An overview of the bookphysical context in which language learning takes place, such as the number of students, the kind of input learners receive, andthe atmosphere. Some researchers attempt to formulate teaching approaches directly from these theories. For example, the Natural Approach, T otal Physical Response, and the Silent Way are based on one or more dimensions of processes and conditions.Some researchers attempt to formulate teaching approaches directly from these theories.1.The behaviorist theory( Skinner)a stimulus-response theory of psychologyProposed by behavioral psychologist Skinner. He suggested that language is also a form of behavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli. This theory of learning is referred to as behaviorism.The key point of the theory of conditioning is that “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，，One influential result is the audio-lingual method, which involves endless ‘listen and repeat’ drilling activities. The idea of this method is that language is learned by constant repetition and the reinforcement of the teacher. Mistakes were immediately corrected, and correct utterances were immediately praised. This method is still used in many parts of the world today.2.Cognitive theory( Noam Chomsky):The term cognitive is to describe loosely methods in which students are asked to think rather than simply repeat.A language learner acquires language competence which enables him to produce language.Though Chomsky’s theor y is not directly applied in language teaching, it has had a great impact on the profession.One influential idea is that students should be allowed to create their own sentences based on their understanding of certain rules. This idea is clearly in opposition to the audio-lingual method.3.Constructivist theoryThe constructivist theory believes that learning is a process in which the learner constructs meaning based on his / her own experiences and what he / she already knows.It is believed that education is used to develop the mind, not just to rote recall what is learned.John Dewey believed that teaching should be built based on what learners already knew and engage learners in learning activities. Teachers need to design environments and interact with learners to foster inventive, creative, critical learners.4.Socio-constructivist theorySimilar to constructivist theory, socio-constructivist theory represented by Vygotsky (1978) emphasises interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context based on the concept of ‘Zone of Proximal Development，(ZPD) and scaffolding. In other words, learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the teacher and the learner and between learners.质和实体语境，如学生的数量、氛围等。

教学法笔记精校版HowtoTeachEnglishHow to Teach English笔记整理Unit One How to be a good teacherWhat makes a good teacher?How should teachers talk to students?How should teachers give instructions?Who should talk in class?What are the best kinds of lesson?How important is it to follow a pre-arranged plan?What makes a good teacher?Focus on moral education;Teachers’ character and personality;Care more about their students’ learning than their own teaching.How to be a good teacherHow should teachers talk to students?Rough-tuning:Unconscious simplification which both parents and teachers make;The modification of language that is suitable to students of different levelPhysical movement:Gestures, expressions, mimeHow should teachers give instructions?Rules: simple & logicalCheck:ask one to repeat your instructionask someone to translation your instruction into the students’native languageWho should talk in class?Maximise STT (Student Talking Time)Minimise TTT (T eacher Talking Time)Who should talk in class?What is good TTT?Good TTT must follow the rule of “comprehensive input”The Input hypothesis is Stephen Krashen's attempt to explain how the learner acquires a second language. In other words, this hypothesis is Krashen's explanation of how second language acquisition takes place. So, the Input hypothesis is only concerned with 'acquisition', not 'learning'.According to this hypothesis, the learner improves and progresses along the 'natural order' when he/she receives second language 'input' that is one step beyond his/her current stage of linguistic competence.For example, if a learner is at a stage 'i', then acquisition takes place when he/she is exposed to 'Comprehensible Input' that belongs to level 'i + 1'.What are the best kinds of lesson?Try your best to break boredom:Change your clothes;Bahaving calmly and slowly one day if you are normally noisy and energitec;Variety of your class:Keep balance between predictable safety and unexpected variety.How important is it to follow a pre-arranged plan?A balance has to be struck between teachers attempting to achieve what they set out to achieve on the one hand andresponding to what students are saying or doing on the other.Be flexible if your plan is interrupted by students.How important is the students’ motivation?What is motivation?Motivation refers to elements that push students to do learning activities.According to the source of motivation, it can be