certain level of competitiveness in achieving the objectives.

This document summarizes a study on student use of native language in task-based language classrooms in Hong Kong. Interviews with teachers and teacher educators revealed several key findings: 1) Classroom interaction in English was limited, both during whole-class instruction and group work, with students often relying on their native language. 2) While informants acknowledged the inevitable role of native language use, they expressed concern that overuse could hinder English practice and limit monitoring of language use. 3) Strategies used to encourage English use included language monitors, incentives, and recording group discussions, but with mixed success. 4) Task design and implementation are important factors in limiting native language use, such

This study examines using repetition drills to improve pronunciation skills among 7th grade students in Serang, Indonesia.

Student Perception of Learner Centered Teaching

Ina Qzero

The document summarizes research on student perceptions of learner-centered teaching. The research involved surveying 21 graduate students about their experiences in a psychology class taught with learner-centered methods. Key findings included that students appreciated being treated as capable learners responsible for their own education. They also valued formative feedback on assignments and choosing their own topics and due dates. The learner-centered approach helped students think critically about course material rather than just memorizing facts. Overall, the study suggests learner-centered teaching promotes deeper learning by giving students responsibility and flexibility in their education.

Classroom interaction

Auver2012

Classroom interaction refers to the social and academic relationship between teachers and students. It examines how teachers can support student achievement and development through their interactions in the classroom. Effective classroom interaction falls into three categories: emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support. Teachers provide emotional support by creating a positive environment and being responsive to students' needs. They organize the classroom to help students regulate their behavior and stay engaged. Finally, teachers give instructional support by promoting thinking skills, providing feedback, and encouraging language use among students. The goal of classroom interaction is to help students communicate effectively and assist them with learning.

Task-based language learning is a student-centered approach where students complete meaningful tasks using the target language. It focuses on task outcome over language accuracy. Tasks are done in groups and include pre-task planning, task performance, report, analysis, practice. It engages students but may neglect discussion forms. Cooperative learning involves students working together towards a common goal, developing social skills. Benefits include higher achievement and interpersonal skills. Examples include think-pair-share, jigsaws, problem-solving. Factors like learning styles and brain processing should be considered.

This module discusses the importance of interaction in language classrooms. It notes that student talk typically accounts for less than 30% of classroom talk.

The module considers different types of interactions in the classroom, including between teacher-student and student-student. It also addresses the goals of classroom interaction and using both the target language and students' first language to support learning. Teachers are encouraged to reflect on interaction in their own classrooms.

Using Jigsaw Strategy for Teaching Reading to Teenager Learners in Vietnam

AJSERJournal

This paper indicates strong points of using the jigsaw strategy for teaching reading to teenagers. Two kinds of datasets including survey and interview provided the researcher with enough evidence in order to judge innovation. Although this is not a very successful innovation, it helps the researcher experience jigsaw reading lessons in her own teaching context. Vitally important, the innovation helps engage students in reading lessons and create meaningful interaction among them. Therefore, the research results will be applied into other reading courses at institutions in Vietnam and the researcher hopes that it might be useful for those who are interested in teaching reading through the jigsaw strategy.

Dictation

Haslindah Hashim

This report summarizes an action research project that investigated using innovative dictation activities to help primary school students in Hong Kong learn English as a second language. Traditional dictation lessons were replaced with 5 new activities, including jigsaw, partial, running, grammar, and composition dictation. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires before and after the changes. Results showed students greatly enjoyed the new activities and had more positive attitudes towards dictation, believing it could now be a fun way to learn rather than a stressful test. This suggests innovative dictation approaches may help second language acquisition.

1) The study examined the effectiveness of differentiated instruction in teaching English to Grade 4 students. Two classes were taught the same lessons for one week, with one class (the experimental group) receiving differentiated instruction and the other (the control group) receiving traditional single-style teaching. 2) Pre-test results showed that both groups had similar performance and heterogeneity in abilities. Post-test results showed that the experimental group taught with differentiated instruction performed significantly better than the control group. 3) Analysis of pre-test and post-test results found that more students in the experimental group improved to the above average classification compared to the control group. Differentiated instruction was found to more effectively address the diverse needs of students.
