CABE 2019: Biliteracy field developing strong dual language programs Rebecca Field
This workshop is for dual language (DL) administrators and teachers. First we define biliteracy, and explain why DL educators need to focus on biliteracy. Then we explore how different types of DL programs can organize for biliteracy, with attention to curriculum development and assessment planning. We discuss what counts as evidence of students’ biliteracy development, and articulate the kinds of biliteracy outcomes DL educators can expect.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course belongs to the linguistic area of the program of Licenciatura en Lengua
Inglesa. It is the first of two courses designed to develop not only linguistic competences
in the use of English but also metacognitive competences in the knowledge and awareness
of key concepts regarding the conversational competence in L1 and L2. Since the course
focuses on how communication works, participants of this course will explore the
characteristics of natural spoken interaction to take into account in teaching a language
and in evaluating learners’ performances. The course will encourage interaction through
language tasks in a variety of topics. There will be several activities involving reading,
speaking and listening. While working broadly on speaking and listening skills, we will
focus on two main areas. First, students will become aware of the conversational skills an
English Language user needs to engage in on-going, interactive process. Second, we will
tackle a variety of social situations that arise in daily life, which require developed
conversational skills and cultural knowledge.
GENERAL COMPETENCES
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:
1. Participate successfully in spontaneous conversational exchanges.
2. Identify and react appropriately to sociolinguistic, pragmatic and supra-segmental
aspects of oral discourse.
3. Produce and respond critically to clear, detailed and well structured oral descriptions and
presentations.
4. Construct a personal approach to the teaching of the speaking skill informed by current
theory and practice.
5. Show an acceptable degree of proficiency in oral production concerning a B2 level in
terms of range, accuracy, fluency, interaction and coherence.
6. Provide effective, relevant, reliable and objective assessment to their own and others’
performances.
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES
Reproduce English phonemes, word stress, and intonation with a high degree of
accuracy and without errors that interfere with communication.
2.
Employ an extensive vocabulary of common and specialized lexemes to construct
propositionally and linguistically complex sentences on concrete and abstract themes in
the field of ELT.
Formulate extended, continuous discourse employing complex lines of argument on
familiar topics.
Effectively employ linguistic and non-linguistic techniques in order to initiate, maintain,
intervene in, take and yield “the floor” and end conversations.
Paraphrase own and other speakers’ messages.
Deliver a lecture or talk within the field of ELT, provided the subject matter is familiar
and the presentation straightforward and clearly structured.
Participate actively in an animated conversation with one or more native speakers.
Participate fully in interviews, either as interviewer or interviewee, fluently expanding
and developing points of discussion.
Negotiate transactions and solutions to problems and conflicts.
Effectively use supra-segmental aspects of discourse (e.g. intonation, register, body
language, etc.) to convey indirect messages.
Respond, with a high degree of appropriateness, to verbal, non-verbal, and suprasegmental cues in order to make subtle adjustments in one’s discourse.
CONTENT AREAS TO DEVELOP

Final exam
* The date for the final exam is to be decided depending on the course development and
time issues
The timetable above presented can be subject of modification based on situations that
may arouse in the university.
4. METHODOLOGY
The methodology to be used in the course is based on the direct approach proposed by
Richards (1990 in Thornbury and Slade, 2006), which focuses on the explicit teaching and
awareness of conversational aspects to be identified, analysed and further used in real
life. There is a high level of awareness regarding elements of oral discourse and the
conversational skill. The program is also aligned with the top-down approach explained by
Thornbury as the theoretical analysis of oral text after it is heard or performed, applied in
a triad of instruction, exposure and practice , not necessarily in that order.
Students will be exposed to communicative situations in which they will interact with
specific purposes. Some interactions are prepared in advance, while others will foster
spontaneous speech. For the pedagogical component, students will plan and present
guided speaking lessons.
Students will develop their conversational and pedagogical skills through:
Spontaneous and prepared speeches.
Role plays and real plays.
Voice and video recording of oral performance.
Forum and debates.
Teachers’ and learners’ presentation regarding theoretical input.
Games brought by the teacher and groups of students to be implemented in class.
Lesson planning and performance
EVALUATION
Three types of evaluation will be implemented during the course:
Formative evaluation: this will be an ongoing process and students are expected to
take control of their own learning.
Summative evaluation: this includes quantitative data on what students have
achieved.
Metacognitive evaluation: students are expected to reflect on their own learning.
First partial evaluation: Theory, pedagogy and oral 20%
performance
Second partial evaluation: Theory, pedagogy and oral 25%
performance
Final evaluation: Theory, pedagogy and oral 30%
performance
In and out of class work (before week eight)
10%
In and out of class work (after week eight)
15%
The criteria for assigning numerical grades will be as follows:
0.0 Not presented or not accepted
3.5 – 3.9
Satisfactory (average) in
quality
1.0 – 2.9 Presented but below-standard
4.0 – 4.4 Above-average in quality
3.0 – 3.4 Achieves minimum standards
4.5 – 5.0
Excellent (of the highest
quality)
5. Students will evaluate and reflect upon their own learning and that of their peers, and will
evaluate the efficacy of the course by completing one or more questionnaires.

COURSE POLICIES:
Attendance policy: Your active participation is essential in the class. Thus, if you miss
classes, it is your responsibility to get updated with your classmates and hand in any due
assignment on the dates established. An absence is not a reason for time extensions in
the presentation of homework.
Use of electronic devices: Absolutely no use of electronic devices such as tablets,
laptops, mobile phones, etc. is permitted during class time for purposes different to
academic ones. That is, educational tools can be used, but actions like chatting, posting
on social networks, texting, pinning, etc. are prohibited. Besides, despite the fact that
technological devices could be used, your full attention to the class is requested.
Late work: No late work will be received during the semester except when the student
provides a medical or university excuse, which must be verified by the department of
Bienestar Universitario before submission. If you miss a class due to institutional
permissions, you must notify the instructor at least two weeks before the event providing
the proper documentation.
Requests and inquiries: Show respect whenever you request or ask something to the
professor in both oral and written interaction (e-mail). Wait until the classes end to talk to
the professor about personal issues. Do not do it starting the class or during it.
6.
Others: In case you cannot stay all the class time due to strong reasons, let the
professor know by e-mail at least one day before, not at the beginning of the class;
support such permissions with written evidence if possible. Homework and class work
must be presented with high standards of quality (legibility, clarity, organization, etc.).
Use pen for handed in papers in class. Avoid plagiarism when using sources from the
Internet and theory.
