A) THE ACT OF PLANNING FOR AN ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

CLASS

" unit of work is designed for our everyday teaching practice in order to reach (uality in

education or in the teaching-learning process. The unit of work gives teachers a plan

about what they are going to do, how are going to do that and which aims are going to

be reached. )ome tasks are planned dealing with skills and micro-skills and these

tasks have to be varied and flexible enough in order to adapt our teaching practice to

different students* interests, aptitudes, attitudes and needs.

B) JUSTIFICATION FOR THE UNIT TOPIC NEW WAYS OF

COMMUNICATION

+rom mid-s, some manifestations of the electronic revolution, along with chat

rooms, discussion groups, and game environments, gave definition to a new domain of

study, called variously /electronic discourse0, /computer-mediated communication0,

/textmessaging0 and /netspeak0.

"n immediate conse(uence for 1nglish is the emergence of a new range of language

varieties, as people, particularly teens, learned to adapt their language to cope with the

linguistic constraints and opportunities provided by the new technology.

n the current 2stcentury, our students are living in a technological era that they may

be able to manage even better than teachers. )tudents are able to modify, control and

manage new technologies and we as teachers may take advantage of these abilities in

order to deal teaching of 1nglish as a second language from a 344 approach that is,

involving our students in different skills and micro-skills while ac(uiring a second

language.

"long this unit of work students* motivation and interest may be increased by

demanding their abilities using the new technologies and new ways of communication

such as text messaging.

C) CONTEXTUALIZATION FOR THE UNIT OF WORK

The )tate 5igh )chool where 1nglish as a second language sub!ect is going to be

taught and learned is situated in a middle-class district with a mixture of cultures due to

the increasing immigration movements of population in the 2stcentury.

+amilies living in this district speak )panish as their mother tongue and students

attending lessons in the 5igh )chool are learning 1nglish as a second language.

"lthough 1nglish is not the tool our students use to speak out of the high school, we as

9


6/26

Assignment - M&R

teachers have to arise in our students the use of 1nglish as an open-minded language

used in almost the whole world as the tool for real communication.

This unit of work called &1% %"Y) 6+ 36778&3"T6& is intended to be carried

out with a group of 29 students who are :-9 years old. 6ur students are moving

towards an intermediate level of the use of the 1nglish language as a second

language. They attend ; hours of 1nglish lessons per week, each hour consisting in 9

minutes of teaching and learning practice. Therefore, the unit of work is intended to be

carried out in a period of two weeks that is < sessions. The lessons take place from

=.:9 to .9 p.m. on 7ondays and %ednesdays. The students are generally

enthusiastic and at the end of the academic course they have completed approximately

2 hours of work dealing with 1nglish as a second language.

+rom a cognitive point of view, these students may show a tendency towards

monitoring their own actions but also they may show a tendency towards building up

some pre!udices which have to be unlearnt.

>egarding )1TT&? available to carry out this unit of work, we are teaching in a

classroom with 9 personal computers which can be shared by 2 or three students,

and a digital board for our teaching and learning process.

D) IDENTIFICATION OF OUR STUDENTS NEEDS

The starting point for a learner-centred curriculum development is generally the

collection of data in order to design a programme for a specific group of learners.

>ichards suggests that needs analysis serves some purposes' it provides a means of

obtaining wider and interesting input into the content and design@ it can be used in

developing goals, ob!ectives and content. #A:'9$. deally, in a learner-centred

system, content should be derived through a process of consultation and negotiation

with the learners, the principal consideration being the communicative needs and

interests of the learners.

n our unit of work, teachers are operating with students coming from the educational

system who are used to learning 1nglish as a second language in the same high

school and with the same teachers who know their interests and needs from previous

academic years. Therefore, our students in the class do not vary significantly from one

course to the next. 6ur students have been studying through discovery activities

followed by language practice. 4earners are used to dealing with macro-skills #i.e.

reading, listening, speaking and writing$ and micro-skills #i.e. scanning, skimming,

predicting, etc.$ as the basis for language ac(uisition. 4earners are used to using

F


7/26

Assignment - M&R

nformation and 3ommunication Technologies, computers and the digital board as

sources in their learning process.

"t the intermediate level of 1nglish as a second language, our students can state their

needs reasonably clearly so as learners to have a far more committed and active role

in the teaching and learning process.

