Week 1 Communicative Language Communicative Language Learning Video Notes: This video gives information about Communicative 3
Learning Language teaching in which the teacher is seen as the facilitator and the student is a communicator.
http://www.youtube.com/watch? The language elements consist of : grammar, vocabulary, and fluency.. They use running dications,
v=iGDxC they tne use proverbs-students are matching their proverbs with the English Language and then the
g90Its&feature=related students check their answers then work together, students then act out their scenes and the other
students guess what proverbs the groups are acting out. Third is Computer assisted language learning:
students are watching a film and students are to answer questions while the film is playing. Students
work individually but the teacher is walking around. Fourth is that students use ads to learn.

Learners build skills and learn progressively,
When teachers use Bloom's Taxonomy teachers should begin from the middle
of the circle when planning lesson.

environmental factors.
Teachers should include positive feedback, incentives in order for teachers to
help their students. Their is intrinsic and extrinsic motivated learners. Extrinsic learners
are usually the ones that become the lifelong learners.

These are the standards that California public Education Systems are using for

QirhNeIwQ0w&feature=related and or with a group.
Give your students the steps in order what they first need to do to begin the
task
Give students steps for them to follow and detailed instruction that they are
supposed to do for the activity.
Make sure to go around and see where is it that students need help and take
notes on what was that the students were confused and go over it at the end of class.

share, different tasks.
Try to make communication possible in the classroom
Communication can be the focus of learning, it has taken different forms, it has
led into content based teaching, task based teaching, text based teaching.
Task based teaching begins with the task so it is basically like the reverse way
of teaching in which many teachers are used to.
Students can use tasks based learning to learn better because they are
applying a certain task to a concept that they are learning.
Uses a curriculum from tasks that take place and they use the language to be
able and be performed because students learn .It uses their language resources
Task based is built on the curriculum that they are learning
Students performance are not predictable so teachers have to be able to think
of many different ways in which their students will react to the task based learning.
It builds language awareness to form student awareness and stay on task.
Students feel that sometimes when they have a question in school there are 3
not the sufficient people to understand their native language so they are unable to ask
questions and get clarifications.
Students struggle to communicate with their teachers especially if they do not
speak their language.
Hildas video project aimed to help literacy level (ESL) students improve their
communication and writing competencies through the production of short video skits,
based on real-life situations. Please visit my educational technologies blog at
http://avispector.wordpress.com for more tips and tutorials.
Students made videos then they had to summarize what they did then the
students would include captions and practice their writing.
Students were practicing their English by video making, students made the
videos with their groups and then they finished writing everything. They would meet with
the teacher and get feedback on their video how they spoke and in their writing.
It focuses on the outcomes of teaching. It starts by looking at the skills that 3
students use in the English language.
We look at the building blocks on how to begin.
Such as how to explain something in the English Language
It looks at the skills that students will need to be able to connect to their work
and into the real world.
It looks at the skills that students will need for the real world.
It does not tell us how to teach but it tell us about the important ideas that
students should learn to apply them into the real world
New words are introduced with pictures.
They are shown in a kinesthetic way in order for students to be able to apply
and learn and most importantly remember.
Multi- Sensory Vocabulary Drilling: Vocabulary exercise put the picture on the
board when the teacher calls out the word.
Teacher was also making the noises from the the animals and the students
that would have that image at their desk would come up to the board and put the image
up.
Reading Lips Exercise: it is used that the teacher is moving their lips and the
students are trying to guess what the teacher is mouthing, it is used as a vocabulary
technique to help students learn vocabulary words.
TPR or Total physical response is when students learn using physical
movements and repetition. The video shows a TPR sequence in which students follow
movements, gestures and pictures. The students are kindergartners learning short
sentences through TPR. They are assessed at the end of the lesson.THis video might be
 ?docid=-9127686640797781920# useful as an exam[ple of using TPR.

Week 9 Professor Jack C. Richards- teaching principles

We are generally taught specific methods and use those until we gain more experience and

become the basis for which we make decisions. We should ask ourselves what principles are we 4

Diane Larsen-Freeman- techniques and principles in language teaching
v=cNSmrbkYKx8
Three of the many reasons for studying methods for teaching language:
1. Can help clarify our own language about language learning, language teaching
and language
2. Can give us a wide repertoire of new activities with which to experiment 3
3. Challenge our existing thinking
Challenging our existing thinking helps us to see the language learner as a whole person.
Language teaching methods have gone through various stages, like TPR, Communicative, etc.
This evolution has taught us to see the learner as a whole and to change our strategies to aid the
learner in better ways. We should continue to be aware and adjust as needed to ensure the best
learning experience for our students. Good ideas to work with.

is body language, facial expressions, and other nonverbal cues, while 55% of communication is
from the context (so suggestopedia creates an environment).

Week 11 Total Physical Response
Observing Standards-in-Action: Students learn by listening and imitating the teacher. The order must be kept at first, but after can be
mixed up. The students are doing motions with the sentences. Then the teacher asks the students to
ESL Classroom Lesson
http://www.youtube.com/watch? demonstrate the movements as he states the sentences. The students are able to produce the 4
motions for each sentence he states. This relates to the kinder classes that use motions to go with the
v=aQusQWPjdMo
letters and sounds the students are learning. The motion is often easier for the students to produce
than the sentence or idea verbally. Good concept that I have seen work in classrooms
Lesson Planning

Lesson Planning/ Take Away Value of a Lesson
watch?v=IHV-
This was a good video for a new perspective on lesson plans. Professor Jack Richards states that
73BwzOg&feature=relmfu
plans are a resource, and though we are required to fill them out completely in teacher programs,
many experienced teachers choose to use more mental lesson plans than on paper. It is important to
Take Away Value of a Lesson
think abou the material and what you want the students to take away. He also says that lessons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
should be used more like a guide, that it is better to drop parts that are not working, or follow the way 4
v=
the lesson is going that is beneficial to the students rather than staying with the exact lesson plan
XeV9ognfvq4&feature=relmfu
created. Things may happen to change the course of the lesson, and that is alright. Teachers need to
focus more on what the takeaways are from the lesson rather than getting through all of the material.
Total Physical Response (TPR) -
This professor encourages teachers to think outside the box, not to simply follow the rules as they were

12 ESL: Speaking Real English

How Much Are The Peppers? (2 of 4) The creative use of a story that is added to after each student retells the story is an interesting and fun
way to get the students motivated and engaged in the learning process. The stories get longer and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
ctUpTO5DijQ crazier, so the students are talking more and more and thinking about what they are saying. They are 4
speaking in their own words rather than a rote answer they might do in other classes. Students
Teaching English to Adults language will improve with use of the language. This is a good example of authentic language use and
how students can have fun while learning.
