Study Notes
Oral Language Overview
- Oral language is the verbal communication through spoken words and sounds, encompassing listening and speaking.
- Listening involves receiving and interpreting meanings from others, while speaking focuses on expressing ideas for others to understand.
Key Competencies in Education
- Royal Decree 157/2022 and Decree 66/2022 outline competencies and knowledge for primary students regarding listening and speaking.
- The first specific competence emphasizes understanding general meaning and specific details in brief texts related to listening skills.
- The second specific competence pertains to producing structured and comprehensible spoken texts, linking to speaking skills.
Child-Centered Approach
- Listening and speaking should align with children's interests to enhance engagement and learning, as highlighted by Sabrina Peck (2001).
- Effective oral activities incorporate key principles: focus on meaning, promote social development, provide rich context, and leverage authenticity.
Practical Teaching Strategies
- Utilizing a virtual reality (VR) app can immerse students in an English-speaking environment, fostering practical language use.
- Role-playing activities in VR settings (e.g., theme parks) allow students to practice language in context, such as acting as tourists or staff.
Language Simplification and Support
- Key phrases and vocabulary should be introduced before activities to ensure comprehension among students.
- Complex sentences should be simplified to enhance clarity, e.g., using "Where is the ticket booth?" instead of longer queries.
Encouragement and Environment
- All attempts at communication, regardless of complexity, should be praised to build student confidence.
- Creating a supportive, mistake-friendly environment encourages participation and acknowledges progress, improving overall communication effectiveness in the classroom.
