Direct Method (DM) of Language TeachingAyesha Bashir
Direct Method (DM) method is language teaching method. Through this method students are directly taught with target language without using native language.
The document discusses three key views of the nature of language: structural, communicative, and interactional. It also covers definitions of learning, theories of language learning including process-oriented and condition-oriented theories, and differences between approaches, methods, and techniques in language teaching. The structural view sees language as a system of related elements, while the communicative view sees it as a vehicle for expression of meaning. The interactional view regards language as a tool for social interaction.
Language policy in education refers to the official rules governing language use in education systems. These policies vary between countries and within countries based on population language(s), history, culture, and politics. In India, language policy in education has been significant given its multilingual nature. Major education commissions and policies in India have recommended using regional languages as the medium of instruction up to grade 5 and introducing English and Hindi afterward to promote multilingualism and national unity while preserving cultural diversity. An effective language policy is important for equity, improved learning outcomes, multilingualism, cultural preservation, and social cohesion.
1. Discrete point testing refers to testing language skills and components individually, one at a time, such as testing a single grammatical structure.
2. Examples of discrete point tests include multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, true/false questions, spelling tests, and tests of phoneme recognition.
3. Discrete point tests are easy to score objectively but take more time and energy to create and do not capture real-world language use.
The document discusses strategies for developing the four macroskills of language learning: receptive skills of listening and reading, and productive skills of speaking and writing. It emphasizes that language learning involves acquiring these skills through meaningful, interactive practice. Students must learn strategies for intake of input and output of the language. Integrating the four skills into lessons is advantageous because it mirrors real-world language use, adds variety, and allows for recycling of language. Lessons should balance skill practice throughout their introduction, practice, and revision stages.
The document discusses different types of materials used in language teaching, including authentic, created, and technological materials. Authentic materials are examples of real-world language produced for genuine communication rather than language teaching. Created materials are specially developed teaching resources like textbooks and worksheets. The document also discusses the benefits of using authentic materials in language teaching by exposing students to real-world language input. It provides examples of different types of authentic materials like printed texts, visual materials, listening materials, and realia. Finally, the document discusses how materials should be designed to promote task-based language learning, outlining five key characteristics of tasks according to Nunan. Teachers are assigned to design their own language learning task by the due date of May
The document discusses materials development in language learning. It defines materials as tools or resources used for teaching and learning a language. Materials development refers to the design, implementation, and evaluation of language teaching materials. The roles of materials include presenting language, providing practice activities, and serving as a reference. Authentic materials from real-world sources are discussed as well as textbooks. Factors to consider in evaluating and selecting textbooks include how they match learner and teacher needs and program goals.

Materials development for language learning and teachingBike
The document discusses the history and evolution of literature on materials development for language learning. It covers several key topics:
1) The types and purposes of instructional materials.
2) The growth of publications on materials development, evaluation, and adaptation from the 1970s to present.
3) Frameworks and guidelines for evaluating materials, moving from checklists to more principled approaches considering context and beliefs.
4) Reports on evaluating currently used materials and adapting materials to make them more suitable for different contexts and learners.
5) Calls for more research on the actual effects of materials on learners and the processes involved in writing materials.
Fostering early language and literacy development in infants is important for future learning. While infants are not born knowing language, they are born with the ability to communicate and acquire language through meaningful interactions with caregivers from birth. Describing daily activities, telling stories, singing songs, asking questions and sharing books can help infants develop important pre-reading skills and lay the foundation for literacy. Engaging infants in dialogue and providing new experiences supports language development and emergent literacy skills that benefit children as they grow.
Mother Tongue Based - Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in PhilippinesDåLé Rǝnomǝron
This document discusses mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. It defines key terms like mother tongue and multilingual. MTB-MLE uses the children's mother tongue in the classroom to facilitate learning Filipino and English. The goals are to develop cognitive skills to operate in different languages, and to preserve Philippine culture. The Department of Education implemented MTB-MLE for 12 languages, and recently added 7 more dialects. Benefits include reduced dropout rates, repetition, and increased student attendance and learning. Not using the mother tongue can lead to learning difficulties and loss of heritage language and culture.
Suggestopedia is a language learning method developed in the 1970s by Georgi Lozanov that uses suggestion and relaxation to allow students to learn up to 3-5 times faster than conventional methods. It involves presenting material through dramatic readings accompanied by music to help students relax and learn easily and fun. Students then review the material through passive listening with quiet readings and uplifting music in the background to optimize learning without effort. The method is reviewed through games and puzzles.
