Revision Contents:Unit 1 Language and Learning1. What are the major views of language? What are their implications to language teaching or learning?Structural View: It sees language as a linguistic system made up of various subsystem: from phonological, morphological, lexical, etc. to sentence. 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.Teaching methods based on this view:the Audio-lingual methodTotal Physical Responsethe Oral ApproachSituational Language Teaching.Audiolingual approach: The teaching of a second language through imitation, repetition, and reinforcement. It emphasizes the teaching of speaking and listening before reading and writing and the use of mother tongue in the classroom is not allowed.The principal features of audiolingualism are an emphasis on structures in the language which can be learned as regular patterns of verbal behavior and the belief that learning is a process of habit formation.Functional View: It sees language as a linguistic system but also as a means for doing things. Most of our day-to- day language use involves functional activities: offering , suggesting , advising, apologizing, etc. Therefore, learners learn a language in order to do things with it. To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that perform the functions.Some of the language learning approaches and methods based on this view of language are: communicative approachesInteractional View: It considers language as 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 also need to know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative context.Some of the language learning approaches and methods based on this view of language are: Strategic interaction; communicative approaches.to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that perform the functions.a linguisticsystem ,means fordoing things Functional not only to know thegrammar and vocabulary ofthe language , but also toknow the rules for using themin a whole range ofcommunicative context. a communicati ve toolInteractional to learn these structural items a linguistic system StructuralLanguage learning Language Views2. What are the major Views on language learning ? What are their implications tolanguage teaching?Behaviouralist theoryBased on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a formof behaviour. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond tostimuli. This theory of language learning is referred to as behaviouralism, which wasadopted for some time by the language teaching profession, particularly in America.One influential result is the audio-lingual method, which involves endless“listen and repeat ” drilling activities. The idea of this method is that language islearned by constant repetition and the reinforcement of the teacher. Mistakes wereimmediately corrected, and correct utterances were immediately praised. This methodis still used in many parts of the world today .Cognitive theoryIt seems to be largely the result of Noam Chomsky ‟s reaction to Skinner ‟sbehavioural theory , which led to the revival of structural linguistics.The key point of Chomsky ‟s theory is reflected in his most famous question: iflanguage is a learned behaviour, how can a child produce a sentence that has neverbeen said by others before.One influential idea is that students should be allowed to create their ownsentences based on their understanding of certain rules. This idea is clearly inopposition to the Audio-Lingual Method.According to the cognitive theory , learning is a process in which the learneractively tries to make sense of data. The basic technique associated with a cognitivetheory of language learning is the problem-solving task.Constructivist theory --- represented by John DeweyLearning is a complex cognitive process in which the learner constructs meaning based on his or her own experiences and what he /she already knows.Implications for classroom teachingTeaching should be built based on what learners already know and engage learners in learning activities.It is believed that education is used to develop the mind, not just to rotate or recall what is learned.Teachers need to design activities to interact with learners to foster inventive, creative, critical learners.Teachers must balance an understanding of the habits, characteristics as well as personalities of individual learners with an understanding of the means of arousing learners‟ interest and curiosity for learning.Socio-constructivist theory ----represented by VygotskyIt emphasizes interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context based on the concept of ‘Zone of Proximal Development’(ZPD) and scaffolding.Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the teacher and the learner and between learners. With the teacher‟s scaffolding through questions and explanations, or with a more capable peers‟support, the learner can move to a higher level of understanding and extend his / her skills and knowledge to the fullest potential.3. Socio-constructivist theory of language learning emphasizes interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context.4. The quality of a good language teacher includes ethic devotion, professional quality and personal styles.5.One influential idea of cognitive approach to language teaching is that students should be allowed to create their own sentence based on their own understanding of certain rules.Unit 2 Communicative Principles and Activities1. The goal of CLT is to develop students‟ communicative competence.2.What is communicative compentence? Try to list some of its components andtheir implication to teaching.Communicative compentence refers to both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situations. According to Hedge, it includes five components.Linguistic competence --- knowledge of the language itself, its form and meaning Pragmatic competence --- the appropriate use of language in social context Discourse competence --- one‟s ability to create coherent written text or conversation and the ability to understand them (ability to express or to understand a topic logically and coherently by effectively employing or comprehending the cohesive markers used in the discourse /ability to initiate, develop, enter, interrupt, check, or confirm in a conversation)Strategic competence--- strategies one employs when there is communicationbreakdown due to lack of resourcesFluency---- one‟s ability to …link units of speech together with facility and without strain or inappropriate slowness or undue hesitationImplications for teaching and learning:Linguistic competenceTeachers need to help learners----achieve accuracy in the grammatical forms of the language;----pronounce the forms accurately;----use stress, rhythm, and intonation to express meaning;----build a range of vocabulary;----learn the script and spelling rules;----achieve accuracy in syntax and word formation.Pragmatic competenceTeachers need to help learners---learn the relationship between grammatical forms and functions;---use stress and intonation to express attitude and emotion;---learn the scale of formality;---understand and use emotive tone;---use the grammatical rules of language;---select language forms appropriate to topic, listener, or setting, etc.Discourse competenceTeachers need to help learners----take longer turns, use discourse markers and open and close conversations;----appreciate and be able to produce contextualised written texts in a variety of genres;----be able to use cohesive devices in reading and writing texts;----be able to cope with authentic texts.Strategic competenceTeachers need to enable learners----to take risks in using the language;----to use a range of communicative strategies;----to learn the language needed to engage in some of these strategies, e.g. …What do you call a thing that/person who…‟FluencyTeachers need to help learners-----deal with the information gap of real discourse;-----process language and respond appropriately with a degree of ease;-----be able to respond with reasonable speed in …real time”.3.What is communicative language teaching?Communicative language teaching began in Britain in the 1960s as a replacement to Situational Language Teaching. This was partly in response to Chomsky's criticisms of structural theories of language and partly based on the theories of British functional linguistics, as well as American sociolinguists.The goal of communicative language approaches is to create a realistic context for language acquisition in the classroom. The focus is on functional language usage and the ability to learners to express their own ideas, feelings, attitudes, desires and needs.Open ended questioning and problem-solving activities and exchanges of personal information are utilized as the primary means of communication. Students usually work with authentic materials in small groups on communication activities, during which they receive practice in negotiating meaning.This method is learner-centered and emphasizes communication and real-life situations. The role of the instructor in CLT is quite different from traditional teaching methods. In the traditional classroom, the teacher is in charge and "controls" the learning. In CLT the teacher serves as more of a facilitator, allowing students to be in charge of their own learning.4.Principles in communicative language teachingCommunication principle: Activities that involve real communication promote learning.Task principle: Activities in which language is used for carrying out meaningful tasks promote learning.Meaningfulness principle: Language that is meaningful to the learning supports the learning process.5.Strong version and week versionA weak version: Learners first acquire language as a structural system and then learn how to use it in communication.It regards overt teaching of language forms and functions as necessary means for helping learners to develop the ability to use them for communication.A strong version:Strong version: The strong version claims th at …la nguage is acquire through c ommunication‟. Learners discover the structural system in the process of learning how to communicate.It regards experiences of using the language as the main means or necessary conditions for learning a language as they provide the experience for learners to see how language is used in communication.5. List some of the communicative activities.1) Functional communicative activitiesIdentifying picturesDiscovering identical pairsDiscovering sequence or locationsDiscovering missing informationDiscovering missing featuresDiscovering “secrets”Communicating patterns and picturesCommunicative modelsDiscovering differencesFollowing directionsReconstructing story-sequencesPooling information to solve a problem2) Social interaction activitiesRole-playing through cued dialoguesRole-playing through cues and informationRole-playing through situation and goalsRole-playing through debate and discussionLarge-scale simulation activitiesimprovisation6. Main features communicative activities Some main features of communicativeactivities (Ellis 1990)Students make use of materials6. No materials control Students work by themselves.5. No teacher interventionStudents are free to use all kinds of language forms and skills, not just certain forms given by teacher.4. Variety of languageConcentrate on what to do and what to say in the activity, not how to say certain forms.3. Content, not form A need to do something 2. Communicative desireA need to know something.