"fter a brief consultation and observation process, teachers assume that these

learners are living in a technological era that they like managing and that makes them

feel comfortable, confident and motivated when using new technologies. Besides, we

guess from our consultation and observation that learners prefer to develop language

ac(uisition as a process of ac(uiring macro-skills and micro-skills through different

tasks and pro!ects, rather than ac(uiring a body of language content and forms or body

of analytical knowledge with no reference to the real teens world.

)tudents in our class are a large group of 29 learners who really begin to /take off0 in

terms of their ability to communicate using the target language. 4earners, then, need

fresh challenges to help them to realiCe how much they know and to make their

passive knowledge active, together with a steady and implicit input of new language.

E) UNITS GOALSOBJECTI!ES

n this learner-centred unit of work specifying unit ob!ectives or goals can play an

important part in getting learners involved in achieving those goals and in getting

learners fulfill their roles in the teaching and learning process. Through this tasks-

based unit, the learners are re(uired'

. To act friendly and confident with the material produced dealing with new ways of

communication.

. To revise and extend learners* knowledge of language use.

. To expand new ways of communication-based lexis.

. To practice pronunciation and writing new lexis correctly and appropriately.

. To be aware of new ways of communication and practical use in their lives.

. To be motivated to speak and write about new ways of communication topic.

. To feel clear, intelligible and confident when using language, discourse and

nformation and 3ommunication technologies #i.e. computers$.

. To monitor their tasks individually or collaboratively.

. To deal with authentic texts.

. To get used to reading, listening, writing and speaking dealing with new ways of

communication codes.

. To monitor their learning process.

H


8/26

Assignment - M&R

. To use new ways of communication politely, effectively and safely.

"t the end of this unit of work, learners will have achieved the following standards'

4earners will use wh-(uestions in conversations and dialogues via textmessaging@

4earners will use modal verbs related to suggestions and obligation. #i.e. should,

shouldn*t, must, mustn*t$@ 4earners will express feelings, agreement and disagreement

about using textmessaging among teens@ 4earners will use written texts, managing real

texts, discourse, coherence and cohesion@ 4earners will identify the main point in a

spoken text@ 4earners will extract relevant information form a spoken or written text@

4earners will obtain relevant information about new ways of communication and codes

used@ 4earners will ac(uire lexis related to new ways of communication@ 4earners will

use new ways of communication and nformation and 3ommunication Technologies to

produce a final pro!ect@ 4earners will work collaboratively, showing respect and

tolerance towards other members of the group.

F) LEARNINGTEACHING ACTI!ITIES OR TASKS

n this learner-centred unit of work, activities must be informed by the attitudes, needs

and interests of learners in the class. 3onversation and discussion in class, talking to

friends, interacting via new technologies and elaborating a teens magaCine as final

pro!ect were all learners* attitudes in our class. >eal-life and psycholinguistically-

motivated tasks and activities seem to be both pedagogically and psycholinguistically

sound, and also appear to have the general support of the learners themselves.

The specific learner-centred activities and tasks in our unit of work or DT have the

following characteristics'

- "s a warm-up activity our learners will be introduced into a motivating video

dealing with new ways of communication among teens. 4earners are shown firstly

some logos they are able to recogniCe and to speak about them and expressing their

own opinions. %e as teachers should not abandon /free speaking0. Through some

(uestions learners get support and they are encouraged to ask and answer while the

rest of the class listens. Teacher encourages genuine communication paying attention

and underlying some words and vocabulary related to the unit topic. 7eanwhile,

pronunciation may be taught by /echoing0 learners who mispronounce but without

correcting them too fre(uently since the activity is designed to improve fluency and to

warm-up as an introduction for the unit of work.

- The reading comprehension activity deals with /neti(uette0 or the art of proper

behavior online. t is important to create a desire to read, so learners will be

encouraged to predict the content of the text by writing the key-word /neti(uette0 on the

I


9/26

Assignment - M&R

board. "fter this predicting activity learners will read the text and answer some

(uestions related to the content. 1ventually, learners are taught inductively the 76E"4

F1>B) to express adviceGsuggestions and obligation. 4earners use experimentally the

modal verbs forms in context after being presented with the explanation for appropriate

use in context.

- 3oncerning language focus, learners experiment with the new language forms

#i.e. modal verbs for advice and obligation$ scanning from a given text. 4earners carry

out a top-down processing when ac(uiring the new language forms since clear written

model is given to them in order that they are able to hear, write and read what the new

language sounds and functions like. %hile producing the new language learners feel

confident. Teacher encourages peer correction among all the learners by using the

prompt /3an anyone helpH0 and by writing the new language forms in a poster in order

to exhibit it on the classroom*s walls.

- >eading and writing section deals with /textmessaging0 and its codes and

abbreviations. 4earners are asked some (uestions as a warm-up activity dealing with

their textmessaging routines and feelings about this everyday practice among teens.

Teachers use the text as an excuse to make students feel confident when discussing

about the topic. n doing so, learners practice the art of turn-taking while expressing

advantages and disadvantages of textmessaging. "fter having comprehended the text

and the use of textmessaging, a group game make students manage the content of the

text in a real situation #i.e. roleplaying$. 7essages produced by students can be shown

on the digital board to encourage a group-checking and correction of mistakes and to

create an atmosphere of appreciation and motivation.

- n order to practice the listening macro-skill and its micro-skills, learners are

firstly engaged by asking them to look at the pictures and listen to the pronunciation of

some related words in order to predict content. )ome vocabulary is pre-taught so

learners know in advance how some of the words related to the topic are pronounced.

Before they start listening we make sure that learners read and understand the

(uestions or activity they are going to carry out. "s a follow-up activity learners may

have the tape script written on the digital board so that they can read and listen at the

same time.

- 4earners will elaborate a +&"4 >1F1% I>6J13T as a way of evaluating our

teaching and learning practice along the unit of work, that is, evaluation of both,

teacher*s practice and learners* ac(uisition. 4earners will be asked to create a teens

magaCine to motivate them at the same time to work in groups, to put in practice the


10/26

Assignment - M&R

content of the unit of work and to use nformation and 3ommunication technologies

#i.e. computers in the classroom$. The medium used will be the 1nglish language.

Teacher will offer support and guidance related to neti(uette, use of language and

%ebIages they may use to download images, photos, etc. while learners can ask

further (uestions. This final review (uiC motivates learners to practice writing in what is

perceived as a /cool0 format' a teen magaCine. "t the same time, this final review

I>6J13T will engage our learners in some key competences such as' competence in

linguistic communication, competence in learning to learn, competence in social skills,

competence in processing information and use of nformation and 3ommunication

technology #i.e. computers$, artistic competence, autonomy and personal initiative,

among others. n order to create an atmosphere of appreciation and motivation,

learners will display their final pro!ect on the E?T"4 B6">E as a motivating

presentation in front of the class.

G) MACRO"SKILLS AND MICRO"SKILLS IN THE UNIT OF WORK

This unit of work is assessed through four macro-skills' speaking and writing, that is,

productive skills@ listening and reading, that is, receptive skills.

This unit places e(ual emphasis on the development of all four macro-skills. 1ach skill

has got specific characteristics which affect the tasks-design. n order to develop

>1"E&? )D44, the unit of work contains authentic material with pre, while and post

activities for comprehension and prediction of content. )ome micro-skills are also

developed into the reading comprehension exercises, such as skimming, scanning,

inferring meaning from context and title and recognition of our learners* background

knowledge.

To develop and encourage our learners* 4)T1&&? )D44, the activities are designed

with authentic texts, use of video, 3Es and pre, while and post listening tasks. )ome

micro-skills developed are' recognition of vocabulary, intonation, stress, and

background knowledge about the topic.

%>T&? )D44 is a process in this unit of work, not !ust a product. 4earners develop

writing skill while they are able to identify the style, cohesion and coherence

organiCation into paragraphs and internet and texting conventions as micro-skills.

)I1"D&? )D44 in this unit is put into practice with learners from the very beginning

by means of the warm-up activity to introduce the unit topic. 4earners will use real-time

processing, interactional language use, negotiation of meaning and presentations via

E?T"4 B6">E or I6)T1>). )ome micro-skills which are developed are'

pronunciation, stress, intonation and discourse conventions.


11/26

Assignment - M&R

344 approach is the base for this unit of work since learners develop positive attitudes,

learning skills and learning strategies while working individually or forming groups and

while working via nformation and 3ommunication Technology.

H) TEACHERLEARNERS ROLE

n this learner-centred unit of work the content to be dealt is a collaborative effort

between teacher and learners, since learners* needs and interests are closely involved

in the pre-planning process of the unit, regarding the content of the unit and how it is

taught.

6n the one hand, T1"351> is re(uired to have a range of skills in order to carry out

this learner-centred unit. Teacher analyses initial needs, sets goals and ob!ectives,

selects content, devises learning activities or tasks, instructs learners, monitors and

assesses progress, evaluates materials and manages classroom during the teaching

and learning process. n a learner-centred system the teacher has a crucial role to play

in both student assessment and unit of work evaluation through observation and self-

analysis. Teacher is also the curriculum developer in this leaner-centred unit.

6n the other hand, 41">&1> is the protagonist of hisGher own learning by being

involved in tasks and activities, by group-working in those tasks and activities and by

being the source of input for the content and methodology. 4earners will have self-

access study by means of unit tasks and activities developed by the other learners and

by teacher monitoring those tasks.

I) MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

"t the classroom level, materials often seem more prominent than any other element in

the curriculum. 7aterials are the tangible manifestation of the curriculum in action.

They are omnipresent in the language classroom and it is difficult to imagine a class

without books, pictures, filmstrips, games and so on. "t their best, they provide

concrete models of desirable classroom practice@ they fulfill a teacher development

role. 7aterials come in many shapes and formats. The most obvious distinction is

between local materials produced by a teacher for hisGher class, and those which are

commercially produced. n this unit we are dealing with 463"4 7"T1>"4) developed

by the teacher on the base of learners* interests and needs. "s our focus as teachers

will be on assisting learners to do in class what they en!oy doing outside, that is the

case of /textmessaging0 and using /new ways of communication among teens0, our

local materials will reflect the outside world. n other words, our local materials have a

degree of authenticity. This authenticity will relate to the texts sources, video source

and listening source as well as the use of computers in the classroom, the net to


12/26

Assignment - M&R

search for information when elaborating a final pro!ect and the use of the E?T"4

B6">E, in a nutshell, the use of nformation and 3ommunication technology.

7aterials and resources will also foster independent learning by raising the

consciousness of the learners and making them more aware of their learning process.

This will be done by means of carrying out some tasks, activities and by elaborating a

final collaborative pro!ect. >ecognising the inevitability of a mixed group of learners in

terms of abilities, materials have been designed so that they are used in a variety of

ways and in a variety of learner-grouping. Eifferent sections in the unit of work start

with a warm-up activity such as group discussions and into each section different group

or peer work activities are developed in order to overlap some proficiency deficiencies

in some of our students. The materials are suggestive rather than definite@ they are

attractive by means of real texts, images, photos, a video, extracts from ads, signs,

logos, charts, etc.

Besides, our learners authenticate materials when their background knowledge about

the topic is stimulated as soon as the teacher asks (uestions to promote learners

interactions about the unit topic.

)ince this unit of work is developed with students who are studying 1nglish as a

second language, being )panish language their mother tongue, materials generate

classrooms discussions and a final pro!ect using the nformation and 3ommunication

technology #i.e. computers$, the net and the E?T"4 B6">E which stimulate genuine

communication in the classroom setting in the hope that this will facilitate transfer of

learning. %e will encourage learners to make links between classroom learning and

outside language use by means of the final pro!ect consisting on elaborating a teens

magaCine where learners can write and post romantic stories, teens interests, etc. in

order to be displayed on the E?T"4 B6">E for the rest of the group-class.

" presentation supported by the digital board re(uires that learners prepare their

pro!ect with the tools they can use to support it. n an electronic context, this means the

use of links. By creating links to present a paper, learners must organiCe their thoughts

and the content appropriately and the organiCation re(uired by this may encourage our

students to make a learning habit out of this discipline. "nother activity supported by

the digital board is the correction of a paper by the whole class. They may look for

spelling or language mistakes and correct them by overwriting on the board while the

rest of the class participates in the self-correction. 6ur impression as teachers is that

the E?T"4 B6">E is a very innovative and powerful support for language

+


13/26

Assignment - M&R

ac(uisition@ it provides a bridge that allows using the features of computers without

breaking communication, it even supports it.

J) METHODOLOGY

This task-oriented unit of work will develop a methodology which takes learners

towards the classroom rehearsal of tasks and skills needed for communicating outside

the classroom. 3lassroom communication will foster language ac(uisition particularly if

learners are given opportunities for productive language use and the negotiation of

meaning is small group work.

n this unit of work, a methodology which encourages /real0 conversational practice and

discussions with the teacher intervention with suggestions and error correction is the

single most highly-valued learning modality by our students. Therefore, the sort of

approach advocated here in terms of methodology is validated by the data from our

students, that is, their interests, needs and proficiency. The F63"B84">Y set

presented in the unit is connected with the main topic of the unit and items have been

selected for their fre(uency, usefulness and relevance to the age group. The

vocabulary set is presented through pictures or texts #written or spoken$. The target

vocabulary is recycled and reinforced in texts and activities throughout the unit of work.

