Task types: what will you do in lessons?
• Vocabulary acquisition
• Grammar explanation and
practice
• Working with written texts
• Working with recorded texts
• Translation
• Pair and group oral work
• Teacher-led oral work
• Games
• ICT-based work
• Compositional writing
• Preparing for assessment
• Extensive reading
• Extensive listening (film)
• Developing learning strategies
Pros of teacher-led oral work (1)
• It allows the teacher to carefully control the input students receive.
• It provides a lot of listening input, released in small manageable chunks. So
question-answer should not just be seen as oral activity, but, more importantly,
a listening activity.
• It is part of a whole pedagogical approach which assumes grammar and
vocabulary can be internalised by controlled practice.
• It can be effective as a class-controlling activity. The teacher controls the pace
and is the only person talking.
• It can be entertaining and motivating for pupils when done well.
• It can be an effective way of differentiating between faster and slower pupils.
With a "hands up" approach, the teacher can direct harder, more open-ended
questions at faster pupils, easier closed questions at slower pupils.
Pros of teacher-led oral work (2)
• Cleverly scaffolded question sequences can encourage pupils to infer language
rules on their own.
• Many pupil enjoy taking part in whole class question-answer, Younger ones
especially often enjoy showing off what they can do.
• A "hands down" approach should encourage all pupils to listen intently and be
ready to answer.
• At higher levels it allows the teacher to adapt instantly to student answers,
challenging them further and taking conversation in interesting directions.
• It is highly adaptable. You can do all kinds of variations on question-answer e.g.
giving false statements, seeking questions to answers, getting a pupil to play
teacher at the front, doing true/false or instant multi-choice and so on.
Pros of teacher-led oral work (3)
• It is a useful starter or what used to be called oral warm-up. It brings
the group together and allows the teacher to review previous work,
giving the class confidence in what they have already learned.
• Although an artificial form of communication, pupils are willing to play
the game, especially if you explain to them why you are doing it.
• It can be part of a multi-skill activity e.g. teacher asks question, pupils
answer orally then write down the answer.
• Skilled question-answer allows you to keep the class running in the
target language.
Cons of teacher-led oral work (1)
• When used to promote oral practice it has limitations. Only one person can
speak at a time so it is highly inefficient. Pair work is far more productive.
• It places high demands on concentration so can be hard to make work with
some classes. It can be boring.
• Although the teacher is in control, it places demands on the teacher's energy
and, at higher levels, oral skill. If the teacher's skills are limited the quality of
input will be low.
• You can never be certain if pupils are actually listening, even with a "hands
down" approach. Students would appear to be very inactive most of the time.
• With both a hands down and hands up approach it puts pressure on pupils to
perform in front of their peers. Many students dislike this and some argue that
it hinders progress. We learn less well when anxious. Many pupils prefer pair or
small group work where there is less pressure to be correct.
Cons of teacher-led oral work (2)
• Some classes may be less well-behaved during question-answer
than is pair or group work situations.
• If the main role of question-answer is to promote listening
comprehension then there may be better ways to do this.
Question-answer exchanges are usually very artificial in a
classroom setting. "Where is the pencil"? "It is on the table." (It's
pretty obvious where the pencil is, so it's a redundant question.)
• Some would argue that the "accoutrements" of question-answer
(powerpoint slides, flashcards etc) are an unnecessary and
inefficient way to improve students' skills. Translation, they might
argue, is more effective.
Translation L1 to L2 - pros
• It probably helps fix grammatical accuracy and revise vocabulary.
• Some pupils enjoy it. It satisfies the puzzle-solver and accuracy fan.
• As a testing tool it can be made to be quite unpredictable and therefore hard to learn up
for.
• As a testing tool it can be marked quite objectively.
• It reflects a reality that language learners often work from L1 to L2. Why not develop
this skill?
• It is challenging for students when set at the right level.
• There may be an element of real life activity involved. Adults do sometimes need to
translate, even if technology makes this less likely nowadays.
Translation from L1 to L2 - cons
• It limits the amount of target language use in the classroom.
• It is an uncommunicative sort of activity - it's talking about the language rather than
using it for communication.
• When used as a testing tool, because of the washback effect, teachers may do too much
of it in the classroom. Teachers love to teach to the test.
• It offers almost no new comprehensible input to further language acquisition.
• It may encourage interference from the first language, based as it is on a cognitive
rather than natural approach to second language acquisition.
• It may suit able learners, who are good at cognitive problem solving and pattern
spotting, more than students of lower aptitude. Some may see this an unfair and argue
that naturalistic methods do not have this bias.
• Many students find it boring and would be more motivated by other tasks.
Translation into English - pros
• Sentences and passages in the TL are a source of comprehensible input.
• Translation requires a fine attention to detail. Everything must be understood
and rendered accurately.
• Some pupils enjoy the challenge of doing it. It can be satisfying to find the
solution.
• There may be some real life use for it, despite changes in technology.
• We often translate in our heads so why not help develop this skill?
Translation into English - cons
• Beyond a certain level it becomes a test of English usage as much as a test of comprehension.
• Students are writing English when they could be writing in the traget language. This limits
acquisition.
• Detailed comprehension can be assessed in other ways which provide more language input
e.g. TL multiple choice.
• Teaching this skill in the classroom involves using English, not communicating in the TL.
• It is a task which involves talking about the language not using it.
Literary text issues
• Matching difficulty level with students’ maturity
• Can be prose, drama, poetry, letters, song
• Text books will have examples
• Best done in moderation?
