What are the five important component of Language Teaching?
Students, Teachers, Materials, Teaching Methods, and Evaluation
He states that teaching materials are often the most substantial and observable components of the pedagogy.
Nunan (1992)
It must also be with a touch of creativity and innovation; Manifest your styles including the needs and interest of the learner.
Materials
Includes anything which can be used to facilitate the learning of a language.
Materials
This aids the instruction.
Materials
Materials can be what according to Tomlinson, 2012?
Linguistic, Visual, Auditory, or Kinaesthetic
Aside from what Tomlinson said, materials can also be…?
Instructional, Experiential, Elicitation, and Exploratory
This deals with the selection, adaptation, and creation of teaching materials.
Materials Development
What are the 5 Macro-Skills?
Listening, Reading, Speaking, Writing, and Viewing
These are receptive skills that requires the learners to discern the language communicated.
Listening and Reading
These are productive skills that requires learners to communicate.
Speaking and Writing
This macro skill refers to perceiving, examining, interpreting, and construct meaning to improve comprehension.
Viewing
This principle should arouse the interests of the learner.
Materials should achieve impact
How can the materials achieve impact?
Novelty, Variety, Attractive Presentation, Appealing Content, and Achievable Challenge
This principle refers to the materials that are suited to the level of learners comprehension, presented in a way that learners can understand the discussion easily, and uses simple words and illustrations.
Materials should help learners feel at ease.
In this principle, Tomlinson stated that relaxed and self-confident learners learn faster.
Materials should help learners to develop confidence.
In this principle, it is said that simulations are effective in providing communicative activities.
What is being taught should be perceived by learners as relevant and useful.
This promotes concept attainment through experiential practice.
Simulations
The principle that states that learners profit most if
they invest interest, effort, and attention in the learning activity.
Materials should require and facilitate learner self-investment
The principle where Tomlinson stated that certain structures are acquired only when learners are mentally ready for them.
Learners must be ready to acquire the points being taught
The principle where it is stated that learners should be aware of a gap between a particular feature of their interlanguage and the equivalent feature in the target
language.
The learners’ attention should be drawn to linguistic features of the input
The principle where learners should be given opportunities to use language for communication
rather than just to practice it.
Materials should provide the learners with opportunities to use the target language to achieve communicative purposes
Activities that can be done for interaction will be achieved.
Information or Opinion Gap Acts, Post-listening and Post-reading Acts, Creative Writing and creative speaking acts, and Formal Instruction.
This exposes learners to features that are not the focus of the lesson.
Formal Instruction
The principle that states that it is important for materials to recycle instruction and to provide frequent and ample exposure to the instructed language features in communicative use.
Materials should take into account the positive effects of instruction are usually delayed
The principle that states that different learners have different preferred learning styles.
Materials should take into account that learners differ in learning styles
What are the different styles of learning
Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Studio, Experiential, Analytic, Global, Dependent, and Independent
A style of learning where learners prefer to see the language written down
Visual
A style of learning where learners prefer to hear the language
Auditory
