This document summarizes an action research project on using oral languaging to improve student writing in Italian. The researcher had students record oral reflections on written feedback for their first draft compositions. Most students agreed that reflecting orally on errors helped them understand grammatical, vocabulary, and other issues. By coding errors, the researcher found students corrected an average of 71% of errors on the second draft after doing oral reflections. The conclusions were that oral reflections helped students process feedback and improve accuracy from one draft to the next.

This lesson plan is from an intermediate oral skills class of adult learners. The focus of the lesson is on reviewing pronunciation of vowels as well as using note-taking for comprehension and discussion.
The jury is in! Converging research calls for stand-alone English Language Development (ELD) for all ELs up to proficiency. But what does this mean? What does it look like? How do you start? We’ll look at research, resources, and approaches to bring about this seismic change in what we do.
Have you ever wished that you could enrich your Oral Communications classes with more personally enriching material to unlock your students’ speaking skills? Public speaking skills in a second language are a powerful confidence builder. However, developing these skills is a process which requires a careful build-up of various abilities. There are few materials which provide insight as to how to teach these skills step-wise to adult Second Language Learners.
Techniques for integrating public speaking into Oral Communications courses, engagement of the student audience as evaluators, and preparation of outstanding slides are some of the topics covered in this interactive program. Model presentations, evaluation forms and feedback techniques will be made available. Participants will take away tested, easily implementable techniques to turn Oral Communications students into confident presenters, with the potential to exceed the performance of native speakers.

This presentation introduces a new approach to error correction that features the use of colors as a code. Using colors to highlight patterns in students’ errors allows them to readily notice their strengths and weaknesses in grammar. This enhanced awareness focuses attention and motivates students to develop their grammatical accuracy.
L2 pragmatics: politeness in French EFL classroomsShona Whyte
TESOL France presentation (Whyte & Siddiqa, 2016)
Interlanguage pragmatics is considered one of the major communicative skills. However it has been rarely a focus in traditional classrooms that focus on lexico-grammatical functions, and second language (L2) speakers often fail to approximate native-like norms. The present study focused on supporting EFL teachers in the teaching of interlanguage pragmatics in secondary schools, with a particular emphasis on requests.

