[Group 7] Stages of ESP Course Design: Identifying and Conducting Steps of Ne...Marlin Dwinastiti
Group 7 analyzed the need assessment process for an ESP course. They identified the target population as students, teachers, and school personnel. The steps included identifying purposes, describing the population and environment, finding problems and solutions, assessing needs through classroom and extracurricular activities, and reaching conclusions. The analysis considered environmental, personal, language, and professional factors about learners as well as their current skills, lacks, needs, and how to communicate in their target situation. Instruments were used to assess these needs.
The document discusses different factors to consider when teaching language learners of various ages and backgrounds. For children, it notes they learn quickly through seeing, hearing, and touching, and enjoy talking about themselves. Teenagers are described as sometimes problematic but capable of abstract thought, and motivated by peer approval. Adults are said to engage well with abstract concepts but may have difficulties with pronunciation. Individual differences and motivation are important regardless of age. The document emphasizes understanding learners' perspectives to effectively teach different groups.
This document summarizes several factors that influence individual differences in second language acquisition: language aptitude, motivation, and learning strategies. It describes John Carroll's theory of language aptitude consisting of phonemic coding ability, grammatical sensitivity, inductive language learning ability, and rote learning ability. It defines instrumental, integrative, resultative, and intrinsic motivation. It categorizes learning strategies as cognitive, metacognitive, or social/affective and notes that good language learners are very active, aware of their learning process and style, and flexible in using appropriate strategies.

The document outlines key concepts for teaching reading, including:
- Defining reading as an active process of constructing meaning from text.
- Emphasizing the importance of teaching reading strategies over just testing comprehension. Strategies include skills like skimming, scanning, making predictions, and inferring meaning.
- Explaining schema theory and how readers use prior knowledge to understand new information in a text.
- Describing cognitive models of reading including top-down, bottom-up, and interactive approaches.
- Providing principles for teaching reading such as choosing appropriate texts and explicitly teaching reading strategies.
- Discussing components of an effective reading lesson plan such as setting objectives, and incorporating pre-reading,
The document discusses using technology to enhance reading instruction. It describes software like Kidspiration and Timeliner that make learning fun. It also discusses using Alphasmarts keyboards and digital cameras in lessons. One article discusses the Soliloquy reading program that helps struggling readers through speech recognition. Another discusses using simulations to help teaching reading diagnosis skills. Overall, the document argues that technology can make reading more engaging for students and help teachers assess and improve reading skills.

How goals become realized through instructional plansUnggul DJatmika
This document discusses how general goals are translated into instructional plans through syllabus objectives. It explains that a curriculum deals with abstract general goals, while a syllabus provides the instructional plans to guide teachers and learners. The presentation contains information on translating general goals into syllabus objectives, and how language content, process, and product are included in syllabus design. Specifically, it discusses how theoretical and philosophical views provide a link between goals and objectives, and how course designers consider language content, process, and expected outcomes when developing a syllabus.
Chapter 4 explaining second language learningTshen Tashi
The document summarizes several perspectives on second language acquisition:
1) The behaviourist perspective viewed language learning as forming habits, but it did not adequately explain errors or first language influence.
2) The innatist perspective argued innate linguistic knowledge allows first language acquisition, but may not fully explain second language learning.
3) Krashen's Monitor Model proposed language is acquired through exposure to comprehensible input and learned through formal instruction, but questions remain about its sufficiency.
4) The cognitive perspective views language learning as involving cognitive processes like attention, memory, and practice, rather than being innate or distinct from other learning.
Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by Dr. James Asher that uses physical movements and actions in response to verbal commands to help students learn a new language. It is based on the theory that language is best learned through physical motor activity that traces memory connections in the brain. TPR focuses on beginner language learning through interactive physical activities but may have limitations for teaching abstract concepts or engaging shy students.
Literature review on the role of mother tongue in learning and teaching engli...Alexander Decker
The document discusses the role of mother tongue in learning and teaching English for Specific Purposes. It reviews previous studies that have found both positive and negative effects of language transfer when learning a new language. The similarities and differences between a learner's native language and the target language can influence how easily concepts and structures are acquired. While exclusive use of the target language is emphasized in communicative methods, many learners still benefit from occasional use of their mother tongue for instructions, checking understanding, or discussing difficult texts. The influence of the native language depends on various factors and individual learning strategies.
The communicative approach focuses on using language as a medium for communication rather than just studying its structure. It emphasizes meaningful interaction and real-life language use over rote learning of grammar rules. Classroom activities aim to simulate real-world situations through techniques like role-plays, information gaps, and group projects. While grammar is still taught, the goal is practical communication skills rather than academic knowledge of the language.
Input, interaction, and second language acquisitionPe Tii
The document discusses input, interaction, and second language acquisition from multiple perspectives. It begins by defining input and noting three views on input in language acquisition: behaviourist, nativist, and interactionist. It then examines foreigner talk studies, discourse analysis, and input/interaction in classroom settings. Research on motherese and first language acquisition is also summarized. The document provides an overview of different frameworks for analyzing classroom interaction, including interaction analysis, classroom process research, and teacher talk analyses.
This document discusses key considerations for assessing speaking skills. It addresses why a 60-70% score is usually passing, what makes speaking difficult to test, different types of speaking tasks, and factors that affect task fairness. It emphasizes that speaking involves many subskills performed automatically, and that tests need a clear purpose and a range of task types matched to the construct. Raters should use suitable assessment scales and criteria to reliably score performances.
Communicative competence refers to an individual's pragmatic ability to use language effectively and appropriately based on context. It involves multiple dimensions including grammatical competence, sociolinguistic competence, discourse competence, and strategic competence. Theorists like Hymes, Savignon, and Cummins contributed to the understanding of communicative competence, distinguishing between basic interpersonal skills and cognitive academic language proficiency. Pragmatics is the study of how context contributes to meaning. It involves sociopragmatics, pragmalinguistics, and examines language use across situations, cultures, and through nonverbal channels.
1) When the brain matures during childhood, it lateralizes language functions to different hemispheres, with the left hemisphere controlling language.
2) The optimal time period for acquiring different aspects of a second language varies, from lower-order processes like pronunciation in early ages to higher-order functions like semantics later in maturation.
3) Both children and adults can acquire a second language successfully, though younger children may have an advantage due to increased plasticity and less developed self-identity and social awareness.
This document discusses several concepts related to second language acquisition including:
1. Automaticity and restructuring which refer to developing control over linguistic knowledge and changes made to internal representations with new learning.
2. U-shaped learning where performance initially improves, then declines before recovering in areas like grammar.
3. Psycholinguistic constructs like attention, working memory, syntactic priming which influence language learning.
4. Different types of knowledge like acquisition vs learning, declarative vs procedural, and implicit vs explicit knowledge.
5. Factors that influence what language aspects get noticed like frequency, affect, prior knowledge.
6. Stages of comprehension like apperceived input, comprehended input, and enriched input which involve
SOCIAL CONTEXTS OF SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITIONbelenita78
This document discusses factors that influence second language variation and acquisition at both the micro and macro social levels. At the micro level, it discusses how contextual dimensions, linguistic contexts like phonology, psychological contexts like attention, and microsocial contexts like formality influence variation. It also discusses how input, interaction, and modifications to interaction are essential for language learning. At the macro level, it discusses how global and national status of languages, boundaries and identities, social institutions, social categories of learners, and circumstances of learning like prior knowledge, social development, and formal vs informal training impact second language acquisition.
The document summarizes key points from chapters in a book on language assessment principles and classroom practices. It discusses informal and formal assessment, norm-referenced versus criterion-referenced tests, designing classroom language tests, standardized testing, standards-based assessment, and alternatives to testing such as portfolios. The principles of practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity and washback are explained in relation to test design and evaluation of student language skills. Different types of tasks for assessing the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing are also outlined.
This document discusses teaching speaking skills in a second language classroom. It begins by outlining the objectives and reasons for teaching speaking, such as its importance for language learning and students' evaluations of their progress. It then defines speaking and describes its features. Next, it defines teaching speaking and the rationale for using communicative approaches and collaborative learning. Some examples of communicative activities are then provided, such as discussions, role-plays, simulations and storytelling. Guidelines for teachers on conducting speaking activities are also outlined.
The document discusses assessment and language testing. It defines assessment as making a judgment after considering something carefully. It discusses different forms of assessment including tests, activities, and self-assessment. It also discusses the impact that tests can have on teaching (washback effect) and lists some hypotheses about how high-stakes tests may influence what and how teachers teach. The document also discusses issues in language testing like standards, politics, and the use of alternative forms of assessment.
This document summarizes research on using students' L1 (Spanish) in L2 (English) classrooms in Puerto Rico. It finds that both students and teachers support limited use of Spanish to explain concepts, check comprehension, and help students feel comfortable. While exclusive L2 use forces output, judicious L1 incorporation affirms students' identity and facilitates learning through cross-linguistic awareness. Overall, the research suggests Spanish has a role to play in English classes to support students' language development and affective state.