---‟an information gap ‟1. Communictive purposenotes The six criteria7. The Task-based ApproachA task-based approach sees the language process as one of learning through doing.It stresses the importance to combine form-focused teaching withcommunication-focused teaching.The task-based approach aims at providing opportunities for the learners toexperiment with and explore both spoken and written language through learningactivities which are designed to engage learners in the authentic, practical andfunctional use of language for meaningful purposes.Task -based Learning offers an alternative for language teachers. In a task-basedlesson the teacher doesn't pre-determine what language will be studied, the lesson isbased around the completion of a central task and the language studied is determinedby what happens as the students complete it.So it aims to provide learners with a natural context for language use ．As learnerswork to complete a task ，they have abundant opportunity to interact ．Such interactionis thought to facilitate language acquisition as learners have to work to understandeach other and to express their own meaning ．By so doing ，they have to check to seeif they have comprehended correctly and，at times，they have to seek clarification．By interacting with others，they get to listen to language which may be beyond their present ability，but which may be assimilated into their knowledge of the target language for use at a later time．Task presented in the form of a problem-solving negotiation between knowledge that the learner holds and new knowledge7. What is a task?Any one of the following definitions is ok:A task is “a piece of work undertaken f or oneself or for others, freely or for some reward. Thus examples of tasks include painting a fence, dressing a child. In other words, by …task‟ is meant the hundred and one things people do in everyday life, at work, at play and in between”.-------- Long (1985)[A task is] an activity which require learners to arrive at an outcome from given information through some process of thought, and which allows teachers to control and regulate that process. ------ Prabhu (1987)… a piece of classroom work which involve learners in comprehending, manipulating, producing or interacting in the target language while their attention is principally focused on meaning rather than on form. ----Nunan (1989) Tasks are always activities where the target language is used by the learner for a communicative purpose (goal) in order to achieve an outcome.”A task is an activity in which students use the target language to do something, usually with a non-linguistic purpose.8. A task is believed to have four components: a purpose, a context, a process, and a product.9. What is PPP model?In this model, a language classroom consists of three stages: Presentation of new language item in a context---controlled practice (drilling, repetition, dialogue reading, etc)---production of the language in a meaningful way (a role-play, a drama, an interview, etc.)10. A task-based language classroom consists of three stages. They are pre-task stage, the stage of task cycle, and the stage of language focus.Unit 31. The overall language ability required in the 2001 National English Curriculum includes the following aspects language knowledge, language skills, learning strategies, affects and cultural understanding.2. What is a syllabus?A syllabus is a specification of what takes place in the classroom, which usually contains the aims and contents of teaching and sometimes contains suggestions of methodology.3. What is curriculum?A curriculum, however, provides (1) general statements about the rationale aboutlanguage, language learning and language teaching, (2) detailed specification of aims, objectives and targets learning purpose, and (3) implementations of a program. In some sense, a syllabus is part of a curriculum.Syllabus is often used to refer to something similar to a language teaching approach, whereas curriculum refers to a specific document of a language program developed for a particular country or region.4. Designing principles for the National English Curriculum1) Aim for educating all students, and emphasize quality-oriented education.2) Promote learner-centeredness, and respect individual differences.3. Develop competence-based objectives, and allow flexibility and adaptability.4) Pay close attention to the learning process, and advocate experiential learning and participation.5. Attach particular importance to formative assessment, and give special attention to the development of competence.6. Optimize learning resources, and maximize opportunities for learning and using the language.Unit 4. Lesson Planning1. What is lesson planning?Lesson planning means making decisions in advance about what aims to be achieved, materials to be covered, activities to be organized, and techniques, resources to be used in order to achieve the aims of the lesson.2. Principles for good lesson planning include: Aim, V ariety, Flexibility, Learnability and Linkage3. Lesson planning at two levels:Macro planning: planning over a longer period of time (programme planning / whole course planning---one semester planning---half a semester planning) Micro planning: planning for a specific unit or a lesson (40 or 50 minutes)4. Components of a lesson planBackground information: number of students/ ages/ grade/ genders/ the time and the date of the lesson/ the time duration of the lessonTeaching objectives: What do you want students to know and be able to do? Language contents and skills: structures, vocabulary, functions, topics and so on; listening, speaking, reading and writing.Teaching stages and procedure: the major chunks of activities that teachers go through in a lesson. Procedures are the detailed steps in each teaching stage.1) Five-step teaching model(1) warm-up/ a tarter/revision;(2) presentation(3) drilling(4) consolidation(5) summary and homework2) The three P‟s model: presentation, practice, and productionTeaching aids: real objects/ flashcards/ wordcards/ worksheets/ wallcharts/ cassette tapes/ magazine pictures/ video, Multi-media, etc.End of lesson summary:Purposes of making a summary is to take learning further and deeper by helping the students to refer back to the learning objectives; To create a sense of achievement and completion of tasks for the students. To develop with students a habit of reflection on learning; stimulate interest, curiosity and anticipation about the next phase of learning; help students draw out applications of what has been learned and highlight the important conceptions which have developed.Homework assignmentOptional activitiesAfter class reflection:Teachers are encouraged to keep a brief account of what happened in the lesson: feelings about the lesson, students‟performances, unexpected incidents, surprises, things that went well, things that went wrong and things to be improved and things to be given more attention in the next lesson.Unit 5 Classroom Management1.What is classroom management?Classroom Management refers to the way teachers organize what goes on in the classroom.2. Types of student grouping and their advantages and disadvantagesIn language classroom can be grouped in four different ways. They are whole-class work (lockstep), pair work, group work and individual study.1) whole-class work (lockstep)Lockstep refers to the time when all the students are under the control of the teacher. They are all doing the same activity at the same rhythm and pace. Lockstep is adopted when presenting new language, give explanations, check answers, do accuracy-based reproduction, or summarize learning.Advantages:It reinforces a sense of belonging among a group of members. When students are doing the same activity together, everyone feels being together with others.It is good for teachers to give instruction and explanation together and it is an ideal way to show materials and do presentations together.Disadvantages:Everyone is forced to do the same thing at the same time and at the same pace. Individuality is not favored in this sense.Not everyone has the opportunity to express what they want.Some students feel nervous and anxious when they are asked to present in front of the class.It favors the transmission of knowledge from teacher to students rather than students discovering things by themselves.It is not a good way to enhance real communication. Students cannot communicate with each other in this sense.2) pair work: the time when students work in pairs on an exercise or task. Itcould be a dialogue reading, a game or an information-gap task between two students.Advantages:It dramatically increases students’speaking time in each class.It allows students to work together rather than under the teacher’s guidance.It allows teacher’s time to work with the week pair while others are working on their own.It can promote cooperation between students.It can create a more relaxed and friendly context for students to learn.It is relatively quick and easy to organize.DisadvantagesIt is often very noisy and teachers are afraid of losing control of the class.Some students may talk in native language or something not related to the topic. It is not very easy for teachers to monitor every pair.Some students may not like to work with the peers, and they think they can only learn from the teacher. So they refuse to participate in the activities.The choice of a pair is also a problem. Some students don’t like to work with particular partner while someone may dominate all the time.3) group workGroup work refers to the time when students work in small groups.Advantages:Like pair work, it dramatically increases the amount of talk of individual students.There is always a great chance of different opinions and contributions to the work.It also encourages cooperation and negotiation skills among students.It promotes learner autonomy by allowing students to make their own decision rather than follow the teachers.DisadvantagesLike pair work, it is likely to make the classroom very noisy and some teachers feel very uncomfortable with the noise.Not everyone enjoys the work since many of them prefer to work with teachers rather than peers.Some students may dominate the talk while others may be very passive or even quiet all the time.It is difficult for teacher to organize. It may take a longer time for teachers to group students and there may be not enough space for students to move around in classroom.Some groups may finish the task fast while some may be very slow. So teachers need to prepare the optional activities for the quick group and be ready to help the slower ones all the time.4) individual studyIndividual study is the stage where the students are left to work on their own and at their own speed.Advantages:It allows students free time, style and pace to study on their own.It is less stressful compared with whole class work.It can develop learner autonomy and form good learning habits.It can create some peaceful and quiet time in class.DisadvantagesIt does not help a class to develop a sense of belonging. Students learn bythemselves and it does