SLA
This theory says that learners construct knowledge rather than passively take in information. What is its name?
Constructivism
Halliday´s seven functions of language - one of them is used to engage in social interactions, or to keep the conversation going. What is the name of this function?
Interactional
What is the name of a form of speech that is modified for a student to understand?
Teacher talk
"I learn so that I get an A mark. If I get an A on this test, my dad will take me to Ještě Jednu. They have the best ice cream in the town!" Would you call this motivation intrinsic or extrinsic?
Extrinsic (there is an external influence)
What do we call the ability to take charge in one´s own learning?
Learner´s autonomy
This teaching method is based on the idea that L2 acquisition should be more like L1 acquisition: no translation, lots of spoken interaction and engagement in conversations, and little grammar instruction (rather acquired naturally over time). What do we call it?
The Direct Method
The type of speech directed to a child from an older person (adult). It is characterised by a "sing song" pattern of intonation. It is usually slower than normal talk and the pitch is higher. What is its name?
Motherese/Parentese (or Baby Talk)
Name at least 5 error-correcting techniques.
Facial expression, gesture (thumbs up/down, waving a finger, shaking the head, frowning...), self-correction, peer-correction, echoing, reformulating...
Student had made this error numerous times in the past and no one corrected them. This error became a habit and the student does not know that they are making this error. What do we call this type of error?
Fossilized error
Define the linguistic term "false friends" and give an example.
Two or more words in different languages, that look/sound similar, but mean something entirely different (e.g. actually X aktuálně, gymnasium X gymnázium)
Sometimes, children learn a second language at the expense of their first language. In this case, the children usually lose the ability to speak their first language over time. What do we call this type of bilingualism?
Subtractive bilingualism
Chomsky is the main person in which approach to FLA?
Innatist approach
What is the name of a methodological approach designed to improve students´ ability to communicate?
Communicative Language Teaching
8 types of intelligence by Howard Gardner - Thanks to this intelligence, a person is able to perform well in sports and/or has good fine motor skills. What did Gardner call it?
Bodily kinesthetic
Find someone (preferably in your group, but you don´t have to) who prefers the auditory learning style. Explain the auditory learning style.
Auditory - Sometimes referred to as “aural” learners, auditory learners prefer listening to information that is presented to them vocally. These learners work well in group settings where vocal collaboration is present and may enjoy reading aloud to themselves, too.
This is the type of language used by foreign-language learners who are in the process of learning a target language. Learners use some features of their first (native) language while communicating in their second language and tend to overgeneralize some L2 writing and speaking rules. What is it called?
Interlanguage
According to this psychological view, when learners imitate and repeat the language they hear in their surrounding environment and are positively reinforced for doing so, habit formation (or learning) occurs. What is its name?
Behaviorism
This time of feedback can be described as reformulating all or part of the incorrect word or phrase, to show the correct form without explicitly identifying the error. What is it called?
Recast
S: I lost my road. T: Oh, I see, you lost your way and then what happened?
In 1987, Neil D. Fleming developed the most widely used learning style model known as VAK, later VARK. What does the acronym VARK stand for?
The acronym VARK stands for Visual (V), Auditory/Aural (A), Read/Write (R) and Kinesthetic (K) learning style.
Teaching practice time! How many English lessons should you teach this semester? How many lesson plans are you going to submit? How many of these can be grammar-orientated?
Teach 10 lessons, submit 2 lesson plans, only 1 LP can be grammar-orientated.
This is a stage of learning L2 where the learner is making no progress and there is no improvement even though a number of practice is done. What is its name?
Language learning plateau
Children´s language is built on their cognitive development. Which approach to FLA is this?
Interactionist/developmental
This approach to teaching provides learners with a learning environment that helps them make connections of their learning's across curricula. It focuses on connections rather than teaching isolated facts. The goal of such pedagogy is to enable the learner to master those situations he/she will have to deal with in his/her professional and/or private life. What is its name?
Integrative
Name all 8 types of intelligences according to Howard Gardner.
Linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist.
Name all 7 functions of a language according to Halliday.
Instrumental – everyday use, make things happen.
Regulatory – to control, set limits through approval, disapproval, and setting rules or laws.
Representational – to make a statement.
Interactional – to engage in social interactions, and keep the conversation going.
Personal – to express feelings or emotions.
Heuristic – to gain knowledge and provide information.
Imaginative – to create nonexistent images and ideas. To create new things.
