Product-Based CLT Approaches – Text-Based Instruction and Competency-Based Instruction Focus more on the outcomes or products of learning as the starting point in course design than on classroom processes. They start by identifying the kinds of uses of language the learner is expected to be able to master at the end of a given period of instruction. Teaching strategies are then selected to help achieve these goals.

Text-Based Instruction Text-based instruction, also known as a genre- based approach, sees communicative competence as involving the mastery of different types of texts. Text here is used in a special sense to refer to structured sequences of language that are used in specific contexts in specific ways.

For example, in the course of a day, a speaker of English may use spoken English in many different ways, including the following: Casual conversational exchange with a friend Conversational exchange with a stranger in an elevator Telephone call to arrange an appointment at a hair salon An account to friends of an unusual experience Discussion of a personal problem with a friend to seek advice

Each of these uses of language can be regarded as a text in that it exists as a unified whole with a beginning, middle, and end, it confirms to norms of organization and content, and it draws on appropriate grammar and vocabulary.

TBI is thus based on an approach to teaching language which involves: Teaching explicitly about the structures and grammatical features of spoken and written texts Linking spoken and written texts to the cultural context of their use Designing units of work which focus on developing skills in relation to whole texts Providing students with guided practice as they develop language skills for meaningful communication through whole texts

According to this view, learners in different contexts have to master the use of the text types occurring most frequently in specific contexts. These contexts might include: studying in an English-medium university studying in an English-medium primary or secondary school, working in a restaurant, office, or store, socializing with neighbors in a housing complex.

Two Good Questions… What kinds of texts do your students encounter? What kind of texts do they need to learn to use?

Contents of a Text-Based Syllabus The core units of planning in TBI are text types. These are identified through needs analysis and through the analysis of language as it is used in different settings (text-based teaching thus has much in common with an ESP approach to language teaching)

However the syllabus also usually specifies other components of texts, such as Grammar Vocabulary topics Functions It is a mixed syllabus which integrates reading, writing, and oral communication, and teaches grammar through the mastery of texts rather than in isolation.

The following text types are included in the Certificates in Spoken and Written English widely taught in Australia. Exchanges Simple exchanges relating to information and goods and services Complex or problematic exchanges Casual conversation Forms Simple formatted texts Complex formatted texts Procedures Instructions Procedures Protocols Information texts Descriptions Explanations Reports Directives Texts which combine one or more of these text types Story texts Recounts Narratives Persuasive texts Opinion texts Expositions Discussions

Syllabus used in Singapur The text types in the syllabus are: Procedures e.g., procedures used in carrying out a task Explanations e.g., explaining how and why things happen Expositions e.g., reviews, arguments, debates Factual recounts e.g., magazine articles Personal recounts e.g., anecdotes, diary/journal entries, biographies, autobiographies Information reports e.g., fact sheets Narratives e.g., stories, fables Conversations and short functional texts e.g., dialogs, formal/informal letters, postcards, , notices

Implementing a Text-Based Approach Phase 1: Building the Context In this stage, students: Are introduced to the social context of an authentic model of the text type being studied Explore features of the general cultural context in which the text type is used and the social purposes the text type achieves

Explore the immediate context of situation by investigating the register of a model text which has been selected on the basis of the course objectives and learner need.

An exploration of register involves: Building knowledge of the topic of the model text and knowledge of the social activity in which the text is used, e.g., job seeking Understanding the roles and relationships of the people using the text and how these are established and maintained, e.g., the relationship between a job seeker and a prospective employer Understanding the channel of communication being used, e.g., using the telephone, speaking face-to-face with members of an interview panel

Context-building activities include: Presenting the context through pictures, audiovisual materials, realia, excursions, field-trips, guest speakers, etc. Establishing the social purpose through discussions or surveys, etc. Cross-cultural activities, such as comparing differences in the use of the text in two cultures Comparing the model text with other texts of the same or a contrasting type, e.g., comparing a job interview with a complex spoken exchange involving close friends, a work colleague or a stranger in a service encounter

Phase 2: Modeling and Deconstructing the Text In this stage, students: Investigate the structural pattern and language features of the model Compare the model with other examples of the same text type

“Modeling and deconstruction are undertaken at both the whole text, clause, and expression levels. It is at this stage that many traditional ESL language teaching activities come into their own.” Feez and Joyce (1998)

Phase 3: Joint Construction of the Text In this stage: Students begin to contribute to the construction of whole examples of the text type. The teacher gradually reduces the contribution to text construction, as the students move closer to being able to control text type independently.

Joint-construction activities include: Teacher questioning, discussing and editing whole class construction, then scribing onto board or overhead transparency Skeleton texts Jigsaw and information-gap activities Small-group construction of tests Dictogloss Self-assessment and peer-assessment activities

Phase 4: Independent Construction of the Text In this stage: Students work independently with the text. Learner performances are used for achievement assessment.

Independent construction activities include: Listening tasks, e.g., comprehension activities in response to live or recorded material, such as performing a task, sequencing pictures, numbering, ticking or underlining material on a worksheet, answering questions Listening and speaking tasks, e.g., role plays, simulated or authentic dialogs Speaking tasks, e.g., spoken presentation to class, community organization, or workplace

Reading tasks, e.g., comprehension activities in response to written material such as performing a task, sequencing pictures, numbering, ticking or underlining material on a worksheet, answering questions Writing tasks which demand that students draft and present whole texts

Phase 5: Linking to Related Texts In this stage, students investigate how what they have learned in this teaching/learning cycle can be related to: Other texts in the same or similar context Future or past cycles of teaching and learning activities which link the text type to related texts include: Comparing the use of the text type across different fields Researching other text types used in the same field Role-playing what happens if the same text type is used by people with different roles and relationships Comparing spoken and written modes of the same text type Researching how a key language feature used in this text type is used in other text types

Problems with Implementing a Text-Based Approach As can be seen from the above summary, a text-based approach focuses on the products of learning rather than the processes involved. Critics have pointed out that An emphasis on individual creativity and personal expression is missing from the TBI model, which is heavily wedded to a methodology based on the study of model texts and the creation of texts based on models. There is a danger that the approach becomes repetitive and boring over time since the five-phase cycle described above is applied to the teaching of all four skills.