not promote team spirit.It may not be very motivating for students.It does not benefit communication between students. Students cannot developspeaking ability in this sense. Ac tivity 5: Group dis c us s ionThe advantages and disadvantages of the above groupingLess dynamic classroom;No co-operation;No outside pressure;Study at own speed;Individual studyThe same as those in pair work;plays some students might dominate;Difficult to group;Communication in its real sense;More dynamic than pair work;promoting self-reliance;Group work Students stray away from the task;Using native language;Noise and indiscipline.More chance for practice;Encouraging co-operation;Relaxing atmosphere;Pair work Students have little chance to speak;Same speed for different students;Nervous in front of the whole class;Not enough communication;All the class are concentrating; good modeling from teacher;comfortable in choral practiceWhole-class work Disadvantages Advantages Grouping3. The role of the teacher ---- contoller, assessor, organizer, prompter, participant, resource provider4. The new curriculum requires the teacher to put on the following new roles: facilitator, guides, and researchers.5. What are the functions or purposes of questions?To focus students‟ attentionsTo invite thinking or imaginationsTo check understandingTo stimulate recall of informationTo challenge studentsTo assess learning6. Classification of questionsQuestions have been classified using different criteria, mainly based on the level of thinking involved in answering the questions.Closed v.s open--- Closed questions refer to those with only one single correct answer while open questions may invite many different answers.Display v.s genuine--- Display questions are those that the answers are already known to the teacher and they are used in checking if students know the answers, too. Genuine questions are those which are used to find out new information and more communicative.Lower-ordered v.s high-ordered--- Lower-ordered questions refer to those that simply require recalling of information or memorisation of facts while higher-ordered questions require more reasoning, analysis, and evaluation.7. How to deal with errors?The distinction between mistakes and errors:A mistake: a performance error that is either a random guess or a “slip of tongue/pen”, it is a failure performance to a known system. A mi stake has nothing to do with the language competence.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.When to correct：accuracy-based activities；fluency-based activitiesHow to correct：Direct teacher correctionIndirect teacher correctionSelf correctionPeer correctionWhole class correctionSelf-correction is encouraged before teacher correction or peer correction because if it is a mistake, the student himself/herself will be able to correct it.Indirect teacher correction is encouraged rather than direct teacher correction to avoid damaging students‟ Self esteem and confidence.Unit 6 Teaching Pronunciation1.True or false?2. Factors that determine whether students need focus on pronunciation(1) Similarities of sound system between the native language and the target language.(2) Learners‟ learning context --- Learners‟ exposure to English(3) Learners‟ age---- Adults are more likely to substitute English sounds with sounds from their native language.3. Critical Period HypothesisThis hypothesis states that if humans do not learn a foreign language before a certain age (perhaps around puberty), then due to changes such as maturation of the brain, it becomes impossible to learn the foreign language like a native speaker.4. The goal of teaching pronunciation should be: consistency, intelligibility, and communicative efficiency.(1) Consistency: The pronunciation should be smooth and natural.(2) Intelligibility: The pronunciation should be understandable to the listeners.(3) Communicative efficiency: The pronunciation should help to convey the meaning that is intended by the speaker.5. Imagine that you want to focus on a sound that your students are having difficulty with. Which of the following steps are necessary? In what order would you teach and practice the sound? On the line tick the steps that you think are necessary. In the brackets, write the order numbers.Focus only on those sounds which are causing difficulty to the students. The following steps may be helpful in teaching the difficult sounds:1) Say the sound alone, but this may be avoided wherever possible.2) Say the sound in a word.3) Contrast it with other sounds if necessary.4) Write words on the board only when it becomes necessary to make your point clearer.5) Explain how to make the sound when necessary.6) Have students repeat the sound in chorus.7) Have individual students repeat the sound.6. List some methods of practicing sounds.Minimal pairsWhich orderOdd one outCompletion。

Discuss their implications to teaching.Information-gap activitiesList some of the speaking tasks that the students are often asked to do in language classroomUnit 11 Teaching readingThe role of vocabulary in reading: sight vocabularySkills involved in reading comprehensionModels for teaching readingStages involved in Teaching ReadingProblems in reading are often seen as a failure to recognize words that may not exist in the learner’s vocabulary or in understanding grammatical structures that may not have been acquired by the learner. Therefore, the task of teaching reading is seen as teaching vocabulary along with the grammatical structure of the target language. Do you agree with such an opinion? Explain your reasons.In teaching reading, teachers often engage students in pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading activities. What do you think are the major functions of pre-reading activities?Unit 12 Teaching WritingWhat is the main idea of communicative approach to writing?What is the main idea of the process approach to writing?Exercises for the course of English teaching methodologyI.

Socio-constructivist theory of language learning emphasizes interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context.2.The quality of a good language teacher includes ethic devotion, professional quality and personal styles.3.One influential idea of cognitive approach to language teaching is that students should be allowed to create their own sentence based on their own understanding of certain rules.4. The overall language ability required in the 2001 National English Curriculum includes the following aspects language knowledge, language skills, learning strategies, affects and cultural understanding.5. The role of the teacher ---- contoller, assessor, organizer, prompter, participant, resource providerThe new curriculum requires the teacher to put on the following new roles: facilitator, guides, and researchers.6.The goal of teaching pronunciation should be: consistency, intelligibility, and communicative efficiency.7. Grammar practice is usually divided into two categories, mechanical practice and meaningful practice.8. As far as classroom procedures are concerned, the teaching of listening generally follows three stages: pre-listening stage, while-listening stage, and post-listening stage.IV. Problem SolvingDirections: Below are some situations in classroom instruction. Each has at least one problem. First, identify the problem(s). Second, provide your solution (s) according to what you have learned. You should elaborate on the problem(s) and solution(s) properly. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.1．In one of the lessons. Mr. Li arranged the students into groups to talk about what they want to be when they grow up. To ensure thatthey applied what they learned, he required them to use the expressions in the text. To his surprise, students were not very active and some groups were talking about something else and one group was talking in Chinese.Problems:1) Maybe the topic does not correspond with the students’ current needs. Suppose these students were interested only in getting high scores in examinations, they would not have interest in such a talk.2) The activity is much controlled. They may like to talk about their hobbies, but they have to use the expressions the teacher presents, which to some extent restricts them. That is perhaps why they are not very active.3) If students talk in Chinese, it may be because the talk is a little too demanding for them in terms of language competence. When students have difficulty in expressing themselves in English, they will switch to Chinese.4) Maybe the teacher does not arrange such activities very often in class. The students are not used to such communicative activities and so do not take an active part.Solutions:1）The teacher can ask the students to talk about their hobbies freely without considering the structure2) The teacher can give the task a real purpose. For example, he can ask the students to ask others about their hobbies to form a hobby club.3) It’s better to explain to the students the value of such kind of activity.4) The teacher can circulate around to encourage the students to talk in English.2. To cultivate communicative competence, Mr. Li chose some news reports from China Daily for his middle school students. Problems:1) Authentic materials are desirable in cultivation of communicative competence. But they should correspond to students" ability. News reports from China Daily are too difficult for middle school students.2) The content of news reports may not be relevant to the course requirement of middle school English.Solutions:1) If Mr. Li insists on using the materials from China Daily, it is necessary for him to adapt the material or select those reports which are easier to read and more relevant to students" interests.2) If he can, it is better to select news reports from other newspapers which are relevant to the students" life and study. It is necessaryto bear in mind the students" needs when selecting materials for classroom instruction.(第一项要求写出两点即可，而第二项要求能说出两点。

Discourse competence refers to one’s ability to creat coherent written text or conversation and the ability to understand them.2. A mistake refers to a performance error that is either a random guess or a ‘slip of tongue’, and it is a failure performance to a known system’.3. Critical Period Hypothesis states that if humans do not learn a foreign language before a certain age(perhaps around puberty),then due to changes such as maturation of the brain, it becomes impossible to learn the foreign language like a native speaker.4. implicit knowledge refers to knowledge that unconsciously exists in our mind, which we can make use of automatically without making any effort.5. Words that one is able to recognize immediately are often referred to as sight vocabulary.6. It is concerned with the appropriateness use of the language in social context. The choice of the vocabulary and structure depends on the setting, the relative status of the speakers, and their relationships.7. Task has four main components: a purpose, a context, a process, a product.8. Active vocabulary refers to words that one is not only able to recognize and comprehend but also able to use automatically in speaking and writing.9. the activities which focus on individual aspects of language, such as vocabulary, grammar or individual skills.10.