• Problems with using authentic sources

  • 13. Task types: what will you do in lessons? • Vocabulary acquisition • Grammar explanation and practice • Working with written texts • Working with recorded texts • Translation • Pair and group oral work • Teacher-led oral work • Games • ICT-based work • Compositional writing • Preparing for assessment • Extensive reading • Extensive listening (film) • Developing learning strategies
  • 14. Pros of teacher-led oral work (1) • It allows the teacher to carefully control the input students receive. • It provides a lot of listening input, released in small manageable chunks. So question-answer should not just be seen as oral activity, but, more importantly, a listening activity. • It is part of a whole pedagogical approach which assumes grammar and vocabulary can be internalised by controlled practice. • It can be effective as a class-controlling activity. The teacher controls the pace and is the only person talking. • It can be entertaining and motivating for pupils when done well. • It can be an effective way of differentiating between faster and slower pupils. With a "hands up" approach, the teacher can direct harder, more open-ended questions at faster pupils, easier closed questions at slower pupils.
  • 15. Pros of teacher-led oral work (2) • Cleverly scaffolded question sequences can encourage pupils to infer language rules on their own. • Many pupil enjoy taking part in whole class question-answer, Younger ones especially often enjoy showing off what they can do. • A "hands down" approach should encourage all pupils to listen intently and be ready to answer. • At higher levels it allows the teacher to adapt instantly to student answers, challenging them further and taking conversation in interesting directions. • It is highly adaptable. You can do all kinds of variations on question-answer e.g. giving false statements, seeking questions to answers, getting a pupil to play teacher at the front, doing true/false or instant multi-choice and so on.
  • 16. Pros of teacher-led oral work (3) • It is a useful starter or what used to be called oral warm-up. It brings the group together and allows the teacher to review previous work, giving the class confidence in what they have already learned. • Although an artificial form of communication, pupils are willing to play the game, especially if you explain to them why you are doing it. • It can be part of a multi-skill activity e.g. teacher asks question, pupils answer orally then write down the answer. • Skilled question-answer allows you to keep the class running in the target language.
  • 17. Cons of teacher-led oral work (1) • When used to promote oral practice it has limitations. Only one person can speak at a time so it is highly inefficient. Pair work is far more productive. • It places high demands on concentration so can be hard to make work with some classes. It can be boring. • Although the teacher is in control, it places demands on the teacher's energy and, at higher levels, oral skill. If the teacher's skills are limited the quality of input will be low. • You can never be certain if pupils are actually listening, even with a "hands down" approach. Students would appear to be very inactive most of the time. • With both a hands down and hands up approach it puts pressure on pupils to perform in front of their peers. Many students dislike this and some argue that it hinders progress. We learn less well when anxious. Many pupils prefer pair or small group work where there is less pressure to be correct.
  • 18. Cons of teacher-led oral work (2) • Some classes may be less well-behaved during question-answer than is pair or group work situations. • If the main role of question-answer is to promote listening comprehension then there may be better ways to do this. Question-answer exchanges are usually very artificial in a classroom setting. "Where is the pencil"? "It is on the table." (It's pretty obvious where the pencil is, so it's a redundant question.) • Some would argue that the "accoutrements" of question-answer (powerpoint slides, flashcards etc) are an unnecessary and inefficient way to improve students' skills. Translation, they might argue, is more effective.
  • 19. Translation L1 to L2 - pros • It probably helps fix grammatical accuracy and revise vocabulary. • Some pupils enjoy it. It satisfies the puzzle-solver and accuracy fan. • As a testing tool it can be made to be quite unpredictable and therefore hard to learn up for. • As a testing tool it can be marked quite objectively. • It reflects a reality that language learners often work from L1 to L2. Why not develop this skill? • It is challenging for students when set at the right level. • There may be an element of real life activity involved. Adults do sometimes need to translate, even if technology makes this less likely nowadays.
  • 20. Translation from L1 to L2 - cons • It limits the amount of target language use in the classroom. • It is an uncommunicative sort of activity - it's talking about the language rather than using it for communication. • When used as a testing tool, because of the washback effect, teachers may do too much of it in the classroom. Teachers love to teach to the test. • It offers almost no new comprehensible input to further language acquisition. • It may encourage interference from the first language, based as it is on a cognitive rather than natural approach to second language acquisition. • It may suit able learners, who are good at cognitive problem solving and pattern spotting, more than students of lower aptitude. Some may see this an unfair and argue that naturalistic methods do not have this bias. • Many students find it boring and would be more motivated by other tasks.
  • 21. Translation into English - pros • Sentences and passages in the TL are a source of comprehensible input. • Translation requires a fine attention to detail. Everything must be understood and rendered accurately. • Some pupils enjoy the challenge of doing it. It can be satisfying to find the solution. • There may be some real life use for it, despite changes in technology. • We often translate in our heads so why not help develop this skill?
  • 22. Translation into English - cons • Beyond a certain level it becomes a test of English usage as much as a test of comprehension. • Students are writing English when they could be writing in the traget language. This limits acquisition. • Detailed comprehension can be assessed in other ways which provide more language input e.g. TL multiple choice. • Teaching this skill in the classroom involves using English, not communicating in the TL. • It is a task which involves talking about the language not using it.
  • 23. Literary text issues • Matching difficulty level with students’ maturity • Can be prose, drama, poetry, letters, song • Text books will have examples • Best done in moderation? • Problems with using authentic sources
