teaching vocabulary

- might be taught on its own

 

- integration of vocabulary in different skills

 

- ensure pupils that understanding every singe word is not necessary to understand text (spoken and written)

some do's

teaching grammar

- cannot be taught on its own

 

- integration of grammar  in different skills

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

         

         

 

 

teaching grammar

- explicit inductive grammar teaching = pupil derives grammar rule out of language material

- explicit deductive grammar teaching = teacher teaches pupil the grammar rule

- implicit grammar teaching = pupil learns by heart language material with the correct grammatical structures --> no grammatical rules

- incidental grammar teaching/acquisition = learners 'pick up' a grammatical feature while their primary focus is on some other aspect of language (message or other language feature that is taught directly)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         

         

 

 

teaching grammar

- expliciet = met gebruikmaking van metataal (taalkundige begrippen)

- impliciet = zonder gebruikmaking van metataal, leerling verwerft structuur onbewust

inductief = van het voorbeeld (taalmateriaal) naar de regel (abstract)

deductief = van de regel (abstract) naar het voorbeeld (taalmateriaal)

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

         

         

 

 

teaching grammar

- adapt theory so pupils can understand it --> present perfect "The verb action happened in the past, usually the recent past, and the results of the action are relevant now" 

 

- make time to do a lot of exercises - really necessary!

 

 

 

Some do's 

teaching grammar

- pupils 1st/2nd grade vocational studies (BSO) advisable to teach them chunks of words

Chunks? 

  • a group of connected items or words so that they can be stored or processed as single concepts 

 

  • kant en klare, ongeanalyseerde brokken van meer dan 1 woord; deze worden niet geproduceerd door de leerlingen op basis van het toepassen van grammatical regels, maar zitten als grote(re) gehelen in ons geheugen

 

 

 

 

 

 

grammar some do's

formal correctness

Subtitle

  • require formal correctness? e.g. grammatically

      Of course!

 

  • how to instigate pupils to speak/write correctly?

formal correctness

Subtitle

explicit correction =

  • clearly indicating that the student's utterance was incorrect, the teacher provides the correct form.

    • e.g. "and the crane. We say crane."

 

  • expliciete verbetering:

    • bijv. “I maked a huge cake yesterday.” "You mean you made a huge cake yesterday?" 

 

 

 

types of corrective feedback

 

 

 

Some do's 

teaching grammar

- Chunks? Examples: 

  • at the end of the day, in my opinion, and they lived happily ever after, by the way

 

  • Deze komen vaak voor --> voor leerlingen interessanter om ze uit het hoofd te lezen als één woord

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some do's 

group work - teaching grammar

- team up and choose one of the following grammatical topics

  • past simple - 2nd grade TSO
  • some/any - 2nd grade ASO revision 
  • present perfect >< past simple - 2nd grade ASO 
  • 1st and 2nd conditional - 2nd grade TSO

 

  • you get max. 8 minutes to explain the theory