Presentation, practice and production11. Stimulus, response12. Three-partⅢ.1. T2. F3. T4. F5. F6. F7. F8. F9. TⅣ.1. Some teachers teach reading by introducing new vocabulary and new structuresfirst and then going over the text sentence by sentence. This is followed by some questions and answers and reading aloud practice. This way of teaching reading reflects the belief that reading comprehension is based on the understanding and mastery of all the new words, new phrases, and new structures as well as a lot of reading aloud practice. Also, this reading follows a linear process from the recognition of letters, to words, to phrases, to sentences, to paragraphs, and then to the meaning of the whole text.2. 1) Knowing a word means knowing its pronunciation and stress; 2) knowing a word means knowing its spelling and grammatical properties; 3) knowing a word means knowing its meaning; 4) knowing a word mean knowing how and when to use it to express the intended meaning.3. Watson and Raynor formulated a stimulus-response theory of psychology, in which all complex forms of behavior are seen as composed of simple muscular and glandular elements that can be observed and measured. They claimed that emotional reactions are learned in much the same way as other skills. The key point of the theory of conditioning is that “you can train an animal to do anything if you follow a certain procedure which has three major stages, stimulus, response, and reinforcement.Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested 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.4. They have a clear purpose in reading;read silently;read phrase by phrase,rather than word by word;concertrate on the important bits,skim the rest,and skip the insignificant parts;use different speeds and strategies for different reading tasks; perceive the information in the target language rather than mentally translate; guess the meaning of new words from the context, or ignore them; have and use background information to help understand the text.5. W hat’s the cognitive theory of language learning?According to Chomsky, language is not a form of behavior, it is an intricate rule-based system and a large part of language acquisition is the learning of this system. There are a finite number of grammatical rules in the system and with a knowledge of these rules an infinite number of sentences can be produced. A language learner acquires language competence, which enables him to produce language. Though Chomsky’s theory is not direc tly 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.6. What are the features of communicative language teaching?Based on the concept of communicative competence and aiming at developing such competence, communicative language teaching has the following features:1) It stresses the need to allow students opportunities for authentic and creative use of the language.2) It focuses on meaning rather than form.3) It suggests that learning should be relevant to the needs of the students.4) It advocates task-based language teaching. Students should be given tasks toperform or problems to solve in the classroom.5) It emphasizes a functional approach to language learning. Also, to be competent in the target language, learners should acquire not only linguistic knowledge, but also the culture of that language.7. What are the three steps in helping learners learn to use resources according to Ryan ?The first step is a consciousness-raising discussion of available resources. The teacher can ask the students to discuss and share what resources they use to extend learning outside the classroom. Then the teacher will model by presenting and practicing some techniques to exploit resources: gathering information from newspapers in readily understandable form or using photos and names in headline to predict the contents of articles. Finally, the teacher can introduce the theoretical assumptions underlying the selection of resources and techniques.8. What are the seven intelligences proposed by Gardner? Can you explain them briefly?Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence: the ability to use words effectively, both orally and in writing.Musical Intelligence: sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, and melody.Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: the ability to use numbers effectively and reasons as well.Spatial/Visual Intelligence: sensitivity to form, space, color, line, and shape. Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence: the ability to use the body to express ideas and feelings, and to solve problems.Interpersonal Intelligence: the ability to understand another person’s mood, feelings, motivation, and intentions.Intrapersonal Intelligence: the ability to understand yourself, your strength, weakness, moods, desires, and intentions.9. What are the measures for indisciplined acts and badly behaving students suggested by Harmer?1) Act immediately. If possible, indisciplined acts should be immediately stopped so that less damages is caused. The longer a disciplined problem is left unchecked, the more difficult it is to taken action.2) Stop the class. If the discipline is so disruptive as to hinder the progress of the whole class, the teacher should stop the class and make it clear what is wrong.3) Rearrange the seats. If troublesome students are sitting together, the teacher should separate them. Besides, if students are moved to the front of the class they may behave better.4) Change the activity. If the class seems to be getting out of control, or if indiscipline occurs due to inappropriacy of the activity, a change of activity will often restore the class.5) Talk to students after class. If a student is continually making trouble, the teacher should talk to that student after class. The student should be given a chance to explain why he/she behaves in this way.6) Use the instruction. When problems become extreme it will be necessary to usethe institution—the school or institute—to solve the problem.。

Unit 1 Language and Learning1.1 How do we learn language？We learn language at different agesPeople have different experiencesPeople learn languages for different reasonsPeople learn languages in different waysPeople have different capabilities in language learningLearning can be affected by the way how language is taughtLearning is affected by the degree of success one is expect to achieve.Thus the challenge confronting language teaching is how teaching methodology can ensure successful learning by all the learners who have more differences than the commonality.1. 2 What are the major views of language?1) Structural view:Language is a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: phonology, morphology, lexicology and syntacx. To learn a language is to learn its vocabulary and structural rules.2) Functional view:Language is a linguistic system as well as a means for doing things. Learners learn a language in order to be able to do things with it (use it). To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that perform the functions.3) Interactional view:Language is a communicative tool to build up and maintain social relations between people. Learners need to know the rules of a language and where, when and how it is appropriate to use them.1.3Views on Language LearningTwo broad learning theories：Process-oriented theories are concerned with how the mind organizes new information.⏹ A stimulus-response theory of psychology⏹Audio-lingual method⏹The idea of this method is that language is learned by constant repetition and thereinforcement of the teacher. Mistakes were immediately corrected, and correct utterances were immediately praised.B.Cognitive theory⏹Influenced by Noam Chomsky (revival of structural linguistics)⏹Language as an intricate rule-based system⏹ A learner acquires language competence which enables him to produce language.⏹One influential idea of cognitive approach to language teaching is that students should beallowed to create their own sentence based on their own understanding of certain rules.C.Constructivist theory⏹Jean Piaget (1896—1980)⏹The learner constructs meaning based on his/her own experiences and what is alreadyknown.D.Socio-constructivist theory⏹Vygotsky⏹―Zone of Proximal Development‖ (ZPD); scaffolding(脚手架)⏹Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the teacher and thelearner and between learners.1.4 What are the qualities of a good language teacher?A good language teacher does not solely depend on his/her command of the language. There are a variety of element that contributes to the qualities of a good language teacher. These element can be categorized into three groups:ethic devotion, professional quality and personal styles.1.5 How can one become a good language teacher?☐Wallace‘s (1991) ‗reflective model‘ (Figure 1.1, p.9)Stage 1: language developmentStage 2: learning, practice, reflectionThe learning stage is the purposeful preparation that a language normally receives before the practice,This preparation can include:1. Learning from others‘ experience2. Learning the received knowledge3. Learning from one‘s own experiencesThe practice stage (2 senses)Pseudo practice:short period of time assigned to do teaching practice as part of one‘spre-service education, usually under the supervision of instructorsThe real classroom teaching: what a teacher undertakes after he/she finishes formaleducationTeachers benefit from practice if they keep on reflecting on what they have been doingGoal: professional competenceUnit 2 Communicative Principles and Task-based language teaching2.1 How is language learned in classrooms different from language used in real life?Language used in real life Language taught in theclassroomTo perform certain communtcative functions To focus on forms (structures or patterns)Use all skills, both receptive skills and productive skills To focus on one or two language skills and ignore others.Used in a certain context To isolate language from itscontext2.2 What is communicative competence?To bridge the gap between classroom language teaching and real-life language use, one solution is to adopt CLT, the goal of which is to develop students‘ communicative competence.2.2.1 Definition:Communicative competence include both the knowledge about the language and the knowledge about how to use the language appropriately in communicative situations2.2.2 Five components of communicative competence (Hedge 2000)◆Linguistic competence （语言能力）The knowledge of language itself, its form and meaning.◆Pragmatic competence （语用能力）The appropriate use of language in social context.◆Discourse competence （语篇能力）One‘s ability to create coherent written text or conversation and the ability to understand them◆Strategic competence （策略能力）Strategies one employs when there is communication breakdown due to lack of resources.