The Internet TESL Journal Blurring the Boundary Between Spoken and Written Language in EFL Maria Bortoluzzi m.bortoluzzi [at] libero.it Liceo LeopardiMajorana (Pordenone, Italy) & Udine University (Udine, Italy) Introduction The present lesson plan for a teacher training session will focus on the teacher's awareness about language and its context of production. The approach is theorydriven, but based on activities which can be adapted and successfully used for awarenessraising activities in language classes at different levels. The present lesson plan is based on two main basic assumptions. First of all there is the need for the language teacher to reflect on his/her own practice. The second assumption deriving from the first is that the group of teachers addressed is not an audience, but the fundamental resource to draw upon. The teachers will be asked to think of their classroom experience and reflect critically upon it, analyse whether what is being discussed has relevance for their teaching practice, whether it can be used in class and how or whether what is being said should be simply part of the teacher's awareness of behaviours, tools, language (Hedge, 2000; Harmer, 1998; Nunan & Lamb, 1995; Woodward, 1991; Kramsch, 1993; Bygate et al., 1994; McCarthy and Carter, 1994; Carter, 1990; Cook, 1989). In summary, the present lesson plan is based on the key concepts of reflection on one's professional practice and awareness of the people, the context and the 'tools' contributing to that practice. In a more specific way, the sessions I outline in this plan are based on the need for the language teacher to be aware of the fundamental resources s/he is dealing with: the language and, as a consequence, its context of production, the types of participants in the communicative event and the cultural conventions. General Approach and Procedure Given that the focus of the session is language awareness, the approach used in planning it is theorydriven. The aims for this choice are to show the link between theory and practice in our profession and to discuss the problem of how reflection on some theoretical issues can bring about selfassessment, change and development in the teacher's practice. However theorydriven, the approach will have to take into account the needs of language teachers and the applicability of language reflection browse pulse Ad

    TeacherTrainingContext

    Time:3hoursession.

    TargetPopulation:

    Teachers of English as a foreign language. The levels of teachingexperiencemay be varied since the focus of the session is languageawarenessratherthanteachingtechniques.

    SettingandMaterials:

    Ideally awelllit, large roomwith comfortable tables and chairs whichcanbeeasilymovedaroundandrearrangedaccordingtotheneedsoftheparticipants.

    There should be a large enough board, O.H.P., tape recorder, video,stationerymaterials forwriting posters and transparencies. In the firstsession a computer will be needed in order to show a section of ahypertext.

    Assumptions

    In general LTs have a good knowledge of language phenomena.This isusuallycomplementedby theirownexperienceasLs,LTsandtraineesonpracticalteachertrainingcourses.Thisbackgroundvaries individually for the single teacher, but in general terms, itoffers a very diversified and interesting pool of resources to drawupon.ItwillbeassumedthatthelevelofcomprehensionofEnglishinthegroupisgenerallygoodandthespokencompetencefromthelevelofupperintermediateupward.OneofthemainTT'stargetsforthesessionswillbetomotivatetheparticipants, giving them fairly new or thoughtprovokingperspectives on knowledgeabout languagewithin a selfreflectiveapproach. The problem will, then, be to associate theory andpractice,movingonfromtheresourcesofthegroupandmotivatingthem enough so as to provoke debate, further ideas andconstructivecriticalthinkingabouttheirownlanguageawarenessinrelationtotheirstudentsandthelearningenvironment.

  • Aims

    1. The general aim of the session is to focus the LTs' criticalobservation and reflection on what is both the most importantresourceandthemostimportantgoalofourprofession:languageuseinmeaningfulcommunicationanditscontextsofproduction.

    Language is not simply a set of abstract or practical rules, asystem of sounds, syntactic and semantic structures: it is firstandforemostaseriesofcommunicativeeventsdeeplyrootedinspecificcontextsinformedbyculturalschemata.Theparticipantsintheinteraction(oralorwritten)canenact,reinforce,challengeor subvert conventionalised language use. No linguistic act is'neutral' or unaffected by contextual variables. Language isvalueladen and deeply engrained into the beliefs and culturalbackgroundof theparticipants in thecommunicativeevent.TheforeignLTsconfrontthisissuemorethanotherteachersbecausetheyhavetodealwithtwoormoreculturesandsetsoflinguisticconventions.

    2. Thecritical reflectionof theLTson the languageused inclass,found in textbooks, materials, newspapers and other media isrelated to the issueofhowto fostercritical thinking in theLs. Itseemstomethatthiscanbecomeanactof'appropriation'(orreappropriation)ofthelanguageandcanbetransferred,asasetofcriticalskills,tothefirstlanguageaswell.

    3.(15minutes)Plenarydiscussion:

    Itwill focus on the difficulties ofmatching pedagogical grammars,the language of textbooks and the grammar of authentic spokenlanguage(especiallyinformalfacetofaceinteraction).Some of the most common texttypes used in class are spoken,ratherthanwritten:shouldwebeawarethatthegrammaranduseof vocabulary of prototypically spoken language is different fromwhat can be found in written language and in pedagogicalgrammars?Howcanwemakeactualuseofthisintheclass?

    AnticipatedOutcomestoStage2

    It is hoped that the writeadialogue exercise will help the LTsunderstandtherelative lackofauthenticityofmuchof thematerialused in class, but also the need for language simplification andcontextualisation in classroom language that authentic exchangesdo not always offer. Authentic transcripts would be cumbersomeand confusing for the learner dialogues in textbooks, however,havetomaintainaneffectofauthenticityandreproducetheprocessofcommunicationintheclassroomcontext(Bachman'sinteractionalauthenticity).

  • The second related issue is thegrammarof prototypically spokenEnglish as complementary, but also different from that of writtenEnglish.However,thegrammarandvocabularyofwrittenlanguagehave dominated the writing of pedagogical grammars (andcoursebooks) to this day. It is hoped that the discussion willhighlighthowsomeoftheerrorsthestudentsmakeinspeakingareactually features of facetoface informal interaction (ellipsis ofdifferent kinds, leftdislocation, hesitations, reformulations, falsestarts,etc.).It will be interesting to hear the LTs' opinions about the issue ofbalancing the awareness of different 'grammar rules' or grammarusesforspokenEnglishandtheneedforteaching'accuracy'inthetraditionalsense(Bygateetal.,1994McCarthy,1997).Thediscussionshouldalsobroachtheissueofwhicharethemostcommon texttypesused in classand seewhether theybelong toprototypicallywrittenorspokenlanguageor,asitisoftenthecase,theyencompasscharacteristicsofboth (letters,dialogues,diaries,role playing, short essays, summaries, reports, telephone calls,etc.).This section of the discussion should lead to another focus areawhich will be only touched upon: the disappearing boundariesbetweenSLandWLanditsrelevancefortheclass.

    Objectives

    Once the importance of defining the difference betweenprototypicallySLandWLhasbeenshown, the focus is shifted tothedisappearingboundariesbetweenthetwoandtherelevanceforthe LT to be aware of this phenomenon to be able to use iteffectively in theclass.Authenticwrittenmaterialsoftenmimic theSL especially in ads, everyday language, songs, the Internet, email,MSM, hypertexts.SL can be recorded, thus becomingmorepermanentthantheprototypicalfacetofaceexchange.The LTs should be aware that the authentic language that thestudents are going to be exposed to more and more (especiallythroughmodern technologies) is evolving very fast it oftenmixesgenres, registers, texttypesandmodesand itveryoften reliessocloselyonthevisualmodality toconveythemessagethat thetextcannotbeunderstoodwithouttheimage.
