Writing In the lower levels, EFL learners progress from writing secluded words and phrases, to short
paragraphs about some specific topics or very common topics like family, home, and hobbies and
friends. Language learners show weaknesses in vocabulary and comprehension but relative strength
in decoding, whereas native speakers with low literacy tend to show the opposite pattern
(Alamprese, 2009; MacArthur et al., 2010a). Even for those highly literate in their first language,
some explicit teaching of English decoding rules may be needed to fill gaps in knowledge (Davidson
and Strucker, 2002). Conclusion A good second language instructor is a significant factor when
learners are studying a second language. The teacher should be more sensitive in the correction
process and not focus much on every error that is identified. An indigenous speaker of Chinese may
for instance encounter more difficulties than an indigenous speaker of German, because German is
closely related to English more than Chinese is. The article concludes with a discussion of theoretical
and empirical implications and methodological suggestions. Download Free PDF View PDF See Full

known about the development of more than two languages, and so we have restricted our focus to
the bilingual case. Systematic instruction requires teachers to thoughtfully choose the key words that
they teach and create multiple opportunities for meaningful exposure to the words and their
meanings. However, a distinction can be made between the two. Before You Start Writing That
Paper A Guide to Prewriting - SLC. The Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training program, or
I-BEST, in Washington state is a program in which basic skills instructors and college-level career-
technical faculty jointly design and teach college-level occupational courses for adult basic skills
students. Communicative language teaching Communicative language (CLT) concentrates on
interaction as both a technique and an objective of learning a second language. It offers an
opportunity to practice second language skills related to both reading and writing, and it can be
another way to track second language proficiencies. However, making the language more
comprehensible does not mean using child-like content. On occasion we use more specific terms
provided by study authors when referring to individual research studies. A good second language
teacher should have the appropriate qualification and education. Most of those who advanced
received 50 or more hours of instruction, taking on average 50 to 149 hours of attendance (usually
referred to as “100 instruction hours”) to advance one level. We propose a coding scheme for the
uses made of the L1, exemplify them, and report on exploratory analyses intended to describe
differences between and within the tasks in terms of the amount of English (L1) used. They confront
a different situation at university and feel embarrassed when they have to communicate with
teachers in English. Communicative expression may need to be developed in both spoken and
written modalities. Clearly a qualitative difference must apply to the adult learning L2. This
information is used to inform the design of systematic and structured instruction. First, given the
importance of language development to literacy, we review research on teaching a second language
to high school or college students. Certain linguistic structures in a second language may be more
difficult to automatize and integrate later in life, which may affect comprehension of text. Its main
aim was to improve understanding of how two listeners, one from an upper-and one from a lower-
intermediate level, employed strategies to tackle language problems in the course of task completion.

Fundamental Directions on Language Learning Strategy David Wray The unsatisfactory results from
a focus on the products of language teaching led some language learning researchers since the mid
1970s to place the learner at the heart of the learning process and hinge upon the language learning
strategies (LLSs) that advanced multilingual speakers often deploy to improve their language skills.
In addition to vocabulary breadth, the depth of one’s vocabulary correlates with reading
comprehension (Qian, 1999).
This research is more concerned with what rather than how or why something has happened. Cohen
and Ernesto Macaro, propose that the volume serve as a coherent auto-critique and theoretical
synthesis of LLS research to date, with the goal of improving opportunities for all language learners
through further research into LLS. At this point, the learners work will invariably contain errors. No
empirical data was collected for this paper; instead, the. Based on feedback from you, our users,

and English) produce interference in silent reading compared with words with very similar
pronunciations (e.g., “piano”); (Kroll and Linck, 2007, 2009). In particular, language learners can
feel insecure about their English skills and cultural differences and feel conflicted between a desire
for cultural integration and a desire for preserving their own home culture. Thence, there have been a
lot of teachers in order to teach. Moreover, different components of language develop at different
rates and in an incremental fashion. Citation weighting depends on the categories and prestige of the
citing journal. You can download the paper by clicking the button above. It is only the first step
before children begin to put or to use logically the pauses between words. This pattern has not been
studied specifically with adult language learners, but it is reasonable to expect that increased
opportunities to learn from print and other exposure to spoken English beyond explicit instruction
would help all learners. At this point, the teachers should select texts while considering the difficulty
level. Finally, it decides to conduct a case study design, employ mixed method research to collect
more reliable data, apply action research and administer Strategy Inventory of Language Learning
(SILL) questionnaire, use descriptive and content analysis and cross-check the findings in order to
recognize students' learning strategies usage. Similarly, adult language learners can develop decoding
skills that are equivalent to native speakers (Alamprese, 2009). These motivate the learners to start to
manipulate the language by exposing them to certain amount of choice, although within a
supposedly controlled situation (Duff, 2000). Hence, the findings from the study suggest that
strategy-based instruction is needed to increase students' conscious learning and further to help them
transfer learnt strategies to a variety of situations outside the classroom. For individuals who are
already literate in their first language and already have a metacognitive understanding of spelling-
sound mappings, word recognition and spelling skills develop rapidly (Burt, Peyton, and Adams,
2003), especially when instruction highlights the specific characteristics of English. If there are any
changes to the journal's guidelines, we'll change our algorithm accordingly. Three independent raters
evaluated the texts in the two phases of the study using a rubric developed for this study to reflect
the comprehensive view of writing by including text-, writer-, and reader-related writing dimensions.
Data gathered between November and December 2007 from the qualitative verbal report methods of
think-aloud protocols and post-listening interviews were analysed based on O'Malley et al. (1989)
and Vandergrift (1997b). In the last thirty years researchers have paid considerable attention to use of
strategies in learning (i.e. Download Free PDF View PDF Learning Strategies in Second Language