◆Fluency （流利性）One ‗s ability to ‗link units of speech together with facility and without strain or inappropriate slowness or undue（过分的，不适当的）hesitation‘2.3Implications for teaching and learningTeaching must enable learners to grasp the five components of communicative competence, but not just the linguistic competence.2.4 Principles of CLTThree principles suggest by Richard and Rodgers：1 Communication principle：involve real communication2 Task principle：Carry out meaningful tasks3 Meaningfulness principle：Meaningful language to the learnerHowatt proposes a weak and a strong version of CLT:Weak versionLearners first acquire language as a structural system and then learn how to use it in communication.Strong version―language is acquired through communication‖ (Howatt, 1984:279)2.5 Major Activity Types of CLTA sequence of activities represented in Littlewood (1981: 86)Pre-communicative activities✓Structural activities✓Quasi-communicative activities类似,准,半Communicative activities (PP22-23)▪Functional communication activities▪Social interaction activities2.6 Six Criteria for evaluating communicative classroom activities(main features of communicative activities?)●Communicative purpose●Communicative desire●Content, not form●Variety of language●No teacher intervention●No materials control2.7 What is Task-based Language Teaching?TBLT is a further development of CLT. It shares the same belief in the use of language in real life, but stresses the importance to combine form-focused teaching with communication-focused teaching.2.7.1Four components of a task1. A purpose2. A context3. A process4. A product2.7.2 Exercises, exercise-tasks and tasksExercise-tasks is halfway between tasks and exercises. This kind of activity consists of contextualized practice of language item.2.8 Differences between PPP and TBLT1 The way students use and experience language in TBLT is radically different from PPP.*Free of language control*A genuine need to use language to communicate*A free exchange of ideas*Appropriateness & accuracy of language form in general, not production of a single form*A genuine need for accuracy and fluency2. TBL can provide a context for grammar teaching and form-focused activities. PPP is different in this aspect.■ A task-established context⏹Encouraged to think, analyze, not simply to repeat, manipulate and apply⏹ A more varied exposure to natural language⏹Language forms not pre-selected for focus⏹Learner-free selection of language⏹TBL cycle lead from Fluency to accuracy (+fluency)⏹In TBL Integrated skills practiced2.9 How to design tasks?Step 1 Think about students‘ needs, interests, and abilitiesStep 2 Brainstorm possible tasksStep 3 Evaluate the listStep 4 Choose the language itemsStep 5 Preparing materials2.10 CLT and TBLT in the Chinese context☐Problems with CLT1. The very first and forceful argument is whether it is culturally appropriate2. The second problem of CLT relate to the design the syllabus for teaching purpose in the classroom.3. The third problem is that whether such an approach is suitable for all age level of learners or all competence level of learners.⏹Constraints of TBLT⏹The first is it may not be effective for presenting new language items⏹The second constraint is Time as teachers have to prepare task-based activities very carefully.⏹The third is the culture of learning⏹The forth is Level of difficultyUnit 33.1 A brief history of foreign language teaching in ChinaA phase of restoration (1978-1985)A phase of rapid development (1986-1992)A phase of reform (1993-2000)A phase of innovation from 20003.2 Designing principles for the National English Curriculum1) Aim for educating all students, and emphasize quality-oriented education.2) Promote learner-centeredness, and respect individual differences.3) Develop competence-based objectives, and allow flexibility and adaptability.4) Pay close attention to the learning process, and advocate experiential learning and participation.5) Attach particular importance to formative assessment, and give special attention to the development of competence.6) Optimize learning resources, and maximize opportunities for learning and using the language.3.3 Goals and objectives of English language teachingThe new curriculum is designed to promote students‘ overall language ability, which is c omposed of five interrelated components, namely, language skills, language knowledge, affects, learning3.4 Design of the National English Curriculum3.5 The standards for different levels of competence3.6 Challenges facing English language teachers1) English language teachers are expected to change their views about language which is not a system of linguistic knowledge but a means for communication.2) English language teachers are expected to change their traditional role of a knowledge transmitter to a multi-role educator.3) English language teachers are expected to use more task-based activities and put the students at the center of learning.4) English language teachers are expected to use more formative assessment in addition to using tests.5)English language teachers are expected to use modern technology in teaching, creating more effective resources for learning and for using the language.Unit 4. Lesson Planning备课4.1 why is Lesson Planning ImportantA lesson plan is a framework of a lesson in which teachers make advance decisions about whatthey hope to achieve and how they would like to achieve it.Proper lesson plan is essential for both novice and experienced teachers. Language teachers benefit from lesson planning in a number of ways.1.Makes teachers aware of the aims and language contents of the lesson, so as to plan theactivities and choose the techniques accordingly;2.Helps teachers distinguish the various stages of a lesson and see the relationshipbetween them so that the activities of different difficulty levels can be arrangedproperly and the lesson can move smoothly from one stage to another;3.Gives teachers the opportunity to anticipate potential problems so that they can beprepared;4.Gives teachers, esp. novice ones, confidence in class;5.Raises teachers‘ awareness of the teaching aids needed;6.Planning is a good practice and a sign of professionalism.Teachers benefit from proper lesson plans in a number of other ways:☐To enable the teacher to improve class timing;☐Lesson plans are also an aid to continuing development(plan←-→practice ←-→reflection)4.2 Principles for Good Lesson Planning1.Aim: the realistic goals for the lesson; what students are able to do by the end of thelesson;2.Variety: different types of activities; a wide selection of materials;3.Flexibility: preparing some extra and alternative tasks and activities4.Learnability: the contents and tasks planned should be within the learning capabilityof the studentsDoing things that are beyond or below the students‘ coping ability will diminish theirmotivation (Schumann, 1999)5.Linkage: the stages and the steps within each stage are linked with one another.4.3 what are macro planning and micro planning?Macro planningPlanning over a long period of time which is often done by a group of teachers, it provides a general guidance for language teachersMicro planningPlanning for a specific unit or a lesson, which usually lasts from one to two weeks or forty to fifty minutes respectively. Micro planning is often an individual activity and different teachers may have different ways of writing their own lesson plans.❑Macro planning involves the following：Knowing about the professionKnowing about the institutionKnowing about the learnersKnowing about the curriculum/syllabusKnowing about the textbookKnowing about the objectivesA lesson plan usually has the following components:Background informationTeaching aimsTeaching content and skillsStages and proceduresTeaching aidsEnd of lesson summaryOptional activities and AssignmentAfter lesson reflectionUnit 5 Classroom Management5.1 What is classroom management?the goal of classroom management is to create an atmosphere conducive to (有助于)interacting in English in meaningful ways (Gebhard, 1996).Efficient classroom management can be achieved when the following six conditions are met.1.The teacher plays appropriate roles.2.The teacher provides clearer instructions.3.Students are grouped in a way suitable for the learning activities.4.There is discipline as well as harmony in the class.5.The teacher asks appropriate questions.6.The students‘ errors are treated properly5.2 What roles does the teacher play?1.Controller (what to learn; how to learn)2.Assessor (correcting mistakes; organizing feedback)aniser (students‘ activities)4.Prompter (when ss don‘t know what to do…)5.Participant (in ss‘ activities)learners, guide☐⏹acknowledge and respect individual differences; give each equal opportunity in learning;-round perspective…☐⏹reflect on the reasons, think about possible solutions, implement theAppropriate degree of control⏹Different activities need a different degrees of control.Correcting mistakes⏹The correcting should be gentle, not harsh.anizing feedback⏹The feedback should be focused on students‘ success or progress so tha t a success-orientedBefore the activity: what the activity is going to be like, anticipated problems; clear instructions given to students (with T‘s demonstration)⏹During the activity: overhear what the students are saying, rectify wrong practices; take notesWhen students are not sure how to start an activity, or what to do next, or what to say next…⏹When a student doesn‘t seem to be ready for an answer,…Monitoring + participating changes the role from an authority to a conversationalist, aAlthough the jug-and-mug method has been widely criticised, the teacher is still considered a good and convenient resource for the students.‖5.3 How to give effective classroom instructions?2.To use the mother-tongue only when it is necessary;3.Give students time to get used to listening to English instructions;e body language to assist understanding;5.Model the task/activity before letting students into groups or pairs…6.Teachers are not expected to do all the talking in class.Tip: Demonstration is usually more effective than words.5.4 What are the different ways for student grouping?⏹Whole class work, pair work, group work, individual study1.Whole class work☐All the students are under the control of the teacher, doing the same activity at the same rhythm and pace.2.Pair work☐Students work in pairs on an exercise or task.3.Group work☐Students work in small groups of 3-5 students.4.Individual study☐Students work on their own at their own speed.Q: How to group? (Grouping methods)1.Whole class work is normally used when presenting and explaining new language or newinformation and it should be used wisely by the teachers.2.Successful group/pair work depends on skillful organization.3.The biggest problem for group work is the selection of group members.4.While teachers are encourage to use pair wok and group work to provide more practice chance,individual study should not be forgotten.Types of student grouping and their advantages and disadvantages in P314 (task4)5.5 Discipline in the language classroomQ: What does discipline mean?Discipline refers to a code of conduct which binds a teacher and a group of students together so that learning can be more effective. (78)Q: Does discipline guarantee effective learning?☐No. There might be little learning even the class is very disciplined.