In Anthony’s framework, roles are distinct: Theorist - Role defined under approach Syllabus/materials designer - Role defined under method/design Teacher - Role defined under technique / procedure Teacher - Role determined by syllabus / materials designer 10 In Anthony’s framework, roles are distinct: Theorist - Role defined under approach Syllabus/materials designer - Role defined under method/design Teacher - Role defined under technique / procedure Teacher - Role determined by syllabus / materials designer

What problems do you see with the 3-part division of labour? First hand experiences? To what extent will you as teachers play multiple roles? ◦ Teacher ◦ Materials producer ◦ Syllabus designer ◦ Classroom researcher ◦ Theorist To what extent will you play them sequentially (in order) or simultaneously (at the same time)? 11

In class, the students' mother tongue is main and only language of instruction Vocabulary is taught in the form of isolated word lists. Grammar is taught through elaborate explanations Students start reading of difficult texts right from the beginning Main exercises are to translate disconnected sentences--little attention is paid to the content or context of texts Pronunciation is given little or no attention In class, the students' mother tongue is main and only language of instruction Vocabulary is taught in the form of isolated word lists.

Production? ◦ Students translate but do not create their own sentences. Meaning and context? ◦ Little focus of the grammar for real communication. Error correction? ◦ Focus on accuracy can be harmful to the students ’ learning processes. Production? ◦ Students translate but do not create their own sentences.

Practicality? ◦ L2 learned the same way L1 was acquired - by total immersion technique. ◦ Taken to extreme, teacher never uses one word of L1 Skills integration? ◦ Rejects reading for input, but students already have reading/writing skills in L2 Syllabus design? ◦ Selection, grading and control of language presentation lacks logical structure, especially with vocabulary and grammar Practicality? ◦ L2 learned the same way L1 was acquired - by total immersion technique. ◦ Taken to extreme, teacher never uses one word of L1 Skills integration? ◦ Rejects reading for input, but students already have reading/writing skills in L2 Syllabus design? ◦ Selection, grading and control of language presentation lacks logical structure, especially with vocabulary and grammar

Input: ◦ Q & A: The teacher asks questions of any nature and the students answer. ◦ Dictation: The teacher chooses a grade appropriate passage and reads the text aloud. Output: ◦ Reading Aloud: Students take turn reading sections of a passage, play or dialog out loud. ◦ Map Drawing, Role Plays Error correction: ◦ Self-Correct: Students self-correct by teacher offering choices between what they said and the proper pronunciation/structure Input: ◦ Q & A: The teacher asks questions of any nature and the students answer. ◦ Dictation: The teacher chooses a grade appropriate passage and reads the text aloud.

Communicative competence? ◦ Language not ‘acquired’ through habit formation and ‘overlearning’ dialogues in a language lab Role of error? ◦ Errors are a natural part of the learning process. ◦ Not to be avoided, but used as learning opportunities Syllabus? ◦ There is more to language than just structure, e.g., collocations, register, inferencing, etc. Communicative competence? ◦ Language not ‘acquired’ through habit formation and ‘overlearning’ dialogues in a language lab Role of error? ◦ Errors are a natural part of the learning process. ◦ Not to be avoided, but used as learning opportunities Syllabus? ◦ There is more to language than just structure, e.g., collocations, register, inferencing, etc.
