Phonics Vs Whole Language (Dr Sha)

shariffahbahyah — 2022-04-12 07:41:18 UTC

Location: Singapore
Status of English: Main medium of communication
Age of students: 14

I will use whole language because the students are older and will be able to memorise the difficult words. In addition, since English is the main medium of communication, they are immersed in the language.

Phonic vs Whole Language (Najwa)

nnaars12 — 2022-04-12 07:46:10 UTC

Location: Terengganu, Malaysia.
Status of students' English proficiency: low proficiency & English as the second language.
Age of students: 9-10 years old.

I will use the whole language approach because it is the process of reading and remembering complete words. Since my students have low proficiency in English therefore it is best if reading English words is taught by using sight word cards or a list of words that they need to remember and understand the meaning.

Phonics vs Whole Language (Amirul)

amirulmamon — 2022-04-12 07:47:11 UTC

Location: Japan
Status of English: Foreign language
Proficiency: Poor
Age: 10 - 14

I will use the phonics approach because the students may have little to no knowledge of the English language. The students may have difficulties understanding the English syllables so using this approach will help them get some ideas on how a word is pronounced in English. Moreover, English is a completely different language from Japanese so it will be difficult if I were to use the whole language approach.

English as a foreign language and poor proficiency

Phonics has been regarded as an effective method to help primary English learners to understand the relationship

between English alphabetic writing and their sound patterns. Those skills are highlighted in china English teaching, so I will use Phonics approach

Imagine yourself teaching a group of students who have POOR proficiency in English. First determine whom you will be teaching: Location of students (Malaysia / Other countries)For other countries: Status of English Age of students Which approach do you think is best for this group of students? Why?

jasminemuhamednasr — 2022-04-12 07:52:38 UTC

Phonics-based reading instruction is a methodology for teaching young children to read and spell words. The teacher introduces a series of spelling rules and teaches the child to apply phonetics (how the letter combinations sound out loud) to decode words based on their spellings.
Students in Egypt they have a problem with pronunciation and spelling. they don't now the difference between sounds.

《Romance of The Three Kingdoms》 is a long historical romance novel written by Luo Guanzhong, a novelist in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, based on Chen Shou's Chronicles of The Three Kingdoms, Pei Songzhi's annotations and the folktales of The Three Kingdoms.
The Romance of The Three Kingdoms can be roughly divided into five parts: the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the warring of The Three Kingdoms, and the return of The Three Kingdoms to the Jin. It describes the history of nearly a hundred years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty.
It mainly describes wars. It tells the story of the warring kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the political and military struggles among The Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. Sima Yan finally unified The Three Kingdoms and established the Jin Dynasty. It reflects the transformation of various social struggles and contradictions in The Three Kingdoms period, summarizes the historical changes of this era, and shapes a group of all-powerful heroes of The Three Kingdoms.

Bottom-Up Vs Top Down (Sha)

shariffahbahyah — 2022-07-06 08:12:49 UTC

Bottom up - XXXXX
Top Down - XXXXX

What are the differences between the bottom-up and the top-down model? (Xu ailing )

xuailing0 — 2022-07-06 08:18:16 UTC

1. Focus：
In Bottom-Up Model, the focus is on identifying and resolving smallest problems and then integrating them together to solve the bigger problem.
In Top-down Model, the focus is on breaking the bigger problem into smaller one and then repeat the process with each problem.

2. Language：
Bottom-Up Model is mainly used by object oriented programming languages like Java, C++ etc.
Top-Down Model is followed by structural programming languages like C, Fortran etc.

3. Redundancy ：
Bottom-Up model is better suited as it ensures minimum data redundancy and focus is on re-usability.
Top-down model has high ratio of redundancy as the size of project increases.

4. Interaction ：
Bottom-Up model have high interactivity between various modules.
Top-down model has tight coupling issues and low interactivity between various modules.

5. Approach :
Bottom-up model is based on composition approach.
Top-down model is based on decomposition approach.

6. Issues :
In Bottom-Up, some time it is difficult to identify overall functionality of system in initial stages.
In Top-Down, it may not be possible to break the problem into set of smaller problems.

Joanne

2022-07-06 08:18:26 UTC

1. Bottom down goes step by step while top down goes by background knowledge.
2. Bottom up goes from basic and the top down goes from the general to the specific.

Bottom-Up vs Top-Down (Ryna)

2022-07-06 08:19:18 UTC

1.
- Top-down approach focuses on providing the students a large view of a subject, immersing them in the big picture without explaining the components that defines the subject.
- Bottom-up approach focuses which takes a macro view of a subject first, a bottom-up teaching approach begins with the component parts of a subject, and gradually builds up to the whole.

2.
- Top-down approach is concerned with motivating the students to learn through direct interaction and immersion, and allowing them to find meaning in a subject by applying their own experiences.
- Bottom-up approach focused more on the instructor-driven and focuses of a subject as a way of decoding and simplifying each component through repetition and memorization.

Bottom-up Vs Top Down. WEI

2022-07-06 08:21:43 UTC

BP: Readers process information as they read.
TP: Readers process information in his brain using conceptual theory.
BP: Start with small pieces of information and combine them in various ways.
TP: The learned experience guides the information selection in the process.

Susan

zhangjiaqi0715 — 2022-07-06 08:21:48 UTC

Bottom up:teaching is more instructor-driven and focuses on the minutia of a subject.
Top down: teaching is concerned with motivating students to learn through direct interaction and immersion.

Bottom-up Vs Top Down(kejia)

kejia1125 — 2022-07-06 08:22:34 UTC

1.Top-down usually encompasses a vast universe of macro variables while bottom-up is more narrowly focused.
2. top-down processing happens when the reader activates his/her world knowledge to facilitate comprehending the text. On the other hand, in bottom-up reading model, the written or printed text is the centre of attention and reading proceeds from part to the whole.

Advantages and Disadvantages of phonic based system

2022-07-20 06:45:21 UTC

(JOANNE)
Advantages
- Phonics allows readers to decode new words as they read.
- Phonics improves readers spelling ability.

Disadvantages
- Readers might end up in wrong pronunciations.

Advantages of & Disadvantages of Phonic-based system (Ryna)

2022-07-20 06:47:02 UTC

ADVANTAGES :
1. Build's a student's patience concentration.
2. Improves the vocabulary and language.
3. Learn syllable structure

DISADVANTAGES :
1. Some words can be challenging.
2. Fails to promote comprehension.
3. Struggle when it comes to spelling words

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the phonic-based system? （Xu ailing）

xuailing0 — 2022-07-20 06:47:27 UTC

Advantages：
Letter familiarity:
Using phonetic methods in language teaching can help students remember the alphabet quickly. Teach alphabet pronunciation to introduce students to the sounds related to each letter. For example, the letter "a" speaks. Then the teacher will mention words like "act", "apple" and "also" to help students connect letters with words that sound "a".
Basic word recognition:
Many words can be spelled and recognized by pronunciation. Introducing phonetic symbols to children and adults who have just learned English can help them read words and quickly understand simpler words in the language.

Disadvantages：
Pronunciation errors:
not all words are written in pinyin, which may lead to pronunciation errors by students who do not know how to deal with these words.
Chaos:
When taking time to read a word phonetically, readers sometimes forget the overall information of the text. Interrupting your thoughts to stumble on a word will make reading repetitive and unattractive.

3. Read this word quickly and efficiently

disvantages:

2. Not all words can be broken down

Advantages of & Disadvantages of Phonic-based system (Susan)

zhangjiaqi0715 — 2022-07-20 06:48:29 UTC

Advantages:
1.Helps With Spelling

Phonics instruction can help children spell new words when writing.
2.Provides Confidence

In phonics instruction, children study the shapes and sounds of alphabet letters so they can identify them on the page when reading.

