Introduction

My philosophy of second language teaching is to combine a high interest message + high touch
media + high tech media! For media I combine high touch and high technology. Motivation is
extremely important in the second language learning and the appropriate choice of message and
media can help motivate students.
The high touch media part of my lessons includes the use of props and video. I use props and
costumes to engage all the senses including the kinesic sense. Teaching with multiple modalities
accommodates different perceptual learning styles. The use of costumes is a fun activity that
lowers anxiety, boredom and doubt and lowers the affective filter. According to Krashens Input
Hypothesis, a lowered affective filter should enhance second language learning. I also use video
as the common classroom experience of a Language Experience Approach (LEA) lesson in order
to engage all the senses of the students prior to discussion.
The high tech media part of my lessons includes both hypermedia and student centered
technology projects. I use my blog to provide a hypermedia mode of instruction and this
increases teacher control over lesson content. The use of online hypermedia content means the
instructor can more readily control the difficulty level of text presented in the classroom for
lecture and/or discussion purposes. The instructor can easily share lecture and/or discussion
notes by sending links to the notes via social media. The students can access information that
was not presented in class through hyperlinks in the online lesson. The hyperlinks are designed
as extensions for remediation or enrichment.
When appropriate the students in my classes do technology based communication projects.
Second language learners may be unsure of their English skills but still have a strong interest in
technology that motivates them to try to communicate to their fellow students via technology
based communication projects. The infusion of technology as a communication tool in the
second language classroom also improves the technological competence of the students. Finally,
the best way to teach second language learners how to talk about technology is through
technology projects.

If the main second language objective of the class is the development of Basic Interpersonal
Communication Skills (BICS) then I pick topics from pop culture. I also use more high touch
media rather than a high tech media when BICS are the main goal.
If the main second language objective of the class is the development of Cognitive Academic
Language Proficiency (CALP) then I use authentic academic materials. I also rely more on
hypermedia to communicate complex material in a fun and interesting way in which the pace of
comprehensible input is tightly controlled. I am also more likely to put an emphasis on
technology based communication projects.
In either case, I use prior research that I have done on what EFL students find interesting in order
to guide my lesson content decisions. In Fox (2004) the focus was just on student interests. The
follow up article Fox and Miller (2007) compared student interests with textbook content and
found there was a poor match. This packet is an attempt to provide research based high interest
topics that is superior to that of most textbooks. In my opinion, effective second language
teaching is the masterful synergy of message and media to create optimal conditions for
learning!
In all my lesson plans there will be both a BICS and CALP activity but I vary the ratio of time
spent on the BICS versus CALP objective depending on the level. The table below is an
approximation of the ratio of time this instructor will spend on BICS versus CALP activities
depending on the ESL level.

If the level of the students is very low then I might focus on the BICS activity and forego the
CALP activity altogether. On the other hand, even with a very high level class, I would never
neglect the BICS activity altogether. The BICS activity acts as a natural motivational warm up
activity that introduces the CALP activity even in the case of very high level ESL learners.

Prezi Map Layouts

http://foxhugh.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/prezi-map-layouts/

Geographic Map - If the topic is geographic then an actual map of the place you are talking
about can be used. Prezi is far superior to PowerPoint for a presentation with a strong
geographical component.
Graphic Organizer In my opinion, the term map layout is a misnomer and Prezi really
revolves around graphic organizers rather than map layouts. A map, mind map, pictogram,
timeline and visual metaphors are all examples of graphic organizers. A complete list at:
http://foxhugh.wordpress.com/visual-communication/graphic-organizers/list-of-graphicorganizers/
Mind Map A mind map is a diagram used to represent ideas, words, and tasks around a central
concept.
Pictogram A simplified picture of an object is often more effective than an actual picture of
the object you want to describe and can act as a map layout.
Slide:ology Provides an excellent system for classifying graphic organizers (more information
at Slideology Graphics).
Timeline In addition to a timeline any sort of graphic showing time such as a schedule,
calendar or clock can act as a graphic when the main point of the presentation is a sequence of
events.
Visual Metaphor An excellent article about creating effective visual metaphors is at:

Zen Design Exercise
http://foxhugh.com/communication/zen-design-exercise/
1) The student will apply Zen design principles to a series of pictures.
2) After the lesson, the students will break into groups and apply the knowledge gained in order
to create a movie poster for a new War and Peace movie using the Zen design principles. The
movie is not an actual movie being made but one posited for teaching purposes.
Datsuzoku () means freedom from habit or formula. The artist should try to go beyond
convention. Art should be transcendental. How does the photo below demonstrate the principle
of datsuzoku?

Fukinsei () means asymmetry or irregularity. However, in practice there is a small

controlled asymmetry within a larger symmetrical pattern. How does the picture below apply the
principle of fukinsei?

Kanso () means simplicity. In Western terms this is expressed as minimalism and the tenet
that less is more. How does the picture below demonstrate the principle of Kanso? What other
Zen design principle covered is also at work in this picture?

Seijaku () means tranquility. Paradoxically this tranquility is often described as an active

calm. There is a sense of energy below the surface calm. How does the picture below
demonstrate the principle of Seijaku?

13

Shibui/Shibumi () means understated beauty. Also a thing should be what it is and not
pretend to be something else. In Western terms this is the dictum of form follows function.
Shibui literally means bitter tasting. Shibui can be seen as another flavor of Zen minimalism.
There are two photos of jeweler below. Which photo demonstrates the principle of Shibui?

Shizen () means naturalness. The Zen garden is often pointed to as an example of shizen
but paradoxically a Zen garden is the result of great planning and a great deal of manual effort.
One might think of shizen as not just being naturalness but a type of transcendental naturalness
that connects with the principle of datsuzoku.

Yugen () means profundity via suggestion rather than revelation. A Japanese garden, for
example, slowly reveals itself as the viewer twists and turns along the winding path of the
garden. This contrasts with the gardens of Versailles which impress by showing all their
grandeur at once from the correct viewpoint. How does the Japanese picture below show
Yugen?

14

Below is a picture of Versailles. Compare and contrast Versailles with a Japanese Zen garden.

What principles of Zen design does the picture below exemplify?

Below is a movie poster of War and Peace. What Zen principles of design does this poster
violate?

15

Break into groups and create a movie poster for a new War and Peace movie using the Zen
principles covered.
My own version of a War and Peace movie poster using Zen principles can be seen at:
http://foxhugh.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/peace-sign-skull/
What principle of Zen design does my peace sign skull violate and how can it be fixed?