divided into intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.Gardener and Lamber classified motivation of foreign language acquisition into instrumental motivation(工具型动机) and integrative motivation(融入型动机) from the perspective of social linguistics.Learners with instrumental motivation aim to reach their goal and treat the language just as one kind of tool, such as finding a good job and so on.Learners with integrative motivation desire to mix with the culture of the second/ foreign language and always show deep interest in the culture and people influenced by this language.How important is the students’ motivation?Conclusions of Gardner and Lamber’s theory:Highly motivated students do better than ones without any motivation at all.Integrative motivation was more powerful than Instrumental motivation.How important is the students’ motivation?How to provoke students’ interest and involvement in the class?Choice of topic, activity and linguistic content that students are interested in;Incentive mechanism: verbal commendation, honor, materialreward, examinationHow to help students?Homework;Reading assignment;Practical activitiesWho is responsible for learning?Unit Four Lesson Planning4.4.1 Teaching aimsThe first thing to do in lesson planning is to decide the aims of a lesson, which include what language components to present, what communicative skills to practise, what activities to conduct and what materials and teaching aids to be used.Questions:What do you think are the aims of this part of the lesson?Three different teachers are about to teach the lesson. Below are their introductions to the lesson. Which teacher has the clearest idea of the aims of the lesson?Teacher A: T oday we are going to learn Lesson 15. It’s question and answ er practice using a substitution table.Teacher B: Today we are going to practise present simple questions with “when…” and other time expressions.Teacher C: Today we are going to practise asking and answering questions using the present simple tense, so that we will learn how to talk about everyday activities.Unit 6 Teaching Pronunciation1. The role of pronunciation in language learning.2. The goal of teaching pronunciation.3.The aspects of pronunciation we need to teach.4. The ways to help student to improve pronunciation.6.1 The role of pronunciationWhy do learners make pronunciation errors?A particular sound may not exist in the mother tongue, so that the learners are not used to forming it and therefore tends to substitute the nearest equivalent he or she knows.A sound does exist in the mother tongue, but not as a separate phoneme---the learner does not perceive it as a distinct sound that makes a difference to meaning.(sheep/ship) The learners have the actual sounds right, but have not learnt the stress patterns of the word or group of words, or they are using an intonation from their mother tongue which is inappropriate to the target language.What should be taught to the beginners, pronunciation or phonetic?Pronunciation is more important than phonetic. Stress and intonation are as important as the sounds themselves and should be taught from the very beginning.Whether pronunciation needs special attention or focus in language teaching depends on manyLearners whose native language has similar sounds to English are less likely to have problems with pronunciation.Learners who have more exposure to English need less focus on pronunciation.Adult learners need more focus on pronunciation because they are more likely to substitute English sounds with sounds from their native language.Beginning Chinese learners of English should focus on pronunciation and their ability to identify and produce English sounds themselves, because phonetic transcripts are more abstract and less meaningful. When should we teach phonetic?Phonetic rules regarding what sounds a letter or a cluster ofletters should be pronounced are helpful for students to develop the ability to cope with English pronunciation and they should be introduced at a suitable stage. Beginners of English, specially young learners, should be avoided to teach phonetic.Stress and intonation are as important as the sounds themselves and should be taught from the very beginning.In the example below, differe nt intonations for “Sorry” indicate different meanings. A neutral tone would6.2 The goal of teaching pronunciation1. What’s considered as a good pronunciation?A good pronunciation means:1) to pronounce correctly all the speech sounds of the language and all the combinations in their proper order not only isolated words, but also in sentences;2) to pronounce sentences fluently at the speed required by the situation with correct stresses, linking of sounds, rhythm, pauses and intonation.As a matter of fact, most Chinese learners of English do not have enough exposure to English to acquire native-like pronunciation.2. Why most learners of English as a foreign language cannot acquire native-like English pronunciation?Critical period hypothesisThe amount of exposure to EnglishIndividual ability.Critical Period HypothesisAccording to Chomsky’s theory, if humans do not learn a foreign language before a