☐Although discipline is necessary, it is not a sufficient condition for effective learning as a thoroughly indisciplined atmosphere will surely yield no learning at all. (79)Q: How to maintain discipline?P.79Although discipline is often discussed together with classroom management, Classroom management skills are not sufficient if discipline is to be achieved，rather，a variety of teacher‘s behavior contribute to discipline, such as the teacher‘s choice of methodology, their interpersonal relationships with students, their preparation for the lesson. Beside, student‘s motivation, which can be enhanced by the teacher action, is extremely important for discipline.When students are engaged in learning, they will be disciplined. (79)☐Ss are clear about learning purpose;☐Ss are able to do the work but find it challenging;☐Ss are emotionally, physically and intellectually involved by the tasks;☐The presentation, variety and structure of the work and activities generate curiosity and interest;☐Ss have opportunities to ask questions and try out ideas;☐Ss can see what they have achieved and how they had made progress;☐Ss get a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment from the work.Q: What causes discipline problems?⏹ A gap in the lesson (e.g. bad planning, equipment fails to work)⏹Unclear instructions⏹Lack of teacher attention⏹The teacher concentrates on lengthy explanations to one individual so that the others get bored ⏹Work is too easy or too challengingQ: What measures can we take for undisciplined acts and badly behaving students?☐Harmer (1983) p.811.Act immediately.2.Stop the class.3.Rearrange the seats.4.Change the activity.5.Talk to students after class.6.Create a code of behavior.⏹Ur‘s (1996) advice1.Deal with it quietly.2.Don‘t take things personally.3.Don‘t use threats.5.6 How to make questioning more effective?☐Questions should be closely linked to the learning objectives in the lesson;☐Questions should be staged so that the level of challenge increases as the lesson proceeds;☐There should be a balance between closed and open, lower-order and higher-order questions;☐Wait time is important to allow students to think through their answers;☐Ss should be provided opportunities to ask their own questions and seek their own answers;☐ A secure and relaxed atmosphere of trust is needed and ss‘ opinions and ideas are valued.5.6.2 What types of questions are there?( Classification of questions)1.Closed and open questions;2.Display and genuine questions;3.Lower-order and high-order questions;4.Bloom‘s taxonomy分类系统(Nuttall, 1982)①Knowledge②Comprehension③Application④Analysis⑤Synthesis⑥Evaluation5.7 Dealing with errorsQ: What are errors? How are they different from mistakes?☐ A mistake refers to ―a performance error that is either a random guess or a ‗slip of tongue‘, and it is a failure performance to a known system‖ (Brown, 2000: 218-219)☐An error has direct relation with the learner‘s language competence. Errors do not result from carelessness nor hesitation, but lack of knowledge in the target language.☐ A mistake can be self-corrected; an error cannot be.Q: How to deal with errors?☐In dealing with errors and mistakes we need to be clear whether the task or activity is focusing on accuracy or fluency.Q: When to correct errors?☐Generally, it is best not to interrupt students during fluency work unless communication breaks down.☐Let a trivial mistake pass if most of the language is right.☐For some common mistakes, take a note in mind first and correct after the student‘s performance.Q: How to correct errors?☐Different ways and techniques:⏹Direct teacher correction⏹Indirect teacher correction⏹Self-correction⏹Peer correction⏹Whole class correctionQ: Which techniques to use?☐As a general rule, indirect teacher correction is encouraged rather than direct ones to avoid damaging ss‘ self-esteem and confidence.☐In practice, self-correction is encouraged before teacher correction or peer correction, esp. for mistakes.☐The whole class correction is used for main error types (e.g.The Big Ten)Summary1.Roles of the teacher: controller, assessor, organiser, prompter, participant, resource-provider, facilitator,guide, researcher, etc.2.Classroom instructions: simple; suit the level of students3.Grouping: whole class work, group work, pair work, individual study4.Discipline: to engage ss in learning; how to maintain discipline, how to treat with undisciplined acts5.Questioning: different classifications; questioning techniques6.Error correction: error and mistake; different ways and techniques for correcting errorsUnit 6 Teaching PronunciationCritical Period Hypothesis: a biologically determined period of life when language can be acquired more easily and beyond which time language is increasing difficult to acquire.6.1 The role of pronunciation☐DebateSide A: students do not need to learn pronunciation because pronunciation will take care of itself as the students develop overall language ability.Side B: Failure in pronunciation is a great hindrance to language learning.Views of teaching pronunciation vary☐The Learners who have more exposure to English need less focus on pronunciation than those who only learn English in the class.☐Adult learners need more focus on pronunciation because they are more likely to substitute English sounds with sounds from their native language.☐The teaching of pronunciation should focus on the ss‘ ability to identify and produce English sounds themselves. (pronunciation vs. phonetics)☐Ss should not be led to focus on reading and writing phonetic transcripts of words, esp. for young students.☐Phonetic rules are helpful for ss to develop ability to cope with English pronunciation and they should be introduced at a suitable stage.☐Stress and intonation are important and should be taught from the very beginning.6.2 The goal of teaching pronunciationThe goal of teaching pronunciation is not to teach learners to achieve a perfect imitation of a native accent, but simply to get the learners to pronounce accurately enough to be easily and comfortably comprehensible to other speakers.The realistic goals of teaching pronunciation is as following:☐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.6.3 What aspects of pronunciation do we need to teach?Pronunciation is an umbrella term covering many aspects, beside sound and phone symbols, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm, of course ,these aspects are not isolated from each other, rather, they are interrelated.Q: How to achieve good pronunciation?☐Practice makes perfect☐Both mechanical practice and meaningful practice are beneficial.6.4 Practising sounds(List some methods of practicing sounds. )Mechanical drilling is boring and demotivating; it is important to combine drilling pronunciation exercises with more meaningful exercises that focus on whatever aspect of pronunciation is the focus of the lesson.Focus on a soundFocus on a individual sounds especially those sound that are difficult to learnPerception practice☐What is the goal of perception practice?⏹Developing the students‘ ability to identify and distinguish between different sounds.☐Examples of perception practice:⏹Using minimal pairs (with one sound difference): will/well; ship/sheep; light/night⏹Which order: bear, tear, ear⏹Same or different?

However, it should be noted that learning grammar itself is not the ultimate goal of learning English.7.2 Grammar presentationWhat are the major types of grammar presentation method?☐Three ways of presenting grammar in the classroom:1.The deductive method 演绎法reasoning from general principles to a particular caseThe deductive method relies on reasoning, analyzing and comparing2.The inductive method 归纳法method of logical reasoning which obtains or discovers generallaws from particular facts or examples3.The guided discovery method 引导式发现法Similar to the inductive method in that ss are induced to discover rules by themselves;But different in that the process of the discovery is carefully guided and assisted by the teachers and the rules are then elicited and taught explicitly.Each has merits and drawbacks. The best way is to vary methods in different situations.。

Revision Contents:Unit 1 Language and Learning1. What are the major views of language? What are their implications to language teaching or learning?Structural View: It sees language as a linguistic system made up of various subsystem: from phonological, morphological, lexical, etc. to sentence. 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.Teaching methods based on this view:the Audio-lingual methodTotal Physical Responsethe Oral ApproachSituational Language Teaching.Audiolingual approach: The teaching of a second language through imitation, repetition, and reinforcement. It emphasizes the teaching of speaking and listening before reading and writing and the use of mother tongue in the classroom is not allowed.The principal features of audiolingualism are an emphasis on structures in the language which can be learned as regular patterns ofverbal behavior and the belief that learning is a process of habit formation.Functional View: It sees language as a linguistic system but also as a means for doing things. Most of our day-to- day language use involves functional activities: offering , suggesting , advising, apologizing, etc. Therefore, learners learn a language in order to do things with it. To perform functions, learners need to know how to combine the grammatical rules and the vocabulary to express notions that perform the functions.Some of the language learning approaches and methods based on this view of language are: communicative approachesInteractional View: It considers language as 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 also need to know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative context.Some of the language learning approaches and methods based on this view of language are: Strategic interaction; communicative approaches.were immediately praised. This method is still used in many parts of the world today.Cognitive theoryIt seems to be largely the result of Noam Chomsky’s reaction to Skinner’s behavioural theory, which led to the revival of structural linguistics.The key point of Chomsky’s theory is reflected in his most famous question: if language is a learned behaviour, how can a child produce a sentence that has never been said by others before.