Key Points in Chapter Three
•Standards-based Language Learning▫Integration of modes of communication
with meaningful content Integration of
modes, oral & printed cultural texts, and content and language
Terms for Organizing Content and Planning for Instruction
•Goal: ▫Aim or purpose of instruction stated in
broad terms
•Objective: also referred to as “outcome”▫What the learner will be able to do with the
language as a result of instruction
•Framework:▫State document that describes goals and
standards to be met by language programs
Contemporary Paradigm for Instructional Planning
• Objectives designed to show what students know and are able to do with the language
• Interdisciplinary content and culture are at the core
• Three modes of communication integrated into lesson design
• Learner is more responsible• Teacher is facilitator• Textbook is a resource in a wide variety of
materials & tools• Assessment is on-going
Brain-based Principles of Learning (Sousa, 2006)•Engages the entire person (cognitive,
affective, kinesthetic)•The brain seeks patterns•Emotions affect learning, retention, recall•Past experiences affects new learning•Working memory has limited capacity•Lecture=lowest degree of retention•Rehearsal essential for retention•Practice (alone) does not make perfect•Each brain is unique!
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Thinking (1950s, 2001)•Levels are organized according to
complexity of human thought and serves as a model for promoting higher-order thinking.
•It served as an early model for designing instructional objectives and curricula.▫Lower levels Higher levels
Remember Analyze Understand Evaluate Apply Create
Planning a Lesson
•Requirements:
▫Maximum use of TL▫Meaningful teacher feedback▫Integration of oral and printed authentic
texts▫Identification of interesting and pertinent
content
Input and Feedback• Lexical chaining—most prevalent type of input
• Simple syntax and multiple rephrasing; little topic development and no foundation for meaningful discussion
• IRE—most common form of teacher feedback▫Teacher Initiates an assertion or asks a
question▫Student Responds▫Teacher Evaluates with simple phrase or
asks the same question to another student• IRF—preferred type of teacher feedback
▫Teacher initiates, responds, but provides Feedback to encourage thinking and higher levels of performance
Authentic Oral & Printed Texts• Select texts that reflect natural language use and
bring content and interest to learning tasks• Oller’s Episode Hypothesis
• Text should be motivating and structured episodically so that it is easy to reproduce, understand, and recall (1983)
• Carrell (1984)• Readers comprehend text more easily when it is
organized with a problem and solution• Authentic Texts
produced by members of a language and culture group for members of the same language and culture group
Integrating Language & Content• Curtain and Dahlberg (2010)
▫Content-based instruction (CBI)—teacher responsible for teaching a part of the content (such as history) in the TL
▫Content-related instruction— teachers uses concepts or topics from regular curriculum in the language classroom
• CBI used widely in FLES and ESL programs at the early levels of language learning; promotes L2 proficiency
• CoBaLTThttp://www.carla.umn.edu/cobaltt/modules/standards/index.html
Integrating Language & Content•Factors to consider
▫Content area skills & concepts that can interrelate most effectively with the language goals
▫Language competencies need to work with content
▫Cognitive skills necessary to perform the tasks in the lesson
▫Potential for integration with cultural concepts and goals (Curtain & Dahlberg, 2010)
Backward Design Model•Wiggins & McTighe, 2005
▫Top-down approach▫Identify “understandings” that Ss will develop ▫Identify “essential questions” that Ss will answer
at the end of instruction▫Plan around “big ideas”—concepts, themes, issues▫Three stages
Identify desired results (goal) Determine acceptable evidence (assessment) Plan learning experiences and instruction (planning)
Thematic Unit Planning• A series of related lessons around a topic, a
particular context, or a particular subject-content theme▫Identify goal areas (5Cs) and state frameworks▫Determine theme or context of unit▫Describe what Ss will be able to do at the end
of the unit (objectives)▫Design performance assessments for Ss to
demonstrate what they have achieved▫Identify key elements from ACTFL
performance guidelines for learners to demonstrate achievement
▫Select and design appropriate instructional strategies to teach lesson in unit
▫Identify appropriate resources to support unit theme and instruction
Daily Lesson Plan• Keep in mind the principles of brain-based research and
Bloom’s Taxonomy• Objectives are
▫ measurable and describe what Ss will be able to do in TL• Stage One
• Identify desired results by describing “big idea” and what Ss will be able to do by the lesson’s end—who are your learners?
• Stage Two• Identify type of evidence that will confirm Ss have produced
desired results• Stage Three
▫ Outline the sequences of teaching and learning Anticipatory set that may include Advanced Organizers Teacher input Guided practice Individual practice Informal assessments Closure
