If you have an empty fridge, can you make a recipe? • Fridge=English knowledge (“schema”) • Recipe/dish=Sentences/thoughts in English • If you don’t have any English stored, how can you make sentences and express thoughts?
But Remember . . . • Even if students have just a little “food” in the fridge, they should still make simple “recipes” with them! • From the beginning, students should be speaking and attempting to express their own thoughts in English!
2 Ways of Processing: • Top-Down: Listen for the big picture or overall message (ex: listening to a friend’s story) • Bottom-Up: Listen for discrete details (ex: listening to a recipe or directions)
Top-Down vs. Bottom Up • Do activities to develop both! • Top-Down: Stories/books • Bottom-Up: Listen and Do exercises; TPR; Information Gap
Teach Chunks • Lexical Approach: Michael Lewis, 1993 • Native speakers have thousands of stored phrases that they use readily
Fixed Chunks • Fixed Chunks: These groups of words are complete and ready to use • Examples: • See you later, • Have a good day, • It’s OK, • No problem
