Syllabus & Assessment
• Attendance [10%] & Participation [20%] (30%)• Attendance is mandatory. Participants who arrive to
class 10 minutes or more after the start of class will be considered late. Participants who are late 3 times will receive 1 absence. Any participant who misses ¼ or more of all class meetings WILL receive an F in the course. More important than attendance is participation. I expect participants to be active in class discussions and to complete all oral and written assignments BY THE DUE DATE. If assignments are handed in late without prior permission from the instructor, 10% for each late day will be deducted from the grade. Finally, participants in this course will have several opportunities to apply the skills learned in lectures, discussions and workshops by engaging in various “in-class” activities and projects.
• Homework on readings (20%)• It is essential to be prepared for each class by
completing the required readings. This will provide you with the background knowledge on the topic and allow you to participate actively in the class discussion. In order to ensure that you have read the required readings for class, you will be expected to do a short homework assignment for the reading. This homework assignment involves answering the guiding reading questions presented at the beginning of each reading. These homework assignments are to be submitted at the beginning of class. Late submissions will NOT be accepted.
• Lesson Plan & Material 1 & 2 (25% each)
• These two assignments are critical to success in this course. Participants will be expected to write a student learning objective (SLO), design a lesson plan to achieve the SLO, and select, adapt, and/or supplement the materials that the Ss will need to complete the lesson successfully.
• Lesson Plan & Material 11. Create a student learning objective (SLO) for a
productive skill lesson (speaking lesson).2. Create a lesson plan following the E-I-F
framework using the given template3. Label the stages in the lesson E-I-F4. Include interaction for each step in the lesson
(T-S, S, Ss-Ss, etc.)5. Provide a purpose or a rationale for each step in
the lesson6. Select, adapt and/or supplement the necessary
materials to be used in the lesson7. Label your materials so that they match the
steps in your lesson plan
Homework for Next Week
• Read and answer the questions to Tomlinson’s “Introduction to Material Development”
Icebreaker & Mini-Lesson
• Role playing prep If this class were designed for upper elementary Ss, then:– How old would you be? – What kind of Ss would you be? Hardworking? Quiet? Shy?
Extroverted? Studious?– Would you have taken an English class before or is it your first
time in an English class?– What would be your strongest skill; your weakest skill?
(listening, speaking, reading, writing)– What kind of errors would you make?
• This mini-lesson; however, is designed for low level freshman university Ss. Why would it be inappropriate for elementary Ss?
Something to think about
• What materials did I use in this mini-lesson?
• What made them relevant?
