-Errors are not immediately addressed because it is a social norm to overlook language errors (meaning over form) 
- No sequence 
- Lack of emphasis on metalinguistic knowledge ]]> 2017-09-13 02:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187021923 group 3 https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022031 -errors immediately corrected (generally)
- student/student interaction 
- structure of language (i.e. grammar)
- linguistic and social guidance 
- access to qualified teaching staff 
- practice activities provided 
- provides a good language learning environment ]]> 2017-09-13 02:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022031 Group 2 https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022032 -You get to choose the discussion topic 
-Colloquial terms are more useful for conversation and you are exposed to them through communication and movies etc
-More confidence because no one is correcting your errors, unless you ask
-More time spent learning- picking up more words, syntax, starting to think in that language 
-Variety of proficient users of the language, various discourse 
-Meaning/interaction is more important than accuracy
-Not much modified input, unless it is a one on one conversation, which helps make up for lack of instructional learning

- no choice but to interact; can cause negative connotations with languge  = harder to learn
- limited variety topics learnt
- set path of what you have to learn, when you have to learn it
- pass/fail mentality

Interlocutor modifies input/ makes it available to the learner in many 1  on 1 conversations ]]> 2017-09-13 02:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022162 G8 -Less time learning, only during classes, a few hours a week https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022274 -Focues more on correct use, not on the context
-The teacher may be the only proficient user of L2]]> 2017-09-13 02:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022274 G7 https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022279 -New material, although tailored to learners is very limited.
- Time is also very limited, only a few hours a week
- There may not be any native or proficient speaker other than the teacher.
- There is a very limited range of discourse types and contexts learners are exposed to.
- Very structural, learners are exposed to a particular way of speaking then expected use this even when other forms are more appropriate. 
-Pressure to speak correctly disadvantages learner output.]]> 2017-09-13 02:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022279 Lack of exposure to native speakers aside from teachers https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022327 2017-09-13 02:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022327 Group 1 https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022527 - wide range of exposure to new material 
- more opportunities to spend time learning,  compared to set hours in a classroom 
- accidental learning time 
- lots of exposure to different proficient users of L2, and different accents 
- lots of different types of contexts: touristic, shopping, conversation etc
- not as much pressure to get it right compared to classroom, more opportunities for negotiation of meaning ]]> 2017-09-13 02:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022527 G7 https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022565 Focuses on trying to get the grammar correct rather than any meaningful interaction in a conversation. ]]> 2017-09-13 02:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nxnchimai/SLAT2001_Week8/wish/187022565
