Revision of ELE3102 – Principle of English Language Teaching Theories of second language acquisition
Structuralise / Analyzed / Explicit Non- structuralise / Unanalysed / Implicit The fact that a learner knows about
language and the ability to articulate those facts in some way.
Learner aware about the structure of knowledge
Controlled
Information that is automatically and spontaneously used in the language task.
Learner not aware about the structure of knowledge
Automatics Example: Children implicitly learn phonology, syntactic & semantic rules for language. But do not have accessed to an explanation explicitly of those rules. Developing classroom skills The roles of teachers in class:
Build the good relationship with the pupils. This will encourage the social skills among pupils too.
Make the remedial activity during lesson if needed. Not all the pupils can achieve the learning outcomes faster.
Attract the pupils’ interest to learn the language. The teacher must creative in planning the lesson.
Encourage the usage of the language in the class by the group activity, roles play and others communicative activities.
Manage the discipline rules among pupils in the class. So that the pupils will more discipline and cultured with good manner.
The roles of pupils as the learners are: Give full attention and participation to the lesson prepared by the teacher. So, they
can understand and enjoy the lesson. Try to follow the rules that fixed by the teacher. This will help to build the good
attitude pupils. Try to do the activities ask by the teacher. If have the problem to finish it up, ask the
help from the teacher.

Managing group work
To ensure heterogeneity, form teacher formed teams. Keep groups together long enough to establish positive working relationships. Allow time for team building. Encourage students to monitor, as you will, group processing. Use Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) to determine student progress. Encourage students to practice and reinforce positive social skills. Structure activities to promote positive interdependence Promote individual accountability. Set up a clear, non-competitive, criterion-referenced grading scheme. Anticipate problems and don’t be afraid to seek constructive help.
Be certain that group activities further the course objectives.
Explain to students the nature and
value of the proposed activities.
Be certain to give clear instructions.
Provide students with a sense of
closure.
Keep the group size small.
Unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise,
aim for heterogeneous
groups.

Managing multiple classroom teaching
A method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a
significant question or create a meaningful project. A group
of students discussing a lecture or students from different schools working
together over the Internet on a shared assignment are both
examples of collaborative learning.

- Encourages students to ask questions and formulate their own
conjectures- To deduce general
principles from practical examples or
experience
An inquiry –based learning
approach
DISCOVERY LEARNING
Cg Mohd Ridzuan Al-Kindy IPG KDRI
Inquiry Based Learning
Through the process of inquiry, individuals construct much of their understanding
of the natural and human-designed worlds. Inquiry
implies a "need or want to know" premise. Inquiry is not
so much seeking the right answer -- because often there is none -- but rather seeking appropriate resolutions to
questions and issues
“Inquiry" is defined as "a seeking for
truth, information, or knowledge --
seeking information by questioning.
Identify the concept to be learned and skills that lead to understanding of that concept
Carefully plan and develop a sequence of questions that should be asked to help your
students ‘discover’ concept concerned.
Prepare a set of specific examples and arrange them in a progression leading to
concept discovery.
Make readily available relevant reference materials and equipment for student use.

Mixed ability class
• Involve the students in drawing up the behavior codes and the penalties for breaking the rules.
• Draw up a class charter and display it on a poster on the wall.
start discipline strategies
• Use mixed ability groups sometimes and appoint a group leader with strengths to help the weaker ones.
• Use same-ability groups to allow people to work at their own pace
small-group

Multiple class (different age)
Understanding that we need to address
all the students in the class.
Understanding that students are at
different levels of English.
Techniques for dealing with mixed
ability students: graded dictation.
Understanding that students work at
different speeds and energy levels
Understanding that students have
different learning styles.
Understanding that students come to class with a lot of
knowledge of things other than English.
Understanding that students need to work at their own
level.

