  3. GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD LANGUAGE IS TREATED AT SENTENCE LEVEL KEY SKILLS ARE READING AND GRAMMAR STUDENTS BUILD ON TRANSLATION SKILLS ALMOST ALL THE TEACHING OCCURS IN L1 THERE IS LITTLE OR NON-SPOKEN COMMUNICATION IN L2

  4. DIRECT METHOD ( end of XIX century) • FAVORED TEACHER AND STUDENTS SPEAKING TOGETHER • RELATED GRAMMATICAL FORMS TO OBJECTS AND PICTURES • ONLY L2 WAS USED IN THE CLASSROOM • INPUT STUDENTS RECEIVE = INTAKE THEY ABSORB

  5. READING APROACH (1920-1940) • EMPHASIS WAS PUT ON: READING SKILLS • READING COMPREHENSION IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE SKILL EMPHASIZED • TRANSLATION IS RESPECTABLE CLASSROOM PROCEDURE

  6. AUDIOLINGUAL METHOD (1940,1950, 1960) LANGUAGE LEARNING IS GOVERNED BY: - HABIT FORMATION - CONSTANT REPETITION OF CORRECT UTTERANCES SUPPORTED BY REINFORCEMENT. - MEMORIZATION Presentation Practice Production

  11. THE INPUT HYPOTHESIS input + 1 For acquisition to occur, the acquirer must understand the meaning of the message (not concentrate on the form) by relying on their knowledge of the world and the context situation.

  12. THE MONITOR HYPOTHESIS Acquisition initiates our utterances and is responsible for our fluency. Learning has the function of "monitor" or "editor“. It requires time , focus on form, and knowing the rule.

  13. NATURAL ORDER HYPOTHESIS Language acquisition of grammatical structures has a certain predictable order

  14. LEV VYGOTSKI (1896 – 1934) Learning is mediated by social interaction Each individual learns distinctivelyprior knowledge and past experiences are important to make sense of new situationsLanguage plays a central role in cognitive developmentThe development of High Order Thinking skills must be promotedLanguage skills are critical in the creation of meaningZPD

  16. WHAT DETERMINES THE SUCCESS OF A TEP? STEP 1

  17. Which other professional should be part of the TEP team? What is the teachers´ profile needed for this program? Which are the specific objectives of the course? Who are your learners?

  18. “ A thoughtwhich has notpenetratedtootherminds, will die unfruitful” Quoted in Steve Aaronson “Style in ScientificWriting” Who are your learners ? Which are their strengths and areas of improvement in English ? Which are their background experiences ? What interests do they have ? Which are their talents and their passions , and values ?

  19. “The 21st centuryskillistobeabletofollowone´sownpassion (s) as one´sownabilityallows” Marc Prensky Which are the specific objectives of the course?

  20. “A scientist can notgovoyagingthroughstrange seas of thoughtalone” John R. Platt The teaching team should work together to nurture their potentials towards the achievement of a common goal. Team up efficiently to reach a consensus on: The teaching approach, The curriculum development The syllabus design The assessment measures and tests Resources available to expand students potentials Time for preparation, peer teacher, peer observation
