Reflections on material design 1. ples-in-material-adaptation 2. uage-teachingmaterials 3. ng-a-language-textbook

A recent experience… designing a new course Checking the syllabus Considering nature of assignments Researching and gathering material Considering time frame = number of lessons & assignment dates Focussing on sequence of material – grading difficulty – moving towards autonomy Balancing in-class activities / Homework tasks Final ordering and numbering Making Slides & writing lesson plans

One of my core beliefs is that the BIGGEST problem for many students… Spelling v Pronunciation Peer-teaching Lesson 1

The Beauty of the English Language

I believe many teachers… …won’t teach pronunciation because they don’t think it’s important. …don’t teach pronunciation because they can’t teach it. …want to teach pronunciation but are afraid to.

A Bad Day

A Bad Day. I overslept and missed my train, slipped on the pavement, in the pouring rain, sprained my ankle, skinned my knees, broke my glasses, lost my keys, got stuck in the lift, it wouldn't go, kicked it twice and stubbed my toe, bought a pen that didn't write, took it back and had a fight, went home angry, locked the door, crawled into bed… couldn't take it anymore!

HOMEWORK

Spelling v Pronunciation One reason why I cannot spell, Although I learned the rules quite well Is that some words like coup and through Sound just like threw and flue and Who; And then I ponder over though, Is it spelled so, or throw, or beau, And bough is never bow, it's bow, I mean the bow that sounds like plough, And not the bow that sounds like row - The row that is pronounced like roe.

I wonder, too, why rough and tough, That sound the same as gruff and muff, Aren’t spelled like bough and though, for they Are both pronounced a different way. And why can't I spell trough and cough The same as I do scoff and golf? Why isn't drought spelled just like route, or doubt or pout or sauerkraut?

HOMEWORK for Peer Teaching Lesson 1 (14/04/16) You are going to prepare a 10-minute pronunciation slot You will teach 3 other students You should prepare enough material for 3 students (3 +1) Prepare a detailed plan of your activity to hand in & all the material used
