Teaching writing
Teaching writing as a product or as a process? That is the question. Here you''l find easy tasks and techniques to teach writing to your students.
ELEMENTS OF POETRY
This document discusses various elements of poetry including symbols, structure, and themes. It provides examples of symbolic objects, colors, and flowers and their meanings. Structure in poetry can include alphabetic sequence, haiku, and free verse forms. Poems are often organized into stanzas and different verse forms like couplets, tercets, and quatrains. A theme is the overall statement or meaning behind the poem. An example poem by Langston Hughes about Coney Island uses sensory details to convey the theme of life being like rotten or sick things.
Genres Of Literature
This document categorizes and defines different genres of literature including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Fiction genres include fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, realistic fiction, science fiction, adventure, and folktales. Non-fiction genres include biography, autobiography, essays, encyclopedias, textbooks, how-to guides, magazines, research reports, almanacs, newspapers, atlases, memoirs, brochures, editorials, and advertisements. Poetry genres include free verse, structured poems like couplets, haiku, cinquain, diamante, acrostic, and biopoem.
Cooperative language learning
CLL is an instructional approach that uses cooperative learning activities in small groups. It is based on the idea that language learning is a social process that occurs through interaction. The key aspects of CLL include positive interdependence among group members, individual accountability, appropriate group roles and structures, and a focus on developing critical thinking and communicative skills through group work. The teacher takes on the role of facilitator by structuring collaborative tasks and monitoring groups.
Diction
The document provides guidance on analyzing diction and symbolism in literature. It explains that diction refers to word choice, and symbols represent larger ideas. Readers are instructed to identify emphasized words and ask why specific words were chosen, examine literal and implied meanings, and determine how word choices elaborate on themes.
English for Specific Purposes Syllabus
This document outlines the syllabus for an English for Secretaries course. The course aims to develop students' English language skills needed for administrative tasks in the workplace, including both oral and written communication. It covers topics such as writing business letters, CVs, reports and memos. It also focuses on skills like reading, listening, telephone communication, interviewing and receiving visitors. The syllabus lists chapter topics and activities that will be used to meet the objectives of helping secretaries improve their professional communication abilities in English.
The nature-of-speaking
1. The document discusses the nature of speaking and outlines several key components involved in speech production. It describes three main stages of speech production: conceptualization and formulation, formulation, and articulation.
2. It also discusses other important aspects of speaking such as self-monitoring and repair, automaticity, fluency, managing talk, and the knowledge that speakers require.
3. Additionally, the document differentiates between different types of spoken language such as monologue and dialogue, and identifies several factors that can make speaking difficult such as clustering, redundancy, reduced forms, and interaction.
Language description and functional Grammar
Functional grammar analyzes language based on choices and how grammar constructs meaning in context. It looks at analyzing experience, interaction, and message construction. Functional grammar in ESP deals with analyzing processes, participants, circumstances, mood, modality, and clause combining. Notional grammar expresses ideas and social behaviors that do not vary across languages. Functional grammar is useful for ESP as it focuses on actual language use and human thinking. Some advantages are that it provides an inventory of language elements and is based on factual study of language use.

ESP (English for Specific Purposes) Origin
This document discusses the origins and birth of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It traces how ESP emerged from the post-war growth of technology and commerce, which generated demand for an international language. As English became the dominant language in these fields, new learners sought to acquire English skills for specific professional reasons. Events like the 1970s Oil Crisis further commercialized English learning. ESP then developed to meet the precise language needs of various occupations and professions by designing content and teaching methods based on learners' goals.
SPE 108: Generating the Central Idea and Determining the Specific Purpose
The document provides guidance on developing an effective introduction for a speech, including determining the general and specific purpose, formulating a clear specific purpose statement, and crafting a concise central idea statement. It advises the speaker to clearly articulate their purpose and focus their speech around one distinct idea, while ensuring the purpose and central idea are relevant and understandable for the intended audience. Questions are also provided to help evaluate whether the specific purpose and central idea are suitable for the assigned speech.
Methods used in Teaching Language and Literature
The document discusses various methods used to teach language and literature, including the lecture method, audiovisual method, project method, flipped classroom, kinesthetic learning, differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, and game-based learning. It also covers several language teaching methodologies such as the direct method, grammar-translation method, audio-lingual method, structural approach, suggestopedia, communicative language teaching, community language learning, and task-based language learning. It concludes that no single method can guarantee success and teachers should consider factors like learner characteristics and needs when choosing methods.
Communicative Language Teaching
The document discusses Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), an approach to teaching second languages that emphasizes using the language interactively to communicate and perform meaningful tasks. CLT focuses on interaction as both the means and goal of learning, considers communicative dimensions beyond just grammar structures, provides motivation for learners, and centers around their interests and needs. Some key benefits of this approach include its holistic view of language, ability to motivate learners, and relevance in a world where communication technologies are increasingly important.

