Deficiency view >> some teachers need teaching materials to support teachers’ deficiency
Difference view >> teachers are different & they use materials as carriers of decisions
Language teaching institution Sponsor
LearnersTeacher
Goals for oneself (personal goals)
e.g. Language teaching institution >> survive
Teacher >> develop
Sponsor >> interest & learners
Goals for others
(Have goals & impose goals on the learners)
**The role of teaching materials may be limited & cannot determine goals even they
cover learning goals.**
Input (Teachers & students)
Emergent content (unpredictable)
One course book for teaching in different countries & there are many ways to use it.
Materials (4 types of contents)
- the target language itself
- Subject-matter content
- Learning strategies
- Attitudes
Learning process Activities Activity management
>> based on a management of language learning
>> concentrate on areas of teacher expertise (like action &
review phase)
>> Problem: “Teacher overload” – teachers do so much work
& fail to present language clearly (because they may not prepare explanation for faulty and error which may happen)
>> Solution: teachers need more training to get learners to
do more
>> Problem: “Learner Underinvolvement”
(*Invovement = to participate in decision making and in the whole business of the management of language learning)
>> Solution: “learner training” – train to take much more responsibility for developing their own criteria and their language learning
HOW:
1) Think of ways of getting learners to accept this
(including basic knowledge & problems of learner training)
2) Find a course structure
- Class time
- Self-access time
- Private Consultation Time
3) Think ahead to possible follow-up activities
- Need learning materials, rather than teaching materials
>> Guide to independent language learning for learners
without teachers
- Motivation Captive Learners
Non-captive learners