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.According to the cognitive theory, learning is a process in which the learner actively tries to make sense of data. The basic technique associated with a cognitive theory of language learning is the problem-solving task.Constructivist theory--- represented by John DeweyLearning is a complex cognitive process in which the learner constructs meaning based on his or her own experiences and what he /she already knows.Implications for classroom teachingTeaching should be built based on what learners already know and engage learners in learning activities.It is believed that education is used to develop the mind, not just to rotate or recall what is learned.Teachers need to design activities to interact with learners to foster inventive, creative, critical learners.Teachers must balance an understanding of the habits, characteristics as well as personalities of individual learners with an understanding of the means of arousing learners’ interest and curiosity for learning.Socio-constructivist theory ----represented by VygotskyIt emphasizes interaction and engagement with the target language in a social context based on the concept of ‘Zone of Proximal Development’(ZPD) and scaffolding.Learning is best achieved through the dynamic interaction between the teacher and the learner and between learners. With the teacher’s scaffolding through questions and explanations, or with a more capable peers’ support, the learner can move to a higher level of understanding and extend his / her skills and knowledge to the fullest potential.3. Socio-constructivist theory of language learning emphasizestext or conversation and the ability to understand them (ability to express or to understand a topic logically and coherently by effectively employing or comprehending the cohesive markers used in the discourse /ability to initiate, develop, enter, interrupt, check, or confirm in a conversation) Strategic competence--- strategies one employs when there is communication breakdown due to lack of resourcesFluency---- one’s ability to ‘link units of speech together with facility and without strain or inappropriate slowness or undue hesitation Implications for teaching and learning:Linguistic competenceTeachers need to help learners----achieve accuracy in the grammatical forms of the language;----pronounce the forms accurately;----use stress, rhythm, and intonation to express meaning;----build a range of vocabulary;----learn the script and spelling rules;----achieve accuracy in syntax and word formation.Pragmatic competenceTeachers need to help learners---learn the relationship between grammatical forms and functions;---use stress and intonation to express attitude and emotion;---learn the scale of formality;---understand and use emotive tone;---use the grammatical rules of language;---select language forms appropriate to topic, listener, or setting, etc.Discourse competenceTeachers need to help learners----take longer turns, use discourse markers and open and close conversations;----appreciate and be able to produce contextualised written texts in a variety of genres;----be able to use cohesive devices in reading and writing texts;----be able to cope with authentic texts.Strategic competenceTeachers need to enable learners----to take risks in using the language;----to use a range of communicative strategies;----to learn the language needed to engage in some of these strategies, e.g. ‘What do you call a thing that/person who…’FluencyTeachers need to help learners-----deal with the information gap of real discourse;-----process language and respond appropriately with a degree of ease;-----be able to respond with reasonable speed in ‘real time”.3.What is communicative language teaching?Communicative language teaching began in Britain in the 1960s as a replacement to Situational Language Teaching. This was partly in response to Chomsky's criticisms of structural theories of language and partly based on the theories of British functional linguistics, as well as American sociolinguists.The goal of communicative language approaches is to create a realistic context for language acquisition in the classroom. The focus is on functional language usage and the ability to learners to express their own ideas, feelings, attitudes, desires and needs.Open ended questioning and problem-solving activities and exchanges of personal information are utilized as the primary means of communication. Students usually work with authentic materials in small groups on communication activities, during which they receive practice in negotiating meaning.This method is learner-centered and emphasizes communication and real-life situations. The role of the instructor in CLT is quite different from traditional teaching methods. In the traditional classroom, the teacher is in charge and "controls" the learning. In CLT the teacher serves as more of a facilitator, allowing students to be in charge of their own learning.4.Principles in communicative language teachingCommunication principle: Activities that involve real communication promote learning.Task principle: Activities in which language is used for carrying out meaningful tasks promote learning.Meaningfulness principle: Language that is meaningful to the learning supports the learning process.5.Strong version and week versionA weak version: Learners first acquire language as a structural system and then learn how to use it in communication.It regards overt teaching of language forms and functions as necessary means for helping learners to develop the ability to use them for communication.A strong version:Strong version: The strong version claims that ‘language is acquire through communication’. Learners discover the structural system in the process of learning how to communicate.It regards experiences of using the language as the main means or necessary conditions for learning a language as they provide the experience for learners to see how language is used in communication.5. List some of the communicative activities.1) Functional communicative activitiesIdentifying picturesDiscovering identical pairsDiscovering sequence or locationsDiscovering missing informationDiscovering missing featuresDiscovering “secrets”Communicating patterns and picturesCommunicative modelsDiscovering differencesFollowing directionsReconstructing story-sequencesPooling information to solve a problemSome main features of communicativeactivities (Ellis 1990)Students make use of materials6. No materials control Students work by themselves.5. No teacher interventionStudents are free to use all kinds of language forms and skills, not just certain forms given by teacher.4. Variety of languageConcentrate on what to do and what to say in the activity, not how to say certain forms.3. Content, not formA need to do something 2. Communicative desireA need to know something.---’an information gap’1. Communictive purposeThe six criteria7. The Task-based ApproachA task-based approach sees the language process as one of learning through doing. It stresses teaching with communication-focused teaching.The task-based approach aims at providing opportunities for the learners to experiment with and explore both spoken and written language through learning activities which are designed to engage learners in the authentic, practical and functional use of language for meaningful purposes.Task -based Learning offers an alternative for language teachers. In a task-based lesson the teacher doesn't pre-determine what language will be studied, the lesson is based around the completion of a central task and the language studied is determined by what happens as the students complete it.So it aims to provide learners with a natural context for language use．As learners work to complete a task，they have abundant opportunity to interact．Such interaction is thought to facilitate language acquisition as learners have to work to understand each other and to express their own meaning．By so doing，they have to check to see if they have comprehended correctly and，at times，they have to seek clarification．By interacting with others，they get to listen to language which may be beyond their present ability，but which may be assimilated into their knowledge of the target language for use at a later time．Task presented in the form of a problem-solving negotiationbetween knowledge that the learner holds and new knowledge7. What is a task?Any one of the following definitions is ok:A task is “a piece of work undertaken for oneself or for others, freely or for some reward. Thus examples of tasks include painting a fence, dressing a child. In other words, by ‘task’ is meant the hundred and one things people do in everyday life, at work, at play and in between”.-------- Long (1985)[A task is] an activity which require learners to arrive at an outcome from given information through some process of thought, and which allows teachers to control and regulate that process. ------ Prabhu (1987)… a piece of classroom work which involve learners in comprehending, manipulating, producing or interacting in the target language while their attention is principally focused on meaning rather than on form. ----Nunan (1989) Tasks are always activities where the target language is used by the learner for a communicative purpose (goal) in order to achieve an outcome.”A task is an activity in which students use the target language to do3. What is curriculum?A curriculum, however, provides (1) general statements about the rationale about language, language learning and language teaching, (2) detailed specification of aims, objectives and targets learning purpose, and (3) implementations of a program. In some sense, a syllabus is part of a curriculum.Syllabus is often used to refer to something similar to a language teaching approach, whereas curriculum refers to a specific document of a language program developed for a particular country or region.4. Designing principles for the National English Curriculum1) Aim for educating all students, and emphasize quality-oriented education.2) Promote learner-centeredness, and respect individual differences.3. Develop competence-based objectives, and allow flexibility and adaptability.4) Pay close attention to the learning process, and advocate experiential learning and participation.5. Attach particular importance to formative assessment, and give special attention to the development of competence.6. Optimize learning resources, and maximize opportunities forLockstep refers to the time when all the students are under the control of the teacher. They are all doing the same activity at the same rhythm and pace. Lockstep is adopted when presenting new language, give explanations, check answers, do accuracy-based reproduction, or summarize learning.Advantages:It reinforces a sense of belonging among a group of members. When students are doing the same activity together, everyone feels being together with others.It is good for teachers to give instruction and explanation together and it is an ideal way to show materials and do presentations together.Disadvantages:Everyone is forced to do the same thing at the same time and at the same pace. Individuality is not favored in this sense.Not everyone has the opportunity to express what they want.Some students feel nervous and anxious when they are asked to present in front of the class.It favors the transmission of knowledge from teacher to students rather than students discovering things by themselves.It is not a good way to enhance real communication. Students cannotcommunicate with each other in this sense.2) pair work: the time when students work in pairs on an exercise or task. It could be a dialogue reading, a game or an information-gap task between two students.Advantages:It dramatically increases students’speaking time in each class.It allows students to work together rather than under the teacher’s guidance.It allows teacher’s time to work with the week pair while others are working on their own.It can promote cooperation between students.It can create a more relaxed and friendly context for students to learn.It is relatively quick and easy to organize.DisadvantagesIt is often very noisy and teachers are afraid of losing control of the class.Some students may talk in native language or something not related to the topic. It is not very easy for teachers to monitor every pair.Some students may not like to work with the peers, and they thinkthey can only learn from the teacher. So they refuse to participate in the activities.The choice of a pair is also a problem. Some students don’t like to work with particular partner while someone