Paul Sandrok Workshop
See handout at http://www.slideshare.net/WuPing/paul-sandrok-workshop
笔记:
1. When designing a unit, think of 3 modes of communication and authentic tasks;
Eg. School and education – surviving guides, research websites, tour of campus, Skype/penpal
(texting is interpersonal; some can be both modes, depending on the task)
Presentational work: grades are based on whether students have polished their work or not
Task: compare many schools and decide on which one to go to
2. Tweak the tasks to suit the level of students;
School website (for novice):
What do you expect to see in a Chinese school website?
How many teachers do they have?
Any sports?
3. Make the tasks authentic;
Eg. Instead of asking people for their schedules, have students find out who has the busiest
schedule for the day
或者 task on vacation destination
给学生一些资料便于交流,不是空谈;例如让学生选择图片中一些自己的度假方式
give students pictures to talk about
provide patterns (a variety of questions) to keep conversation going
give students slips of example questions 对话停下来的时候抽出一张问题卡,让学生
小组自己抽也可以
an authentic task: come to an agreement on must-do plans with friends 前面的活动都是
为了最后的任务做准备
4. How to assess students? Proficiency pyramid, see the new standard

5. How to move students forward to a next level? Think about the resources, questions you ask
and assessment
Novice to Intermediate:
1. create with the language (use memorized language to express personal feeling,
such as making a persuasive speech)
2. ask questions to follow up what the other student said (teach students
conversation jointers)
3. produce sentences and put them together to create a series of sentences
4. show evidence of self-editing (ask students to proofread before turning in work;
give students a set number of patterns to focus on when they proofread)
Intermediate to Advance
1. narrate and tell stories by connecting sentences and ideas
2. describe by adding details
3. organize thoughts by using cohesive devices and chronology 学会问问题把对话
进行下去是中级的重要表现
4. express points of view by giving reasons and opinions
5. use language more spontaneously and independently
6. Time-saving tips: ask students to look for resources as hmwk and explain why they picked that
piece