Regarding the importance of the term corrective feedback, this study was an attempt to investigate probable impacts of explicit and implicit corrective feedbacks on learners’ levels of grammatical range and accuracy in their language learning and production. One-hundred pre-intermediate EFL learners, with an age range of 18-26, were participated in this study. They were assigned into four groups: one control group who received no treatment and three experimental groups who received three different types of corrective feedbacks (recast, error code, and explanation). The outcomes of the present study confirmed the efficacy of explicit feedback strategies than that of implicit and suggested that learners who used explanation as an explicit corrective feedback strategy achieved higher scores than those who used recast and error code feedback strategies.
Good English writing competence is widely recognized as an important skill for educational, business and personal reasons. So, English writing instruction has an important role in foreign language education. In this regard, extracted and edited from his MA thesis, the purpose of the researcher in this study was to decide on the degree of emphasis on micro skills for writing classes based on the frequency of error occurrence. The first step for carrying out the research was to analyze the essays of a pilot group (i. e., 30 students) to provide the researcher with a rough checklist of the most frequent types of errors. Then the researcher administered the instrument to a random sample of university students' essays that were majoring in TEFL, Literature and translation in Islamic Azad University, Roudehen Branch. The analysis of the sample obtained 13 types of errors and the researcher applied the obtained checklist to categorize the errors committed by all 300 subjects of the research. To do this the researcher used descriptive and qualitative method to gather the research data without manipulating the research context. Based on the occurrences of errors, the researcher presented a hierarchy of error types and suggested some strategies in the process of pre-writing, writing and post-writing.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Oral Languaging in Writing Feedback
1. Oral Languaging in Writing
Feedback:
An Action Research Project
Matteo Musumeci,
Graduate Teaching Assistant
(Italian)
Northern Arizona University
2. Research Problem
• Thesis: Teachers and students benefit from feedback
that pushes them to process their language mistakes
deeply.
• Metalinguistic and reflective feedback given on
writing is important for improving the quality of
writing (Bitchener & Knoch, 2009; Ferris, Liu,
Sinha, & Senna, 2013; Truscott & Hsu, 2008;
Erlam, Ellis, & Batstone, 2013)
• Recommendation: Oral languaging (i.e., reflecting
orally) on writing feedback (Suzuki, 2012)
3. Oral Languaging Defined
Oral languaging, as adapted from
Suzuki’s (2012) research = oral
reflection on language mistakes.
Real-time recording of oral
reflections and indicate specific
corrections for a second draft.
4. Background Research
Shintani and Ellis (2013) discuss the positive effects of
metalinguistic feedback on students’ writing compositions
versus direct feedback.
Ferris, Liu, Sinha, and Senna (2013) explore the usefulness
of written corrective feedback and conclude that written
corrective feedback is useful for writing students.
Bitchener, Young, and Cameron (2005) indicated how
written corrective feedback and conferencing with students
showed significant gains in students’ writing accuracy.
5. Background Research (cont.)
Erlam, Ellis, and Batstone (2013) illustrated how graduated
feedback (versus direct feedback) promoted students’ self-
correction, depending on teacher perceptions of which
feedback technique to employ.
Suzuki (2012) employed the process of written languaging
(i.e., descriptive explanations of errors) and found that this
process:
• showed significant gains in learners’ knowledge of
language errors committed on compositions, and
• led to increased accuracy and writing skill development.
6. Research Questions
1. Does the process of oral languaging improve
students’ writing accuracy on a second draft?
2. What are students’ perceptions of oral languaging
during the writing and revision process?
7. Methods – Participants
• 19 undergraduate students in Italian 102 at Northern
Arizona University
• The majority of students have taken Italian 101
while some students have had more experience in
Italian (i.e., study abroad, high school courses)
9. Methods – Instruments and
Procedures
• Step 1: Assign the composition topic, discuss the research
project, inform the students of their rights and
responsibilities, and illustrate examples of sound recording
tools to use to complete their oral reflections.
• Step 2: Collect compositions and provide written corrective
feedback in the form of descriptions of language errors as
Comments in Word. For example: “What verb tense do you
need to use here for the first-person singular subject ‘io’”?
• Step 3: Return compositions with revisions and assign due
date for oral reflections (3 days after first draft is returned).
10. Instruments and Procedures
(cont.)
• Step 4: Have students reflect orally using
a sound recording tool while they are
making their corrections. It is expected
that students will indicate specific
corrections they will integrate in their
second draft.
• Step 5: Distribute “Perception
questionnaire” to students using Google
Forms and collect perception data
electronically.
11. Examples of sound recording
tools
• I-Phone or Android phone voice
recorder (audio)
• http://www.vocaroo.com (audio)
• PhotoBooth (available on Mac,
audio and/or video)
• QuickTime (video and/or audio)
• Google Voice (audio)
12. Methods – Coding
• Coded students by assigning them an ID number
• Counted errors on second draft and compared them to
the first draft
• Counted oral reflections

13. Language Errors by Category
• Classified each language mistake into 10 categories:
• V = Verb agreement error (e.g., Io parli, should be “Io parlo”)
• SP = Spelling error (e.g., coretto, should be “corretto”)
• VOCAB = Vocabulary or word choice error
• SS = Sentence structure error (S-V-O and structure errors)
• N = Number agreement error (e.g., le matita, should be “la”)
• G = Gender agreement error (e.g., la papà, should be “il”)
• VT = Verb tense error (e.g., Ho studio, should be “ho studiato”)
• ART = Article use error (e.g., il studio, should be “lo studio”)
• PREP = Preposition error (e.g., in il, should be “nel”)
• SYN = Syntax error (e.g., incorrect accent: é = is, should be è)
20. Conclusions
• Reflecting orally on language mistakes seems to improve student
writing (RQ1). Average of all language errors corrected: 71%
• A majority (> 50%) of the students agreed or strongly agreed
that reflecting orally on language mistakes helped them think
about these major areas (RQ2):
• Grammatical errors (88%)
• Vocabulary errors (76%)
• Spelling errors (58%)
• Organization of writing (59%)
• Content of writing (71%)
• Language errors (70%)
• General improvement in writing in Italian (76%)
21. Considerations and
Recommendations
• Students find it easy to record their oral reflections
• The teacher only needs to listen to students’ oral
reflections instead of reading them
• Oral reflections truly help students understand their
mistakes and make corrections on a second draft
• There are many resources for students to use to record
their oral reflections, most of which are free
• The teacher must thoroughly explain the process of oral
reflecting and give concise examples
