Learning strategies
The document discusses various active learning strategies that can be used in lectures to engage students. Some of the strategies presented include opening questions to focus students on the topic, think-pair-shares to facilitate sharing of ideas, focused listing to recall prior knowledge, brainstorming to make creative connections, inserting question slides to check for understanding, note checks to compare information, and two minute papers to summarize key points. These strategies encourage student participation, help instructors assess learning, and promote retention of the material.
Content-based teaching/learning
This document discusses content-based language teaching/learning. It explains that content-based learning involves using topics of interest to students as the medium for teaching both subject matter content and the target language. Students are more intrinsically motivated to learn when studying meaningful content in the target language. Examples of content-based curricula include immersion programs, sheltered English programs, and writing across the curriculum. The document provides an example activity on saving water where students research ways to save water and design posters in groups to encourage water conservation.
Think pair-share strategy
The document describes the think-pair-share strategy, which involves students thinking individually, pairing up to discuss their ideas, and then sharing with the larger group. It is designed to encourage participation and ensure all students share their thinking. The key steps are for students to first think alone about a given problem or question, then pair with one other student to discuss their ideas, and finally reconvene as a larger group where pairs report their conversations to the class. The goal is to provide opportunities for both individual and shared thinking.
Learning Strategies
The document discusses learning strategies and their importance for language learning. It defines learning strategies as specific actions taken by learners to make learning easier, faster and more effective. Some key learning strategy types include cognitive, metacognitive, memory and social strategies. Successful language learners actively involve themselves in the learning process, develop awareness of language as a system and means of communication, and accept the emotional challenges of learning. While some strategies are more stable, others can be changed based on the learning task. Studies show strategies can improve language skills if used appropriately for the person, task and context.
Situational approach
This document presents an overview of the situational approach to teaching English as a foreign language. It was developed in the 1930s by British applied linguists Harold Palmer and A.S. Hornby. The key characteristics are that the target language used is that of the classroom, materials are introduced orally in real or imagined situations, and new vocabulary and grammar points are taught in context. The approach aims to help learners learn language for use in real situations rather than just learning rules. Examples are given to illustrate its use and advantages include improved accuracy, pronunciation, and ability to communicate in speech situations.
Interactive Teaching Strategies
This document discusses interactive teaching strategies to engage learners of all styles. It identifies the main learning styles as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Interactive teaching involves both the facilitator and learners, with questions and hands-on activities to stimulate discussion. Group work is highlighted as an effective strategy, as learners retain more when they discuss and apply the material. A variety of interactive techniques should be used to maintain interest, assess understanding, and make the session participatory.
Pedagogy of English
Teaching learning materials are supportive tools for effective and meaningful in teaching and learning process. Under such material, the role of print media is vital in developing language skills.
Diversity in classroom
The document discusses teaching strategies for diverse classrooms, noting that teachers should use various instructional methods to accommodate different types of students, promote equality and diversity, and create a supportive learning environment for all. It provides examples of strategies like using group activities and discussions, incorporating students' cultures into lessons, addressing bullying, and fostering cooperation among students. The key aspects of teaching in diverse classrooms are creating a respectful and inclusive environment, having high expectations for all students, and taking a collaborative approach to learning.

Washback
Washback refers to the influence of testing on teaching and learning. There can be positive or negative washback effects. Positive washback occurs when tests encourage good teaching and learning tasks. However, negative washback can result in learner anxiety, teaching focused on testing techniques rather than language, and a narrowed curriculum focused only on what is tested. To achieve beneficial washback, tests should assess the abilities wanted to encourage and sample topics widely in an unpredictable manner using direct testing of objectives. Washback hypotheses propose that high-stakes tests with important consequences will influence what and how teachers teach and learners learn.

