Homework - due week 6 (October 6)
The Week 5 reading talked about authentic materials and language input. For homework, find one authentic reading (pdf) and one authentic listening material online.
  • The reading material can be found by searching Google for key words such as “zoo brochure pdf” or “salad recipe pdf” or “exercise routine pdf”.
  • The listening material can be a YouTube video. It should be authentic (not designed for language learning) and less than 4 minutes in length.
For each input material, think about the type of learners, the language content of the material, the vocabulary, what kind of tasks you could do with the material, and how you would plan a lesson. Be ready to share your materials and ideas in next class.
No homework for week 7 (October 13)
Homework for Week 9 (October 27)
1. Prepare a short speaking activity to demonstrate or share in small groups.
**this is not assessed
The speaking activity does not need a lot of scaffolding. It can be for any age group or level. Any materials can be used. Think carefully about your instructions. Be prepared to do your activity in class.
2. Watch TESOL Concepts: EIF (ECRIF) framework for teaching speaking on my Youtube channel. Be ready to summarize the framework in dicussions next week.
