m _ years old 3. question: How old are you?

Encounter stage: • Birthday song with a teddy bear (contextualize) • ‘Puppet’ show (encounter the TL) Internalize: • Board game to practice “I’m _ years old” • Guessing game with cartoon characters. Fluency • Ss design their birthday cake • Class survey of ages

Encounter stage: • Birthday song with a teddy bear (contextualize) • ‘Puppet’ show (encounter the TL)

Internalize: • Board game to practice “I’m _ years old” • Guessing game with cartoon characters.

Note for teachers:

Notice how the pictures were recycled many times using different types of memory games, repeating activities and guessing games.

This could easily be done with flashcards. The students have been given many opportunities to internalize (memorize) the language.