Classroom Rules & Routines, and Teacher Moves
This document discusses the importance of establishing rules, routines, and teacher "moves" in classroom management. It notes that teaching does not come naturally and requires consciously developed systems to control student behavior. Effective classroom management involves addressing competing ideals through rules and routines, such as treating students the same versus responding to individual needs, encouraging independence versus ensuring all students learn core content. It is difficult for new teachers because they lack experience noticing student behavior, establishing authority, and understanding diverse learners. The document emphasizes that even with planning, lessons may not go perfectly, so teachers need practiced "moves" to quickly redirect students without disrupting instructional flow.
Collaborative and cooperative learning
Collaborative learning involves students working together to achieve learning goals or complete projects. It is a natural social process where students share ideas and solve problems together. Collaborative learning allows for freedom, creativity, and diverse outcomes. It is based on principles like making students the focus, emphasizing interaction and practical application, working in groups, and addressing real-world problems. Benefits include improved higher-order thinking and preparation for social and work situations. Cooperative learning is a more structured approach where students work in teams under more direction from the teacher.
Grammar-Translation Method
This document discusses methods for teaching English, beginning with definitions of method and approach. It describes the grammar-translation method, which was commonly used in Pakistan. This method focuses on translating English texts word-for-word into the native language. While it helps with vocabulary and comparing grammar structures, it fails to develop English speaking, writing, pronunciation or cultural understanding. The document also briefly outlines the direct method and audio-lingual method before focusing on criticisms and suggested improvements for the grammar-translation approach.
Communicative Approach
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.
TASK BASED LEARNING
Task-based language learning involves presenting students with meaningful tasks to complete rather than focusing on language structures. A task requires students to use language to arrive at an outcome and engages cognitive processing. Effective tasks mirror real-world activities like talking to a doctor. This approach motivates students and gives them confidence to use the language. It also exposes them to a variety of natural language through collaboration. Teachers take on roles like preparing students and raising consciousness of language used. Students work in groups and provide feedback to one another, taking risks and innovating with language. While it can encourage ambitious language use, some students may rely too heavily on others and large classes present implementation challenges.
Inductive Method
The document discusses the inductive teaching approach. It explains that with this approach, the teacher presents students with examples to help them induce and notice patterns and derive rules on their own. Students analyze examples to make comparisons and generalizations. This leads them to form rules with the teacher's guidance. They then practice applying the rules with more examples. This approach encourages active student participation and engagement in the learning process.
ROLES OF TEACHERS
There are several roles that teachers can take on in the classroom. The most common is the controller, where the teacher leads activities from the front by taking attendance, giving instructions, and reading aloud. Other roles include the prompter, who encourages student creativity and participation sensitively; the participant, who stands back and allows students to work independently while providing feedback; the resource, who offers guidance by answering student questions; and the tutor, who combines advising and organizing to create an enhanced classroom atmosphere. Overall, the document discusses that while teaching is challenging, it can be very rewarding, and teachers have varying views of themselves and their profession depending on the roles they take on.
Teaching materials and resources
The document discusses various teaching resources and materials that can be used in the classroom, including coursebooks, the board, visual aids, technology, and alternatives when resources are limited. It provides advice on using different resources effectively, such as maintaining eye contact when writing on the board and including pre, during, and post viewing activities for videos. The document also considers the benefits and drawbacks of relying heavily on coursebooks for teaching.

- 4. Drilling: The Theory • Based upon the ‘behaviourist’ model of language learning • Included with an ‘audiolinguistic’ approach to language teaching • Continuous practice will make perfect!
- 5. Benefits of Drills • It develops learner confidence • Helps learners get their tongues round new words • Picks up pace and maintains student attention • Develops ability to produce and understand connective speech • Less confident students can take part and not get embarrassed
- 6. Drawbacks of Drills • Drilling not looked upon as communicative and more ‘Pavlovian’ • It is didactic • Other teachers consider drills as boring • Students could just sit back and hide behind others • It can hurt!!!
- 7. Why Should We Drill? • Drilling is essential for pronunciation practice • Drilling helps with the automisation and memorisation of language chunks • Drilling can be seen as a step towards fluency • Drilling, if done correctly, can work well
- 8. Activities in Practice • Circle drilling • Silent drilling • Emotional drilling • Volume controlled drills • Traditional drills
- 9. Circle Drilling • Prepare a number of flashcards • Get students to sit in a circle • Get faster and faster during the activity
- 10. Silent Drilling • Prepare a dialogue: “In a post-office” “Hotel reception” • Act the dialogue and pronounce words silently • Repeat each utterance until correctly guessed by learners • Then get learners in pairs/groups to repeat the dialogue
- 11. Emotional Drilling • Prepare various pictures showing differing emotions • Prepare separate cards with target vocabulary • Drill target vocabulary as normal without emotion pictures • Then drill the vocabulary again with the emotion pictures
- 12. Volume Controlled Drills• Drilling varying the volume • Start off soft and then build up to a ear- shattering noise • YLs really enjoy this type of drilling, but then again so could adults • It is very easy and requires very little
- 13. Traditional Drills • Nominated drilling: the teacher nominates students to repeat • Choral drilling: getting the whole class to drill at the same time • Substitution drills: substituting key vocabulary with prompts
- 14. Video: Drilling With Asian Learners • Watch the video of Rachael teaching YLs • Afterwards, discuss the video with a partner
- 15. Questions for Reflection• When is the best time to incorporate drilling? • How frequently do you use drilling in your classes? • Do you think a focus on pronunciation is a necessary part in every class? • Do you think drills are a useful technique in class and affect student pronunciation? • How comfortable are you at drilling exercises?
