Quiz Review

Quiz:
  1. Communication cultures connection comparison
  2. Interpersonal (between two students) interpretive (understanding other people's stuff) Presentational (students communicate and produce the information. No opportunity for two way). It's very hard to have interpersonal without interpretive.
  3. Major change - emphasis on integrating the curriculum. We think of everything as being one. Multitasking. Communication is not just about stringing together grammatical structures. It includes having an understanding of context as well. Push towards communication rather than test proficiency (students who fill in the blanks and get it right, can't usually communicate just on that.)
  4. Superior-connected discourse and speech. abstract, hypothetical, unfamiliar, synthesize, defend opinions, high level of accuracy, interaction with natives (has as much to do with thinking process as well as language). Advanced -paragraphs. Intermediate -concrete topics, creativity, still errors, sentences with subordinate clauses and questions. Novice - words and phrases. concrete, familiar, memorized, repeat, accuracy is lower and depends on scope of conversation. Native speaker may have trouble understanding. |These allow students to do more as they move up, and students must have a greater knowledge of the world. We need to see the various things that we should work on. We also can see that students can't be doing things when they are novices that are up at a higher level such as writing a paragraph. To move students to the next level, progressively provide them with the material to get up there, and give them the necessary scaffolding. Show them how to move things around in different combinations. Take different sentence elements and letting them put them together will allow the students to get from novice to intermediate. This can also be helpful to the students (though you will most likely want to do it in English)
  5. Students have clues to help them connect
  6. Bottom-up is details and nuts and bolts. The top-down is the vision of what should take place. The overall understanding.
  7. aldskfn
Advocacy - Opportunity to educate. Most of hte time you only have 30 seconds. Goal is to give people one new piece of information so that they will be more inclined to use the correct piece as they pass information along. Correct misinformation.

1) Why- talk about past
2) how - aba or ias
3) What is it called
4) When

We tend to give students two sets of rules. As a teacher, we need to simplify it so that they only need to think through one set of rules.
