    Review Of Diane Larson-Freeman's 'Towards The End Of Chapter 4'

    Towards the end of Chapter 4 by Diane Larson-Freeman, she urges readers to “…make the bridge between this book and your teaching situation” (50). This book is a constant reminder for pedagogues and developing teachers to reflect and evaluate their own teaching habits to determine if they are offering students the best possible education. The goal of this method is to increase communicative competence in the second language. This is accomplished through memorization, repetition, and a series of drills that build up and add different skills as student’s progress. In my teaching situations, I use aspects of the Audio-Lingual method, especially in an English Conversation Club I facilitate.…

    Ashlyfive point linguistic star

    We’ve allowed a natural approach to language instruction to dominate our schools, hoping our English learners 
“will just figure it out.” (SCOE, 2009) This approach suggested by Kevin Clark proposes that teachers explicitly teach ELL by giving them a set of skills. Teacher will have to teach students not just vocabulary, but the sound system of language, the words and their word parts and meanings, and also rules for structuring sentences grammatically. Teaching students from this perspective can support a deeper understanding of the language. When the concept is thoroughly supported by background knowledge, explanation as to why, activities that strengthen skills, and consistency in lesson structure that follows this pattern, students are more likely to understand the concept and create a platform from which to launch higher level thinking and conclusions on following concepts and content area. Students learn more efficiently when they have prior knowledge on a presented concept. If the student can link content to a concept that they gained from previous knowledge on from their own unique background or culture, it will inevitably spark interest in that subject area. By sparking interest the teacher is now adding value to the lesson. Since students synonymize interest with value, the teacher would prove effective. Now a sense of purpose has now been infused into the lesson, and the student/students may begin to contribute more. (NCREL, 1990)…
