Chapter 1
This document discusses listening in language learning.

It also prompts discussion of memorable English lessons.
Listening skill - Learning and Acquisition of English as Foreign Language
This document discusses listening as an important skill in language learning. It defines listening as an interactive process using prior knowledge and linguistic knowledge to understand messages. The acquisition of listening requires sufficient language exposure where meaning can be inferred. Various types of listening tasks and performances are described, as well as the listening process involving top-down and bottom-up approaches. The teaching of listening is outlined as involving pre, during and post listening activities. Nation's four strands of balancing input, output, language focus and fluency in teaching are also summarized. The document concludes that listening is a complex skill that requires practice and evaluation to develop consciously.
Types of speaking
What is speaking?
• Speaking is the second of the four language skills, which are listening, speaking, reading and writing.
• It involves talking or giving speeches
Informative Speeches
• In an informative speech, a speaker communicates knowledge about a specific topic to an audience.
• A speaker should possess a thorough knowledge of the subject about which they are speaking in their informative speech.
• Informative speeches can be about objects, events, processes, or concepts.
• The more specific and focused your topic, the easier it is for you as a researcher and speech writer (and for your audience) to understand your topic.
Persuasive Speeches
• In a persuasive speech, a speaker attempts to persuade the audience to adopt his/her position in relation to a topic.
Keypoints to remember:
A persuasive speech intends to persuade the audience to adopt the position of the speaker
Know your audience
A speaker gives a persuasive speech to convince the audience to take on his/her position regarding a certain topic. A persuasive speech might contain a call to action, whereby the speaker attempts to persuade members of the audience to perform a certain action, or to convince the audience to adopt a specific point of view on a certain topic.
Persuasive speeches commonly contain lots of pathos.
• Pathos is an appeal to the emotions of the audience.
• Political speeches are examples of persuasive speeches heavy with pathos. By appealing to emotions through references to "freedom" or "patriotism," politicians seek to gain the audience's vote.
• Empathize with the audience to demonstrate that you are like them - that you understand how they feel and what they think.
Special Occasion Speeches
• Some special occasions require speeches which will be different than a speech that intends to inform or persuade an audience.
• Special occasion speeches tend to be shorter speeches, commonly less than ten minutes
• Special occasion speeches are commonly addressed to a particular audience.
• Depending on the context, special occasion speeches can be funny or sad.
• Special occasion speeches are usually shorter than informative or persuasive speeches. Special occasion speeches are usually less than ten minutes long, which demonstrates that their purpose is different than other types of speeches delivered at a conference or political rally. Depending on the context, the purpose of a special occasion speech may be to remember, to praise or to humorously tease. They may contain a use of pathos that aims to convince the audience to be happy, possibly by being comedic. However, they may use a pathos intended to make the audience reflective, as in a speech given at a memorial service.

Chinese Cutural Value And Their Influence On Chinese Learning And Teaching
This document provides an overview of Chinese cultural values and their influence on learning and teaching traditions. It discusses the Confucian emphasis on education and its role in societal development. Key Chinese values identified include abasement, respect for authority, continuity in relationships, and harmony. Traditionally, learning involved rote memorization, an examination focus, and an authoritarian teacher-student relationship. However, more recent discussions note that students can be reflective rather than passive and that relationships involve responsibility and morality beyond formality. The conclusion is that understanding involves both memorization and deeper reflection.
How to be successful at learning Chinese
This document provides tips and guidance for students learning Chinese as a foreign language. It outlines necessary school supplies and emphasizes the importance of practicing Chinese characters regularly, using online learning programs, and posting characters around the home for frequent viewing. Students are also encouraged to find links and patterns between characters, speak Chinese in front of a mirror, and listen to vocabulary and sentence recordings to improve pronunciation. The overall message is to be positive and enjoy learning Chinese.

