Full textThe purpose of this essay is to investigate what different ways there are to teach English grammar at upper secondary level and what guidance experienced teachers have to offer. This is done by studying different theorists’ ideas on language acquisition as well as what researchers’ opinions are on how to teach grammar. I have also interviewed seven experienced teachers who work at upper secondary level.
The results of this investigation show that explicit grammar teaching has decreased over the years and been replaced by implicit grammar teaching and communication exercises. Grammar teaching has become integrated with activities focusing on meaning and is taught more through examples than by using grammatical terminology. Since students frequently come into contact with English they are not thought to need grammar rules as much, since they learn the language in a native-like way almost. However, they repeatedly make some mistakes. Each teacher had different methods for dealing with these mistakes, but they seemed to be keeping in mind the students’ needs and the curriculum.
In this study, I will highlight some methods for teaching grammar, factors that can influence learning and provide information on some existing theories about how students learn their second language.

Full textÈ pratica comune indagare corpora di testi orali utilizzando approcci presi in prestito dallo studio di corpora di testi scritti. Ciò è in parte dovuto alla mancanza di software adeguati per la loro interrogazione. Questa pratica ha alquanto limitato le potenzialità che corpora di tali testi offrono per lo studio della lingua orale. Questa tesi riprende i modelli teorici e gli strumenti informatici sviluppati dalla linguistica dei corpora multimodali (Baldry e Thibault, 2001; 2006a; 2006b; in fase di pubblicazione), e offre un metodo alternativo per lo studio di corpora orali per funzioni linguistiche e nozioni (van Ek e Trim, 1998a; 1998b; 2001). In modo particolare, la tesi applica il modello scalare, sviluppato dalla linguistica dei corpora multimodali, ad un corpus di 52 testi, accuratamente selezionati dal Padova Multimedia English Corpus (Ackerley and Coccetta, 2007a; 2007b), e dimostra come tale approccio faciliti lo studio delle funzioni linguistiche e delle nozioni vis-à-vis ciò che Baldry (2008a) definisce il co-testo multimodale. Per illustrate ciò, è stato usato il software MCA (Multimodal Corpus Authoring System) (Baldry, 2005; Baldry e Beltrami, 2005), grazie al quale si è potuto annotare ed interrogare il corpus dal punto di vista delle funzioni linguistiche e delle nozioni, ed anche dei gesti, dello sguardo e delle azioni, per mettere in evidenza l’interazione tra il linguaggio e gli altri sistemi semiotici. I risultati della ricerca sono stati applicati nell’ambito dell’apprendimento della lingua inglese nel contesto del corso online Le@rning Links (Ackerley, 2004; Ackerley e Cloke, 2005; Ackerley, Cloke e Mazurelle, 2006; Ackerley e Cloke, 2006; Ackerley e Coccetta, in fase di pubblicazione).

Full textEnglish Language Arts has historically been tied to the civic purposes of schools, and this qualitative study of a social design-based project (Gutiérrez & Vossoughi, 2010) examines the intersection of language and literacy learning and youth civic engagement, a problem space I call “Civics English.” In this dissertation, I describe and analyze the experimentation and inquiry process of a Professional Learning Community of English teachers in a diverse middle school as they integrated civic learning and action into their English teaching practices. The dissertation examines this teacher team’s development and shifts through various tensions and challenges that arise, analyzing through the lenses of Cultural Historical Activity Theory the ways their Professional Learning Community operated as an English teaching activity system attempting to integrate the cultural activity of civic engagement, leading to the teachers’ expansive professional learning (Engeström, 2001) about possibilities and challenges of Civics English.
The English teachers implemented various civic action projects, including producing and sharing multimodal civic advocacy essays online, composing and presenting children’s storybooks about civics issues, and organizing and conducting a Town Hall with local leaders about civic dimensions of allyship and youth sports. This study looks at how, contextualized by these civics activities, they adapt and innovate customary English Language Arts practices, such as reading novels, writing in authentic genres with blended text types, and developing literacy and discourse. As the teachers encounter various tensions that arise in their attempts at Civics English, I present evidence of how these tensions emerge from the contradictions of two intersecting cultural activity systems, and what adaptations and innovations the teachers develop to overcome these tensions.
Integrating civics causes shifts in the teachers’ practices of literary study, writing, and classroom discussion, as they orient students’ learning towards public audiences, collective action, and discursive models of political and professional discourse. I identify how reading literature creates an imaginative space for civic deliberation. And I demonstrate how the Town Hall civics project shifts various dimensions of literacy and language activity by recontextualizing them. The potentials and the constraints of these shifts are examined through studying the teachers’ work, students’ language and activity, and the civic event’s efficacy as an English teaching focal point.

Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin kahden englanninopettajan ryhmähaastattelulla, joka äänitettiin, litteroitiin ja analysoitiin. Tutkimus keskittyy yhteen viidestä luokkien 7–9 englannin opetukselle asetetuista tavoitteista nimeltä ”Kasvu kulttuuriseen moninaisuuteen ja kielitietoisuuteen” ja sen kolmeen alatavoitteeseen. Lopputuloksena on, että opettajat tunsivat opetussuunnitelman tavoitteen käsitteet, joskin he ajattelivat kielitietoisuuden liittyvän vain makrotason vertailuun eri kielten välillä, ei mikrotason rakenteisiin kielten sisällä. Heillä oli positiiviset asenteet näitä käsitteitä kohtaan, ja heillä oli luovia ideoita joidenkin alatavoitteiden toteuttamiseen. Opettajat luottivat opetusmateriaalien olevan valtakunnallisen opetussuunnitelman vaatimusten mukaisia

Due to the fact that some English as a foreign language students lack motivation to learn English, this report will discuss how to promote their motivation by structuring appropriate lesson plans; giving students authentic L2 input; designing meaningful and communicative activities; choosing the right type of question to create learning opportunities; and using the guided inductive instructional approach for grammar teaching. Also, it will discuss how to prepare to be a 21st century teacher. The second part of this report contains detailed lesson plans for a unit on pets in which pedagogical theory is put into practice. This unit is mainly designed for low intermediate level English learners. The objectives of this lesson plan not only aim for improving students’ English language skills but also developing their animal and environmental protection awareness.

Full textThe main purpose of the present study is to discover ESL teachers’ beliefs and what they describe as their own teaching practices. Besides, the purpose is to find out if their beliefs when giving a lesson are strong enough to coincide with other teachers’ practices based on different approaches of second language instruction. The analyzed corpus consists of 5 ESL Chilean teachers; 2 females and 3 males, all around the age of thirty years old. They all currently live and work in Chilean cities and have more than 5 years of teaching experience in different educational contexts. The eliciting technique was a structured survey, where the informants were asked to answer open ended questions, to face a lesson taught through three different teaching methods (Grammar translation, Audio-lingual and the Communicative approaches), to finally mark preferences in a Likert scale. The results confirm the importance of having clear and strong beliefs, and how these determine the way we think, act and make decisions when giving an ESL lesson; which is consistent with the reviewed literature about teaching beliefs. Also, even though not all the participants were consistent in their responses, most of them showed coincidences between what they declare as their own teaching practices and what they believe about other teachers’ instruction. The study will benefit different actors belonging to the teaching context. First, ESL teachers will be able to understand which their ESL beliefs are, second, English institutions will have the opportunity to use this to know in advance what type of teacher they are hiring, and third, students learning English as a second language will be able to choose who the most suitable teacher is according to their needs. In general terms, this study will contribute to the field of teaching English as a second language.