The communicative language teaching approach focuses on having students use language for meaningful purposes through real-world situations. It developed out of dissatisfaction with audiolingual and grammar-translation methods that did not teach practical language use. Under this approach, teachers create situations requiring communication, rather than repetitive drills, and act as facilitators rather than leaders. Lessons center on topics and functions useful for real life, using dialogs, tasks, songs and games to encourage natural language practice and development of communicative competence.
The document discusses the four macro skills of communication: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It states that these are the fundamental skills needed to learn any language. When learning a new language, one must engage in balancing practice across all four of these skills. The skills that are not practiced will be weaker. The document then provides more details on each individual skill.
The document discusses language arts and its key components. It notes that language arts incorporates four skills - reading, writing, listening, and speaking - as well as visual literacy. It emphasizes that these skills are interrelated and should not be taught discretely. Some tips provided for teaching language arts effectively include incorporating modern technologies, focusing on tasks over errors, and using portfolio-based and project-based assessments. Examples of classroom activities that engage multiple language arts skills, like shared reading and word sorting, are also outlined.
This document discusses using real-world objects or "realia" in English language teaching. It defines realia as using real items from the world to help teach English. Some key benefits are that realia makes lessons more memorable by linking words to objects, stimulates the mind, grabs students' attention, and promotes speaking practice. The document provides examples of how to use realia, such as having students physically examine objects, role play with objects, or read maps. While realia makes lessons more interesting, it also requires preparation and could lose the class' focus if misused. Overall, the conclusion is that realia is worth the effort to engage students.
The Grammar-Translation method is a traditional method for teaching foreign languages that uses translation and grammar rules as the core activities. It originated in the late 19th/early 20th centuries for teaching Latin and Greek. Key features include using the native language for instruction, memorizing vocabulary lists and grammar rules, translating texts word-for-word, and focusing on the form and structure of language over communication. While easiest for teachers and least stressful for students, it is ineffective for teaching communication skills and comprehension.
This document discusses authentic materials in language teaching. Authentic materials are any materials not specifically produced for language teaching. They can include TV, films, news, weather forecasts and more. Using authentic materials has advantages like motivation, cultural knowledge, and preparing students for the real world. However, there are also disadvantages such as requiring more preparation time and potentially difficult language demotivating students. When selecting materials, teachers should consider factors like content suitability, familiarity, and how the material supports learning objectives. Overall, authentic materials offer students practice with real language use and promote learning how language is actually used.

This document discusses issues related to materials used in English language teaching (ELT). It notes that commercial materials play a central role in most language instruction worldwide. While many publications on materials focus on design and development, the field remains under-researched. Course books in particular are still ubiquitous globally, though they have disadvantages like not meeting local needs and contexts. The document also discusses debates around global versus local materials, how teachers adapt to curriculum changes, and the impact of technology on ELT materials.
Introduction into the roles of course books in the classroom, the advantages and disadvantages of their use, and how to evaluate and adapt course books to a specific teaching-learning context.
The document discusses four common approaches to language teaching:
1. Grammar Translation focuses on grammar rules, translation, and reading literature but neglects speaking skills.
2. Direct Method uses only the target language and teaches speaking first through visual aids and situations.
3. Audio-Lingual Method develops listening and speaking habits through repetition and drills before reading/writing.
4. Total Physical Response links language to physical actions to make learning enjoyable and reduce stress for beginners.
This document discusses Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), an approach that emphasizes using the target language for meaningful communication. It focuses on functions of language, provides opportunities for students to negotiate meaning, and engages students in role-plays, dialogues, and other interactive activities. While CLT had early successes, it was later criticized for excluding grammar instruction and failing to develop student accuracy. The approach also faced issues with cultural adaptation and commercialization. The document concludes by discussing communicative approaches as an evolution of CLT that balances functional language use with different classroom techniques.
This presentation focuses on teaching reading through information and communication technology (ICT). It discusses the nature of reading as either extensive or intensive. Extensive reading focuses on meaning and fluency, while intensive reading focuses on language skills and comprehension. The presentation also provides principles for designing interactive reading activities, such as including specific reading skills instruction and balancing authenticity with readability. It explores using ICT like computers and the internet in teaching reading, noting both advantages like attracting students' attention, and disadvantages like difficulty controlling the class. Guidelines are given for successful computer-assisted reading instruction in the classroom.
