2. What is the purpose and the function of CLT?
Is given utmost importance to the interaction as a means and an end goal in learning a language.
3. How does the ALM work?
It is closely tied to behaviorism, and thus made drilling, repetition, and habit-formation central elements of instruction.
4. What is the Notional Functional Syllabus?
Is a way to organize a curriculum language learning that a method or a way of teaching. The teaching is organized in terms of notions and functions.
5. Would you like to learn English by using the LdL method? Why/Why not? -3 reasons
If I would like to learn with this kind of method, since I would establish my own exercises to study.
6. What are the 5 features of CLT?
1) The introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation.
2) An enhancement of the learner’s own personal experiences as important contributing elements to classroom learning.
3) An attempt to link classroom language learning with language activities outside the classroom.
4) The provision of opportunities for learners to focus, not only on language but also on the Learning Management process.
5) An emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in the target language.
7. Name 3 differences between CLT and the ALM.
- ALM is for practice language in listening and speaking.
- CLT is helping students for use the target language in a variety contexts.
- ALM is for helping students to develop perfectly grammar.
8. What are some of Noam Chomsky's theories about language learning?
Linguistics, beginning with his Syntactic Structures, a distillation of his Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory (1955, 75), challenges structural linguistics and introduces transformational grammar. This theory takes utterances (sequences of words) to have a syntax which can be characterized by a formal grammar; in particular, a context free grammar extended with transformational rules.
9. What is Dogme 95 movement?
It is for make films and special effects.
10 What are the 10 key principles of Dogme Language Teaching?
Interactivity: the most direct route to learning is to be found in the interactivity between teachers and students and amongst the students themselves.
Engagement: students are most engaged by content they have created themselves
Dialogic processes: learning is social and dialogic, where knowledge is co-constructed
Scaffolded conversations: learning takes place through conversations, where the learner and teacher co-construct the knowledge and skills
Emergence: language and grammar emerge from the learning process. This is seen as distinct from the ‘acquisition’ of language.
Affordances: the teacher’s role is to optimize language learning affordances through directing attention to emergent language.
Voice: the learner’s voice is given recognition along with the learner’s beliefs and knowledge.
Empowerment: students and teachers are empowered by freeing the classroom of published materials and textbooks.
Relevance: materials (eg texts, audios and videos) should have relevance for the learners
Critical use: teachers and students should use published materials and textbooks in a critical way that recognizes their cultural and ideological biases.
11. How is Dogme Language Teaching different from TBL?
Task-based language learning (TBLL), also known as Task-based language teaching (TBLT) or Task-based instruction (TBI) is a method of instruction in the field of language acquisition. It focuses on the use of authentic language, and to students doing meaningful tasks using the target language; for example, visiting the doctor, conducting an interview, or calling customer services for help.
Dogme language teaching is considered to be both a methodology and a movement. Dogme is a communicative approach to language teaching and encourages teaching without published textbooks and instead focusing on conversational communication among the learners and the teacher.
12. Why do you think (3 reasons) we are beginning to use CLT and TBL in Chile?
and TBL in Chile?
Because one of the big reason is that the students has to know very well the language with a good grammar and good phonetics, because without it will be impossible communicate so well in other country.
The other reason is that is more interactive to learn English.
And the last thing is that Chile need so much speak English, because this is the door for many things and opportunities, like to grow up as a person and as a professional.