certain age, then due to changes such as maturation of the brain and speech organs, it becomes impossible to learn the foreign language like a native speaker.The amount of exposure to EnglishIt is another factor that determines if the students can acquire native-like English pronunciation. At the present time, most Chinese learners of English do not have enough exposure to English to acquire native-like pronunciation.6.3 Aspects of Pronunciation1. Single Stress i.e. important , complain, medicine2. Main stress and secondary stress i.e. interpretation3. Double stress i.e. thir teen, Chi nese4. Varieties of English i.e. advertisement (Br. E) advertisement(Am. E)5. Stress shifts i.e. import (n.), import (v.) record (n.), record (v.)6. Stress for emphasis i.e. I’m a teacher because I like people.7. Sentence stress: content words vs. structural wordsIntonation1. Falling intonation(statements, special questions, exclamation, commands)2. Rising intonation(general questions, requests, remarks of concern andapology, partings)3. Combined intonation(tag questions, compound sentences)Read the following sentences:You haven’t finished, / have you?Where there is a will, / there is a way.She can speak fairly well,/ but by no means perfect.6.4 Practising soundsPerception practiceUsing minimal pairsWhich order?Same or different?Odd man outCompletionProduction practiceListen and repeatFill in the blanksMake up sentencesUse meaningful contextUse picturesUse tongue twistersPerception practicePerception practice is aimed at developing the students’ ability to identify and distinguish betw een different sounds. Correct perception of sounds is vital for listening comprehension. Below are some examples of perception practice of English sounds.Using minimal pairs.Minimal pairs are two words which have only one different sound. The teacher reads either word2. Which order?The teacher reads each group of words in different order and the students mark the words with 1, 2, 3 .The teacher can read the words several times in different order.3. Same or differentThe teacher reads pairs of words and asks the students to tell if the pairs of words are the same or different.The words should not be written out.Here is an example(D for “different” and S for “same”):met meet (D)well well (S)well will (D)4. Odd one outThe teacher reads a group of words a time and the students identify the different word or sound.The words are not written out.Below are some examples:bit bit bit pit (No.4 is different.)lid led lid lid (No. 2 is different.)bag bag back bag (No. 3 is different.)5. CompletionThe teacher reads a series of words which have only one different sound. The students complete the words they hear.Here is an example:_ate _ate _ate _ate _ate _ate _ate _ateFor the words:gate late mate fate date hate rate and KateProduction practiceProduction practice is aimed at developing students’ abi lity to produce sounds. Producing distinct and understandable sounds is very important for effective communication.Here are some types of production practice activities:Listen and repeatFill in the blanksMake up sentencesUse meaningful contextUse picturesUse tongue twistersListen and repeatThe students repeat what the teacher says, the content with taps or the English songs.This activity can practice individual sounds, words, and sentences.Fill in the blanksThe students fill in the blanks in sentences with words which contain certain sound.Here is an example:a. Children love to _play_ games.b. Black and white make _grey_d. Hurry up. Don’t be _late_for school.e. We study in the same class. We are _classmates_.Make up sentencesThe students are given a group of words containing the same sound or similar sounds.They should make up sentences as many from the given words as possible.The sentences do not have to be realistically meaningful and logical.Humourous sentences are preferred.Use meaningful contextThe sounds to focus on are embedded in a meaningful context and students perform meaning tasks. Students can role play the dialogue:A: What’s wrong with you, Ann?B: I hate this horrible job.A: What job?B: Washing socks.A: What do you want to do?B: I want a holiday.Use picturesThe students produce meaningful language based on pictures.Use tongue twistersTongue twisters are fun and motivating, and the relaxing atmosphere halps students overcome inhibition. Give students a few minutes to practice by themselves, then ask them to perform in front of the whole class.Examples of tongue twistersShe sells sea shells on the seashore.Five wives drank five bottles of fine wine.Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where is the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?6.5 Practising stress and intonationPractising stressWord-level stress: stress the proper syllable in multi- syllabic wordsPhrase-level stressThe most important thing in practicing stress is making the students be aware of where to stress the word or phrase. Below are three ways to show the stress pattern of words, phrases and sentences.Use gestures. The teacher can indicate the stress by clapping hands or using arm movements as if conducting music.Use the voice. The teacher can raise the voice to indicate stress. This can be done with some exaggeration sometimes.Use the blackboard. The teacher can highlight the stress by underlining them or writing them with colored chalks or in different size.Practicing intonationIntonation can greatly affect the invention of the speaker’s message. Intonation is used by native speakers to express meanings in many subtle ways such as surprise, complaint, sarcasm, friendliness,and is very difficult to teach.Ways to indicate change of intonation:Use rising or falling arrows, such as and .Mark change of intonation is to draw lines as shown below.Unit7 Teaching GrammarIn this unit, we are going to discuss how to teach grammar. Although grammar is usually integrated with the teaching of other language components, we still consider it necessary to introduce ways to “focus on form”. We will mainly talk about the following:1. The role of grammar in ELT2. Methods for grammar presentation3. Methods for grammar practice7.1 The role of grammar in ELTDiscussion:Why do we learn grammar? (The importance of grammar)B. Can’t we learn English without learning its grammar, as we do with mother tongue?Before trying to find out how something can be done it isnecessary to decide whether it should be done, the value of grammar in foreign language teaching has been a focusof debate for decades and no conclusion is in sight.Task 1:Read the following assumption about grammar in English learning and decide if you agree with them or not. When youhave finished, compare results with your partner. Try to give your7.2 Grammar presentation methodsAs we know grammar is so complicated that we need various methods to teach it. Among the methods for teaching grammar, the deductive method and the inductive method have been discussed and used most frequently..Deductive method (演绎法)Present the rules Explain Example Apply the rules Conclusion Examplea. 强调句句型结构It + is(was) +被强调部分+ that (who) + 句子其他成分b. Take a sentence as an example to explain the structurec. For instanceIt was your sister that (whom) Tom met in the zoo yesterday.It was in the zoo that Tom met your sister yesterday.Read the two sentences and try to find the differences between them.d. Apply in the practice____________that the trade between the two countries reached its highest point.A: During the 1960s B: That it was in the 1960sC: It was in the 1960s D: It was the 1960se. EvaluateDeductive method⑴The deductive meth od relies or reasoning, analyzing and comparing.⑵How to teach:First, the teacher writes an example on the board or draws attention to an example in the textbook. Then teacher explains the underlying rules regarding the forms and positions of certainstructural words. The explanations are often done in the student’s native language and using grammatical terms. Sometimes, comparisons are made between the native language and the target language or between the newly presented structure and previously learned structures.Finally the students practice applying the rule to produce sentences with given prompts.⑶The deductive method is often criticized:a. it teaches grammar in an isolated way;b. little attention is paid to meaning;c. the practice is often mechanical.⑷The method is not without merits.a. it could be very successful with selected and motivated students.b. it could save time when students are confronted with a grammar rule which is complex but which has to be learned.c. it may help to incre ase students’ confidence in those examinations which are written with accuracy as the main criterion of success.B. Inductive method（归纳法）1.Present the rule in the contest.2.Give more examples.3. Ask students to focus on the use of the structure.4. Apply the structure to produce sentences.5. Get the students to work out the rule.6. Elicit theInductive method⑴In the inductive method, the teacher induces the learners to realize grammar rules without any form of explicit explanation. It is believed that the rules will become evident if the studentsare given enough appropriate examples.⑵How to teach:For example, in order to present the two forms" this is” and “these are”, the teacher will first hold up a book, saying “This is a book.” He will do the sa me showing other objects.Then the teacher holds up several books and says “These are books.” After several similar examples, it is hoped students will understand “These are” is used with plural forms of nouns.Then students are invited to apply the newly learned structure to produce sentences with given visual aids or verbal prompts. The teacher tries to say nothing except to correct when necessary.Finally, but optionally, the teacher may elicit the grammar rule from the students.