What is the mode of communication? Ø Small group discussion Ø Share findings
Interpersonal Communication IS NOT: One-way communication Memorized Only asking (all) the questions IS: Two-way exchange Spontaneous (and unpredictable) Helping each other Strict turn taking Following-up and reacting; maintaining the conversation Ignoring your partner; waiting to say something Indicating interest: interactive body language; eye contact Overly concerned about accuracy Focusing on the message (fluency) Giving up when you don’t understand If communication fails/falters, asking for clarification
Scaffolding communication Encouraging student confidence
Functional Chunks of Language ü Students don’t get enough opportunities to use the target language. Teachers do most of the talking. ü Functional Chunks of Language phrases or words that students learn as a chunk without necessarily understanding the structure. ü Students learn where and when to say them (i. e. the function). ü Functional Chunks of Language empower students to use the language early and often.
Functional Chunks of Language • • • • How do you say…in…. ? What does …mean in…? How do you spell…? I forget my… Can I borrow a… I need a … Can I go to the bathroom. I’m not feeling well? What page? Can you repeat that please? Can you please say that more slowly? What is the homework? Can we start the homework now? What is the date?
Functional Chunks of Language
Language Ladders ü Words or phrases that are linked together because of a common function or meaning. ü Similar way to Functional Chunks, but with variety and choice. ü Various possibilities and students choose depending on how they feel about a topic or how formal or informal they should be with the language that they are using. ü Offer students an opportunity to personalize their language.
Language Ladders Language Ladder that students can access to say why they don’t have their homework: • • • I was very busy with other homework I was very tired I did not feel well/I was sick I had to go out with my family I did not understand the directions I forgot my book in school I wrote down the wrong assignment I had a late sports practice My dog ate it
Fluency and Accuracy Ø Fluency: § The natural use of language that occurs when a speaker takes part in meaningful interaction. § Maintains communication despite inaccuracy. § Require negotiation of meaning and addresses misunderstandings. Ø Accuracy: § Focuses on creating correct of language use and structure.
Fluency and Accuracy ² Fluency-Focused Activities: • Reflect natural use of language • Focus on achieving communication • Focus on meaningful use of language • Employ communication strategies • Do not use predictable language • Link language use to context ² Accuracy-Focused Activities: • Focus on correct examples of language • Use language out of context • Focus on producing small amounts of language • Don’t focus on meaningful communication • Dictate language structures and vocabulary
Fluency and Accuracy Ø There is a place for both types of activities in the foreign language classroom. Ø Traditional teaching methods have focused more attention on accuracy of language at the expense of fluency. Ø In the communicative language classroom instruction should provide a balanced approach that gives students opportunities to build fluency, while at the same time tending to the accuracy of their language.
Target Language Use o Students often revert to their native language when doing group work. Consider the following when creating activities. ü Is the activity at the right level for the students? ü Are all the students actively involved and is the activity stimulating and of interest to the group and individual students? ü Is the timing of the activity hindering the execution? ü Are students using the target language even when they know the teacher is not listening?
