SEDU 718 TESOL: DYI Guide
Intro to Dave • PhD in Applied Linguistics • MA in TESOL & Applied Linguistics • 4 years teaching EFL in Japan • 5 years teaching ESOL in USA • Now teaching ESOL for Ed’s at Upstate
Food 4 Thought • Write a 25 word definition for: • Language • Learning • Teaching
Compare, Contrast, Collaborate • Compare definitions • Identify key similarities • Identify key differences • Negotiate classroom definitions for each
Linguistic Competence • Systematic // Generative • Vocal // Visual • Arbitrary symbols • Conventionalized meanings • Communicative • Community-based • Essentially human • Universal acquisition
So What? • Given the list above • What points must a teacher care about? • How can these points translate into our teaching? • What should/must be explicit? • What can/should be implicit/subconscious? • What other points are critical • About language or language learning?
Historical Approaches To Language Teaching
From Socrates’ time & before Grammar Translation わたし • 私はデーブです。
Circa WWI…, perhaps… Direct Approach What time is it? - I • Excuse me. Can you tell me the time, please? • Yes, of course. It's four o'clock. • Thank you. • No problem. What time is it? - II • What time is it? • It's three “o” five. • Thanks. • You're welcome.
Grammar Vocabulary Translation (back toward Grammar-Translation…) Following WWI…, perhaps… Reading Approach
Circa WWII… Audiolingualism • e.g. Berlitz tapes • Listen & repeat • Total control • Avoid errors • cf. Behavioralism… (Pavlov, etc)
Shadows Audiolingualism, but in Brittan… Oral-Situational • Get ‘em talking • Keep it relevant • Similar to Audiolingualism, but with focus on function…
Circa 1970s Cognitive Approach • Language as “acquired” rules(not parroting of phrases or habits) • Individualized instruction & responsibility • Errors are welcomed
Circa 1980s Affective-Humanistic • Respect for feelings • Meaningful communication • Pairs and groups • Teacher as counselor/facilitator • Teacher must speak both L1 & L2
Circa 1980-00s Comprehension-Based • Listening is primary • i +1 • Learn rules & use them to self monitor • Self-correction, not teacher correction
Circa 1970-00s Communicative • Communication is primary • Semantic & social issues included • Pairs/groups • Negotiate meaning • Authentic materials • Teacher as coach
Specific Methods • Silent Way(Gattegno, 1976) • Community Language Learning(Curran, 1976) • Total Physical Response(Asher, 1977) • Suggestopedia (Accelerated Learning)(Lozanov, 1978)