This study examined the motivation of 145 learners of Chinese using self-determination theory. Students were divided into 3 groups: Chinese-Chinese, English-Chinese, and Non-Chinese. Questionnaires assessed motivational orientations, psychological needs, engagement in learning, and community engagement. Results showed the Chinese groups felt higher relatedness and language use than the Non-Chinese group. Self-determined orientations did not consistently predict language use. The study provides implications for supporting intrinsic motivation in pedagogy and directions for future research exploring heritage language learners in more depth.
Chinese Learning Effectivness
A study on the expectation of Chinese learners, in order for them to learn in most effective ways. Comparison between employees and graduate students on their effective learning behavior.
Learning chinese is easy
The document discusses why learning Chinese is beneficial and easier than expected. Some key points are:
1) Learning Chinese can provide competitive advantages in business, as China's economy grows and Mandarin is becoming more important.
2) Understanding Chinese culture is facilitated by speaking the language, and traveling in China and Taiwan is easier with Mandarin skills.
3) The pronunciation of Mandarin uses a system called pinyin that represents the sounds of spoken Chinese with Latin letters, making it easier for non-native speakers to learn than directly linking characters to sounds.
4) While Chinese has a large set of characters, there is a systematic method to how they are formed and composed of elements
Assessment for Learning (Chinese language program)
This document discusses assessment for learning versus assessment of learning. Assessment for learning involves students in the learning process, uses clear targets, and provides continuous feedback to improve learning. It focuses on the process of learning rather than ranking students. In contrast, assessment of learning determines students' competence, ranks students, and has no emphasis on improving learning. The document provides examples of how to implement assessment for learning, including involving students in setting goals and criteria, using feedback, self-assessment, and designing authentic tasks. It emphasizes that assessment for learning should not be optional but rather an essential part of instruction.
Teaching Students with Emojis, Emoticons, & Textspeak
This document discusses how emojis, emoticons, and text speak can be used to teach students. It provides background on the origins of emoticons in 1982 as ways to convey tone and feelings in text communications. It then suggests that with text speak and emojis, students can translate, decode, summarize, play with language, and add emotion to language. A number of websites and apps that can be used for emoji-related activities, lessons, and discussions are also listed.

Basic Chinese (Mandarin) Language Course
This document provides materials to teach Mandarin Chinese to Peace Corps invitees, including 15 audio lessons and accompanying scripts. It covers basic greetings, introductions, numbers, food/drink, directions, time, family and other everyday vocabulary and phrases. Grammatical structures are kept simple, focusing on subject-verb-object word order and using question particles instead of word rearrangement. Tones are indicated using diacritical marks and their meanings distinguished. Pinyin romanization is used to represent pronunciation.
Basic Mandarin Chinese | Lesson 1 | Grasp the tones in Mandarin!
This document provides an introduction to Mandarin Chinese tones. It explains that each syllable in Mandarin has a distinct tone and identifies the four tones using diacritical marks - high level (first tone), rising (second tone), falling-rising (third tone) and falling (fourth tone). It illustrates each tone using the syllable "ma" with different meanings depending on the tone. The document provides exercises to practice identifying the tones of words like "mother", "horse" and reinforces learning with feedback. It concludes with a brief section on the history of China.
Chinese language
Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used writing system in the world. They are logograms used in Chinese and other Asian languages. Chinese is now one of the six official languages of the United Nations and has earned greater status worldwide, despite not being the only language spoken in China. Learning Chinese provides opportunities for business, travel, and cultural enrichment as it allows you to communicate with many in China and Taiwan.

