Study Notes
Apply Conditions That Help Learning
- Learning is more likely when something is repeated.
- Spaced repetition is best; rather than all at once, there should be time between repetitions. The spacing should increase as the word/concept is better known, potentially weeks or months apart.
- Retrieval strengthens repetition. Bringing something to mind (knowledge) after a pause will strengthen connections.
- Varied use (speaking, writing, reading) and varied contexts (different forms, contexts, and senses) is an important aspect of effectively learning a concept.
- Deliberate attention is crucial; avoiding distractions is essential during learning.
- Repetition activities should be repeated but with variations.
- Re-reading and listening to previously read material is a method for effective repetition.
- Learning skills activities effectively combine reading, listening, and speaking tasks.
Making the Best Use of a Teacher
- Teachers offer benefits beyond self-learning; this includes support in listening activities and transcription activities.
- Structured lessons and a clear focus guide learning efficiently.
- Teachers model pronunciation and grammatical structures, and offer feedback on errors, thereby improving learning.
- Teachers can provide support in various aspects of learning, including vocabulary practice, pronunciation, and grammatical structures.
Negotiated Learning
- Students and teachers collaborate to plan the syllabus, providing a more personalized learning experience.
- This method involves learners working with teachers to identify and set learning objectives, which will meet the needs of the learner.
