Teaching Procedures:1) Information about language and language learning Three views about the n

12、ature of language: There are many possible theoretical positions about the nature of language. Here are three different views which explicitly or implicitly is reflected in current approaches to language learning. A. The structural view of languageThe structural view of language is that language is

13、a system of structurally related elements for the transmission of meaning. a. These elements are usually described as phonological units (phonemes) grammatical units (phrases, clauses, sentences) grammatical operations (adding, shifting, joining or transforming elements) lexical items (function word

14、s and structure words) b. Target of language learning The target of language learning, in the structural view, is the mastery of elements of this system. c. Methods based on this view Some of the language learning methods based on this view of language are:the Audiolingual method Total Physical Resp

15、onse the Silent WayB. The communicative view of languageThe communicative, or functional view of language is the view that language is a vehicle for the expression of functional meaning. The semantic and communicative dimensions of language are more emphasized than the grammatical characteristics, a

16、lthough these are also included.a. Here are some of the areas of research in this view of language: sociolinguistics ; pragmatics ; semantics b. Target of language learning : The target of language learning is to learn to express communication functions and categories of meaning c. Approaches and me

17、thods based on this view Some of the language learning approaches and methods based on this view of language are: communicative approaches functional-notional syllabuses The Natural Approach C. The interactional view of languageThe interactional view of language sees language primarily as the means

18、for establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships and for performing social transactions between individuals. a. Here are some of the areas of research in this view of language:interactional analysis conversational analysis ethnomethodology b. Target of language learning: The target of la

19、nguage learning in the interactional view is learning to initiate and maintain conversations with other people.c.

20、ng Methods in the Language Classroom: HYPERLINK /flbrain/SPANactivities.htm HYPERLINK /flbrain/SPANactivities.htm FL teachers must provide students with adequate teaching methodology and time, as well as appropriate vocabulary and learning activities that will allow for the development of verbal ski

21、lls.There is no single BEST WAY to teach. The question teachers must address is which methods are best employed during the different stages of the teaching and learning process and then design curriculum to meet their final objectives/goals.a. Grammar Translation:The Grammar Translation method start

22、ed around the time of Erasmus (1466-1536). Its primary focus is on memorization of verb paradigms, grammar rules, and vocabulary. Application of this knowledge was directed on translation of literary texts-focusing of developing students appreciation of the target languages literature as well as tea

23、ching the language. Activities utilized in todays classrooms include: questions that follow a reading passage; translating literary passages from one language to another; memorizing grammar rules; memorizing native-language equivalents of target language vocabulary. (Highly structured class work wit

24、h the teacher controlling all activities.)b. Direct Method:The Direct Method was introduced by the German educator Wilhelm Vitor in the early 1800s. Focusing on oral language, it requires that all instruction be conducted in the target language with no recourse to translation. Reading and writing ar

25、e taught from the beginning, although speaking and listening skills are emphasized-grammar is learned inductively. It has a balanced, four-skill emphasis.c. The Silent Way:The teacher is active in setting up classroom situations while the students do most of the talking and interaction among themsel

26、ves. All four skills (listening, speaking, reading & writing) are taught from the beginning. Student errors are expected as a normal part of learning; the teachers silence helps to foster self-reliance and student initiative.d. Community Language Learning:Teachers recognize that learning can be thre

27、atening and by understanding and accepting students fears, they help their students feel secure and overcome their fears of language learning-ultimately providing students with positive energy directed at language learning. Students choose what they want to learn in the class and the syllabus is lea

28、rner-generated.e. Natural Approach:Introduced by Gottlieb Henese and Dr. L. Sauveur in Boston around 1866. The Natural Approach is similar to the Direct Method, concentrating on active demonstrations to convey meaning by associating words and phrases with objects and actions. Associations are achiev

29、ed via mime, paraphrase and the use of manipulatives. Terrell (1977) focused on the principles of meaningful communication, comprehension before production, and indirect error correction. Krashens (1980) input hypothesis is applied in the Naturale. Reading Method:The reading method was prominent in

30、the U.S. following the Committee of Twelve in 1900 and following the Modern Foreign Language Study in 1928. The earlier method was similar to the traditional Grammar/Translation method and emphasized the transference of linguistic understanding to English. Presently, the reading method focuses more

31、on silent reading for comprehension purposes.f. ASTP and the Audiolingual Method:This approach is based on the behaviorist belief that language learning is the acquisition of a set of correct language habits. The learner repeats patterns and phrases in the language laboratory until able to reproduce

32、 them spontaneously.ASTP (Army Specialized Training Program) was an intensive, specialized approach to language instruction used in during the 1940s. In the postwar years, the civilian version of ASTP and the audiolingual method featured memorization of dialogues, pattern drills, and emphasis on pro

33、nunciation.g. Cognitive Methods:Cognitive methods of language teaching are based on meaningful acquisition of grammar structures followed by meaningful practice.h. Communicative Methods:The goal of communicative language approaches is to create a realistic context for language acquisition in the cla

34、ssroom. The focus is on functional language usage and the ability to learners to express their own ideas, feelings, attitudes, desires and needs. Open ended questioning and problem-solving activities and exchanges of personal information are utilized as the primary means of communication. Students u

35、sually work with authentic materials (authentic realia) in small groups on communication activities, during which they receive practice in negotiating meaning.i. Total Physical Response Method:This approach to second language teaching is based on the belief that listening comprehension should be ful

36、ly developed before any active oralparticipation from students is expected (just as it is with children when theyare learning their native language) .James Ashers Total Physical Response:Skills in second language acquisition can be more rapidly assimilated if the teacher appeals to the students kinesthetic-sensory system. Asher believes that understanding of the spoken language must be developed in advance of speaking.Understanding and retention is best achieved through movement (total movement of the students bodies) in response to command sequences.
