Communication:
Immediate
Mediate
Time available
Formal/informal
Listen to the teacher & say that you’re agree or disagree with it.
Listen & reproduce expressing the attitude.(memory & grammar exercise)

Lecture 2.
8. 09. 2010.
Props can be both in English & in Russian.
Scaffolding can show the logic of developing the utterance, can suggest what else can be discussed within the given issue, can give a sumple of performing the task.
A set of tasks based on asking & answering questions.
When starting a new topic, after a new vocabulary introduced, the teacher asks the class a set of general questions, because the new vocabulary is used receptively. The next set must be alternative. It teaches to memorize answers, to understand idiomatic expressions, help to teach paraphrasing. The most challenges – special question, they involve production of one’s own utterance.
To teach immediate response we can use:
Exchange a few separate remark for your partner
It’s raining cats & dogs. It looks like rain.
It’s very cold. The rain has stopped. The sun is shining.
It’s snowing hard. I am very hot.
Practice some speech pattern: to look forward etc.
I am looking forward to Easter, summer vacation.
Can be prepared or unprepared.
Listen to the teacher & respond with “I also think so” etc. paraphrasing the teacher’s cue.
To give a brief extending utterance we can use variety of exercises: substitution tables.
Stimulating cue, based on opposition.
Shall I make tea or would you rather have some coffee?
Stimulus + response, based on selection.
Shall we have some tea? – I’d rather not. I’d rather have some coffee.
In order to teach on focus intention they given, this task will be good:
Select the right argument, add some of your own.
I don’t recommend you to buy a car | 1. statically, car owners live short lives; 2. you can hardly afford it. | There are so many traffic jams down-town! You’ll forget hoe to walk. |
Fill in the blanks in an extended utterance expressing you opinion.
We have very few … in Ryazan and too many …. But we really need more ….
Extended utterance based on filling in the blanks in answer to questions.
I don’t know if I will…
I hope I’ll be able to…
Read the 2 utterances. Do you side with either speaker? What can you add?
Lecture 3.
Teaching Writing
Item 1.
Writing & speaking are very similar to each other. Both being of a reproductive or productive nature. But the basic difference between them lies in the immediacy of speaking & the time you have for putting down to paper certain facts, ideas or emotions. They share lots basic & functional skills: most lexical & grammar skills, with some exceptions: most written discourse is not characterized by slang, speaking seldom makes use of high-flown vocabulary. Speaking is almost devoid of complex participial, gerundial or absolute constructions.
Speaking & writing help to develop each other. In writing we do not use pronunciation skills, but we use them implicitly in order to pronounce what we are going to right, inner reproduction.
Writing helps speaking, it is unhurried & well thought through. It helps to develop the effectiveness of language use, such as economy of language, expressiveness, precision. Until recently W was regarded as a means rather than a named. It has its own goals. By teaching the technique of writing we mean teaching spelling, penmenship and punctuation. Writing a self-expression presupposes the functional skill presupposes producing written utterances.
The basic level:
- a personal letter;
- filling out a form;
- writing a CV (autobiography within the required format)
- writing out citations.
(mostly, STANDARDIZED types of discourse)
The specialized level:
The same requirements plus:
- writing a business letter;
- writing a resume (a letter of application);
- formulate the information received in the form of abstracts, review, summary;
- making notes of the teacher’s speech;
- using written English in project work, writing a detailed plan of a presentation; summing up information received from a number of sources;
- describing events, facts, phenomena;
- formulating one’s judgment concerning different aspects of life.
(mostly, CREATIVE types of discourse)
Teaching penmanship
Teaching Spelling
Teaching punctuation.
English – the same laws as in Russians. There are certain differences. Teach children to capitalize names of months & days, geographical objects, such as “Volga River”; Mrs. Black, Doctor Brown, capitalize the titles etc.
Teach some differences. We use a full stop or a period before the final inverted commas “.”
A full stop before decimal fractions:.71 = naught point seven one.
Use a comma:
- before direct speech: He said, “I know.”
- In an enumeration before the final “and”.
- In numerals: 3, 952, 430.
- To clarify the meaning of the utterance: a, b & c/ a & b, or c.
Do not use a comma:
- before the objective clauses.
- Use a hyphen for numerals, don’t use in telephone numbers.
Ways of correction spelling mistakes:
The main stages of a lesson are practically the same as those of skill formation (presentation, practice & performance).
Introduction
a) greeting the students, ensuring order, checking attendance, etc.
b) presenting the goal of the lesson: as a game to be played (at a pre-school level of first-form level); as skills to be acquired (at the remaining levels); as a warming up activity (=речевая зарядка); as a brainstorming activity; as a solution of an intellectual challenge (labour we delight in physics pain); as a passing remark, a joke, a maxim, a paradox; as allusion to a familiar book of film etc. presentational stage may sometimes merge with the introductory stage.
Phonetic drill as a part of practice
a) comes before the presentation, if the latter is brief & mostly conducted in English;
b) comes after presentation if the latter involves a lot of Russian for comparative analysis;
c) It may come in the middle of the lesson, before introducing special questions we may review the usage of general questions.
Explanation should:
Practice:
Finish a class with mechanical pseudo-communication. Simulation is OK if it is intellectually or emotionally satisfying.
Performance
Remember to assess not only the language accuracy but first appropriacy & logic.
React to what you hear not only as a teacher, but also as a sympathetic listener.
Concluding stage
Sums up the results of a lesson. The teacher tries to elicit the information from the learners about what they have learned & sometimes comment.
Gives them the home task. It should be written on the blackboard for them to take down. At least one difficulty must be analyzed.
Gives marks.