Full textEste estudo explora a influência da ansiedade linguística em futuros professores de Inglês em situação de prática pedagógica. Setting the Scene descreve o aumento de interesse pela ansiedade linguística por parte dos investigadores no contexto da aprendizagem e do ensino, e a relevância desta questão para professores estagiários fazendo a transição de aluno para professor. O autor também considera a sua própria experiência de ansiedade – enquanto estudante e investigador – de modo a gerar um maior entendimento desta emoção complexa. O Capítulo 1 da Parte 1 descreve como o afecto na aprendizagem e na investigação da língua tem vindo a ser um factor preponderante no interesse mais alargado sobre as emoções em contextos educacionais. A recente influência da teoria social na aquisição de uma segunda língua e como esta pode ajudar a repensar a investigação das emoções é discutida antes do final do capítulo, onde se examina ainda como as emoções são expressas na comunicação e interacção. O Capítulo 2 concentra-se na ansiedade na aprendizagem da língua e em como o peso da noção em contexto social alargado tem provavelmente influenciado uma abordagem dominantemente de cariz positivista na investigação sobre a ansiedade linguística. Controvérsias e variáveis da personalidade relacionadas com a ansiedade linguística são discutidas, considerando-se a possibilidade de novas direcções para a investigação. A prática pedagógica é vista como um campo fértil de investigação sobre a ansiedade linguística em estagiários, com estilos de supervisão e discursos – nomeadamente estratégias de delicadeza e de mitigação – sendo considerados influências importantes na experiência desta emoção. O Capítulo 3 da Parte 2 detalha a abordagem etnográfica e etnometodológica do estudo e o procedimento de investigação em si. Os dados foram recolhidos em três momentos distintos. Primeiro, através de inquéritos aplicados aos estagiários antes do começo do estágio. Numa segunda fase, durante o estágio, os dados principais foram recolhidos através das aulas e duma entrevista semi-estruturada com os estagiários, ambas vídeo gravadas, e dos encontros de pós-observação áudio-gravados. Os dados subsidiários recolhidos nesta mesma fase incluem reflexões escritas e dossiers dos estagiários, observações escritas das aulas do investigador e o relatório intercalar dos professores supervisor e cooperante. Na última fase, posterior às aulas, a recolha dos dados principais foi realizada através de uma vídeo gravação da reunião de avaliação final com todos os participantes e de stimulated recall protocols com cada professor estagiário. O Capítulo 4 é predominantemente uma análise qualitativa de discurso, utilizando categorias de análise para identificar sinais de ansiedade emergentes dos dados. Os resultados mostram que um dos estagiários pode ser caracterizado como tendo uma experiência de ansiedade mais debilitadora, outro uma ansiedade mais facilitadora, enquanto a experiência do terceiro é menos pronunciada e mais difícil de caracterizar. Sinais e fontes múltiplos e complexos de ansiedade foram identificados mas as próprias autoimagens dos sujeitos como professores de Inglês, construídas em interacção ao longo do estágio, estão no centro desta experiência emocional. O Capítulo 5 considera as implicações e as conclusões deste estudo. São dadas indicações para a relação estagiário-supervisor e quanto aos estilos do supervisor no quadro da prática pedagógica assim como sugestões para que a ansiedade linguística seja explicitamente abordada na formação em supervisão. Finalmente, é ponderada se a experiência da ansiedade linguística destas estagiárias e as suas fontes têm ou não implicações na formação dos alunos de línguas.
This study explores the influence of language anxiety on three pre-service teachers of English during their teaching practice. Setting the Scene describes the rise of interest in language anxiety for researchers working in language learning and teaching contexts, and its relevance to trainees making the transition from student to qualified teacher. The author reflects on his own experience of anxiety – both as a language learner and researcher – in order to shed greater light on this complex emotion and the motivation for researching it. Chapter 1 of Part 1 relates how affect in language learning and research has become an established consideration within a broader interest in emotions in educational contexts. The recent influence of social theory on second language acquisition and how it can help to rethink the research of emotions is discussed before the final part of the chapter looks at how emotions are expressed in communication and interaction. Chapter 2 focuses on anxiety in language learning, and how the powerful notion of anxiety in our society has likely influenced a dominant, positivist approach to researching language anxiety. Controversies and personality variables related to language anxiety are considered, and possible new directions for research considered. The language teaching practicum is seen as fertile ground for researching language anxiety in the trainees, with supervisor styles and discourse - namely politeness and mitigation strategies - being considered important influences on the trainees’ experience of this emotion. Chapter 3 of Part 2 details the ethnographic and ethnomethodological approach of data collection and the research procedure itself. Data was collected in three distinct phases: first, through questionnaires applied to the trainees before the teaching practice; next, during the teaching practice itself, the main data were collected through video recorded lessons, a video recorded semi-structured interview with the trainees, and audio recorded post-observation conferences whilst secondary data consisted of the researcher‘s written observations on the lessons, trainees’ written reflections and teaching files, and the supervising and cooperating teacher’s mid-term report. The last research phase saw the main data collected through a video recorded final assessment meeting with all the participants and, finally, stimulated recall protocols with each trainee. Chapter 4 is largely a qualitative analysis of discourse, using categories of analysis to identify signs and sources of anxiety emerging from the data. One trainee can be characterised as experiencing a debilitating anxiety, another facilitating anxiety, whilst the third trainee’s experience is much less pronounced and difficult to characterise. Multiple and complex signs and sources of anxiety were identified but the images of themselves as English teachers, jointly constructed in interaction, were at the core of the trainees’ emotional experience. Chapter 5 discusses the implications and the conclusions of the study. Indications for supervisor-trainee relationships and supervisor styles within the context of the practicum are put forward as are suggestions to make language anxiety an explicit consideration on supervisory courses. Finally, the experience and the sources of the trainees’ language anxiety and the possible implications these may have for pupils/students in their language classes are briefly considered.