Ppt by-xizhen-qin
This document discusses integrating behavioral culture instruction into teaching Chinese language. It argues that language and culture are inseparable, and that the most important goal of learning Chinese is effective communication, which requires understanding of behavioral culture. Behavioral culture includes everyday practices, manners, greetings, and relationships. The document recommends using activities like role-plays and immersive materials to teach behavioral culture in a hands-on way. Students provide feedback that this performance-based approach helps their listening comprehension and cultural understanding compared to traditional textbook methods.
History of Language Teaching
This document discusses the history of language teaching approaches. It begins by defining language and examining different views of language, such as the structural, functional, and interactional views. It then outlines several historical approaches to language teaching, including the Grammar Translation Method (1850s-1950s), Direct Method (Berlitz method, early 20th century), Audiolingual Method (1950s), and Communicative Language Teaching (1980s). It also discusses related methods such as the Situational Language Teaching, Total Physical Response, and humanistic approaches like Community Language Learning and Suggestopedia. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding the theoretical underpinnings of different approaches in order to effectively teach language.
Presentation On language Awareness
This document discusses language awareness and its importance in language learning. It defines language awareness as a person's sensitivity and conscious understanding of how language works and its role in human life. The document outlines how increasing students' language awareness can help them better understand, appreciate, and use the language. It provides examples of classroom activities that can be used to develop language awareness, such as examining grammatical structures, styles, word choices, and reading/pronunciation strategies. Current research is continuing to explore the role of language awareness in education.
Standards of Practice For English Language Teaching
This document discusses the issues around requiring native English skills for English teachers. It argues that the traditional focus on "native speakerism" is declining as English has many varieties and the teacher is no longer the primary source of language input. While native teachers have strengths like pronunciation and cultural knowledge, non-native teachers have experiential knowledge and understand students' first language. The document recommends that all teachers be properly accredited and meet language standards, and that the focus be on equitable, culturally-appropriate teaching practices rather than a teacher's native status.
Language teaching methods (1)
The document outlines 12 different language teaching methods:
1. Grammar-Translation focuses on accuracy over fluency through translation and grammar rules.
2. Cognitive Approach sees language as a set of skills learned through meaningful practice rather than memorization.
3. Audiolingual Method views language as habits formed through drill and repetition with immediate error correction.
4. Direct Method avoids translation and uses only the target language through demonstration and activities.

Language issues in elementary education in India, Bhutan and Finland
This document discusses the importance of language and a child's mother tongue in their education and development. It outlines several key points:
1) Developing strong language skills in a child's mother tongue helps develop their identity and leads to better educational outcomes like understanding the curriculum. It also makes learning additional languages easier.
2) Using a child's mother tongue in education improves self-esteem, parent involvement, and academic performance. It allows skills to transfer rather than be re-learned.
3) Mastering the four language skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening in one's mother tongue is important for developing communication abilities and logical thinking. It also fosters creativity and knowledge acquisition.

It is Possible! - Positive Communication and Literacy Outcomes for All Childr...
Plenary from the Special Education Principal's Association of New Zealand (SEPANZ) conference 2011.
This presentation will outline the rationale and principles underlying the balanced literacy approach. This approach ensures that schools provide children with daily opportunities to engage in four key areas of literacy learning: guided reading for vocabulary and language comprehension skills, word instruction for phonics and sight word skills, self-directed reading for learning to choose books and read for pleasure, and writing instruction for targeting written language skills. All of these are critical for children with disabilities to develop conventional reading and writing skills. Specific strategies and adaptations will be outlined. Multi-level activities, which can be implemented with all students in a classroom, will be highlighted, as will ideas for older students who are beginning readers. The authors will discuss their recent experiences with school-wide model literacy programs. All students, regardless of their abilities, have the right to an opportunity to learn to read and write. This presentation will demonstrate how you and your school can make that happen.

Language as Communication explores oral and written language. It defines language as a system of signs used for communication and discusses the estimated number of languages spoken worldwide, with English having a global reach. Oral language comes naturally to humans and allows for immediate feedback, while written language is distinct from oral communication. The document examines elements of both oral and written language and their role in human communication.

informative
Chinese characters originated from pictograms, simple ideograms, compound ideograms, and semantic-phonetic compounds. Pictograms depicted objects directly, while ideograms represented abstract concepts. Later characters combined existing characters to indicate meaning or sound. Over time, methods of recording language evolved from knotted ropes to carved inscriptions to the modern characters still used today. Chinese characters meet design requirements as a written language by being recognizable, reproducible, symbolic, and able to represent spoken language.
TEYL/EYL STKIP Siliwangi 2017
This document discusses teaching English to young learners. It begins with defining key terms like TESL, TEFL, and the differences between them. It then discusses characteristics of young language learners, noting that they have shorter attention spans, learn through play and movement, and imitate their teachers. The document also discusses some myths around language learning, like that more exposure equals faster learning. It suggests the most important skills to teach young learners are speaking, listening, singing songs and playing games. Overall, the document provides an overview of concepts and approaches for teaching English to young learners effectively.
