ELT Methodologies-South Africa by 20190906SeokRyuLee

NA is basically just kids playing and interacting while the teacher uses simple L2 (at i+1). It's common in preschools, families, and some immersion schools. ^^

You can skip examples of this!

Here's an example of a pedagogical task, to give you some ideas!

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

Here are some examples of drilling to help you!

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

Example:

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

Ss are playing a small-group game. There are picture cards face-down in a big circle. Ss role dice and move their playing piece (말) around the circle. They turn over the card they land on and say the word.
S1: 1, 2, 3... Dog!
S2: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Horse!
Ss play... then T quietly slips in a new card Ss haven't seen before.
S3: Um... 영어로 이게 뭐야???
T: It's a walrus!
S3: Walrus!
[It's child-centered because Ss really want to know what the word is! They're emotionally invested because of the game.]

I think you know GTM very, very well, unfortunately....

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

Here's a good example of TPR!

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

Here's a CLT game to give you some ideas! Can you guess the target language?

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

It's also a great example of drilling!

For EACH methodology, discuss:

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

What are the advantages (+) of the approach?
What are the disadvantages (-) of the approach?
Have you experienced this approach? When/where? What did you think of it?
AND post an example (a video, a worksheet, an activity idea, etc.).

Here's the handout with all the descriptions!

SeokRyu — 2020-09-16 01:34:00 UTC

Experience

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:45:14 UTC

Um... Usually, whether in private institutes, or schools, teachers have repeatedly explained and memorized grammar to students in class.
---------------------------------------------------------
20190915
I think it is a method that I experienced a lot in English class when I was in middle and high school. Memorizing grammar rules and words, I learned how to translate sentences accurately, and evaluated how accurate I could do it.

Advantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:45:40 UTC

First, we are used to this method, so we feel familiarity.

Second, This method is suitable for the current national college entrance exam.
---------------------------------------------------------
20190906
Students can memorize many words in short time

Teachers teach student to only as it is in the textbook. So teachers don't have burden.

Students can increase their grammar ability.
--------------------------------------------------------
20190915
Teachers don't need any special teaching methods.

Learners can improve their translation skills in their native language.

One teacher can teach many students.

Objective and fair evaluation is possible.

Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:46:21 UTC

This is not suitable for actual conversation. And, It's only for testing.
---------------------------------------------------------
20190906
If students are not familiar with L2, they can’t understand grammar.
------------------------------------------------------
20190915
It is difficult to develop the ability to listen and understand.

Students passively follow the teacher's guidance, and student-centered classes are difficult to take place.

It is difficult to learn English as a language of communication.

Experience

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:47:24 UTC

Especially in English, Because I've ever been conscious of this way. so I don’t think. but this experience must have been quite frequent.
---------------------------------------------------------
20190915
At school, when the teacher read the English conversation sentence one by one, I listened and repeated over and over.

Advantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:47:39 UTC

The stimulus and reward system is an effective way of learning.
It is also useful in real life. - actual language
---------------------------------------------------------
20190906
Students can close to L2.
-------------------------------------------------------
20190915
The use of visual aids is effective in vocabulary teaching.

Correct pronunciation and structure are emphasized and acquired.

Listening and speaking skills are acquired.

Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:48:24 UTC

There can be problems in determining the appropriateness of stimulus and compensation.
--------------------------------------------------------
20190906
Later, students look forward to rewarding.
--------------------------------------------------------
20190915
Only language form is considered while meaning is neglected.

It is a teacher-dominated method.

Repetitive pattern exercises can give boredom.

The learner is in a passive role. The learner has little control over their learning.

Experience

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:48:53 UTC

We are always using this. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------------------
20190915
When the teacher asked me about the contents of the conversation in class, I talked about my experience.

Advantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:49:09 UTC

Even if you don't learn it directly, you learn it naturally throughout your life

It is the most useful and efficient way to communicate.
---------------------------------------------------------
20190906
Students can understand meaning of the word naturally.

Students learn words and cultural information simultaneously.
---------------------------------------------------------
20190915
Textbooks are based on real-life paintings, making them easy to attract learners.

Proper expressions and actions that match the context and scene can be learned.

It's a learner-centered method.

