December 6: Notes on Discussion with Tamo-Sensei

Issues

  • Teaching grammar from the textbooks is necessary
  • Many teachers in Iwate only do practice
  • Many teachers might misunderstand interaction
  • Interaction is not practiced much in the English class
  • Textbook content does not always match speaking and interaction topics for A1 in CEFR.
  • Interaction goals for A1 are very modest
  • Interaction is now in the new Course of Study

Necessities (Previous SLA Research)

  • Focused task can be a source of practice
  • There should be an element of Negotiation of Meaning

Unknowns

  • What skills do students want to acquire?
  • What skills do students already have?
    • Tamotsu Sensei will make a self evaluation sheet for students to write.
  • Ideas for the questionnaire
    • Ask students what they can to do
    • Ask students what they want to be able to do
    • Ask students how interested they are in English
    • Ask students whether they study English outside of school/ have been to a foreign country, etc.