Factors that influence second language acquisition and learninglislieroyo1
This document discusses several key factors that influence second language acquisition, including motivation, attitude, age, intelligence, aptitude, learning styles, and personality. Motivation is one of the most important factors, and can be either integrative, relating to interest in the language and its culture, or instrumental, relating to practical uses of the language. Other important influences include a learner's attitude towards the language and its community, their age and any critical periods for language learning, general and multiple types of intelligence, as well as their language learning aptitude, style, personality traits like inhibition, anxiety and empathy.
This document discusses different approaches and methods for teaching foreign languages. It defines key terms like method, approach, and components of a method. It then provides an overview of several well-known language teaching methods from different time periods, including Grammar Translation, Direct Method, Audiolingual Method, and some Humanistic/Designer Methods like the Silent Way and Suggestopedia. Each method is influenced by theories of language and language learning and incorporates different syllabi, teaching practices, materials, and assessments.
The document discusses the six language arts: reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and visually representing. It notes that the language arts cannot be taught in isolation and often involve more than one skill. It asks the reader to consider activities students could do related to a video of the Three Little Pigs and which language arts each activity would belong to.
Teachers use four instructional approaches - literature focus units, literature circles, reading and writing workshops, and thematic units - to engage students in authentic language learning. They take on complex, multidimensional roles, differentiating instruction to meet student needs through choices, small groups, centers, integrating all language arts, and incorporating projects. Assessment is also differentiated and authentic, using observations, conferences, checklists and portfolios to evaluate students' development and inform instruction, with the goal of helping all students succeed.

The Question is the Answer: Making the Language Arts Classroom Meaningful wit...darinjohn2
Ashley Jorgensen, Price Laboratory School, UNI
This presentation will focus on developing a curriculum built around inquiry-based units of instruction in a secondary language arts classroom. Audiences will have the chance to see evidence of how the use of essential questions can lead students into a process of inquiry, giving them the skills they need to think critically, question the world around them, and broaden and deepen their perspectives by connecting with others. Audiences will embark on a journey that takes them through a course entitled, ‘The American Teenager,’ and see the activities, assessments, and instructional strategies that transformed this course from a traditional study of American Literature to a course that is relevant, engaging, and challenging for teenagers in the 21st century. Through essential questions like ‘How do societal expectations impact our identity?’, ‘What are the costs and benefits of conformity?’ and ‘Is the American Dream a reality for all?’, this course blends classic and contemporary, and combines writers like Sherman Alexie with The Breakfast Club, Henry David Thoreau with text messaging, and Catcher in the Rye with Jay-Z. Audiences will gain important techniques for creating a classroom built around student-led discussions, including Socratic Seminars and blogging, as well as see examples of competency based assessments fully aligned with the Iowa Core Curriculum and National Common Core Standards.
Language arts aims to teach students to proficiently communicate ideas through language. It includes four main components - listening, reading, speaking, and writing - to ensure students can use language in all forms. An effective language arts assessment uses various tools and methods, evaluates students on real-world tasks, occurs continuously over time, involves student collaboration, and focuses on what students have learned rather than what they cannot do.
Language is a complex system of communication that is unique to humans. It uses various systematic elements like sound and grammar to convey meaning. Sound patterns take on meaning when combined according to the rules of a language's grammar, where word order is critical. As a symbolic system, language evolves over time as new words are introduced and meanings of words change, allowing humans to articulate thought.

This document discusses teaching speaking as a foreign language. It begins with definitions of teaching and speaking and an overview of topics to be covered, which include the definition of speaking, the history of teaching speaking, types of spoken language, characteristics of spoken language, micro-skills of speaking, principles of teaching speaking, and techniques for teaching speaking in the classroom. It then explains the definition of speaking and provides a historical description of learning and teaching speaking, noting that speaking skills were traditionally learned through exposure and oral practice, and that the study of modern languages became part of school curriculums in the 18th century through academic study of grammar and translation.
This summary provides the key points from two documents about curriculum and English language education:
1. The first document discusses the importance of curriculum and how it is constantly changing to better prepare students for the future. It emphasizes that English should remain in primary school curriculum to give students access to important global information at a young age.
2. The second document outlines how English has power through its functions and subtle meanings. It explains that learning English can induce creativity and innovation, preparing students for future careers that require strong English skills in many professional fields.
3. Both documents stress that English proficiency is essential for students' future success and that curriculum should support early English language learning opportunities.