Full textO desenvolvimento educacional moderno trouxe novas portagens para a avaliação das capacidades que os alunos irão utilizar em tarefas da vida real. Esta necessidade tem criado uma mudança radical nos métodos tradicionais de ensino e avaliação. Assim, são necessárias abordagens alternativas de avaliação, quer do processo, quer do produto de aprendizagem. O presente estudo leva em consideração o uso de estratégias de utilização do portfólio no ensino de Inglês, com particular destaque para o sistema de ensino da Líbia. Além disso, apresentam-se definições, algumas vantagens e desvantagens do uso de portfólio, bem como possibilidades de sua utilização para a avaliação e melhoria do desempenho dos alunos. Além disso, será dada atenção à importância de desenvolver a consciência dos professores para o portfólio. A investigação indicou que os portefólios podem ser vistos como conjunto selecionado de trabalhos importantes, o que se relaciona com a medição do desempenho do que foi conseguido. O seu uso pode fornecer aos professores maior feedback sobre o seu ensino e obter mais informações sobre o processo de aprendizagem dos alunos. Como conclusão, podemos afirmar que os portfólios podem servir como uma boa alternativa de ensino- aprendizagem e avaliação no ensino de Inglês, devido às vantagens que oferece.
Modern educational development has brought up new tolls for the evaluation of the skills students will need in real-life tasks. This need has created a radical change in traditional methods of instruction and assessment. Therefore, alternative evaluation approaches are needed in assessing both learning process and product such as achievement portfolio. The present study takes into consideration the use of portfolio assessment strategies in English language teaching with particular emphasis on the Libyan education system as a case study. In addition, definitions, advantages and disadvantages of the use of portfolio are presented using the achievement portfolio as a tool of teaching and evaluation pointing out its importance in improving students‟ performance. Moreover, attention will be paid to the importance of developing teachers‟ awareness as far as the importance of portfolios is concerned. Research has indicated that achievement portfolio is a collection of the important works, which is related to the measurement of the performance of what was achieved. Its use can provide teachers more feedback about their teaching and more information about students‟ learning process. As a conclusion, we may state that portfolios can serve as a good alternative teaching and assessment tool in English language teaching due to the advantages that it offers.