Disadvantages:
1.Fails With Nonphonetic Words

Not all words are spelled phonetically. Many English words are not spelled the way they sound, which can be frustrating for new readers who depend on the phonetic approach while reading.
2.Fails to Promote Comprehension

The phonetic approach may help children read words on a page, but the method does not focus on comprehension of those words.

Advantages and disadvantages of whole language based system

2022-07-20 07:23:42 UTC

(JOANNE)
Advantages
- Readers will be recognizing words as whole pieces of language.
- Readers might consume less time in reading since they don't take more time in decoding the words
Disadvantages
- Readers might misinterpret the words
- Readers might find it challenging to learn or expose to new words

Advantages & Disadvantages of Whole Language-based system? (Ryna)

2022-07-20 07:23:51 UTC

ADVANTAGES :
1. Children are free to observe how to read and then imitate the reading behavior without any feeling of discouragement.
2. Providing learning experiences that are rich in language, and where children will be taught how to read by being asked to read and to write by being asked to write.
3. Understanding the text than recognizing individual words, and students will be encouraged to use pictures or clues to guess a word they are not familiar with.

DISADVANTAGES :
1. Due to the lack of phonetic knowledge, children will be unable to recognize or read unfamiliar words.

2. Accuracy is often overlooked.
3. Some children may not be able to spell properly if they do not get proper phonetics instructions.

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the whole language-based system?（Xu ailing）

xuailing0 — 2022-07-20 07:24:40 UTC

Advantage：It exposes children to literature and gives them confidence as readers and writers.

Disadvantage： It does not teach the rules of English.

zhangjiaqi0715 — 2022-07-20 07:25:03 UTC

Advantages
1. It makes learning more interesting for learners.
2. It encourages creativity and allows learners to understand the reading material properly.
3. Learners can also be more observant and free in this approach.
4. They learn to imitate proper reading behavior without losing confidence.
Disadvantages

The lack of phonetics instruction may lead learners to spell words incorrectly.
Learners may not be able to recognize unfamiliar words successfully.
The approach also tends to overlook accuracy most of the time.
Teachers may find difficulty using this approach as they have to frame their curriculum.
Some learners may prefer more organized learning methods and this approach may not be compatible with them.

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the whole language-based system?(kejia)

kejia1125 — 2022-07-20 07:25:15 UTC

advantages:
The advantages of whole language are it exposes children to literature and gives them confidence as a reader and writer.
disadvantage:
1.The disadvantages of whole language are it does not teach the rules of the English language. The components of phonics are phonemic awareness and sound-symbol relationships.
2.Students taught reading using a whole-language approach may have difficulty learning spelling if they are not taught phonics.

The students is 7-8 years old and they from China(susan)

zhangjiaqi0715 — 2022-07-20 07:39:42 UTC

I will use Phonic-based system to teach them, because they are poor in English. Because this way can correct their pronunciation, and make them spelling better. Also this way will let them easy to remember.

The texts that the students have to handle must be of reasonable length. The rationale behind this is to secure variations in reading speed rate and to process texts for different purposes.

What do you think are the challenges in teaching reading?- Cindy

2022-08-17 06:28:59 UTC

1. Teaching reading is a subject that requires enough specialized knowledge. Therefore, for me, it is a complex learning outcome that requires a long process and multiple strategies to achieve.
2. The classroom has high requirements for teachers, summarization and reflection. I believe that thorough training is necessary to provide qualified reading instruction.
3. The biggest challenge in teaching reading is the students' lack of vocabulary. For example, I have no way to teach reading comprehension when students can't understand a text because of too many unfamiliar words.

1. To ensure the teacher can plan out and distribute all the content that has to be taught throughout the course/semester/year and not miss out anything.
2. To ensure there isn't any awkwardness or waste of time throughout the lesson.
3. Allows teachers to create a back up plan if any unavoidable circumstances occur such as internet issues. Backup plans and tasks can be given.
4. Students will have an idea of what they can look forward to in the upcoming class.