understanding information and solving problems. Not being aware of learning strategies and how to
use them may lead to students' failure. For most people in the United States, life is mediated through
television and, to a lesser extent, film. CLT cannot now be defined in terms of precise characteristics
but serves rather as an umbrella term for approaches that aim to develop communicative competence
through personally meaningful learning experiences. Ray Jackendoff talks about the relation between
conceptual and semantic structure quite a bit. No empirical data was collected for this paper; instead,
the paper aims to examine the controversy and developments of each of the three major directions on
LLS research drawing on both cognitive and sociocultural language learning research perspectives.
Though they are motivated and want to be confident speakers of English language but they are

No empirical data was collected for this paper; instead, the paper aims to examine the controversy
and developments of each of the three major directions on LLS research drawing on both cognitive
and sociocultural language learning research perspectives. On the other hand, in a CLT based
classroom, the focus is on communication and interaction between teacher and students and among
students. Likewise in written and especially spoken language elaborations, instruction includes
frequent clarification requests and comprehension checks (Long, 2009; Yano, Long, and Ross,
1994). As described in Chapter 2, the component skills of literacy develop through participating in
routine literacy practices in a culture for particular purposes and with the materials and tools available
in the culture, which include uses of technologies for reading and writing inside and outside the
classroom. First, given the importance of language development to literacy, we review research on
teaching a second language to high school or college students. Developing tests of the second type,
especially for language learners, is a challenge, but, as for all adults in literacy instruction, it is
important to develop reliable and valid. Vocabulary learning programs need to include both an
explicit, intentional learning component and a component based around maximizing exposure and
incidental learning. For example, when college students who are highly literate in a first language are
learning English, Japanese and Chinese speakers rely on visual cues more than Korean or Persian
speakers because the latter two groups have a phonologically based rather than morphemically based
writing system, although all four of the groups use non-Latin scripts (Akamatsu, 2003; Hamada and
Koda, 2008; Koda, 1999). Its main aim was to improve understanding of how two listeners, one
from an upper-and one from a lower-intermediate level, employed strategies to tackle language
problems in the course of task completion. Box 8-2 shows practices to apply and study in future
research. Moreover, different components of language develop at different rates and in an
incremental fashion. More than 18 percent of those who speak a language other than English at
home are below the poverty level (versus 11.6 percent of those who speak only English at home), and
31.2 percent have less than a high school education (versus 11.7 percent of English only speakers).
The interest in such methods, particularly in qualitative research, is motivated in part by the
recognition that L2 teaching and learning is complex. Some also use students’ first language,
Spanish, as a resource. Both the findings and the research design of the study have implications and
suggestions for further research as well as L2 listening practice. Two hundred Hungarian teachers of
English from various language teaching institutions were asked how important they considered a
selection of 51 strategies and how frequently they used them in their teaching practice. State your
facts as simply as possible, even boldly. A particular challenge is the need to differentiate instruction
for adults in a classroom who vary in first language proficiency, educational background, and
familiarity with U.S. culture. It is also useful to include and integrate both decoding and
comprehension instruction (see Chapter 6 for further discussion of instructional approaches).
O'Malley and Chamot (1990) differentiate learning strategies from communicative strategies by
stating that, as a label, learning strategies focus on language acquisition, while communicative
strategies focus on the language use. Part three identifies practices to develop language and literacy
instruction that warrant application and further study with adults developing their English language
and literacy skills outside school. Finally, extensive reading and vocabulary development in the
second language are also helpful for writing. Download Free PDF View PDF Developing a Context-
Sensitive Pedagogy for Communication-Oriented Language Teaching MELISSA GUEVARA
SERRANO When communicative language teaching (CLT) was first developed in the 1970s, it was
widely seen as the definitive response to the shortcomings of previous approaches and the
communication needs of a globalized world. Instruction that focuses the learner’s attention is needed
to isolate and highlight the crucial parts of the input, especially with complex structures of syntax
(Gass, Svetics, and Lemelin, 2003). English learners can become demotivated, frustrated with the
slow pace of literacy instruction; repetitive instruction (e.g., as teachers try to catch up students who
have missed a class); a focus on topics that are not well matched to the learner’s education level,
interests, or familiarity with U.S. culture (e.g., a focus on holidays when content related to science
and technology and topical discussions is preferred). We use cookies to create the best experience for

to monitor students’ progress. For instance, it is not obvious that a person whose native language is
English is necessarily capable of teaching English. However, there is no agreement on what exactly
strategies are and what characteristics they have. In summary, this paper has provided an analysis of
Ella’s use of verbal language in terms of content, form and use.