This document provides an overview of the revised 2006 Ontario curriculum for language education from Grades 1-8. It outlines the importance of literacy and language skills for students' intellectual, social and emotional development. The curriculum is designed to help all students become literate by providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to communicate effectively through listening, speaking, reading, writing and representing. It is organized around four strands: oral communication, reading, writing, and media literacy. The goals are for students to use language as a tool for learning, communication and participation in society.
Mother Tongue Based Multilingual education FrameworkEmyMaquiling1
This document outlines the key elements of the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) curriculum framework for basic education in the Philippines. It discusses the 14 domains of literacy covered in the curriculum, including oral language, phonological awareness, book and print knowledge, alphabet knowledge, and others. The goals of the MTB-MLE curriculum are to promote cognitive development, academic achievement, second language acquisition, and lifelong learning through the use of children's mother tongue in early education.
This document discusses literacy and its importance. It covers several topics:
- Literacy affects social development and life expectancy, as illiteracy is linked to poverty, poor social outcomes, and lower life expectancy.
- International Literacy Day is celebrated annually on September 8th to raise awareness of literacy issues globally.
- Literacy definitions have evolved over time and now include understanding various communication forms like pictures and video, not just reading and writing. Being literate involves having skills needed for a community.
Global language learning can improve communication skills, cultural understanding, career opportunities, tolerance, and creative and critical thinking. The teacher creates activities simulating real-world interactions emphasizing communication through listening, speaking, reading and writing in the target language. He uses authentic materials and exercises while providing opportunities for learners to understand and improve their communicative competence through developing learning strategies.
The document summarizes a presentation on primary language teaching. It discusses the benefits of learning languages at a young age, including the cognitive and social benefits. It provides examples of storytelling strategies that make language learning engaging for children, such as using actions, gestures, and songs to introduce vocabulary in a new language. The strategies are meant to scaffold children's understanding and promote literacy, thinking, and social skills development. The document advocates celebrating multilingualism and having a permanent language presence in schools.
Integrating currency, challenge and cultureZahra Mottaghi
This document discusses using authentic texts for language learning. It covers three main advantages: culture, currency, and challenge. For culture, authentic texts incorporate the target language culture and help learners build cultural schemata. For currency, authentic texts cover current topics and emerging language. They also better motivate learners. However, coursebooks struggle to represent diverse English cultures or learners' native cultures. The document proposes using local context-specific materials instead of global coursebooks. It also notes authentic texts provide intrinsically challenging but effective language input at all proficiency levels.
The document provides guidelines for inclusive language usage in Ecuadorian educational documents. It states that one of the Ministry of Education's objectives is to promote gender equity in society and education. To achieve this, it recommends using gender-neutral terms like "people" instead of "men" and "teachers" instead of "professors." When neutral terms do not exist, the masculine form should be used generically to refer to both sexes. This practice follows the Real Academia Española's recommendation and is meant to avoid overly wordy expressions while still recognizing both sexes. It is signed by the President and Education Minister of Ecuador.

This document discusses best practices for early language learning based on research. It outlines 10 key concepts for success, including that learners are active constructors of meaning, instruction is conducted consistently in the target language, lessons have a thematic focus, and activities provide opportunities for students to use the language. It also discusses models of language programs and anticipated proficiency outcomes based on program intensity and time. The overarching goals are for students to learn language and culture, develop respect for others, and work towards peace.
1. The document analyzes the National Curriculum for Foreign Languages (NAP) produced in Argentina in 2012.
2. The key concept developed by the NAP is a plurilingual and intercultural perspective for teaching foreign languages that considers the specific elements of each language and the sociocultural identity development of children.
3. The NAP is organized in four pathways of varying duration associated with school cycles, allowing flexibility in teaching one or more foreign languages over different cycles and combinations. It focuses on oral comprehension, reading, oral production, writing, language reflection, and intercultural reflection.
The document discusses various topics related to bilingualism and language teaching. It defines different levels of bilingualism, including monolingual, bilingual, and balanced bilingual. It also discusses codeswitching, how it is used by bilingual individuals, and strategies for teachers to manage codeswitching in the classroom. Finally, it provides resources on teaching codeswitching and the benefits of bilingual education.
This document discusses the nature and structure of language as well as the purpose of language teaching in secondary schools. It defines what constitutes a language and identifies the building blocks of language from phonemes to sentences. It also outlines some key properties of human language including that it is creative, structured, meaningful, and referential. The secondary English curriculum aims to develop students' communicative, cognitive, and academic competencies through a communicative, interactive, and collaborative approach to prepare them for global trends.