⑶. It is believed the in ductive method is more effective in that students discover the grammar rules themselves while engaged in language use. This is especially true with grammatical regularities which are easily perceived, understood and applied.In practice, the distinguish between the deductive method and the inductive method is not always apparent. Perhaps a blend between the two is indeed more appropriate.7.3 Grammar PracticeIt is widely believed that practice is of vital importance in the teaching and learning grammar. But what is practice? What kind of practice is most effective? How can practice be conducted in a language classroom?According to Ur. “practice may be defined as any kind of engaging with the language on the part of the learn er, usually under the teacher supervision, whose primary objective is to consolidate learning” (Ur, 1988:11).Before we make a further study of practice. We should remember that one way to teach grammar is by means of Presentation Practice ProductionPresentation stage:Introduce new language, focusing on its meaning, form and function. It’s important that the students understand the new language.Practice stage:Students work through activities from being controlled to being free in order to practice the new language in different situations. The emphasis at this stage is on accuracy.Production stage:Students have the chance to use the new language freely and incorporate it into their existing language. The emphasis at this stage is on use and fluency.Ur further predicts that the following factors contribute to successful practice:Pre-learning. Practice is more effective when new language is clearly perceived and taken into short-term memory by the learners.Volume and repetition. The more language the learners are exposed to or produce, the more they are likely to learn. The learners should have plenty of time and opportunities to listen, speak, read and write. Success-orientation. Practice is most effective if it is based on successful practice. Heterogeneity. Practice should be able to elicit different sentences and generate different levels of answers from different learners.hints and prompts.Interest. Interest is an essential feature of successful practice. Learners who are bored find it difficult to concentrate and theirattention wanders.Mechanical PracticeMechanical practice involves activities that are aimed at form accuracy. By doing mechanical practice, the students pay repeated attention to a key element in a structure. Substitution and transformation drills are most frequently used in mechanical practice.In SUBSTITUTION DRILLS, the students substitute a part in a structure so that they get to know that part functions in a sentence. Sometimes certain prompts are given. Below is an example:Substitute the underlined part with the proper forms of the given words.green lawn clean house pretty garden nice flowersIn this exercise, the students are expected to produce sentences like:Mrs. Green has the greenest lawn in town.Mrs. Green has the cleanest house in town.Mrs. Green has the prettiest garden in town.Mrs. Green has the nicest flowers in town.When doing substitution drills, the students also need to change the forms of the given prompts. It is believed that substitution drills that involve changes in forms are effective than those in which students simply replace the target part with another word.The transformation drills, the students change a given structure in a way so that they are exposed to another similar structure. The type of exercise helps the students to have a deeper understanding of how the structures are formed and how they are used. Below is an example of transformation:Change the following sentences into the past tense. Use the adv. given in the brackets.Now he lives in London.(last year, Paris)We have English and math today. (Yesterday, music and P.E) He gets up at seven. (This morning, eight)Last year he lived in Paris.Yesterday we had music and P.E.This morning he got up at eight.Meaningful PracticeIn meaningful practice the focus is on the production, comprehension or exchange of meanings though the students “keep an eye on ” the way newly learned structures that are used in the process.Meaningful practice usually comes after mechanical practice. For example, after the presentation and mechanical practice of adjective comparatives and superlatives.Using prompts for practiceUsing prompts has also proved to be an effective way of grammar practice.The prompts can be pictures, mimes, tables or key words. Practice based on prompts is usually meaningful practice.Using picture prompts.Using mime or gestures as promptsUsing information sheet as promptsUsing chained phrases for story tellingUsing created situations①Using picture prompts: the students are asked to produce sentences based on the pictures provided.②Using mime or gestures as prompts: the teacher can invite the students to ask questions like: “what were you doing at 7o’clock yesterday evening?”or “What do you like to do in your spare time?”instead of answering the questions direc tly the teacher acts out the answers by miming and invites the students to guess the answers.③Using information sheet as prompts: Students can be asked to describe each person using the information provided and then add and tell each other their own likes.④Using key phrase or key words as prompts: The students are asked to produce language based on pictures and key phrase provided by the teachers.How many? playgroundboysgirlschildren⑤Using chained phrase for story telling. The students try to tell a story based on given prompts. Here is an example:7 o’clock –got up –had breakfast –hurried to school –school closed –surprised--?