the Contemporary In Second Language

Teaching and Learning

• Pendulum effects – teaching passion have swung.

Issues and Concepts:

Stimuli For Change

ineffectiveness of traditional approaches

Relevance of language learning to general education

Syllabus Design

• Difficulty of separating content and process in a communicative syllabus

• Linguistic specification as second-order activity.

Approach to Teaching

• Transmission versus interpretation models of learning.

• High – structure versus low-structure pedagogical enviroments.

- Has to do with selecting and sequencing-content, methodology and evaluation.

Examples:“We want learners to know how to contrast

the simple past and perfect tenses”

“We’ll get learners to do a set of substitution drills involving present perfect and simple

past”

We want learners to be able to give an informal oral presentation on a subject of

their choice”

Transmission versus

Interpretation Models of Learning

High-Structure versus Low-

Structure Teaching

HIGH-STRUCTURE TEACHING SITUATIONS ARE THOSE IN WHICH THE TEACHER IS VERY MUCH IN CONTROL OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS. IN THESE SITUATIONS, LEARNERS HAVE RELATIVELY HAVE A LITTLE POWER OR CONTROL OVER EITHER THE CONTENT OR PROCESS OF LEARNING. LOW STRUCTURE TEACHING SITUATIONS, ON THE OTHER HAND, PROVIDE LEARNERS WITH A NUMEROUS OPTIONS AND A GREAT DEAL OF AUTONOMY.
