APPROACHES AND METHODS…..
In The Teaching of EnglishPamela Allen, ESL
1
2MORE TO THINK ABOUT!
THE DIRECT METHODTPR (Total Physical Response)
THE SILENT WAY CLT (Communicative Language
Teaching)
3
Strategies worth using…..
Can you “Jigsaw”?
You are responsible for imparting the material and information to your peers!
If you leave it out, they have lost something; if you include it, they have it
now and always!
4
In your “learning team”…..
* Read and discuss the information and ideas associated with the method. Relate to your teaching experiences.
*Create/present a skit showing teacher/student involvement and responses to the method. (Multiple Intelligences at work.)
*Chart important details/info about the method to post as your group “teaches” all of us.
5Articulatory Phonetics
* Involves movement of air from lungs through vocal cords.
* Includes oral and nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, lips,
tongue, and teeth
* Look at 6.1 on page 236 in Introduction to To Language. Find the oral and nasal cavity structures.
6
Major Places of Articulation
As we discuss the articulation sounds, practice in your groups by making the
movements yourself. Use the mirror on the table to see what all happens.
*Labiodentals: produced by touching the bottom lip to the
upper teeth (f) (v)
*Interdentals: produced by inserting the tip of the tongue between the teeth; the “th” sound; for some, the tongue merely touches behind the teeth….forming more of a dental sound(think) (these)
7
Alveolars:
All seven of these sounds are pronounced by the tongue being raised in various ways to the alveolar bridge.
* (t) (d) (n) tongue tip raised touching ridge or slightly in front of it.
* (s) (z) sides of front tongue raised, tip lowered so air escapes over it. * (l) tip of tongue is raised, rest of it remains low, *(r) curl the tip of the tongue back behind alveolar
ridge or bunch up the tongue behind the ridge.
WHICH WERE HARD FOR YOU TO DO?

Morphology: The Study of Word Formation - Rule Productivity
*There is internal organization in word formation. Rule example: add “er” to a verb to make “ noun”. teach + er = teacher *”Structure” is important in determining meaning. * Morphological processes (inflection) is used freely to
form new words from free and bound morphemes.
Affix: a morpheme attached to a word Prefix: an affix attached to front of word Suffix: an affix attached to the end of a word *We can generally predict the meaning of of the word by the morphemes…but not always!
9
Morphological complex words whose meanings are not predictable must be…..
..... “listed in our mental lexicons”. Store them in your memory for future use:
Unpredictable “un” forms:
unloosen loosen; let loose undo reverse by doing
10 The Rules Do Not Always Apply…..
Think about the process that forms plurals from singular nouns.
These words are exceptions to the English inflectional rule of plural formation: child, man, foot, mouse
Certain verbs/past tense are also exceptions to the rule: go, sing, bring, run, know
When children are learning English, they first learn the “regular rules”, then discuss the exceptions. As they “get more of an ear for English”,
it will start to make more sense.
11
Compounding: Can You Dig It?
* Some recent compounds: Youtube, Facebook, carjack, powernap
noun + noun = noun (SGC) “girlfriend”adjective + adjective = adjective “icy-cold”
noun + adjective = adjective “headstrong”With two words in different categories,
the second determines the “head” category.
12
The meaning of the compound is not always the sum of its parts……..
Example: “She has a red coat in her closet.”“She has a Redcoat in her closet.”
Some compounds reveal a different meaning/relationship between the parts:
“Cathouse” does not mean a house for cats”.
When the words are together, we usually stress the first word.
13
Syntax Review
Syntax = Greek orgin + “together + sequence/order/arrangement
Normal word order/ English: firmly fixedSubj.+verb+object or subj.verb complement
Poetry: word order can shift to heighten word connection and emotional impact
Rule of Syntax: > phrases > sentences
Lexical Categories
Nouns: person ,place, thingVerbs: action or being
Adjectives: describe nounsDeterminers: the, a, an
Prepositions: express location/function – “to for, in, an, at, of, with
Word Order:
Declarative statements: subj+verb+object “I like cake.”
Interrogative-questions: modal verb+subj+verb+obj. “Does Brian like cake?”
Adjectives before nouns: coconut cake
15
Syntax Challenges: ELLs
Question formation
Modal verbs: do, does, will, could, would, should
Adjective placement
Passive voice: Brian has eaten the cake.
16
Semantic Challenges: ELLs
Multiple meaning words: miss“Miss Jones is my teacher.”
“I will miss her during the summer”
Idioms & American phrases:“It was raining cats and dogs this
morning.”“Time really flies in Praxis review class.”
“ Please turn off the lights”.
17
Sociolinguistics
The way “society” impacts the learning and use of language…..
Be it good or not, it is there!
“It arises out of need, work, joy, affection, tastes, generations…it
goes beyond the dictionary.” Walt Whitman
Culture + language
18
Language & Society
Dialects
Regional Dialects
Phonological differences
Lexical differences
1.
19
Social Influences: English
Literary genre: a category of literary work determined by tone, content, fiction, length….
Groups: Prose, poetry, drama
Subgroups: many!
20
Vocabulary: Three Tiers
Tier 1: Basic vocabulary – rarely require direct instruction; sight words, early reading words; typically no multiple meanings…. book, girl, sad, run, dog, see
Tier 2: High frequency, multiple meanings – reading comprehension, across different domains,
mature language situations (adult talk, literature), strong influence on speaking/reading, direct instruction…..masterpiece, fortunate, mature, concept
Tier 3: Low frequency, content/context specific- occurs in specific domains, subjects in school,
hobbies, occupations, technology, science, medical… economics, chemistry, amino acids, opera,

Homonyms, Homophones, Homographs=
English Language Confusion!
Homonyms:, sound same, spelled differently, different meanings - bear, bare
Homophones: sound same, spelled differently, different meanings – be, bee; son, sun
Homographs: sound differently, spelled same, different meanings –
desert (dry environment)desert (to leave)