may dominate all the time.3) group workGroup work refers to the time when students work in small groups.Advantages:Like pair work, it dramatically increases the amount of talk of individual students.There is always a great chance of different opinions and contributions to the work.It also encourages cooperation and negotiation skills among students.It promotes learner autonomy by allowing students to make their own decision rather than follow the teachers.DisadvantagesLike pair work, it is likely to make the classroom very noisy and some teachers feel very uncomfortable with the noise.Not everyone enjoys the work since many of them prefer to work with teachers rather than peers.Some students may dominate the talk while others may be very passive or even quiet all the time.It is difficult for teacher to organize. It may take a longer time for teachers to group students and there may be not enough space for students to move around in classroom.Some groups may finish the task fast while some may be very slow. So teachers need to prepare the optional activities for the quick group and be ready to help the slower ones all the time.4) individual studyIndividual study is the stage where the students are left to work on their own and at their own speed.Advantages:It allows students free time, style and pace to study on their own.It is less stressful compared with whole class work.It can develop learner autonomy and form good learning habits.It can create some peaceful and quiet time in class.DisadvantagesIt does not help a class to develop a sense of belonging. Students learn by themselves and it does not promote team spirit.It may not be very motivating for students.To stimulate recall of informationTo challenge studentsTo assess learning6. Classification of questionsQuestions have been classified using different criteria, mainly based on the level of thinking involved in answering the questions.Closed v.s open--- Closed questions refer to those with only one single correct answer while open questions may invite many different answers.Display v.s genuine--- Display questions are those that the answers are already known to the teacher and they are used in checking if students know the answers, too. Genuine questions are those which are used to find out new information and more communicative.Lower-ordered v.s high-ordered--- Lower-ordered questions refer to those that simply require recalling of information or memorisation of facts while higher-ordered questions require more reasoning, analysis, and evaluation.7. How to deal with errors?The distinction between mistakes and errors:A mistake: a performance error that is either a random guess or a “slip of tongue/pen”, it is a failure performance to a known system. A mistake has nothing to do with the language competence.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.When to correct：accuracy-based activities；fluency-based activitiesHow to correct：Direct teacher correctionIndirect teacher correctionSelf correctionPeer correctionWhole class correctionSelf-correction is encouraged before teacher correction or peer correction because if it is a mistake, the student himself/herself will be able to correct it.Indirect teacher correction is encouraged rather than direct teacher correction to avoid damaging students’ Self esteem and confidence.what order would you teach and practice the sound? On the line tick the steps that you think are necessary. In the brackets, write the order numbers.Focus only on those sounds which are causing difficulty to the students. The following steps may be helpful in teaching the difficult sounds:1) Say the sound alone, but this may be avoided wherever possible.2) Say the sound in a word.3) Contrast it with other sounds if necessary.4) Write words on the board only when it becomes necessary to make your point clearer.5) Explain how to make the sound when necessary.6) Have students repeat the sound in chorus.7) Have individual students repeat the sound.6. List some methods of practicing sounds.Minimal pairsWhich orderOdd one outCompletionSame or different?Unit 7 Teaching Grammar1. Read the following statements about grammar in English learning and decide if you agree with them or not.1) Students need to be given detailed grammar rules if they want to learn a foreign language successfully.2) Children do not learn grammar rules when they acquire their first language, so they do not need them either when learning a foreign language.3) If students get enough chance to practice using a foreign language, they do not need to learn grammar.4) Making students aware of grammatical information is one of the teaching objectives, allowing students opportunities for using the language is just as important.5) Grammar should be taught to help students to analyze difficult structures in texts.6)Teaching and learning grammar should focus on practice rather than the study of grammar itself.7) Grammar should be taught and practiced in context.8) Knowing grammar is not enough for real communication.an isolated way; Little attention is paid to meaning; The practice is often mechanical.However, the deductive method is not without merits. It could be very successful with selected and motivated students. It could save time when students are confronted with a grammar rule which is complex but which has to be learned. It may help to increase student’ confidence in those examinations which are written with accuracy as the main criterion of success.The inductive methodThe teacher provides learner with authentic language data and induces the learners to realize grammar without any form of explicit explanation. It is believed that the rules will become evident if the students are given enough appropriate examples. After presentation, the students are invited to apply the newly presented 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.It is believed that the rules will become evident if the students are given enough appropriate examples.It is believed that the inductive method is more effective inmodels and drills the new grammarcorrects mistakes (self-correction)uses a variety of controlled practice activities, of increasing difficultymakes students thinkuses exercises in the text bookgoes over any problem areasP3The teacher: lets the students produce the language organises free activities with a clear structure and aims monitors and corrects any mistakes later, with studentsWhich P? （Presentation, practice or production）1) Students write a diary about what they did last week (using the past simple).　Production2) The teacher uses a timeline to show how to use the past continuous.　Presentation3) Students discuss what food they would cook for a foreign friend (using the third conditional).Production4) Students fill in the gaps with the correct form of the present tense.　Practice5) The teacher uses flashcards to elicit the correct form of the passive.　Practice6) The teacher writes example sentences in a substitution table to show how to form the present perfect.　PracticeUnit 8 Teaching Vocabulary1. What does knowing a word involve?1) The form2) How it is pronounced3) How it is spelt4) Denotative meaning5) The connotations that the item may have6) The situations when the word is or is not used7) How the word is related to others8) Collocation or the way that words occur together9) What the affixes may indicate about the meaning? (the prefixesand suffixes)2.Implication for teaching vocabularyWe now understand that knowing a word involves far more than just remembering its pronunciation and translated meaning. As teachers, we need to develop vocabulary learning activities based on our understanding of the lexical system of English to help students learn vocabulary more effectively. The following are some of the implications we can draw: Both denotative and connotative meaning need to be learned;Words are better understood in context;A group of related words is likely to be more memorable than a list of unrelated items, i.e. words learned with synonyms, antonyms or hyponyms;Knowledge of word formation is a useful source for developing vocabulary.Exploring sense relations among/between words help with learning and remembering words.Teachers and learners need to be aware of the difference between receptive and productive vocabulary.3. Receptive vocabulary and productive vocabulary.Receptive /passive vocabulary refers to words that one is able torecognize and comprehend in reading or listening but unable to use automatically in speaking or writing.Productive/active vocabulary refers to those that one is not only able to recognize but also able to use in speech and writing.4. List some ways of presenting new words1) Try to provide a visual or physical demonstration whenever possible, using pictures, stick drawings, photos, video clips, mime or gestures to show meaning.2) Provide a verbal context to demonstrate meaning. Then ask the students to give meaning first before it is offered by the teacher.3) Use synonyms or antonyms to explain the 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 on what is already known.7) Teach vocabulary in chunks. Chunks refer to a group of words that go together to form meaning. It is also referred to as ‘prefabricated formulaic items’ (Lewis, 2002:121)8) Think about the context in real life where the word might be used. Relate newly-learned language to students’ real life to promote high motivation.9) Think about providing different context for introducing new words.10) Prepare possible misunderstanding or confusion that student may have.6.What does a teacher do after presentation?Try to provide opportunities for students to use multiple senses such as visual, auditory, action, etc, to get familiar with the newly learned words.Engage the students in variety of activities, such speaking, listening, reading, writing or acting, using multiple senses.To create meaningful and personalized tasks for the students to use the words in their own ways.Remember, a word can not be learned by only being presented to the students, often it has to be encountered at least seven times in different contexts/tasks before it can be learned by the students.5. How to consolidate vocabulary?Labeling: Students are given a picture. They are to write the names of objects indicated in the picture.Spotting the difference: Students are put into pairs. Each member of the pair receives a picture which is slightly different from his partner’s. Students hide the pictures from one another and then, by a process of describing, questioning and answering, discover what the differences are.Describe and draw: Students are put in pairs. One student has a picture, the other a blank piece of paper and a pencil. The student with a picture must tell his/her partner what to draw so that the drawing ends up the same as the original picture. The student must not show the picture until the drawing is completed.Playing a gameUsing words series: Students construct the series following an example.Word bingoWord association: The teacher says a key word, e.g. traveling. The students then have to write down all the words they can think of connected with traveling. They have a time limit. When time is up, the person with the highest number of acceptable words is the winner.Synonyms and antonyms: The students are given a list of words。
