Identifying Trends in the field of ESL By: Lina Engelhart,Sebastiaan Van den Bergh, Isabelle Roulet and Jeremiah Scalia

❖ Common professional background (ESL) Introduction: ❖ 4 Trends: - Use of L1 in L2 (target language) instruction - An increase in non-native ESL teachers - Vocabulary sets: shift in instruction - Technology in the ESL classroom

Goede Morgen!

Onze eerste les: Goede morgen Goede middag Goeden avond Mij naam is:

❖ Previous: Structure-based environment - focus on language, not message - focus on vocabulary and grammar rules - frequent error correction Trend 1: Increase in L1 usage ❖ Trend: Content-based environment - emphasis on interaction, conversation - grammar used for clarifying meaning

Krashen’s theory on Low Affective Filter: High = students experience stress, anxiety, lack of self-confidence inhibiting success in L2 acquisition Low = facilitates risk-taking behavior, enables learning of L2

Trend 2: An increase in non-native ESL Teachers Use of English Experience Communication Concerns Benefits Teaching Culture

“Language consists of grammaticalized lexis, not lexicalized grammar.” -Michael Lewis Tr ending, Then and Now ●General trend toward teaching vocabulary ●Recent shift in methods of teaching vocabulary Trend 3: Trends in ESL Vocabulary Teaching SEMANTIC SETS – grouped according to category (e.g. furniture items, foods). THEMATIC SETS – grouped under thematic concept (e.g. fishing, air travel). UNRELATED SET - no semantic relation, nor are they expressly thematic in association. (frog, car, raining)

❖ 1993 Study (Tinkham) semantic sets had negative effect on vocabulary learning, thematic sets- neutral to positive. ❖ 1997 Study (Waring) learners needed about 50% more time to learn semantically related words than unrelated words. ❖ 2012 Study (Mirjalili, et al.) Subjects recalled more words from unrelated sets than other sets. - unrelated sets (7.30) - thematic sets (7.06) - semantic sets (5.90) Interference Theory - Similarity between vocabulary words learned at the same time hinders retention. What the research says:

Semantic Set: has flattened semantic relation table shelf dresser couch Unrelated Set: has dynamic/contrastive semantic relation frog car raining

Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad from left to right: Exception that proves the rule:

Technology redefines nature of language learning Trend 4: Technology & Language Learning Experience Positive & negative experiences Negative: Direct Translators!

Student-centered Conclusion

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
