Why should Teacher Talk be limited? What is a good balance between Teacher Talk and Student Talk? What are some teaching strategies to accomplish this?
Teachers are being challenged to find ways to integrate the use of ICT into their teaching to both address these outcomes and enhance what they have previously done on their classrooms. One approach to the use of the Internet that has a lot of potentials for both teachers and learners is the Web Quest. This study aimed at verifying (1) whether the students would be interested in reading texts extensively in English; (2) whether an interactive constructivist environment would make a difference in an extensive reading task. This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of the Web Quest in extensive reading. The experiment and control subjects were from two different classes attending the fifth semester of English department at STKIP PGRI Jombang, Indonesia. The results showed that there is no statistical difference between the groups (p=0.575). The results also indicated that both approaches (the Web Quest and traditional) lead to learning and both are valuable teaching strategies. The results showed that the majority of students in both groups had some difficulties in reading in English. General comments follow the next discussion and end with conclusion and suggestion which might be beneficial for language learners and EFL practitioners.

Please don’t jump ahead…
narratives
bilingualism
using TV to promote language
best practices
Narratives
Seminar Question 1:
Define narratives based on the information from the
Uchikoshi (2005) article.
Narratives
Narratives are defined as at least two (2) sequential independent clauses (complete sentences) describing a single past event. (Stories!!)
Narratives require the ability to sustain talk about one topic and beyond. It requires the use of several utterances that are linked to build a coherent story.
“When telling a story, the narrator not only tells the listener what happens in the story but also talks about the meaning of those events” (Uchikoshi, 2005, p. 465).

The New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa *Creating a supportive learning environment. *Encouraging reflective thought and action. *Enhancing the relevance of new learning. *Facilitating shared learning. *Making connections to prior learning and experience. *Providing sufficient opportunities to learn. *Teaching as inquiry. Rochelle Jensen - August - 2011
10. “ The real magic in a quality learning experience comes not from boxes, wires and expensive digital equipment. The real magic comes from teachers who have high expectations, create relevant and challenging learning experiences, supported and scaffold pupils to success, and provide quality feedback for their pupils.” Trevor Bond Rochelle Jensen - August - 2011
14. ** Making meaning of ideas or information they receive (Listening, Reading, Viewing ) ** Creating meaning for themselves or others (Speaking, Writing, Presenting ) Consider the use of multi-modal forms: The New Zealand Curriculum - English English is structured around two strands, each encompassing the oral, written, and visual forms of the language. Rochelle Jensen - August - 2011
15. Consumers : Analyse and interpret meaning Producers : Convey meaning by being creative with literacy and design Rochelle Jensen - August - 2011 Students make meaning of a text by understanding and interpreting the text’s sets of signs or symbols, which are called semiotic systems. There are five semiotic systems: 1. linguistic (oral and written language, for example, use vocabulary and grammar), 2. visua l (still and moving images, for example, use colour, vectors, and viewpoint), 3. auditory (music and sound effects, for example, use volume, pitch, and rhythm), 4. gestural (facial expression and body language, for example, use move- ment speed and stillness), and 5. spatial (layout and organisation of objects and space, for example, use proximity, direction, and position).