Questioning technique
Open questions are good for:
Developing an open conversation: "What did you get up to on vacation?" Finding our more detail: "What else do we need to do to make this a success?" Finding out the other person's opinion or issues: "What do you think about those
changes?" Closed questions are good for:
Testing your understanding, or the other person's: "So, if I get this qualification, I will get a raise?"
Concluding a discussion or making a decision: "Now we know the facts, are we all agreed this is the right course of action?"
Frame setting: "Are you happy with the service from your bank?" Funnel questions are good for:
Finding out more detail about a specific point: "Tell me more about Option 2." Gaining the interest or increasing the confidence of the person you're speaking with:
"Have you used the IT Helpdesk?", "Did they solve your problem?", "What was the attitude of the person who took your call?"
Asking probing questions is another strategy for finding out more detail. Probing questions are good for:
Gaining clarification to ensure you have the whole story and that you understand it thoroughly; and
Drawing information out of people who are trying to avoid telling you something. Tip:
Chunking questions: Chunk up and down for more or less detail.
Clear questions: That are simple and unambiguous.
Columbo technique: Asking stupid questions that get the answers you want.
Double bind questions: Whichever way you answer, the result is the same.
Tag questions: Some questions encourage agreement, don't they?
Cg Mohd Ridzuan Al-Kindy IPG KDRI
Use questions that include the word "exactly" to probe further: "What exactly do you mean by fast-track?", "Who, exactly, wanted this report?"
Leading questions try to lead the respondent to your way of thinking. Leading questions are good for:
Getting the answer you want but leaving the other person feeling that they have had a choice.
Closing a sale: "If that answers all of your questions, shall we agree a price?" Rhetorical questions aren't really questions at all, in that they don't expect an answer. Questions are a powerful way of: Learning: Ask open and closed questions, and use probing questioning. Relationship building: People generally respond positively if you ask about what they
do or enquire about their opinions. If you do this in an affirmative way "Tell me what you like best about working here", you will help to build and maintain an open dialogue.
Managing and coaching: Here, rhetorical and leading questions are useful too. They can help get people to reflect and to commit to courses of action that you've suggested: "Wouldn't it be great to gain some further qualifications?"
Avoiding misunderstandings: Use probing questions to seek clarification, particularly when the consequences are significant.
And to make sure you avoid jumping to conclusions, the Ladder of Inference tool can help too.
Diffusing a heated situation: You can calm an angry customer or colleague by using funnel questions to get them to go into more detail
The Focal Question - Focuses on a well articulated issue

Purpose of teaching language skills 1. Increase Comprehensibility
Krashen’s theory of comprehensible input involves the ways in which teachers can make content more understandable
to their students providing many nonverbal clues such as pictures, objects, demonstrations,
gestures, and intonation cues building from language that is already understood, using graphic organizers,
hands-on learning opportunities, and cooperative or peer tutoring techniques Native Language the advantage of incorporating a student’s native language into their
instruction using a student’s native language as a support can be seen as both a general
method or as any of a number of specific strategies. Many of the strategies including implicitly or explicitly, the use of a student’s
native language to increase his or her understanding.
2. Increase Interaction Drawing from Swain’s emphasis on comprehensible output a number of strategies have been developed that increase students’
opportunities to use their language skills in direct communication and for the purpose of "negotiating meaning" in real-life situations.
cooperative learning, study buddies, project-based learning, and one-to-one teacher/student interactions.
3. Increase Thinking Skills Drawing from Cummins’s theories of academic language and cognitively demanding communication ways to develop more advanced, higher order thinking skills as a student’s
competency increases. These include asking students higher order thinking questions (e.g., what would happen if…?), modeling "thinking language" by thinking aloud, explicitly teaching and reinforcing study skills and test-taking skills, and
holding high expectations for all students.
Strategy of teaching language
1. General principles and motivation Intrinsic motivation as the learners' willingness "to engage in the activities for
their own sake". This kind of motivation will bring about "internally rewarding consequences,
namely feelings or competence and self determination".
Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, refers to behaviors encouraged by external factors.
Typical extrinsic rewards such as moneys, prizes, praises and encouragement.
Cg Mohd Ridzuan Al-Kindy IPG KDRI
Integrative motivation is associated with the learners' intention of blending
with the cultures of the native-speakers. Motivation has been identified as the learner's orientation with regard to the
goal of learning a second language
Instrumental motivation is related to the view that to be competence in a language provides economical and practical advantages.
This is generally characterized by the desire to obtain something practical or concrete from the study of a second language

Remedial and enrichment activity
Enrichment Activity Remedial Activity
Have specific function that to be used
Prepared for pupils to ensure they master the skills
To be used after the lesson delivering finish
Prepared are suitable with pupils’ level
Can encourage the interest of pupils and motivate them to learn the language
To empowering the understanding on what have been teach to the pupils
Specifically prepared only for the pupils which have problem in understand and
master certain skill
Can measure the understanding of pupil on certain skill
The weak pupils will be given remedial activities based on weakness
To empowering the certain skill that teach to the pupils To drills on a skill that pupils weak.
Can be manipulated as remedial for weak pupils
Cannot be used for enrichment activity – the good pupils will be bored
Can combine more than one skills together Only a skill to be drilled
Materials selection, adaptation, and simplification based on ability and interest.
1. Ability Adaption of material (by modify / simplify) to meet the learners’ ability needs Eg: Article about Aerospace that can be modified by teacher suitable with
language ability of primary school 2. Interest
Adaption of material (by modify / simplify) to attract learners to use the material

How do you prepare scheme of work?
1. Use the syllabus, textbooks and workbooks to break the syllabus into a number of themes or topics.
2. Use the inventory of skills, grammar items and prescribed vocabulary to decide which skills/items should go with each topic/theme.
3. Decide on an appropriate sequence for presenting the themes. 4. Decide the amount of time can be spent for each topic/theme Example Scheme of Work:
