Park Lesson & Processing

Warm-up & Opportunity for outcome feedback:

Think about the following Qs:• What happens in the Pre Stage of a listening or

reading lesson?• Why is the Pre-Stage so important for having a

successful listening or reading lesson?• What is the purpose of the during stage?• How are activities sequenced in the during

stage?• Where is the SLO achieved in a PDP lesson?• Even though the POST stage is not necessary,

why is it important? How does it help Ss learning?

Listening Lesson – “THE PARK”

• Beginner Level Ss Elementary to Middle School

• What do Ss already know?

• Ss already know some park-related vocabulary, basic sentence formation and present continuous tense.

A park

Processing

• How does the Park Lesson illustrate the PDP framework? For example: – What happened in the Pre stage of the Park

lesson?– What happened in the During stage of the

Park Lesson?– What happened in the Post stage of the Park

Lesson?

In the Pre-Stage

1. activate schema

2. assess prior knowledge

3. generate interest in the topic

4. build rapport with our Ss

5. elicit and/or pre-teach the key vocabulary words.

In the During Stage• Ss are given tasks to give them a reason

to read or listen

• Tasks are given before Ss read or listen

• Task allow Ss to demonstrate understanding

• Tasks are sequenced– General to Specific– Easy to Difficult– Concrete to Abstract

Memory ≠ Comprehension

Because we only remember:• 10% of what we read• 20% of what we hear• 30% of what we see• 50% of what we see and hear• 70% of what we discuss with others• 80% of what we personally experience• 95% or what we teach others

In the Post Stage

• Ss have a chance to move beyond the text

• Ss are allowed to personalize the topic or theme

• Ss integrate other skills

• Ss make “text to self” and “text to world” connections by doing tasks that allow them to see how the topic is relevant to them and their world

Processing Continued

• Look at the lesson plan and fill in the missing stages.– Pre– During– During/Post (one time)– Post

Processing Continued

• How did T assure mastery of the key words in this lesson; i.e., where did the Ss encounter the key words?

• What is the purpose (objective) of a listening lesson?

• Where in the During is the objective achieved? • In the Park Lesson, what activity had the Ss

show the most comprehensive or “in depth” understanding?

Processing Continued

• If the Ss were speaking, what did the T provide on the WB or PPT? Why did the teacher provide it?

• Why did the teacher have the Ss read and fill in the blanks of the cloze before letting the Ss listen?

• Why would the Park Lesson make a bad EIF lesson?

Park Lesson as EIF

• Step 1: introduce the topic = E• Step 2: show pictures and elicit vocabulary = E• Step 3: pre-teaching vocabulary = E• Step 4: listening task #1 = E• Step 5: listening task #2 = E• Step 6: cloze activity = E• Step 7: review of present continuous and then the Ss

talk about the picture. = I• Step 8: Ss begin by listening to the text one more time

while looking at a different park picture. Ss then talk about the differences. = I

• Step 9: Describe your own park = F

What framework do we use for the productive skills?

What framework do we use for the receptive skills?

Where is the SLO achieved?

Where is the SLO achieved?

How are the Encounter and the Pre stages similar? How are they different?

What’s the focus of the Internalization stage? How do we facilitate Ss success?

What’s the focus of the During stage? How do we facilitate Ss success?

What’s the focus of the Fluency stage? How do we facilitate Ss success?

What’s the focus of the Post stage? How do we facilitate Ss success?

What do we mean by Keywords?

• Key words are words that are related to the main idea, topic, or theme of the text being studied.

• Key words are also words that are associated with significant details in the text.
