Vocabulary teaching and learning strategies can be effective ways to help students build their word knowledge. Some key strategies discussed in the document include Nation's strategies of using context clues, word parts, and dictionaries. Code-mixing, where words from the first and second language are combined, was found to help students learn new second language words. Read-aloud strategies, where the teacher reads aloud and discusses meanings, allowed students to successfully gain new vocabulary. Story-telling was also shown to help children derive word meanings from context. Spelling instruction in addition to pronunciation was found to better help students remember words.Teaching listening meeting april 2th 2015

TASK BASED LEARNINGmeymirah
Ìý
Task-based language learning involves presenting students with meaningful tasks to complete rather than focusing on language structures. A task requires students to use language to arrive at an outcome and engages cognitive processing. Effective tasks mirror real-world activities like talking to a doctor. This approach motivates students and gives them confidence to use the language. It also exposes them to a variety of natural language through collaboration. Teachers take on roles like preparing students and raising consciousness of language used. Students work in groups and provide feedback to one another, taking risks and innovating with language. While it can encourage ambitious language use, some students may rely too heavily on others and large classes present implementation challenges.Teaching Reading Skills

The Natural Approach method was developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell in 1983. It is based on Krashen's theories of language acquisition, including the idea that adults can acquire a second language naturally through meaningful interaction alone, without formal instruction. In the Natural Approach classroom, the teacher focuses on meaning over form and does not correct errors. Learners progress through three stages, first developing listening skills, then speaking with errors, and finally extended discourse. The teacher acts as a facilitator and encourages a "silent period" where students listen before speaking. While it creates a low-anxiety environment, the Natural Approach has been criticized for being slow and leaving grammatical development to chance.Community language learning

Lip reading, also called speech reading, involves determining the meaning of speech by observing visual cues like lip movements, facial expressions, and gestures. It is difficult because only parts of speech are visible and many words look alike on the lips. Expert lip readers can only accurately understand about 66% of speech. There are four main approaches to teaching lip reading skills: analytic, synthetic, pragmatic, and holistic. The analytic approach focuses on the smallest units like syllables and sounds, while the synthetic approach emphasizes understanding overall meaning through context clues. The pragmatic approach prioritizes effective communication strategies and modifying the speaking environment.Listening power point York Teachmeet

This document discusses using authentic websites in English language teaching and provides examples of lesson plans that utilize non-educational websites. It recommends authentic websites as they can be chosen to fit students' interests, provide opportunities for total comprehension, and foster independent learning. Two sample lesson plans are included, one involving students discussing weird foods from different countries using online sources and another having students research an animal and its habitat from a wildlife website to create an informational brochure. Teachers are tasked with finding their own non-educational website to use, preparing a 5-minute lesson plan description, and sending the full lesson plan to be graded based on criteria like addressing the four parts of the ABCD model and incorporating critical thinking.Trip planner

Teaching for multiple intelligencesWilliam Sastoque

This document summarizes the integration of learning styles theory and multiple intelligences theory proposed by Silver, Strong, and Perini. It begins by briefly outlining both theories independently, noting their complementary strengths and limitations. Specifically, learning styles theory focuses on individual differences in learning processes, while multiple intelligences theory centers on content and products of learning. The authors then describe a three-step process to integrate the theories: 1) describing learning styles abilities for each intelligence, 2) linking styles and intelligences to sample vocations, and 3) categorizing assessment products by intelligence and style. The result is a model linking the individualized process approach of styles with the content-focused intelligences theory.Teaching listening