⑥Using created situations. In classroom situations, it is very difficult to find a real need and a real purpose for genuine communication in English among the students. However, teachers can create a situation for students to practice the language in a communicative way.Unit 8 Teaching V ocabularyAims of the unit:Although vocabulary is usually integrated with the teaching of reading, we still consider it necessary to introduce ways to learn and consolidate vocabulary.Assumptions about vocabulary and vocabulary building.Methods for presenting new vocabulary items.Ways to consolidate vocabulary;Ways to help students develop vocabulary building strategies.8.1 V ocabulary and vocabulary buildingUnlike the controversial role of grammar in foreign language learning, the role of vocabulary seems to have received more consistent understanding. However, uncertainty still remains regarding what constitutes a vocabulary item, which vocabulary items should be taught and learned, and how vocabulary can be taught and learned most effectively.Task IRead the following assumptions about vocabulary in English learning and decide if you agree with them or not.。

The role of grammar in language learning（语法在语言教学中的角色）【考点：语法在语言教学中的角色】Despite many different views about the role of grammar in language learning, the importance of grammar cannot be denied. Grammatical competence is essential for communication.人们对语法在外语教学中的价值众说纷纭，意见不一，尽管如此，语法的重要性是不言而喻的。

英语教学法复习要点1.Structural view on language：The structural view of language sees language as a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: the sound system(phonology);the discrete units of meaning produced by sound combinations(morphology), and the system of combining units of meaning for communication(syntax). Each language has a finite number of such structural items. To learn a language means to learn these structural items so as to be able to understand and produce language. When this structural view of language was combined with the stimulus-response principles of behavioristic psychology, the audiolingual approach to language learning emerged.2.Interactional view on language：The interactional view considers language to be a communicative tool, whose main use is to build up and maintain social relations between people. Therefore, learners not only need to know the grammar and vocabulary of the language but as importantly they need to know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative contexts.municative competence：The goal of CLT is to develop students' communicative competence, which includes boththe knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situations.There are five main components of communicative competence: linguistic competence, pragmatic competence, discourse competence, strategic competence, fluency4.Task in English language teaching：Task-based Language Teaching is a further development of Communicative Language Teaching. It shares the same beliefs,,as language should be learned as close as possible to how it is used in real life. However, it has stressed the importance to combine form-focused teaching with communicative-focused teaching.5.Overall language ability：• Learning:cognitive; self management; communication; resourcing•Language learning: listening; speaking; reading; writing • Language: phonetics; grammar; vocabulary; functions; topics• Cultural: knowledge; understanding; awareness• Affect: international; perspectives; patriotism; confidence; motivationponents of a lesson plan：background information; teaching aims; language contents and skills; stages and procedures; teaching aids; end of lesson summary; optional activities and assignments; after-lesson reflection.7.The role of the teacher：controller, assessor, organizer, prompter, participant, resource-provider, facilitators, guides, researchers8.Errors and mistakes：a mistake has nothing to do with the language competence, but a result from a temporary breakdown. When a mistake is challenged or given enough attention, it can be self-corrected. An error has direct relation with the learners' language competence. Errors do not result from carelessness nor hesitation, but lack of knowledge in the target language. Language errors cannot be self-corrected no matter how much attention is given. 9.The goal of teaching pronunciation：Consistency: the pronunciation should be smooth and natural; Intelligibility: the pronunciation should be understandable to the listeners; Communicative efficiency: the pronunciation should help convey the meaning that is intended by the speaker.10.Principles for teaching speaking：balancingaccuracy-based with fluency-based practices; contextualising practice; personalising practice; building up confidence; maximising meaningful interactions; helping students develop speaking strategies; making the best use of classroom learning environment to provide sufficient language input and practice for the students.11.Mechanical practice：involves activities that are aimed at form accuracy. By doing mechanical practice, the students pay repeated attention to