test 1 Metodyka rok 2, nkjo.leg.pobrane materiały, Metodyka (Methodology)


  1. What is a syllabus?

A document that consists of a list of things that are to be taught during the course

Curriculum design: concerns planning, implementation (wdrażanie), evaluation, management, administration of education programmes + a list of what will be taught and in what order

Syllabus design: concerns (dotyczy) the selection of items to be learnt and the grading of those items into an appropriate sequence.

  1. What should a syllabus consist of?

  1. A list of items to be taught including both:

-content items (words, structures, topics)

-process items (methods, tasks)

2. The items are ordered (the easier, more essential first)

3. Aims or objectives

-long term

-Short term

  1. Materials- (textbooks) supplementary materials that you are going to use either in general or where relevant to certain items or sections

  2. Type and timing for evaluation of Ss' progress-

  3. Time schedule- set the time for the components

  4. Approach and methodology to be used- communicative, traditional

  5. type and timing for evaluation of the syllabus

  1. Who needs a syllabus:

Learners:

  1. to select a course

  2. to evaluate their learning

  3. to supplement a course

Ts:

  1. to plan their lessons

  2. to organise their time

  3. to evaluate their teaching and their Ss' progress

Administrators:

  1. to achieve uniformity of their courses and methods

  2. to describe their courses

  3. to select materials

  4. to place Ss in courses

  1. How do you design a syllabus?

1.Factors to consider before designing the syllabus:

  1. learners' needs (professional and linguistic)- gathering info about Ss and communication tasks for use in the syllabus design

  2. theories of lg teaching and learning (which theory will be appropriate)

  3. institution (time, resources, physical constraints, exams)

2.Syllabus design:

- goals, selecting grammar components, sel. Functional-notional components, grading content & learning tasks

3. Implementation

4. Evaluation

5. Re-design & re implementation

  1. Who designs a syllabus?

a)ministries, administrators, exam writers

b)textbook writers

c)Ts

d)Ts and learners- content & direction of the program is jointly & continuously negotiated between Ss & Ts

  1. Product vs. process oriented syllabuses.

Product syllabus- focuses on the means by which communicative skills will be brought about, it focuses on the learning experience e.g classroom drilling to learn the structure , interaction between 2 speakers as a process.

Process syllabus- focuses on the outcomes or end-products of a lg programme(a list of grammar structure, a tape recording of a conversation between 2 Ss

  1. Different types of syllabuses:

1. grammatical/ structural- a list of grammatical structures e.g. the present simple tense or comparison of adjectives, divided into sections which are usually graded according to difficulty or importance.

2. lexical- a list of lexis with collocations and idioms divided into grading sections.

3. grammatical-lexical- both, grammar structures and lexis are specified and put together into one section or in two separate lists.

4. situational- the real life context is the basis of this syllabus. The sections are headed by names of the situations or locations, e.g. “in the street” “at the bank” “at the travel agent”

5. topic-based - a list of topics, e.g. “the family”, “animals”, “food” which also indicate a fairly clear set of vocabulary which may be specified.

6. notional- notions are things that lg can express e.g. number, place, colour, time.

7. functional-notional- functions are things that you can do with lg, as the distinct from notions you can express, e.g. denying, promising, analysing.

8. mixed or multi-strand- many concepts are specified, e.g. tasks, lexis, grammar, notions, functions, to make the syllabus maximally comprehensive and helpful to the T and learners.

9. procedural/ task-based- task are specified rather then lg itself, e.g. “reading maps”, “doing scientific experiments”, “story writing”.

10. skills based- e.g. listening, reading

11. content based- specialist subject matter, e.g. computing, medicine.

12. process- the only syllabus that is not pre-set, the content of the course is negotiated with Ss and listed retrospectively retrospectively.

  1. Synthetic and analytic approach to syllabus design.

1. Synthetic- the content is divided into discreet list of items which are taught separately. The task for the Ss is to reintegrate the elements in communication. The lg is a subject in itself:

Dangers:

-the lg learning is nit completed before the whole grammatical syllabus has been mastered

-it is not practical from the learner's point of view because he has to match the knowledge of the forms with their functions, because there is no one-to -one correspondence between functions and forms.

2. Analytic- a syllabus based non-linguistic units such as : topics, setting, situation, Ss are exposed to holistic chunks of lg & are supposed to extract patterns & regularities from these, lg-> a vehicle for communication

  1. Autonomy - control your own learning, learners have individual needs and learning styles (learner centred instruction = step towards autonomy)

  1. Learning styles - preferred way of learning may be influenced by biographical factors or innately endowed factors. Types of learning styles are often presented in p….. ? (analytic versus global)

  2. Learning strategies - techniques or behaviours that L's consciously apply in order to enhance their learning (while reading L's look up and record new words for later review).

  1. Promotion of Autonomy:

-the course should reflect learners (goals/tasks/strategies)

- raising awareness

- specifying objectives

- make Ss to think about how they learn

- more they think more they are able to change

Strategies: Social/Metacognitive/Compensation/Cognitive/Affective/Memory

  1. T styles: Autocratic, laissez - faire, Paternalistic, Consultative, Participatory, Democratic

  2. Why it is so important to make Ss aware of different learning strategies?

  1. Ryba czy wędka? : Autonomy = personal activities of the learner in a foreign language communication, independence in making, doing and evaluating tasks. Involves the gradual reduction of dependence on the teacher, but he is needed, his task is not to restrain student's initiative but to set boundaries of an action. Developing of autonomy is possible in school and outside it. There are various techniques and methods of building autonomy. The biggest problem is the selection of appropriate materials from their enormous amount. You can give your student a fish or a fishing rod.