>egarding 4"&?8"?1 +6>7) in the unit, they are ac(uired inductively and

experimentally by learners when working with texts. "ctivities are topic-based, so

learners are re(uired to understand the usage and meaning in order to ac(uire the

language form using a top-down process. 4earners are given the opportunity to use the

new language form in a productive, personaliCed or creative way while teacher is

presenting inductively the language form. 7ethodologically speaking, 4)T1&&?

activities in this unit follow a vocabulary set related to the unit topic in context. t

provides speakers in real situations and the language used is carefully graded for

intermediate students of 1nglish as a second language. This unit provides a variety of

)I1"D&? opportunities from the very beginning which are well guided and supported

by the teacher. 4earners can simply /perform0 their own dialogues and discussions in

pairs or individually, or they can write them down first before reading them aloud. This

unit of work provides two different sections to guided %>T&?' the one dealing with

/textmessaging0 and the final review /pro!ect0. The support given for the two sections

ensures that even the less able student will be able to produce the tasks. n this unit

the written text produced is not !ust a product, but a process since different skills and

micro-skills are developed while writing, such as' discourse conventions, language use,

vocabulary use, social conventions when group-working, etc.

.

K) E!ALUATION

The principal purpose of evaluating the planned unit of work and the assessed unit,

that is, what the learner actually learns, is to determine the efficacy of the planning

procedures employed and also to assess whether the content and tasks are

appropriate for our learners.

"ssessing 41">&1> "351F171&T is only the first step in the evaluation process. n

our large class of 29 students it is useful to involve learners in assessment by asking

them to produce a final pro!ect dealing with the items ac(uired along the unit of work.

This group-work pro!ect can serve as a common remedy to negotiate and overlap

possible inefficient learning strategies or irregular attendance by some of our learners.

6bservation techni(ue is also useful in assisting teachers to monitor student progress.

n order to get a score or mark for our students when producing the final pro!ect, a

chart dealing with some items will be filled in by the teacher.

>egarding 7"T1>"4 1F"48"T6&, and after arriving at some conclusions related to

our students* needs, proficiency and interests from the very beginning of our planning

process by conversations or intuition or !ust by having known our learners from

previous academic courses, the results regarding the material evaluation can be

summariCed as follows' 4ayout and design of the unit seems attractive to students who

are presented with a unit of work on the E?T"4 B6">E, which means a variety of

ways of moving pictures and working with items into the planned unit. "ctivities are

ranged and balanced reasonably since the amount of language input is developed by

means of real and interesting texts. Eiscussions, dialogues, compositions and the final

pro!ect are motivating and realistic in context. The sub!ect and content developed in the

unit of work match up to our learners* personalities, age, background knowledge,

needs and interests. The topic under study avoids harmful stereotypes and impolite

ways of interaction #i.e. use of neti(uette$ while working with the technological nature of

our current society. 3lear explanations, instructions and stated ob!ectives are used to

their maximum advantage in the teacher*s guide. 3onse(uently, this unit of work is

highly recommended to be used with a group of students aged :-9 years and moving

towards an intermediate level of 1nglish as a second language.

L) CONCLUSIONS

3ertainly the aim of this planned unit of work is to train our learners for communicative

efficiency, but we have already seen macro-skills and micro-skills development then

presentation and practice activities take place. %e have also realiCed that

concentration on fluency only may not be in the best interests of the learners. The


15/26

Assignment - M&R

importance of sections in the unit of work where there is an emphasis on tasks and the

learner*s own responsibility for their own learning has to go together with more formal

language work #i.e. use of modal verbs$. By presenting learners a variety of tasks,

activities, discussions and a final group-pro!ect we can ensure our learners* continuing

interest and involvement in the unit of work.

+inally, it must be said that teachers have to be flexible and sensitive to the changing

needs of the group as the unit of work progresses. n simple terms it means that

decisions taken before the planned unit about what is going to happen are not in some

way sacred. ?ood teachers must be prepared to adapt and alter their plans if this

proves necessary.
