Cognitive and metacognitive strategies.
This document discusses cognitive and metacognitive strategies that language learners use. It defines cognitive strategies as techniques that directly manipulate information to enhance learning, such as note-taking, translation, and inferencing. Metacognitive strategies involve planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's own learning and include directing attention, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation. The document also distinguishes between different types of metacognitive knowledge and regulation.
History of language teaching
The document provides a history of language teaching methods from the 1500s to present day. It begins with Latin being the dominant language of education in the 1500s, though French, Italian, and English gained prominence in the 1600s. The 1700s-1900s saw the promotion of Latin in schools through grammar-focused instruction. In the 1800s, modern languages began to be taught using the same grammar-translation approach. Reform movements in the late 1800s advocated for a more natural approach focused on speaking, resulting in the Direct Method in the early 1900s emphasizing communication over translation. However, these natural methods proved difficult to implement in schools. Throughout the 20th century, debates occurred over the best language teaching methods to use
Assessing listening
This document discusses various aspects of assessing listening skills. It begins by distinguishing between hearing and listening, noting that listening involves understanding with purpose. It then outlines some common challenges in listening like low concentration, jumping ahead, and cultural differences. The document also describes different types of listening like intensive, responsive, selective, and extensive. It provides examples of assessment techniques for listening at different proficiency levels like cloze activities, dictation, and communicative pair/group tasks.
Interlanguage and interlanguage theory
Interlanguage theory is one of many theories which try to explain how second language in this context English is learnt and acquired by different learners. Interlanguage is the interim language a learner develops in the process of learning a second language and approximating toward target language.
Content based, task-based, and participatory approaches
The document discusses three approaches to language teaching: content-based, task-based, and participatory. Content-based uses subjects like science or history as the basis for language lessons. Task-based focuses on giving students communicative tasks to complete together. Participatory aims to empower students by connecting classroom lessons to social issues relevant to their lives. All three prioritize using language for meaningful communication over isolated grammar lessons.
Assessing listening
This document discusses observing and assessing listening performance. It notes that while speaking, reading, and writing can be observed directly, listening is an internal process that can only be inferred from external behaviors like nodding or asking questions. It identifies four types of listening - intensive, responsive, selective, and extensive - and provides examples of assessment tasks for each, such as cloze exercises, information transfer tasks, and dictation. The document emphasizes the importance of specifying clear objectives and designing assessment tasks accordingly.
1 brief history of language teaching
The document discusses the history of foreign language teaching methods. It describes how the Grammar Translation Method was dominant from the 1840s-1940s, focusing on reading comprehension and translation over oral skills. In the mid-19th century, reformers proposed methods like the Direct Method that emphasized oral communication and avoiding translation, more closely mimicking natural first language acquisition. Key figures like Gouin and Berlitz developed approaches using the target language exclusively and inductive grammar instruction. However, the Direct Method faced constraints integrating into public school systems.
Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education
This document discusses mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. It outlines some common misconceptions about only using a student's first language or that it hinders learning a second or third language. The goals of MTB-MLE are to create literate, critical thinkers who are lifelong learners and preserve cultural heritage. Data from early grade reading assessments show inequities in performance between students and a need to address issues like exposure to reading and a culture of learning. Problems implementing MTB-MLE include a lack of materials, unprepared teachers, and differing ideologies. Solutions proposed are increasing awareness through training and empowering communities while lessening misinformation. A shift in ideology is

Desuggestopedia
Desuggestopedia is a language teaching method created by Georgi Lozanov, a Bulgarian psychiatrist. The goal is to eliminate psychological barriers to learning and increase communicative ability. Teachers aim to create a relaxed environment using music, colors, student roles and indirect positive suggestions. Lessons include rhythmic reading, translation and question/answer sessions. Student evaluation is based on classroom performance rather than tests.
Input, interaction, foreigner and teacher talk
This document discusses input, interaction, teacher talk, and foreigner talk in second language acquisition. It summarizes theories on the importance of comprehensible input and interaction for language learning. Teacher talk features modifications to make input more understandable to students, such as shorter sentences and repetition. Foreigner talk also simplifies language when speaking to non-native speakers. Both teacher talk and foreigner talk aim to facilitate communication through modified speech.
Assessing Listening
The document discusses assessing listening skills. It defines listening as an active process involving both linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge. Listening assessment is important because the act of listening cannot be observed. The document outlines different types of listening like intensive, extensive, selective, and responsive. It provides examples of assessment tasks that can measure various dimensions of listening including phonological recognition, paraphrasing, answering questions, note-taking, and retelling stories.
How to teach listening
This document provides tips for learners to improve their listening comprehension skills. It recommends that learners expand their vocabulary, read grammar books, and listen extensively to different genres and levels of content, including films with and without subtitles. Some key strategies discussed include being patient, listening and transcribing or noting the gist, and knowing details about the speaker, topic, and intended task before listening. The document also outlines best practices for pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening activities to enhance comprehension.
TBLT (Task Based Language Teaching)
This document provides background information on task-based language teaching (TBLT). It discusses key concepts such as the definition of a task, the principles and objectives of TBLT, as well as the typical components of a TBLT lesson including the pre-task, task cycle, and post-task stages. Examples of tasks and learning activities are also provided. The document concludes by outlining some advantages and disadvantages of the TBLT approach.
Assessing speaking
This document discusses various types and methods of assessing speaking skills. It describes imitative speaking, which tests pronunciation and comprehension through repetition of words, phrases, and sentences. Intensive speaking assesses grammatical competence through short responses, while extensive speaking evaluates longer monologues. Different task types are outlined for intensive and extensive speaking, such as direct responses, read alouds, and picture-cued storytelling. Scoring speaking presents challenges in clearly defining criteria and establishing reliability.
Assessments, concepts and issues
This document discusses key concepts in language assessment. It defines the differences between testing and assessment, and explains that measurement involves assigning numbers to performance while evaluation involves interpretation. Formative assessment occurs throughout learning to provide feedback, while summative assessment evaluates mastery at the end. Other topics covered include multiple intelligence theory, traditional versus alternative assessment, and ensuring tests are practical, reliable, valid, authentic, and promote beneficial preparation.
Integrating the language_ skills
The document discusses different approaches to teaching language skills: discrete skills, integrated skills, and partial skills integration. Teaching skills in isolation leads to lack of communication ability, while integrated skill instruction exposes learners to authentic language use and meaningful activities. Integrated instruction through content-based and task-based themes allows students to develop communicative competence while learning real content. The best approaches for post-secondary ESL students are theme-based and task-based instruction, using engaging themes and authentic language tasks to integrate and practice multiple language skills.
The structure of a language lesson
The document discusses the structure of effective language lessons. It notes that lessons have recognizable participants and activities, and reach conclusions. It then outlines key components of lesson structure: beginning with a review, stating goals, presenting new material in steps with practice, providing instructions and questions to check understanding, and giving feedback. The document further explores opening, sequencing, pacing, and closing lessons effectively based on methodology like situational or communicative language teaching.
Chapter 9( assessing writing)
This document discusses various methods for assessing writing performance, from imitative to extensive writing. It outlines genres of writing, types of writing performance, and examples of tasks used to assess skills at different levels. These include spelling tasks, picture-cued tasks, grammatical transformation tasks, paragraph construction, and holistic, primary trait, and analytical scoring methods. Scoring writing requires evaluating content, organization, vocabulary, syntax and mechanics.
Principles of Language Assessment
The document discusses the key principles of language assessment: practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity, and washback. It defines each principle and provides examples. Practicality means a test is cost-effective, time-efficient and easy to administer. Reliability refers to a test producing consistent results. Validity concerns a test accurately measuring what it claims to measure. Authenticity refers to how well a test simulates real-world language tasks. Washback concerns a test's influence on teaching and learning. A test has positive washback if it encourages effective instruction and learning.
DEVELOPING SPEAKING LESSON PLANS
This document provides guidance on developing effective speaking lesson plans. It begins by outlining the key components of a strong lesson plan, including determining the topic, objectives, activities, and assessments. It then describes various classroom activities to practice speaking skills, such as discussions, role plays, simulations, interviews and storytelling. Suggestions are made for teachers, such as providing vocabulary beforehand, limiting corrections, and giving written feedback. The conclusion emphasizes that teaching speaking requires providing opportunities for meaningful communication through engaging activities.
Learning styles: Field Independence and Field Dependence
This document discusses learning styles, specifically field independence and field dependence. Field independent learners, who tend to be European American students, prefer to work individually and analytically. Field dependent learners, who include many minority groups, prefer to work collaboratively and are influenced by teachers and peers. The implications for teachers are to understand these differences, clearly communicate expectations, directly teach classroom rules and procedures, provide models of assignments, and ensure cultural adjustments do not lead to stereotyping or bias. Teachers should also be aware of individual variations within styles.