Editor's Notes
MIHI *Kia ora everyone, As I said my name , where I am from. *Current role is two fold- classroom tch / digiadvsior for ttt – supporting tch to select and use digital technology I have been invited in here this morning as part of your module on the broader views of literacy. Purpose of the next 45mins is to share with you a liitle bit of the why and how myself in terms of integrate technology with particulalr focus on literacy programmes More specificallly – flick up lnr intentions
This lecture is about the implications for us as educators
Components of lecture Broad, funnel into specific examples. Set the scene by exploring 21st century student using video
Both our curriculum documents embrace and reflect this thinking Examples: Vision: words like - connected, actively involved Effective pedagogy emphasizes –enhancing the relevance of ne lng- why are we lng this? How will we be able to use it? Providing sufficient Oporto to learn- encountering new lng a number of times and in variety of diff tasks and context. Facilitate shared lng – lng with others. Key competencies – lifelong skills and capabilities
I like this reference to our generation - doing based, practical in terms of what the lnr exps should demand Derek Wenmoth - term Generation C Video – focus on hot Frameoworks common in NZ schools such as inquiry,, SOLO taxonomy, Blooms –
*Generally, In catering for these lnrs we should be seeing a shift to the right: *Env increasing student centred *Certainly dominant in primary and exciting models emerging in secondary schools- unlimited *Projects – groups working with a programmer create a new game , orgainsing a drug and alcohol free rave.
Quote - Shown at beginning Highlight – need for tchs who are willing and able to use.... solutions and new info. Don ’ t believe we need to know the in and outs of every appl/dig object but I do believe we need to know enough to recognise when an app/object can enhance tch/lnr. Use effective tch pedagogy to facilitate the exp that harness its power.
Before we narrow focus to literacy and ict Find out your exp. With ict, confidence, knowledge some of the tools , processes mentioned thus far Interactive , piece of paper Are you a digital immigrant with an accent?
Is ICT enough? On its own no. Reinforce the point : ICT Significant / Key Enabler in supporting lngs But – big but only if used effectively Equation captures this :
Not wot u got it is how u use it
ICT Needs to be considered New thininkg aorund e-learning – involves taking the ‘ e ’ out all together *What am i trying to achieve here? *What tools and strategies can assist? Enhance?
Multi modal – clever overlap of oral, written and media Meta knowledge is know about knwoledge-
Results echoed through NEMP Writing Looking Ahead: • , attention needs to be paid to the teaching of listening skills and the use of multi-modal forms of information presentation. • Because society relies increasingly on the use of multi-media formats for presenting information, specific attention needs to be paid to developing skills in relation to these media. Reading Skills in scanning for information (as required in “ When Disaster Strikes ” ) are becoming increasingly important, with the huge volume of information of widely varying quality that students are accessing through the Internet.
Think multimodal when looking at the two strands in our doc. Multi modal is the clever overlap of oral, written and media - exmples all aorund u. Expose stdnets in these forms . Lmg objects, games, advertisning, gamong, apllicayions, movies, comics, cartoons, English lng area is structured around two strands: Making meaning and creating meaning Our challenge is to engage students, provide opportunities for the the thoughtful creation and critical consumption
Consumers - view media Producers – Such bhvs Involves an awareness of: multi modal Semiotic systems : Auditory Gestural Spatial Visual Linguistic Semiotic Systems Students make meaning of a text by understanding and interpreting the text’s sets of signs or symbols, which are called semiotic systems. There are five semiotic systems: 1. linguistic (oral and written language, for example, use vocabulary and grammar), 2. visual (still and moving images, for example, use colour, vectors, and viewpoint), 3. auditory (music and sound effects, for example, use volume, pitch, and rhythm), 4. gestural (facial expression and body language, for example, use move- ment speed and stillness), and 5. spatial (layout and organisation of objects and space, for example, use proximity, direction, and position). Effective literacy Lnr the code – decode and encode Making meaning - discuss and use knowledge, strategies, and awareness Thinking critically –analysing and interpreting
Key point – when designing your programme: Think multi modal - systems Consumption and creation
See handout Flutter by friends – prediction and ordering Garage beat : profile – interview, view model Choose relevant lng objects to use as part of literacy rotations
Rather than show tools I want to show you examples the tools will change the essential lng function will remain the same Via snapshots section Examples demonstrate tchs enagging students in lng experiences/ environments that involve multimodel consumption and creation.
Manaakitanga Explored via pamphlet – diff aspects , share back to group Looked at ithink example Sketched and shared orally View lng object used as a model’ to create our own collaborative stories The purpose of this activity was to develop narrative writing skills and the reading strategy of visualising. 1. Students in each class were to write a narrative using the success criteria developed by the class. Models of narratives were used to support the children in identifying and understanding the success criteria. 2.The completed stories were e-mailed to the buddy class. 3. The children read the stories they received and created an illustration for the matching the text. 4. The pictures were sent to the writers electronically. The text and illustrations were combined using VoiceThread and published in the blog. 5. Appropriate feedback was given.
Wordle for displays etc for vocad for fdiffetrnt types of language features but most powerful way I have used is for deconstructing the language features within a piece of text. n
