Présentation about ecrif framework

1. Meaning
of ECRIF The ECRIF is a framework system of a way of
looking at how students learn a language. By
means of this framework system the teachers
can understand how they do the effective
foreign language learning, the object of this
method is to supply what to do or what not to
do, and in which style students can learn better.
By means of ECRIF, teachers can notice that to
what extent the teaching is fruitful and they
observe the approach of the students to the
target language.

2. Theory Behind the ECRIF Framework, who developed it and
its main uses:
The ECRIF framework is a
student-centered
instructional model
designed to guide
language learning through
progressive cognitive
stages. It was developed by
Josh Kurzweil and Mary
Scholl and is rooted in
constructivist learning
theories, particularly
Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal
Development (ZPD) and
Krashen’s Input Hypothesis.
 To teach contents/skills
communicatively
 As a framework for effective lesson
planning
 Focusing on the performance of
students in the learning process
and estimating their levels.
 Reflecting on actions that pass
after a lesson by contemplating on
students ‘learning (Freeman & Lier,
2016)

4. Encounter
This stage aims to
activate the Ss
schemata. Students
hear or see new
language and
realized they do not
know something. It
is the students who
encounter
something new.
Students realize
that there is a skill
or idea that they do
not know or do not
understand.
Clarify
Clarify is something
that happens inside
the learner; when
the learner can
determine for
example that the
meaning of a
vocabulary word or
pronunciation is
that it is this not
that, or that a
certain grammar
construction is used
here not there.
Remember
This is the first step
in committing new
material to memory.
It is usually
characterized by
repetition, drilling,
and referring back
to support materials
such as models or
prompts.

5. Internaliz
e
it is committed to
long-term memory.
After material or
information has been
internalized, learners
no longer has to refer
to support materials in
order to remember
because they can refer
to the information that
is stored in their own
memory.
Fluency
learners are using
new material and
information fluidly,
in accordance with
their current
understanding and
internalized grasp of
the material.

7. Merits
(ECRIF)
Demerits
(ECRIF)
•Student-Centered Learning:
-Focuses on how students learn rather
than just what the teacher does,
promoting active engagement.
•Clear Progression:
-The stages guide learners step-by-step
from encountering new information to
using it fluently, ensuring a logical flow.
•Flexibility:
-Adaptable to various teaching
contexts, language skills, and levels,
allowing teachers to customize lessons.
•Focus on Fluency and Understanding:
-Emphasizes both the understanding of
concepts (Clarify) and practical
application (Fluently use), catering to
holistic learning.
•Time-Consuming:
-Covering all stages in a single
lesson can be challenging,
especially with limited time.
•Planning Complexity:
-Requires careful preparation to
align activities with each stage,
which may be demanding for new
teachers.
•Risk of Overloading:
-If not managed well, students
might feel overwhelmed by
transitioning through all stages in
one session.
•Potential Rigidity:
-Strict adherence to the framework
might limit spontaneous learning