LISTENING
“A mental operation involving processing sound waves, interpreting their meaning, and storing their meaning in memory.”
Out of the four language skills, (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening)
LISTENING HAS BEEN SADLY NEGLECTED
LANGUAGE
Basically ORAL
Students should develop their listening and speaking skills side by side with their reading and writing skills
60% - 70% of the time
An average student can listen to their teachers and classmates in school, to their parents and other members of the family at home, to announcers on the radio and television programs.
IMPORTANCE OF LISTENING
Accurate and perceptive listening will minimize misunderstandings and help students to sustain satisfying and productive relationships.
Careful listening can be critical to work situations.
Listening enables listeners to provide feedback to speakers.
Effective listening abilities strengthen the other language arts: reading comprehension and written communication.
NATURE OF LISTENING
LISTENING
A complex skill that requires attention and energy
Involves;
Recognition - Selection - Short Memory - Inference
Explanation:
The listener recognizes the sounds and the words; he engages in a process of selection on two levels – selecting sounds and words and grouping them into meaningful units as well as selecting the information relevant to his purpose in listening. This information is stored in then stored in the short-term memory, ready to be used; the inference is about the speakers age, beliefs, feelings, etc. Is an important micro-skill in listening.
LISTENING
A creative skill.
We hear sounds, words, the rise and fall of voice, from all which we create significance.
We listen not for the words alone but for the meanings.
Rivers; significance depends on three factors:
Linguistic information which the listeners perceive aurally of sounds, words, and their arrangements in utterances
Situational context of the utterance
Intentions of the speaker
Many of the students can hear but do not comprehend because it is only the linguistic content of the utterance that is given attention.
Assessing Listening
The document discusses various methods for assessing listening skills in language learning. It identifies four main types of listening performance: intensive, responsive, selective, and extensive. Some example assessment tasks provided include cloze dictations, information transfer tasks, note-taking, editing discrepancies between written and spoken stimuli, interpretive tasks like answering questions about a story, and retelling or summarizing what was heard. The goal of assessment is to evaluate skills like comprehending sounds, understanding context and meaning, and developing an overall understanding of the auditory input.
Individual differences in second language learning
The document discusses individual differences that can impact second language learning, including intelligence, aptitude, and learning styles. It describes research showing intelligence is related to certain language skills but not oral abilities. Aptitude tests measure the ability to learn sounds, grammar, and vocabulary. Learning styles, like field independence/dependence and Kolb's styles, influence how learners prefer to intake information. Educators hope understanding these differences can help all learners succeed.

Listening Skill
This document outlines a presentation on teaching listening skills. It begins with definitions of listening as an active process of constructing meaning from what is heard using both bottom-up processing of individual words and sounds as well as top-down processing using background knowledge. It then discusses the history of incorporating listening instruction in language teaching methodology. Principles for teaching listening are presented, including exposing students to bottom-up and top-down processing, different types of listening tasks, considerations for text difficulty and authenticity, and strategies for listening. Classroom techniques are provided such as dictation and modifying materials to focus on specific information, gist, and inference. The role of pre-listening and post-listening tasks is discussed.
Multiple intelligences method
The Multiple Intelligences Method identifies 8 types of intelligences and incorporates them into language teaching. The method has 4 stages: 1) awakening intelligence through sensory experiences 2) amplifying intelligence through comparing experiences 3) teaching linked to intelligence through worksheets and groups 4) transferring intelligence through out-of-class application. Teachers develop rich activities and students are active learners who experiment with intelligences to find their strengths. Evaluation varies by intelligence and students feel confident learning in their own way.
Testing of listening
This document discusses testing listening skills in language learning. It explains that listening tests assess how well students have mastered what has been taught and that listening is a key receptive skill for language proficiency. There are two main types of listening tests - discrete tests that evaluate specific listening elements or aspects of proficiency one at a time, and task-based tests that evaluate broader communicative listening skills like comprehending facts or interpreting intentions. Important considerations for developing listening tests include selecting appropriate texts and tasks, determining the number of speakers, choosing a live or recorded format, minimizing writing, and using multiple choice or other item types. Sample test formats described include dictation, following map directions, comprehending radio reports or talks, and answering comprehension questions
The Cultural Fair
The document discusses the details of a school Cultural Fair. It is described as a celebration of students' cultures and communities that allows each student to deeply study an aspect of their own culture. Students create exhibits with various components, including a presentation board, table display, interviews of family members from different generations, a story report, and a digital presentation. The fair includes a competition, and the best exhibits will receive ribbons and may advance to the state level. Students are encouraged to make creative, multi-faceted exhibits that showcase their research and cultural stories through various visual and oral elements.

This document summarizes the conservation of a print titled "The Pursuit of Pleasure: A Vision of Human Life" owned by the Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri. The print, created in 1864, was in poor condition with a yellowed and brittle paper. Through cleaning and repair, the conservation restored the print to an exhibitable condition. The print depicts a scene from a 1855 painting and shows human figures indulging in various vices as they are lured by the goddess Pleasure. The restoration revealed the intricate details of the print and allowed the museum to preserve this piece of art for future generations.

