Book Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms

Download or read book Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms written by Jack C. Richards and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-03-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text introduces teachers to techniques for exploring their own classroom experiences. The paperback edition introduces teachers to techniques for exploring their own classroom experiences. Numerous books deal with classroom observation and research, but this is the first to offer a carefully structured approach to self-observation and self-evaluation. Richards and Lockhart aim to develop a reflective approach to teaching, one in which teachers collect data about their own teaching; examine their attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions; and use the information they obtain as a basis for critical reflection on teaching practices. The approach is not linked to a particular method, but rather can be applied to a variety of methodologies and teaching situations. Each chapter includes questions and activities appropriate for group discussion or self-study.

Book Emerging Englishes

Download or read book Emerging Englishes written by Alex Baratta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-22 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book encourages further conversation on the expanding circle in World Englishes, offering a detailed look at ‘China English’ through the academic writing of Chinese students at a British university. The volume seeks to blur the simplistic binary of ‘Chinglish’, a broad term often understood to encompass grammatical or lexical errors or seemingly ‘unnatural’ expressions, and ‘China English’, which the authors articulate here as its own variety, as evidenced in language use marked by predictability. The research framework begins with analysing student essays in one programme at the University of Manchester, predominantly made up of Chinese students. In highlighting recurring features and supported by online surveys of the students, the authors demonstrate how ‘China English’ displays the systematicity in grammar and lexis observed in varieties of English. In focusing on academic writing, a genre which bears prominence in assessment, the book raises key questions about implications for teaching, what is considered appropriate language, and whether, rather than seeking to replace ‘Standard English’, the notion of what is ‘standard’ might be broadened to encompass other varieties. The book further promotes implications beyond pedagogies, to include learning more broadly, marking, curriculum/policy, training, and identity negotiation. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in language and education, World Englishes, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.

Book English Exposed

Download or read book English Exposed written by Steve Hart and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having analysed the most common English errors made in over 600 academic papers written by Chinese undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers, Steve Hart has written an essential, practical guide specifically for the native Chinese speaker on how to write good academic English. English Exposed: Common Mistakes Made by Chinese Speakers is divided into three main sections. The first section examines errors made with verbs, nouns, prepositions, and other grammatical classes of words. The second section focuses on problems of word choice. In addition to helping the reader find the right word, it provides instruction for selecting the right style too. The third section covers a variety of other areas essential for the academic writer, such as using punctuation, adding appropriate references, referring to tables and figures, and selecting among various English date and time phrases. Using English Exposed will allow a writer to produce material where content and ideas—not language mistakes—speak the loudest.

Book excerpt: 臺灣高中生的英文寫作能力大幅下降已經是不爭的事實。這可由每年大學指定科目考試中的英文作文皆有數萬考生得零分,和全民英檢中的寫作能力通過率甚低中看出端倪。再者,加上臺灣的高中英文老師大部分也把教英文寫作視為一件苦差事,兩個因素交互影響之下,著實令人不免擔憂將來我們的高中生是否能夠再提起筆寫一篇最基本的英文文章。在過去,學生在學習上的「犯錯」往往被認為是種罪惡(Sin),需除之而後快,並且極力避免再犯。但如今,「犯錯」在教育上卻傳達了另一項正面的訊息,它表示了學生是在應用已知的知識,加上其探索嘗試的精神,在建構一個屬於自己的學習過程。因此,學生的錯誤所代表的正是他們正在積極的在測試自己在「學習」上的假設。本書即針對目前臺灣高中生的英文寫作歷程作一番深入的探討。書中透過寫作樣本分析、問卷和訪談的方式來(一)歸類和計算出臺灣高中生常犯的英文寫作錯誤種類和頻率,並試圖提出可能造成犯錯的合理解釋;(二)分析學生對於其英文寫作過程中所犯之寫作錯誤的心理態度;(三)了解現職英文老師在傾聽完學生的想法和態度後的另一番見解。作者發現臺灣學生的英文寫作的確在語意的表達上不求甚解,甚至充滿中文化的使用和思考邏輯,在文法的使用精確度上也亟需加強,且內容上也嫌創意和深度不足。另外,也發現學生對於寫作「錯誤」的態度從以往的「欲除之而後快」逐漸轉化成是一種代表測試個人學習假設的必經歷程。這些發現著實可為現今的英文作文教學帶來另一種新視野、新態度和新方法。本書從台灣高中生的英文寫作錯誤中分析了錯誤的種類及原因,並探索了學生本身對寫作錯誤的態度及看法。期望提供英文老師和學生一個對「英文寫作錯誤」的另一層省思。【秀威資訊科技股份有限公司製作】

Book Understanding English Grammar

Download or read book Understanding English Grammar written by Hung Tony T.N. and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at helping learners of English (particularly those whose first language is Chinese) to improve their understanding of, and their competence in, English grammar. It directly addresses the needs of Chinese learners and takes full account of their first language in helping them understand how English works by systematically requiring them to think about grammar, and to come up with their own hypotheses about how it works on the basis of the given data. The book is designed for students' learning on their own as well as in a classroom. Each chapter is accompanied by a separate 'students' notes', which the students can consult after working through all the data and exercises in each chapter, to check their own answers and to read further explanations on the grammatical points in question. This book therefore appeals to the growing number of students learning through self-access, as well as promotes independent learning among those enrolled in educational institutions. Key features: - Directly addresses the needs of Chinese learners of English - Concise, user-friendly grammar presentations followed by examples of correct use - Innovative exercises offering learners in-depth practice of key grammar points - Detailed students' notes section and a full answer key for easy reference - Suitable for use in class, or for self-study

Book Writing in a Bilingual Program

Download or read book Writing in a Bilingual Program written by Carole Edelsky and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1986 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A year-long study of the writing development of 27 first through third graders in an English/Spanish bilingual program was conducted during the 1980-81 school year. Samples of the children's writing were collected at four intervals, coded for computer tallying, and analyzed in terms of code-switching, spelling, punctuation and segmentation, structural features, stylistic devices, and content. Additionally, the context in which the writing developed was evaluated by classroom observations, teacher interviews, review of familial backgrounds, and a survey of the community language situation. Myths about bilingual language proficiency, biliteracy, bilingual education, teaching writing, and learning to write are all countered by evidence presented in this study. In a discussion of implications, the concept of a whole language approach to writing instruction is supported, in which authentic and functional texts are offered to and produced by children. Examples of the children's writing with appropriate translations are given along with various tables. Informal follow-up information is presented in three epilogues dealing with changes in the researcher's commitment to the study's original writing theories, the writing of some students a year after the study; and a chronological outline of the demise of the bilingual program used in the study. Appendices list interview questions used for teachers and aides and categories for coding the writing data. This book contains 134 references. (ALL)