pptx_Eportfolio_Group1.pptx
The document discusses teaching English literacy in elementary grades through literature. It provides an overview of an e-portfolio created by a group of students on this topic. The e-portfolio covers general principles of teaching literacy at the elementary level and the significance of literature for teaching children. It also describes the group's collaborative process for researching and presenting their topics through a PowerPoint presentation and singing a song. The document emphasizes that teaching literacy helps develop students' knowledge, abilities, and appreciation for different cultures through exposure to literature.
Biographical approach and historical approach
This document discusses and compares the historical and biographical approaches to literary criticism. The historical approach examines the context surrounding the author and time period a work was created, and assumes the relationship between art and society influences a work. The biographical approach focuses on illuminating a work's meaning and intent through examining facts about the author's life. An example is then given analyzing Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn through both the historical context of Twain's life in Hannibal, Missouri, and biographical details. The document concludes by briefly introducing moral-philosophical approaches which interpret works within the philosophical context of their time period.
How to adapt-lessons
This document provides guidance on adapting assignments and assessments for English language learners. It discusses the differences between basic interpersonal communication skills (BICS) and cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP). It also outlines strategies teachers can use to modify their lessons based on students' proficiency levels and the four language domains of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Specific examples are given for adapting assessments and assignments for different proficiency levels on-the-fly or in advance. The overall message is that teachers should grade ELL students on content mastery over time rather than language abilities and use simplified assessments that match students' language skills.

In reading through the selected articles, I found that both Mathematics: Strategies for Teaching Limited English Proficient Students and Equity for Language Learners provided a comprehensive summary of considerations, accommodations, and strategies that teachers can utilize when teaching English language learners in their classrooms.
Two important points that I took away from the article Equity for Language Learners focused on identifying language goals and structuring language activities within the mathematics classroom. Both of these points were focused on in great detail in my SEI Endorsement course. As teachers, we need to understand the great deal of language that is associated with mathematics in order to structure appropriate learning experiences for our ELL students. The article discussed identifying language goals in addition to content goals. Having practiced this through my last course, I have found that this strategy really helps me to clearly identify how I want my students to express their understanding of content knowledge. As the article discussed, pairing content and language objectives helps teachers to identify the language structures that students need to display their understanding. When writing language and content objectives for my lessons, I try to make the languages objective mirror that content objective as closely as possible. The main difference between the two objectives is that the content objective focuses on what students will learn and that language objective focuses on how they will display their knowledge. F ...

SNAP Vocabulary
This document discusses improving vocabulary instruction in classrooms. It notes that simply having students look up words or study lists is ineffective for retention. Factors like increasing poverty rates and more rigorous academic standards require boosting students' vocabularies. The author discusses strategies they used successfully as a teacher, like having students find and record unknown words from their independent reading and share words in "word talks." The goal is for students to learn vocabulary naturally through reading and use, not just for tests.

Module 2-Second Language Acquisition.pptx
1. Second language acquisition refers to learning additional languages beyond a person's first language. It can occur in both children and adults.
2. There are differences between foreign language learning, which occurs in a community that does not speak the target language, versus second language learning, which takes place in a community where the target language is spoken.
3. Language acquisition occurs subconsciously through exposure and natural environments, resulting in better fluency, while language learning is a more conscious process typically involving formal instruction of rules which results in more knowledge about the language.

TSR Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol
The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) is an approach for teaching content to English learners. It focuses on preparing lessons with clear language and content objectives and using strategies like building background knowledge, providing comprehensible input, and promoting interaction. Lessons follow the elements of preparation, instruction, practice/application, and review/assessment to help students learn while developing English proficiency.
Differentiating Instruction
Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching that aims to maximize student growth and success by tailoring instruction to meet individual student needs. It recognizes that students have different backgrounds, readiness levels, interests and preferences for learning. Teachers differentiate content, process, product and the learning environment based on formative assessment of student needs. The goal is to challenge and support all students by matching instruction to where they are in order to help them learn effectively. Differentiation is not a single strategy but a philosophy of teaching through flexible use of multiple materials and strategies.
