Well done!We’ve just experienced what it is like to learn a second or foreign language - especially when there are very few opportunities for exposure to it outside the classroom. To learn a language in such a context the learner needs:
•Frequent input
•Opportunities for output
•Different ways of accessing and processing the new language items
•A context for learning the new language items
•Motivation and positive reinforcement

• In this workshop I will:• present principles for developing materials for language
teaching
• In this workshop we will:• Explore Texts• Determine criteria for selecting texts and designing tasks • Develop a lesson plan
© 2005 Marshall Cavendish International
What principles should we adopt?
• Focus is on making meaning and understanding how the English language is designed to make meaning
• Tasks and activities designed around text(s)• Approach looks at ‘language learners as
whole people with behavioural, cognitive, affective, social, experiential, strategic and political dimensions’ – Diane Larsen-Freeman

Materials should be developed based on a systematic framework for:
Development
Monitoring &
Assessment
of language learning outcomes.

Group task

2. Identify potentially engaging core text (s).
3. Make decisions about activities with
specific language learning outcomes.

• Warm up or readiness activities for the core reading or listening text.
• Whilst reading/listening activities
• Response activities that facilitate articulation and development of the learner’s personal responses to the text.
• Response activities that facilitate development of text comprehension and awareness of the intentions and strategies of the writer/speaker.
• Thinking activities related to the topic/theme of the core text
