PURPOSE/FUNCTION
Enabling learners to become competent and efficient users of a new language by providing a framework which focuses on meaning and real communication and also integrates the recent trend on focus on form within communicative language teaching
![Page 4: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is discourse?
An instance of spoken or written language that has describable relationships of form and meaning that relate coherently to an external communicative function or purpose and a given audience/interlocutor. Furthermore the external function or purpose can only be determined if one takes into account the context and participant (i.e., all the relevant situational, social and cultural factors) in which the piece of discourse occurs.
)Marianne Celce-murcia & Elite Olshtain,2000,p.4(

GOALS OF THE STUDDY
1. Show how discourse–based approaches have developed from to earlier strands of research ; namely work in discourse analysis and in communicative approaches to language teaching and learning.
2. Show how a number of so-called controversies can be usefully re-envisioned and resolved with reference to discourse based approaches .
3.Argue that discourse–based approaches impact all
aspects of language instruction (teaching materials ,course design and content ,teaching procedures ,assessment of learner achievement ,etc.).

HOW DISCURSE-BASED APPROCHES FIT WITHIN CURRENT MEYHODOLOGY
1.Work in discourse analysis
2.Work in communicative approaches to language learning and language teaching

Work in discourse analysis
As a reaction to:
Chomsky’s Sentence-level paradigm)rule-governed creativity (
Innate mechanism of language acquisition
Hymes’s Communicative competence(1967,1972) Halliday&Hasan (1976,1989)Social and functional rules of language

Discourse as a complementary context for comprehension, production & acquisition
) Celce-murcia,1995(
![Page 20: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Implicit and Explicit learning/Teaching
Implicit for younger & low proficiency learners)Cele-murcia,1985(
Explicit for older and more advanced learners)Lightbown&Spada,1999;Larsen-Freeman&Long
Incorporation of both at discourse level according to learners’ preference & need
![Page 21: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Top-down and Bottom-up processing
Top-downContextual factors .e.g.,sociocultural knowledge & task
assessment for producing and interpreting discourse
Bottom-up processingproductive or interpretive choices e.g., word recognition, part of speech recognition, word comprehension for meaning
Discourse processing is simultaneously T-D & B-U Grabe(1991)

Cognitive Approaches to writing
Background readingOutlining
Careful rhetorical organization)Flower,1972;Olson,1977;Ong,1982
![Page 24: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sociocultural Approaches to writing
Oral brainstormingNegotiation of audience
John(1997)Oral and written input prior to writingBoth Top-down & Bottom-up
![Page 25: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Authentic and Adapted Materials
Authentic:Not generated for purposes of language teaching but for other communicative purposes
![Page 26: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Authentic materials
Authentic materials for all age groups & different level of language proficiency Simplified authentic materials for beginners Unsimplified Authentic materials for advanced learners
![Page 27: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Imitation Authentic Materials
Materials too complex for lower proficiency learners
Start with some authentic discourse then make adaptations that not change the overall meaning or the organization of message conveyed but make it more accessible to learners to use & learn it
![Page 28: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Meaningful communication
Focus on meaning and real communication
Providing opportunities for both natural exposure to the language and meaningful use of language for the learners of all range of age & level of knowledge

Discourse-based approaches to curriculum design in accordance with current language pedagogy:
Focus on Form)Doughy&Williams,1998(
Focus on Pragmatics)Kasper&Blum-kulka,1993(
![Page 32: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Support for focus on :
Focus on Form
Long(1991)
Focus on Pragmatics)Kasper&Blum-Kulka,1993(
Integration of Top-down and Bottom up processing
![Page 34: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Support for Focus on Form
Use of Narrative to teach formExposure to authentic language with focus on form and explicit learning & explicit pedagogy in contextualized discourse can facilitate acquisition of elusive forms
Explicit teaching and pedagogyDekeyser(1995)
![Page 35: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Support for Focus on Pragmatics
Acquisitional direction:
Shift from pragmatics to grammar according to the age & level of knowledge of the learners
![Page 36: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Support for Integration of Top-down and Bottom-up processing
e.g., reading an expository textTop-downContext is clearBottom-upNo clue to the context
![Page 37: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
DISCOURSE-BASED APPROAHES TO READINGText-pragmatics:
Interactional relationship between reader and writer
Text-semantics:
Information structure within the text

Discourse-based approach to curriculum designDiscourse-oriented curriculum:
ContextText types
Communicative goals
e.g., Threshold level in multilingual context
![Page 39: Discourse based approaches to langauge learning and teaching](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558ba0f6d8b42a027a8b46c4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
CONCLUSIONS/FURTHER DIRECYIONS
1.Adaptingcurriculum(materials,cortent,procedure,assseement)
to the communicative needs of the learners, which involves making discourse analysis an integral part of needs assessment
2.Designing programs and using discourse-based materials that emphasize skills and the language that the learners truly
need in the target language .
3.Defining realistic and explicit expectations regarding the levels of ability and fluency learners should achieve (as opposed to some abstract level of language proficiency,e.g., a specific score on the TOEFL); this involves making the
discourse analysis an integral part of language testing .

AREA FOR FURTHER RESAERCH1.How best can teachers be trained or retrained implement a
discourse-based approach? How much discourse analysis do they need? What kind ?What happens to them in the process
of change?
2.How can careful analysis of classroom language or pair/group work in progress enhance our understanding of the
teaching/learning process?
3 .Are learners better able to transfer what they learn in the classroom to the real world using discourse-based approaches? Do they take better responsibility for their own
kerning?
4 .Do discourse-based approaches lead to better language ability and / or increased motivation to use the language?