Advantage, at the same time, Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:49:28 UTC

It could be their own conversation that no one else understands

Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:50:08 UTC

For this way, you should have basic language skills in advance.

You may learn the wrong language and use it.

---------------------------------------------------------
20190906
students have to know some words of L2
---------------------------------------------------------
20190915
Grammar accuracy is apt to be slighted.

Experience

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:50:51 UTC

Do I remember what happened when I was a baby? You're kidding, right?
---------------------------------------------------------
20190915
When I was in elementary school, I played toilet flush game in English with native English teacher.

Advantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:51:09 UTC

For a baby who knows nothing, this would be the only way.

---------------------------------------------------------
20190906
Anyone can communicate and even people who don't fammiliar with L2
--------------------------------------------------------
20190915
Because they use real objects and listen to them with actions, early-stage children who first learn a foreign language can easily grasp its meaning.

Learners feel a sense of accomplishment that they have done something.

Advantage, at the same time, Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:51:24 UTC

Since communication is a prerequisite, it will have a lot of influence on the child according to the specific method

Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-16 15:51:53 UTC

If you are a baby. other ways will be more efficient
---------------------------------------------------------
20190915
There is a limit to teaching abstract and high-level languages.

It doesn't help much for passive learners.

Explain Grammar-Translation Method

Video for teacher

SubinCho — 2020-09-19 08:56:15 UTC

The Implementation of The Grammar Translation Method

(The native language is Malay and the target language would be the English language.)

CLT Activity

SubinCho — 2020-09-19 09:02:07 UTC

CLT Activity
(Young learners practicing "what do you want/ what do you have" )

TPR Activity(Toilet Flush game)

SubinCho — 2020-09-19 09:08:16 UTC

game rules
1. we decide tagger by gawibawibo.
2. A non-tagger runs away from the tagger.
3. If you are caught by a tagger, you should sit still on the spot.
4. Then your mate will pull your hand down and you are free.

Advantages

SeokRyu — 2020-09-25 10:17:06 UTC

There are four advantages I think.
1.Students can learn naturally and non-stressful
2.Students’ listening skill will improve
3.The teacher will be easily known if students are learning
4.Students can use L1.

Disadvantages

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 03:32:25 UTC

There are some disadvantages.
1. It takes a long time that students learn the target language.
2. The teacher should understand each student’s level and teach them.
3. This approach has no textbook, so a teacher has to form a whole class.

Experience

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 03:36:55 UTC

Maybe when I learned English for the first time, I experienced this approach.

Experience

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 03:44:36 UTC

When I was an elementary school student I went to go English center for learning English. There were many concept booths like airports, hospitals, and so on. So I experienced real-world tasks.

Advantages

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 03:44:59 UTC

1. Tasks relate to the student’s life so it’s very useful.
2-3.Students can learn appropriate words in each situation. Also, they enjoy the tasks because there are games, simple conversations.
4. Students will have good pronunciation.

Disadvantages

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 03:48:45 UTC

1. Students will feel that the tasks are difficult if they are allowed to use only English.
2. The teacher makes the tasks for every day. (so busy and hard)
3. The teacher has to consider that the tasks are fun and the tasks get students to the point. (get two points fun and academic)

Experience

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 03:59:32 UTC

I think when I was a child, I experienced it but I can't remember it.

Advantages

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 04:02:29 UTC

1.Students actively participate in the class because the class focuses on the students’ interests.
2. Students have to think of different vocabulary then they will want to learn the words.
3. Students can learn stage by stage (e.g I am- You are- We are)

Disadvantages

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 04:06:08 UTC

1.The teacher has to guide students to follow the class without chatting with a friend.
2.The teacher has to prepare the class more (different words or sentences)
3. If students have no idea about different words, this approach can't work and will be stressful for students.

Example

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 04:11:12 UTC

T: 오늘 weather (날씨)는 어떤가요?
S: 더워요! (흐려요!)
T: Aha! It's hot!(or cloudy)

The teacher says L1 with L2

Experience

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:29:16 UTC

This is both obvious and incomprehensible. It seems to be a kind of cramming education but also a different feeling, but it seems to be pursuing gradual development. It’s so fresh

Advantage

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:29:35 UTC

Fun and stress-free classes are in itself an advantage

It is new not to use textbooks

Experience

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:29:49 UTC

This is also a new teaching method. So the experience doesn't come to mind, but it looks and seems to be very efficient and can be used.

