1. How many language skills are there in English? What skills can we teach using the EIF Framework?

2. Please describe what EIF stands for and summarize your understanding of the framework

E – Encounter

I – Internalize

F – Fluency

Some activities you might not know

Word Splash – put words that relate to the topic on white board in different sizes, shapes, etc. and have students make a sentence for each http://www.everydayell.com/blogs/teaching-tips/6212980-word-splash

Stickies (Post-it Notes) – there are many ways to use these in class http://busyteacher.org/13620-7-simple-learning-centers-post-it-notes.html

Some activities you might not know

Rods -Cuisenaire rods are generally used to teach math but can be used to teach English sentence structure, word stress, etc. http://busyteacher.org/2471-how-to-teach-english-using-cuisenaire-rods-15.html

Jazz chants – clapping and chanting to learn the rhythm of English http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAYwoLZso7s

Student Learning Objectives

Student Learning Objectives

Think about the following questions on your own:

1. What is a student learning objective?

2. What do we mean by “observable behavior?”

3. Which of the two (below) is an aim and which is an objective?

A. By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask and answer Qsusing frequency adverbs (always, often, sometime,seldom, never) in the dialog (A: How often do you_____? B: I _____ ______.) by conducting a classsurvey of Ss daily routines.

B. Students will come to appreciate and understandBritish culture.

Student Learning Objectives

Think about the following questions on your own:

1. Why should we use a student learning objective (SLO)?

2. When should you make a SLO?

3. How do you prepare students to succeed in reaching the SLO?

4. How do you know if the SLO is too easy or too hard?

“SMART” objectives

S - specific

M - measurable

A - achievable

R – relevant

T – time bound

To make sure it’s a fair test, I’m going to give you all the same task. All I want you to do is climb up into that tree…

Realistic Objective?

What is the difference between the verbs in the left and right column according to learning objectives?

Rank Understand Answer AppreciateCreate LearnList Know

AskUse Give Identify Write Tell Categorize Describe Evaluate Paraphrase Retell

Look at the sample objectives on the next slide and answer the following questions:

Which is the clearest?

Which best indicates the student behavior you want to see by the end of the lesson?

1. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to (SWBAT) use Spanish to introduce themselves and their peers to each other.

2. By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate the ability to greet each other by using “Hola Mi Nombre es…..” by doing a mingle activity in which students meet and greet each other in Spanish.

3. By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate the ability to understand how Spanish is used to greet someone and introduce people to each other.

What do you think of this objective?

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate an understanding of the rules for third person singular verb forms of regular and irregular verbs BY completing a fill-in-the blank worksheet.

Please rephrase “completing a fill-in-the-blank worksheet” into something SMARTer.

• Remember the goal of a speaking lesson is to have the Ss using the language productively

• The behavior you need at the end of the lesson involves using the TL.

Some possible changes: By the end of the lesson, SWBAT

demonstrate an understanding of the rules for third person singular verb forms of regular and irregular verbs…

by producing the correct form of the third person singular for regular and irregular verbs in writing - given the infinitive forms.

by identifying incorrect forms of 3rd person singular regular and irregular verbs and providing the correct form.

by telling the correct forms in a when describing someone’s daily activities.

A more appropriate SLO

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate an understanding of the rules for third person singular verb forms of regular and irregular verbs…BY interviewing their partner about their daily routine and then sharing what they have learned with another classmate in a double interview activity

Creating Objectives* Remember the key is to think about the language

needed to complete a communicative task that students will demonstrate by the end of the lesson; this task should be based on what the students have learned from all the activities they participated in during the lesson.

It might be helpful to use the following “formula”:

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate

(TL functons & notions/knowledge, &

skills) by (doing something = the assessment

activity).

SLO Formula

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT ___________________________ by __________________________.

Example

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT make statements about and ask

basic questions using comparatives (i.e.: “X is taller than Y” and “Is X taller than Y?”) by

conducting a class survey about famous Korean people.

PracticeMake detailed objectives for the

following productive skill lessons:

Vocabulary: family members (mother, uncle, etc); asking/answering Qs about family

Function: giving and receiving directions; drawing the route/path on a map

Grammar: simple past tense; asking answering questions about past activities

Vocabulary By the end of the lesson SWBAT describe their

family using the TL (mother, father…) by describing people in a family photo album.

Function By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask for and give

directions using the TL (A: Excuse, me can you tell me where the ____ is? B: Yes, ….. ) by doing “Find the Treasure” information gap activity.

Grammar By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask and answer

Qs using a dialog in the simple past tense e.g. (A: What did you ___? B: ____ I _____.) by doing a “Conversation Grid” interview activity.

Language Analysis: What you do before you write an SLO Select the grammar/vocabulary

topic Fine-tune: What is, isn’t included,

other meanings, negative form, question, typical Student problems

Make sentences and choose one as a representative

Decide on a situational context or text to teach the grammar form

Analyze the form, meaning and use Write your student learning objective

(SLO)

Let’s practice together

The grammar item is: Tag questions. What are some typical sentences?(5-10) What do we need to consider? E.g. Verb

form, pronunciation, negative, answering What are some common student errors? Where might they have difficulty? What situations and places is the grammar

usually used in?

Some sample tag questions: You like tag questions, don’t you?

This isn’t a problem, is it? You didn’t kiss him, did you? You should ask you mother about it, shouldn’t you? You can go to the party, can’t you? You aren’t eating the cookies, are you? She won’t marry him, will she? You haven’t completed your homework, have you? This has helped, hasn’t it? They couldn’t come, could they?

Additional Fine-Tuning

This isn’t a problem, is it? She is pretty, isn’t she? You aren’t eating the cookies, are you? You’re happy, aren’t you? You like tag questions, don’t you? You don’t like him, do you? You know her phone number, don’t you? She doesn’t play tennis, does she?

Make Your Own SLO

It’s time to start thinking about your mid-term project.

You will be writing a lesson plan and selecting, adapting and supplementing materials for each stage of the lesson

The first step is to make your SLO and chose your target language
