Fairness in language testing
The document discusses the concept of fairness in language testing from the perspectives of various stakeholders. It argues that fairness cannot be defined from a single viewpoint, as what seems fair to students may not be for parents, teachers, or policymakers. The author advocates for multiple testing formats and scoring approaches to accommodate differences and give equal freedom to students, teachers, raters, parents, and other stakeholders to ensure overall fairness.

Carrying a baby in the back
This document discusses the relationship between language and culture from different theoretical perspectives. It argues that language and culture shape each other through conceptual metaphors that are influenced by physical experiences within a culture. While some semantic primitives may be universal, their meanings can vary across cultures. The document provides an example of how failure to understand meaning can arise from differing cultural perspectives. It concludes that language both transmits universal concepts but is also adapted according to emerging conceptual metaphors within a culture, and this relationship should inform how teachers approach language.

Taking the critics to task
This document discusses criticisms of task-based language teaching (TBLT) and attempts to address misconceptions about it. It notes that while TBLT has received support, it has also faced considerable criticism. However, criticisms often assume TBLT is a single method when it is actually a broad approach. The document outlines differences between various proposals for TBLT and argues they have been mischaracterized as not including grammar, not suitable for beginners, or entirely learner-centered. It also discusses problems implementing TBLT in Asia, such as teachers' limited proficiency and traditional roles, structural constraints, and students' orientation to learning. Overall, the document advocates for addressing issues in implementing TBLT rather than

1) The document discusses closing the growing technological gap between upper and lower classes to address issues of inequality. It proposes using technology as a tool to decrease financial burdens on lower classes and elevate their living standards.
2) Issues of inequality like those related to social class have historically led to conflicts and revolutions when lower classes feel oppressed without representation. Education is presented as a way to overcome stereotypes and extremism.
3) Solutions proposed include renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and education to provide skills and moderate cultures while raising standards of living. This may decrease conflicts by addressing root causes of inequality.
Creative activities in other preschool curriculum areas
This document discusses creative movement activities for preschoolers. It notes that in creative movement, children are free to express themselves through dance and body movements without any set patterns or need to imitate others. The goals of creative movement include relaxation, expressing ideas through space and time, improving coordination, and developing aesthetic sensitivity. Music is often used to inspire movement, and children are encouraged to move in whatever way feels natural in response to different types of music.
Relationship-Based Model and the Importance of the Infant and Toddler Years
The document discusses a book about infant and toddler development and responsive program planning. The book's goals are to promote well-being, competence, good developmental outcomes, and quality of life for infants, toddlers, and their families. It emphasizes that constructive, caring relationships are fundamental to development and that responsive care is essential for children's sense of security, self-worth, and motivation to learn. The document summarizes several chapters from the book about the importance of relationships, brain development, core concepts of development, changing demographics, and early education programs.
Infant toddler curriculum

2. Teachers are encouraged to closely observe infants through engagement and all senses to understand their development, needs, and interests in order to be highly responsive and support attachment.
3. Curriculum planning is an ongoing reflective process of observing, documenting, assessing, and discussing with families to continuously adapt to each child's unique learning and development.
Lesson plan
This document outlines the 8 steps to developing an effective lesson plan for early childhood education. It explains that lesson plans should include: 1) knowing the age and context of implementation, 2) understanding the activity, 3) how to implement the activity, 4) an evaluation method, 5) safety considerations, 6) curriculum integration, 7) input from evaluators, and 8) self-reflection. Each step provides examples of the types of information that should be included in a lesson plan to ensure educational objectives are met and children's safety, learning, and development are supported.
Task based syllabus
Task based syllabus based on Krahnke's (1987) book: "Approaches to Syllabus Design for Foreign Language
Teaching. Language in Education: Theory and Practice"
Pre school
The document discusses the Creative Curriculum approach used in some preschools. It is a play-based, child-centered model where learning occurs through free play in 11 activity centers. The only teacher-directed time is a small group activity of 15-20 minutes. Assessment is only through teacher observation. However, when these preschoolers entered kindergarten, most had very limited skills in letters, rhyming words, and numbers, calling into question the effectiveness of the Creative Curriculum approach.
5 e lesson plan format
The document provides information about the 5E instructional model and includes an example lesson plan on kinetic and potential energy using the 5E framework. The 5E model includes five stages: Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation. It is designed to engage students and help them make connections between prior knowledge and new concepts. The example lesson plan engages students with a pendulum demonstration, has them read about and identify kinetic and potential energy, create a foldable to compare the two energy types, and complete an exit ticket assessment.
The Creative Curriculum Model (Diane Trister Dodge, 1988)
The Creative Curriculum model was founded by Diane Trister Dodge in 1988 and is based on the theories of theorists like Piaget, Erikson, Maslow, and Vygotsky. It focuses on five key beliefs: constructive play, social competence, relationships as the foundation for learning, linking curriculum and assessment, and family partnerships. Research studies have found it to be an effective model, with children in Creative Curriculum classrooms showing greater gains. Professional development is available to support ongoing learning about implementing the curriculum. The environment is divided into interest areas to support learning across domains.
Critical pedagogy
This study explored how professors implement critical pedagogy in their post-secondary classrooms. The researchers interviewed 17 professors about their classroom practices and definitions of critical pedagogy. Key findings included that professors employed practices like community building, dialogue, and experiential activities, but did not always explicitly connect these practices to social justice aims. The study concluded that critical pedagogues need to more clearly demonstrate how their practices aim to incite social change and consider strategies to address critical pedagogy's justice-oriented nature.
Creative curriculum project
The document discusses the Creative Curriculum approach used in some pre-schools. It is a play-based curriculum where learning takes place through child-led play across 11 activity centers. Assessments are only teacher observations. However, when these students entered kindergarten, most lacked basic skills like knowing the alphabet, rhyming words, and numbers. The conclusion is that the Creative Curriculum approach may not adequately prepare children for the more structured curriculum of kindergarten.
Language and Culture
This document provides tips for teaching culture and language. It discusses the relationship between culture, language and thought. Some key points made are that language expresses, embodies and symbolizes cultural reality. It also discusses identifying different speech communities, the influence of gender on language, differences between spoken and written language, understanding meaning in context, identifying speech acts, understanding the concept of "face", and recognizing communication styles and registers. The document provides research and suggestions for what teachers can do to help students understand these concepts.