Advantage

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:29:57 UTC

Taking the subject as interesting as anything else, Task is also about real life experience, which will keep the class from getting boring

Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:30:05 UTC

The focus is not on the structure of the language, so It can be neglected

Experience

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:30:16 UTC

When I was an elementary school student, it was cramming Nowadays, it is changing to a future-oriented education of student-centeredness. After all, it was hard to experience in my student days.

Advantage

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:30:24 UTC

A student-centered education will be essential for future education. Future-oriented.

Disadvantage

20190924 — 2020-09-26 04:30:32 UTC

A student's will is a very important teaching method.

Worksheet

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 04:35:52 UTC

Example

SeokRyu — 2020-09-26 05:02:23 UTC

This video shows some examples. We can see a few worksheets.

Advantage

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:17:35 UTC

1. Providing the correct kind of understandable input and emphasizing meaningful communication, provide sufficient conditions for successful acquisition of foreign languages in the classroom.

2. It reduces the tension of learners by giving classes that students can understand.

Disadvantage

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:19:05 UTC

1. When a student is not speaking, it's hard to figure out if he really doesn't know, if he's not ready, or if he's just not interested in class.

2. Teachers' foreign language skills should be high.

3. Not all learners acquire language through uniform input alone.

Experience

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:20:03 UTC

When I first went to an English academy, my teacher taught me a lot of vocabulary, and listened and read a lot. Come to think of it now, the teacher seems to have used The Natural Approach

Advantage

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:20:55 UTC

1. Learner participation is high and active.

2. Having learners ask and answer questions in groups increases each learner's chances of language practice.

3. It is a good way to encourage individual learners to learn by themselves by giving them tasks.

Disadvantage

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:21:23 UTC

1. Since the role of a teacher who selects and proceeds with a task is very important, the effect of the class may vary depending on the teacher's ability.

2. Special attention should be paid to ensure that there are no conflicts of opinion with group members or hurt each other.

Experience

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:21:49 UTC

When I was in elementary school, I listened to pop songs and filled in blank spaces.

Advantage

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:22:12 UTC

1. The autonomy and independence of learners can be developed.

2. Put students' interests first, and recognize their voices as the center of learning experience.

Disadvantage

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:22:32 UTC

1. It is difficult to apply unless students have an active and responsible attitude toward their own learning.

2. Since students are central, sharing them by studying incorrect content can lead to big errors.

Experience

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 05:22:49 UTC

I think I have done it when I was in high school. At the beginning of the class, we first select a topic by group. Discuss each topic with the team members and make fun games. Finally, I gave a presentation to my friends in front of the classroom and the class was over.
Students led the class throughout the hour. The teacher just gave a little help.

The Natural Approach

Worksheet

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 12:59:35 UTC

This worksheet will help kids to practice words about schoolthings. This worksheet is practice words of classroom. You can use in pre-k or first grade. Kids read and choose the correct answer.

Student-Centered Learning-A Guide(The video is a little long, but I think there are essential tips for Student-Centered classes.)

Example

SubinCho — 2020-09-26 14:33:07 UTC

It is a video clip of a class using a Total Physical Response.

Example

20190924 — 2020-09-27 05:24:58 UTC

To check whether teachers wrote correctly by taking a vocabulary and idiom test. be similar to dictation in Korea

Example

20190924 — 2020-09-27 05:32:25 UTC

You can learn daily conversation and apply it through a situational play.

Example

20190924 — 2020-09-27 05:37:00 UTC

This method is unfamiliar to us in writing, but it is an example of TPR that we understand and adapt to their language and emotions when we watch American dramas and movies.

Example

20190924 — 2020-09-27 05:43:30 UTC

Example

20190924 — 2020-09-27 05:48:58 UTC

This method is mainly used in classes such as science or math rather than language, so I can't think of a suitable example

Example

20190924 — 2020-09-27 05:52:24 UTC

When a topic is given, students can be encouraged to think creatively by refining their thoughts through various perspectives and discussions, not the teacher's explanation