  1. Compare learning styles and learning strategies:

Learning styles:

- reflectivity / impulsivity (longer, less mistakes / faster, a lot of mistakes)

- relying on narrow categories / wide (W = too broad generalization)

- dependence / independence from the field (n = better in perceiving details)

- dominant type perceptual - the freedom to choose the ways they consider most efficient.

Strategies:

-metacognitive - general planning, preparatory, control and evaluation actions

- cognitive = methods of better understanding

- social and affective - interactions with others

  1. How to develop responsibility and autonomy.

Responsible Ls - accept the idea that their own efforts are crucial to progress in learning and behave accordingly, willing to cooperate. They consciously monitor their own progress and make an effort to use available opportunities to their benefit, including classroom activities and homework. We need 2 develop:

- motivation and self-confidence

- monitoring and evaluation (focus on process),

- cooperation and group cohesion

- learning strategies

- sharing information with the learner

- consistent control

- delegating tasks and decisions (make Ss more involved)

Developing L's responsibility:
- raising awareness,

- changing attitudes

- transferring roles

Self- Instruction - (Jones, 1998; cf. Benson, 2001: 131), it is "a deliberate long-term learning project instigated, planned and carried out by the learner alone, without teacher intervention"

The key concern of Learner Autonomy is not so much whether learning is carried out by the learner (as with autodidaxy), but whether it is controlled by the learner. In autonomous learning, learners take their own responsibility for goal-setting, materials selection, learning activities and/or assessment, instead of a teacher or self-study materials being in overall charge (e.g. Holec, 1979; Brookfield, 1986: 40; Benson, 2001).

Autonomy - readiness and ability to take charge of one's own learning. This involves skills and attitudes which are not necessarily automatic and which, therefore need developing. A certain degree of autonomy is always worth encouraging because it raises motivation and speeds up progress. it involves students reflecting on what makes an efficient learner and gives them the skills to become one, using the vast range of resources available to them as efficiently as possible.

Steps directing Ss towards autonomy:

  1. Analysing needs. (discussion, checklist)

  2. 4. Raising awareness (Five students, Find someone who questionnaire)

  3. 5. Handling resources (Discovery questionnaire, Dictionary quiz, Coursebook quiz)

  4. 6. Giving choice.

  5. 7. Evaluating progress (Student self-evaluation form)

Aspects of teacher's work taken into consideration while discussing teacher autonomy:

It is much easier to become autonomous teacher if you were autonomous learner because you can predict and understand problems that you may face. (Vieira, Smith)

Autonomy is a fundamental right of individual. It allows you to form your own opinions and be critical towards anything that limits autonomy. (Benson, McGrath)

Teacher has to be a good model of the target language in order to not only communicate freely and pass the knowledge but also to build his/her confidence which helps him/her avoid routine, not stick to controlled practice only and uncritically follow the course book.

Autonomy, among some other factors, determines if a teacher is a professional or not. Teacher should never stop learning how to teach, he/she needs to develop and be flexible so that it is easier to build students' autonomy. Teacher has to be aware of processes taking place while learning a foreign language and his/her role in this process.

Teacher autonomy can be defined as the teacher's ability and willingness to help learners take responsibility for their own learning.

Dickinson identifies five characteristics of autonomous learners:

The roles of teacher in process of autonomization,

Two steps - strategies.

Why autonomy is a important in learning foreign languages?

1. Identify needs in learning.

2. Establishing aims.

3. Planning exercises and learning techniques.

4. Searching for sources and materials.

5. Cooperation with other group members.

6. Identify problems to be solved.

7. Choice of location and time of learning.

8. Treatment of the teacher as an advisor and guide, not only as an instructor.

9. Taking action, voluntary, beside ones set by the teacher.

10. Self-esteem.

11. Learning outside the classroom.

12. Deciding about when to finish study.

13. Reflecting on the essence of language learning.

14. The realization that the decisions are binding for the entire study period, or even for life.

1. Identify what he learned.

2. Determine his own learning objectives.

3. Select and use - often consciously and responsibly - learning strategies.

4. Control his own use of learning strategies.

5. To control his own process of learning the language.

INTERJĘZYK (English interlanguage) is a separate system resulting from the student's efforts to get closer in the active use of language to the standards set by native speakers.

Corder Classification - communication strategies are systematic techniques used by the speaker in the event of difficulties in expressing the proper meaning:

E. Tajone Classification - Communication strategies are systematic attempts of students to express specified meaning in a foreign language, in situations when the appropriate rules of the language have not yet been established.

Fearcha and Kasper Classification - communication strategies are potentially conscious plans to overcome what seems to be an obstacle in achieving a particular purpose communication for a particular person.

Learning strategies are Specific variety of thinking and behavior that are used by a student to help him in understanding, learning and memorizing new information.

Indirect strategies - support lg learning without directly involving the target lg.

Metacognitive strategies - help the learners control their learning process by centring, arranging, planning and self-evaluating

Affective strategies - help Ss control their emotions, motivations and attitudes. There are different types of affective strategies: lowering your anxiety, encouraging yourself

Social strategies - help Ss learn through interaction with others by asking questions or cooperating with others.

Learning strategies - behaviors or actions with learners use to make lg learning more successful, self-directed and enjoyable.
