Study Notes
Language Teaching Principles
- Integration of Language Skills: Listening, reading, speaking, and writing should be taught together, not in isolation.
- Communicative Language Teaching: Learners should have opportunities to use the language in a natural way through real-life scenarios and contexts.
- Scaffolding: Support learners as they develop new skills and monitor their individual progress to provide tailored support.
- Real-Life Situations: Classroom activities should simulate real-life experiences, like shopping, traveling, or using technology.
- Learner-Centered Approach: Focus on individual learning styles and build upon students' existing knowledge and experiences.
- Repetition: Use mindful repetition to reinforce key concepts and address areas where learners are struggling.
- Differentiation: Adapt teaching strategies and tasks to accommodate diverse learning needs and abilities.
- Authentic Resources & Technology: Utilize real-world materials like newspapers, magazines, and technology to engage learners and provide relevant context.
- Progression from Year to Year: Tasks and activities should become more challenging as the year progresses, ensuring continuous learning and development.
- Cooperative Learning: Encourage collaboration and interaction among learners through group activities and projects.