a key element in a structure. Substitution and transformation drills are most frequently used in mechanical practice.12.Meaningful practice：in meaningful practice, the focus is on the production, comprehension or exchange of meaning though the students 'keep an eye on' the way newly learned structures are used in to process. Meaningful practice usually comes after mechanical practice.13.The deductive method：relies on reasoning, analyzing and comparing. Frist, the teacher writes an example on the board or draws attention to an example in the textbook. Then the teacher explains the underlying rules regarding the forms and positions of certain structural terms. Sometimes,comparisons are made between the native language and the target language or between the newly presented structure and previously learned structure. Finally, the students practice applying the rule to produce sentences with given prompts.14.Guided discovery method：The guided discovery method is similar to the inductive method in that the students are induced to discover rules by themselves 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. There are two key theoretical issues related to this method: the role of explicit knowledge in language learning and the value of discovery as a general method of learning.15.Knowing a word：Knowing a word means knowing its pronunciation and stress; its spelling and grammatical properties; its meaning; how and when to use it to express the intended meaning.16.Vocabulary consolidation activities：labelling; spot the difference; describe and draw; play a game; use word series; word bingo; word association; find synonyms and antonyms; categories; using word net-work17.Connotative meaning of a word：A connotative meaning ofa word refers to 'the attitudes or emotions of a language user in choosing a word and the influence of these on the listener or reader's interpretation of the word. These would include words that may express a positive or negative attitude or subtle feelings towards something.18.Denotative meaning of a word：Denotative meaning of a word of a lexical item refers to those words that we use to label things as regards real objects, such as a name or a sigh, etc. in the physical world. This is usually the primary meaning of a word and may seem relatively easy to learn.19.Vocabulary learning strategies：review regularly, guess meaning from context, organize vocabulary effectively, usea dictionary, manage strategy use20. Top-down model of listening：In the top-down model, listening for gist and making use of the contextual clues and background knowledge to construct meaning are emphasized.21.Bottom-up model of listening：In the bottom-up model, listening comprehension is believed to start with sound and meaning recognitions. In other word, 'we use information in the speech itself to try to comprehend the meaning'.Listeners construct meaning of what they hear based on the sound they hear. This process of listening expects the listener to have a very effective short-term memory as they have to make sense of every sound in order to figure out the meaning of words, phrases and structures. If there are unfamiliar sounds, listeners will find it very hard to keep up with the speaker.22.Sight vocabulary：Words that one is able to recognise immediately are often referred to as sight vocabulary. In other words, your sight vocabulary will be those words that you can recognise with both sounds and meanings without special effort from your brain.23.Interactive model for teaching reading：24.The transition device：The way to transfer information from one form to another is called a transition device. Some transition devices that are often used in teaching reading are: pictures, drawings, maps, tables, tree diagrams, cyclic diagrams, pie charts, bar charts, flowcharts, chronological sequence, subtitles and notes. Most of the transition devices listed above make use of visual aids so that information in text form is visualized.The purpose of transition device:•Focus attention on the main meaning of the text;•Be able to simplify sophisticated input so that it becomes the basis for output;•Allow students to perform tasks while they are reading;•Highlight the main structural organization of a text/part of a text, and show how the structure relates to meaning; •Involve all the students in clearly defined reading tasks;•Precede one step at a time;•When a TD is completed, use it as a basis for further oral and/or written language practice.25.A communicative approach to writing：It acknowledges that mechanical writing activities do not by themselves motivate students. To motivate students, it is necessary to engage them in some act of communication. This means either writing for a specific recipient, or engaging in an act of creative writing where their work is intended to be read by other people, in other words, an intended audience. In short, students can be motivated by authentic writing tasks that have some communicative elements.26.The process approach to writing：creating a motivation to write, brainstorming, mapping, freewriting, outlining, drafting, editing, revising, proofreading, conferencing。
