Recommendation
English teaching in HEIs will aim to achieve a high-level of competence in listening, speaking, reading and writing in English for purposes of international communication (EPIC). This will replace EAP which focuses mainly on reading strategies for understanding academic texts.
![Page 3: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Learning outcomes at the end (B2/C1)
› Reading different written genres relevant to the area of specialty, such as course materials or manuals, research publications, position papers, and shorter informal texts such as emails or postings through social media;
› Writing both formal and informal texts of varied types, such as those mentioned in the previous item.

Learning outcomes 2 at the end
› Listening to, understanding and responding to lectures, webinars, informal spoken explanations or argument;
› Using spoken English to interact and network with other professionals and academics from different countries in conferences or at other social or work-based events;

Why CEFR?? › They give indications of what a learner can do at
a given proficiency level. › In terms of communicative and intercultural
abilities • Integrated skills • Listening to speaking and reading to writing • Within a cultural context
![Page 6: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What can the B1 learner do? Example Can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. Can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling in an area where the language is spoken. Can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest. Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.

Testing learning outcomes: › For each proficiency level, the learner needs to be an
all rounded language user. › How it is tested? • Preferably in an integrated setting. E.g. learner
sees a video clip at his/her level and has meaningful activities of listening, reading, speaking related to the content.
• The learner is evaluated on communication as a whole and not on specific morpho-syntax.

What does this mean for L2 teaching
![Page 10: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What are key ingredients? › Meaningful exposure (comprehensible input) › Meaningful manipulation with language
![Page 11: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Teach communicatively!
› A new linguistic theory: a dynamic usage based approach
• Frequency • Saliency • Contingency
![Page 12: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Frequency › A great amount of authentic exemplars • Real speakers in a real context (repeated) • Real text in a real context (repeated) • Real interaction in a real context (repeated)
• Imitation > creative speaking
![Page 13: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Saliency › Careful articulation (by teacher) › Close reading › Careful listening
![Page 14: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Contingency › Usage events in real contexts • Words together in short meaningful phrase • Multi-modal
• Listening, seeing, doing at the same time • As many associations as possible

Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces and associations in memory, Therefore, we should encourage exposure to such language. (Ellis 2000; Langacker 2009)
![Page 18: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Form-use-meaning-mappings (FUMMs) › the pronunciation and intonation of phrases, › the use of words, › formulaic expressions, › conventionalized ways of saying things, › regular grammar and syntactic patterns, › gestures and body movement.
You know what I mean !

Repetition and imitation To fully learn constructions (at all linguistic levels)
Just to recall/remember 8 times at least! To produce creatively many more times
Producing (creative) output needs to be delayed
To entrench target forms To avoid early fossilization

CLT in Vietnam - Arrived early 1990s (Nguyen 2000) - Teachers’ positive attitudes (Le 2000, Lewis & McCook 2000, Pham 2007) - However, >50% graduates poor English skills (MOET report, 2008) - Important reasons:
- Lack of authentic input (Canh 2000; Pham 2000, 2005)
- Little listening (Nguyen & Crable 2000) - Too much emphasis on interaction & output
àSo, a DUB approach to CLT
![Page 27: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
With DUB principles in mind, • a CLT program • based on a popular movie • Vietnamese university learners of English • tested it in a semester-long experiment.

Why input through movies? - Close to everyday, natural language (Tatsuki, 2006;
Schmitt, 2010) - Meaningful context exchanges - Approximating normal usage events - Context, visuals, facial expressions - Associations (Anderson and Reder, 1979) - Cultural, social or pragmatic issues - Easy to repeat scenes - 2-3 minutes à soap opera à curiosity - Source for natural talks

Research questions
When exposed to a DUB approach as compared to the current communicative approach, do low-proficient EFL learners gain more in: 1. General proficiency? 2. WTC? 3. Self-confidence?

Positive results: Experimental Group > Control Group
- Receptive general proficiency
- Writing - Speaking - Self-confidence

Why positive results? In DUB perspectives, various interacting factors could have played a role: - Input - Revisiting of input - Language learnt in a holistic sense
- pragmatic, paradigmatic, social, cultural - Engagement of learners (popular movie)

Is movie approach appropriate for all levels - Kempees (2011): the Lords of the Flies for
13 year-old Dutch learners of English - Sri Lanka (2015): university students (B1
level) - Koster (2015) advanced learners of Dutch
as an L2

Recommendations At lower levels very intensive repetition (one
movie for 7 weeks or so) that helps to acquire the basics of the L2.
At higher levels a movie (one a week?) related to the students’ field of study which can be the input for further reading, discussion, and writing.

Why movies at every level? The main reason for the movie is for students to
hear “real” interaction, in “real” contexts, with all communication in context including
Integrated skills!
Movies can be the springboard for the integrated skills class as it starts with listening and speaking. Readng and writing activities can easily be added.

Learning outcomes Compared to B1
![Page 62: From EPIC to classroom practice · Dynamic usage based principles: Language emerges from meaningful, culturally appropriate and authentic exchanges Any use of any form creates traces](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022053106/606fde451f91de5c7555e552/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Example learning outcomes at B1: 1. Can understand the main points of clear standard
input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc.
2. Can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling in an area where the language is spoken.
3. Can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest.
4. Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.

Learning outcomes at B1 for Film Class: 1. Can understand the main points of clear standard
input in FILMX 2. Can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst
pretend travelling in an area where the language is spoken. (role plays)
3. Can produce simple connected text on topics related to film or of personal interest.
4. Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans related to FILMX.
