Principle 3 – Best Practice 1: Teachers prepare lessons with clear language objectives and share the objectives with their students.

 

Trainer(s): _________

20”

 

  1. Introduce Best Practice 1: Teachers prepare lessons with clear language objectives and share the objectives with their students.
  2. Discuss the four questions teachers need to ask when they are developing objectives.

 ●What do my students specifically need to understand when they listen?

●What do my students specifically need to say when they speak?

●What do my students specifically need to understand when they read?

●What do my students specifically need to write about?

Trainers hang these important Notes on the board and ask participants to discuss them.

 

 Introduce and discuss language functions as what students DO with the language using these examples:
* Orally name five things you need to take on vacation.
* Orally compare the weather in your city to the weather in Paris.
* Describe what is happening in a picture of a beach in five or more sentences.
* Sequence the events of a story you read about Olga’s trip to Samarkand.

 

Participants will be asked to contrast language functions with forms by saying that language forms are the structures (grammar) and vocabulary that students need to perform the function.

Use the “Orally compare the weather in your city to the weather in Paris” example to discuss the language forms we need to DO the function (weather vocabulary, comparatives, present simple).

  1. Discuss the importance of objectives being measurable and observable.
    After you create the objective, ask yourself these questions:
  • What will I observe each student do?
  • How can I measure each student’s success?

Remember, the clearer the objective is, the easier it will be to observe and measure!

  1. Discuss the four kinds of support teachers need to give students to help them master an objective.
    * vocabulary practice
    * grammar instruction
    * multiple opportunities for practice
    * focused feedback
  2. Discuss the importance of and ways to share objectives with students.
    * writing on the board/showing on the screen
    * reading aloud
    *demonstrating or modeling/showing examples
  3. Discuss the importance of finding ways to encourage students to participate.
    * enthusiasm
    * games
    * rewards
  4. Have participants Think-Pair-Share about more specific kinds of motivation they can give under the categories of enthusiasm, games, and rewards.

  2. Discuss the kinds of tools teachers can use to help students understand.
    * Scaffolding (hand and face expressions, pictures, simple English, common vocabulary, emphasizing important words)
    * Tools for Explaining (maps, charts/graphs, graphic organizers, pictures, real objects, video/audio clips, highlighted text, bilingual glossaries, picture dictionaries)
    * Demonstrations (modeling good English, role-playing an activity, helping students do written exercises with think-aloud examples, sharing good examples of essays, projects, etc.)
  3. Ask participants to share other ideas.
  4. Discuss ways teachers can adapt their language.
    * Speak clearly.
    * Speak at a slower speed for beginner students and a normal speed for advanced students.
    * Repeat information in different ways.
    * Use hand and facial expressions.

    * Stress important words
    * Write keywords when speaking.
  5. Ask participants to share other ideas.
  6. Discuss ways teachers can give clear directions.
    * Use the same classroom management and routines every day.
    * Give simple directions with patterned language (hand clapping, rhymes, hand and face expressions, signals).
    * Divide tasks into smaller parts.
    * Model every part of a task.

  1. Introduce Best Practice 3: Teachers have active classrooms where students can actively practice English with interesting topics.
  2. Discuss the different kinds of techniques that teachers can use to give students more opportunities to participate.
    * Be sure that you do not just rely on “good speakers” (Numbered Heads Together, Think-Pair-Share).
    * Ask follow-up questions (Say more on that . . . Do you agree or disagree with that?. . Why do you think that?. . Explain why you chose this answer.).
  3. Ask participants to share other ideas.
  4. Discuss the different kinds of techniques that teachers can use to ensure active participation throughout all four parts of a lesson: Starting, Building, Applying, Concluding.
    * Starting (Roving Charts, K-W-L, Four Corners, Anticipation Guides, Language Experience Approach)
    * Building (Sorting Tasks, Sentence Frames, Directed Reading-Thinking Activity, Reciprocal Thinking, Concept Mapping, T-Charts)
    * Applying (Dialogue Journals, Readers’ Theater, Text to Graphics and Back Again, Report Frames)

Ask the questions:

“What is routine?”

Ask PP to tell their answers to their peers.

Mini-lecture on benefits of using routine activities on the quality of the lesson (learners feel less anxious as steps are predictable, they act more independently as they have already experienced the same activities before)

Trainer: (mini-lecture)

Effective classroom routines have purpose and meaning far greater than simple management. As

you strive to establish good routines toward a communicative language classroom environment,

your students will increase in learning and use of the target language. This module will help you

explore different classroom routines you can apply to your teaching context while using English. Routines are important for promoting classroom management and establishing shared

expectations with your students. Students learn with less stress in environments with structure

and routines. Establishing routines can also develop students’ independent learning habits

because they know what to do with confidence.

 Give each group a passage (with steps of an activity that teaches questions) which is cut into three parts.

In groups, PP will read the pieces of passage and put them in order.

 

After that, the trainer asks the following  question:

What kind of questions is the teacher going to teach?

 

Text for cutting into pieces

 

Provide a context. Explain that they are going to use Wh-questions to ask and find out missing information about a girl who went on a trip.

“You are going to create and use Wh-questions who, what, when, where, which, why, and how to

find out about Lena and her recent trip. Let’s think about what you want to ask Lena.

 

 

Prepare questions for the activity.

“Class, Let’s brainstorm! Think about what kind of questions you can create to ask Lena about her trip and write them in your notebook.

 These are also useful types of questions that you and your students might use when

giving directions, having a conversation, and doing activities.

Where did Lena go?

Who did she go with?

How did she go?

When did

 

 

Give out a handout or note cards with the information needed to answer the questions. After the participants write down some questions, they are given information on a notecard about  Lena’s trip.
