Which methods allow teachers more time to listen and monitor?
Text-based & Language-Based
How can you identify a Text Based lesson in the coursebook?
Reading and listening texts with the language system incorporated.
Which language systems do all four cover?
Grammar, functional language / vocabulary.
Which language teaching methods are deductive?
Only Situational P.P.P out of the four. But T.T.T can become deductive very quickly.
How many of the language teaching methods are inductive?
Three.
Which one requires students to notice/identify/isolate patterns and similarity of the language? How?
Text Based. The tasks given help the students to unpack the text in various ways which helps them to highlight the language.
Which one highlights form / rules immediately after contexualisation?
Situational P.P.P
Share which method is your favourite and why?
Thank you for sharing.
Which one checks students' knowledge before clarification?
Test Teach Test.
Which method do students practice and use language based on presented rules in previous lesson?
Language-Based.
How are the outcomes for "Text-Based" and "Situational P.P.P" different?
Fluency vs accuracy.
Give two advantages of the "Test Teach Test" method.
Identifies gaps in student knowledge, optimizes time, encourage students to activate passive knowledge etc ...
One method offers the least amount of teacher prep BUT requires the most teacher involvement. How?
Situational P.P.P - it is predictable, easy to deliver, follows a kind of lock-step approach so not much prep BUT the teacher must teach and explain because the students are not given anything to do...other than listen.
Which two methods have the same priority for the students by the end?
Text-Based and Test Teach Test. (Fluency)
Which method doesn't really need a lead in?
Language-Based.
Give two advantages for using the Language-Based method?
Student-centred, language has been dealt with, can focus of collaborative tasks/ project work, low teacher airtime...
When might a deductive method be better than an inductive method? Justify your answer.
Lower level classes - IF you clarify and elicit aggressively through concept checking, visual aids, timelines, discrimination checks ....
It is NEVER a good method for high levels - unless you are a grammar guru. Are you ready to explain when ellipis is used in a mixed conditional sentence at moments notice?
Which method appears to be deductive, but is not?
Test Teach Test.
Give two disadvantages of the Text Based method?
Texts too challenging, contexually foreign, lexis is new - becomes an unprepared skills lesson. Ss struggle to isolate T.L
Which method(s) require the most knowledge?
P.P.P and Test Teach Test.
Which is the best teaching method and why?
There is no best method - you need to take into account your students and choose the best fit for your aim for the lesson.
Give two advantages and three disadvantages for Situational P.P.P.
A: Fun, flexible, logical etc..
D: High teacher airtime, low student talk time, risk of not knowing something, increased prep time etc..
Which method would you never use with advanced level students? Why? What would you use instead? Justify.
Situational P.P.P.
Text-Based and Language-Based
Which method gives the student autonomy over their own learning?
Text Based method.
Which method allows for a phonological aspect to be easily prepared for and worked on before practicing?
P.P.P - the others generally require the teachers to incorporate it as it comes up - the JEOPARDY - it gets forgotten.