Museum Lesson 1
The document defines a museum as an institution that collects, preserves, and displays objects of cultural, historical, or scientific importance for public education. Museums have the purpose of enabling learning and access to collections in order to inspire and educate visitors. The document discusses different types of museum exhibits like panel shows, period rooms, and dioramas. It also explains that museums choose specific themes to tell focused stories about broad historical topics or events. Students are then instructed to work in groups to plan exhibits for a hypothetical class museum on African history by choosing a theme and related exhibit topics.
Digital Futures keynote
This document summarizes a presentation about how opening up museum collections digitally can inspire creativity and new learning. It discusses two case studies: Cool Constructions, a collaboration between citizens and SMK to beautify public spaces; and Wiki Labs, where people collaborate to enrich Wikipedia art entries using SMK images. The presentation argues that today learning happens everywhere, not just in institutions, and that open collections can support "maker culture" where people engage in hands-on creative learning. It describes an event called "Mix it up!" held at SMK to celebrate open collections, featuring a remix exhibition and workshops. Feedback showed the value of open collections in empowering new forms of learning and art, while also surfacing challenges in integrating

MW18 Presentation: Sustaining The Heartbeat Of Your Museum’s Content Strategy
By Eric Holter, Cuberis, USA, Nick Faber, Cuberis, USA
Access to quick publishing tools like blogs and social media should make populating your website with great content a breeze. Add to that the digitization of your museum's collections, and the options are virtually limitless. But that's also the problem. With so many content opportunities, it's easy to suffer from choice paralysis. One of the keys to knowing what content to produce at any given time is to develop a habitual and sustainable content strategy. A benefit of cultivating a viable content strategy flows from a surprising observation made by Wired's Chris Anderson in 2004, when digital retailers began to outsell offline competitors. Without the limitations of a physical store, online retailers could stock plenty of obscure releases along with "the hits". And it turned out that there was a profitable market for these niche titles. When you tallied the sales from the multitude of niche titles, the total dwarfed the sales from the hits. Anderson dubbed this occurrence the "Long Tail" effect. Museums, like brick and mortar retailers, can only put the "hits" on display. The long tail of objects in the vaults remain out of reach to your visitors. But, thanks to digital collections, the most obscure and specific items can reach their audiences, too. In this workshop you will learn how enrich your museum’s "Long Tail" with content that fulfills your museum's mission while contributing to its margin. We will discuss the following: * Building a content strategy that exploits the Long Tail effect for museums * Establishing proper expectations for how Long Tail content will perform and build value * Examples from museums of leveraging Long Tail content * How Long Tail content strategies can enrich a museum’s featured content (content related to events, exhibitions, and scholarship)

Enduring Cultures
This document discusses the concept of culture and defines enduring cultures. It explains that culture can refer to both individual traditions and beliefs ("little c") as well as broader regional or national identities ("big C"). Enduring cultures are those that have withstood the test of time through great achievements, legacies, and stories that are still recognized and appreciated generations later. The document provides examples of enduring cultures from various regions, including Native American, Aztec, Inca, ancient Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, and Aboriginal Australian cultures.
Tech Ambassadors: The Challenge
A grant proposing middle school students teach elementary students how to use sophisticated technology tools to enrich their learning.
Written Gifts
The document discusses a program where students write short stories and poems as gifts for senior citizens at a convalescent center during Christmas. Each year, the students compose 200-300 written gifts that they deliver and read to the seniors. The students are initially apprehensive about reading to strangers but enjoy giving of themselves and making a difference through their creativity. The program is a way for the students to give real gifts to real audiences and learn that learning involves freely giving of oneself.
Educating 7th Graders About Abuse

Guide to Student Portfolios
Student portfolios are used at Cascade Middle School to celebrate student achievement throughout the year. Portfolios allow students to keep a permanent record of their work and demonstrate mastery of learning goals. Students take ownership of their learning by setting goals, evaluating their own progress, and reflecting on what they have learned. In contrast to traditional grading, portfolios emphasize student self-assessment and show documentation that learning standards have been met.
Core Zone Introduction
The document introduces the Core Zone, a 7th grade interdisciplinary learning community. It is a 3 hour block that integrates different subjects like reading, writing, social studies, and technology. Students will complete interactive projects, presentations, and creative works. The Core Zone aims to prepare students for high school through a writing intensive curriculum focused on original composition, research, and expressing individual uniqueness through service to the learning community.
Web2.0: Theory & Application in the Classroom
The document discusses how Web 2.0 technologies can be effectively used in K-12 classrooms to engage digital native students. It notes that today's students are immersed in technology from a young age and learn differently compared to past generations. While schools aim to incorporate technology, there is often a gap between how students and educators use technology. The document argues that Web 2.0 tools that enable collaboration, communication and creation can help develop important 21st century skills if educators embrace these technologies rather than resist them due to security concerns.
