Directions: Below are five situations in the classroom. Each has a problem. First, identify the problem. Second, provide your solution according to the communicative language teaching principles. You should elaborate on the problem(s) and solution(s) properly. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.
16. In a writing class, the teacher asks the students to write an article about their hometown. To help the students, the teacher also provides a well-written article about hometown by a famous writer as a sample. Students are instructed to follow the style and the organization of ideas of the sample article.
17. In a grammar class, the teacher teaches the use of “some” and “any” in the following way:
A. Explains the rules of their usage.
B. Provides some examples to illustrate the usage of the two words.
C. Ask the students to do pattern dills.
D. Ask the students to apply the rules to given situations.
18. When teaching a new reading passage, the teacher writes all the new words on the blackboard and asks the students to look them in dictionaries. Then the teacher explains the meaning of these new words in simple English, usually by providing some examples of their usage. Sometimes, the teacher may provide the Chinese versions for these words. After dealing with the vocabulary, the teacher will then shift their focus to the reading passage.
19. When preparing a lesson, some teachers just rely on the teacher’s book. Before teaching a lesson, they will just look up the new words in the dictionary and copy paraphrases from the teacher’s book onto the student’s book. In class, they will just follow the instructions provided by the teacher’s book.
20. This is a traditional classroom. The student’s desks are arranged neatly in rows and columns, while the teacher’s desk is placed in the front the classroom on a platform. The teacher comes into the classroom. All students stand up to greet the teacher and the teacher greets back. Then the teacher starts to talk and the students start to take notes. From time to time, the teacher will ask some questions to the whole class, and those students who know the
answers will respond. At other time, the teacher will point at an individual student and asks a question. The teacher also asks the students to do some readings or exercises quietly in class. As the students finish their job, the teacher collects their work and tells them that they will get feedback over the next week.
Section III: Mini-lesson Plan

Text 1
You can go to the airport either by coach or by taxi. If you go by coach, it takes at least half an hour. By taxi, on the other hand, it takes only ten minutes. For that reason, I suggest the second possibility.
Text 2
There are two ways of getting to the sports ground, either by tube or by bus. By tube it only takes ten minutes, while if you go by bus, on the other hand, it may take you over twenty minutes. My advice to you then, it to go by tube.

Section II: Problem Solving (30 points)
16. Problem: The teacher’s instruction to the students is too general and it may leave the students with too much room to choose from. There is no help provided for the students to develop a sense of purpose and a sense of
audience. Without a sense of purpose and audience, the students may either feel confused by all possible things that could be included in the writing, or just follow the contents covered in the sample article.
Solution: The teacher could first narrow down the topic by providing a situation for the students, such as writing a tour guide for their hometown. Then, help the students to work out possible contents that could be included in the writing, such as location, population, resources for tourism, places of interests, etc. The teacher could also help the students to decide the writing style based on their writing purpose and targeted audience.
17. Problem: The teacher teaches grammar in a deductive way. This approach is usually mechanical and dull. The students learn the rules passively with little involvement in the process of working them out. Since rules are sometimes too restrictive, there are lots of exceptions that may confuse the students. This method is usually more concerned with form than use. If students meet the new structure in isolated sentences, they may not get a feel for when and how to use the structure. They are very likely to go on using in incorrectly.
Solution: Bring in the inductive grammar teaching approach. By combining the two ways of teaching grammar together, the teacher can achieve a much better result than using either way exclusively. The teacher could first give the students a context and ask them to work out the rules. After collecting the students’ suggestions, the teacher could then tell them the existing rules and explain exceptions to the rules. This way, the students will be actively involved in the thinking process and may understand the rules better. They will also be aware of the fact that grammar rules are worked out by people observing the use of language, so they may change as people’s use of language may change.
18. Problem: The students taught in this way are mainly receiving passive knowledge from the teacher. They merely learn to understand these vocabularies, rather than how to use them. The new words are not taught from a context, and there is no practice of using them in an authentic or a near authentic situation. This students will not learn these new words in an efficient way.
Solution: The students need to learn passive knowledge and active knowledge at the same time. The teacher could use various means to help the students to understand the vocabulary. For some, they can use illustrations, for some, they can use definitions, and for others, they can guess from the context. The teacher could also use different ways to help the students to use the new words. Exercises like information gap, crosswords, quiz, or recording new words all can help the students to learn vocabulary in a more efficient way.
19. Problem: Though the teacher’s book may provide very good references and guidance for the teacher, it is not enough. The textbooks we are using usually are not written just for our students. For different students, they have different needs. We need to adapt the textbook to meet the need of our students. Other factors like the physical conditions, our syllabus and system of testing may also affect our planning for a lesson. If we failed to consider all the factors that may affect our teaching, we will not achieve a good result in our teaching.
Solution: A lesson plan is very important in the success of teaching. For whatever lesson we are going to teach, we need to have a good lesson plan. First, we need to define the objectives of the lesson plan. That is what we hope to achieve. Then, we need to decide the classroom aids required, such as blackboard, white board, overhead projector, audio-visual facilities, etc. Next, we need to plan the procedure of the lesson, like what will be done, when, by whom, etc. We also need to have a contingency plan in case something unexpected may disrupt the plan. Last, we need to have a checklist to assess our implementation of the plan to see if everything is as planned and what need to be improved.
20. Problem: This class has no classroom management at all. The teacher plays a simple role as an instructor and controls every activity of the students. Desks are arranged in a teacher centered way. There is very little students’involvement in the teaching process, and no pair work or group work at all. And we see no effort of using the teaching tools to facilitate the teaching environment. There seems no natural communication between the teacher and the students.
Solution: The purpose of classroom management is to create a positive learning environment in which the students will show a willingness to achieve the targets we have set. A good environment needs people’s effort as well as good physical environment. A teacher should play the role of a helper rather than a controller. The desks in the classroom should be arranged to show learner-conteredness. The teacher should communicate with the students in a polite way and show great care and encouragement towards the students. The teacher may also adapt the textbook and use audio-visual aids to make the lesson lively and interesting.

2) Draw a series of steps on the blackboard. Write “cool” on a middle step. Ask the students to work in groups to decide words on the other steps that are colder or warmer than the word “cool”.
3) Invite 7 students to pick up a word each. Then instruct them to line up according the degree of temperature of the words they are holding. The teacher may invite several groups of students to do so or may shift order from left or right to from right to left. The teacher should give the correct order in the end.
4) Ask the students to work in pairs to practice use of these words. One may produce a cardboard, and the other try to make a sentence using this word. Then the two shift turns until they finish practicing all the words.
