23 – Should we DE-ACCENT our students? – Sam Hellmuth

acum 4 years

—

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/mastersoftesol/23_-_Should_we_DE-ACCENT_our_students__-_Sam_Hellmuth.mp3 THIS IS THE LAST PODCAST (for the foreseeable future). I’m hardly prolific with podcast releases but this will be the last one for the foreseeable future. I’ve decided to concentrate more on the YouTube side of things. YouTube Channel – www.youtube.com/channel/UCKbariMdEytYHdmkpXiILnQ The channel will have materials, concept videos and general useful teaching stuff! Please do all the usual YouTube stuff so I can be more visible on the site and you know when new videos are released (plus, it’s a digital pat on the head for me). With Sam Hellmuth of York University, England, we think about these questions: With language acquisition, which comes first – production or perception? Why do your students sound angry when they aren’t? How much does accent affect comprehension? Can we learn to ‘de-accent’? Should we bother teaching English stress patterns? Sam smoothly mixes theory and practical tips with some excellent real-world examples. Something for everyone. We make a few references to the Lingua Franca Core, which is a topic that was covered way back in episode 4.

22 – Online Learning Past and Future – Stafford Lumsden

http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/22_-_Stafford_Lumsden_-_Online_Learning.mp3 {bleep bloop bleep} I booted up cyborg teacher Stafford Lumsden to talk about online learning and the changing perception of what exactly a classroom is. We are more connected than ever and this shift in technology is changing the options that students have and how we teach. We discuss…. distance learning e-learning vs online learning Is online education as ‘good’ as offline? Basics of having a repository LMS – Learning Management System – create assignments, give feedback, students upload and interact with each other and the instructor The pros and cons of a fully online classroom No one-size-fits-all with online teaching Useful resources: Google – heard of it? add dot com. It’s quite good. Google Sites – make your own web pages classroom.google.com – education specific ‘classrooms’. Students can submit and track assignments. Teachers can receive and give feedback on assignments all within the Google eco-system. wix.com – make your own web pages moodle.org – open source LMS. Requires some computer savvy to use Blackboard.com – pricy. Would require financial support from your department…

21 – Can Dictation Be Fun? – Oksana Kharley

http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/21_-_Can_Dictation_Be_Fun__-_Oksana_Kharley.mp3 “Oh googie…dictation….” Possibly one of the most misused input/output techniques. The dreaded dictation. How can we move beyond playing a CD or reading and having students just write down what they hear? Oksana Kharley takes us through some useful approaches and techniques for practicing listening and writing that don’t include playing audio a couple of times and then handing out a script. Her ideas can help open up some new avenues for activities that the word and a new way of thinking about “dictation” (eg, does it NEED to include writing?) Some of these activities come from: Paul Davis & Mario Rinvolucri. (2006). Dictation. New methods, new possibilities . CUP.…

http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/20_-_Roger_Fussellman_-_TED_Talks_in_ESL_ELF_class.mp3 I caught up with Roger Fusselman after his KOTESOL conference presentation on using TED talks and videos in general for language teaching. This is a MUST listen for anyone using visual media in the classroom. We cover the DOs and DON’Ts of choosing videos as well as his principles of using media: Challenge / Meaningful / Support / Choice / Integration (connecting ideas) / Variety / Application Video Sites referenced: http://www.ted.com/talks http://bigthink.com/ http://www.ideacity.ca/watch-talks/ Specific videos referenced: How to start a movement Power poses for confidence…

http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/19_-_Reflective_Practice_-_Thomas_Farrell.mp3 The self-styled ‘bad boy’ of language teaching, Thomas Farrell, dropped by my office to take about self reflection. What do we do in the classroom and, importantly, WHY do we do it? Who are YOU as a teacher and what do YOU bring into the classroom? Start adding this reflective practice regularly to your professional life and you’ll be surprised at the difference it can make to your personal and professional development. Also a good lesson about having a safety net. I recorded this with my fancy MICs but the recordings failed for some reason, so this is based on my phone back-up recording. Phew….…

Jon Campbell-Larsen takes us through the how and why of teaching Discourse Markers. Here is a link to an example of how to scaffold students practicing these markers (based on Jon’s KOTESOL hand out). Feel free to adapt it for your own classes.

16 – Eytan Zweig – what words really mean – semantics and pragmatics

acum 8 years

Plurals are easy, right? There’s one or there’s more than one… pretty straight forward. “All”, “every”, “All the” “each” – that’s pretty simple too, isn’t it? Well, hold on to something sturdy as Eytan Zweig gets you to think a little deeper about how we both form and understand language. The literal meaning (semantics) and the meaning of the use (pragmatics) of the language is a vital part of how we communicate in real life. So, let’s a show like this is chomping at the bit to dig down into this topic. http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/16_-_Eytan_Zweig_-_what_words_really_mean_-_semanitics_and_pragmatics.mp3 Keywords: ESL, EFL, TESOL, TEFL, CELTA, DELTA, pragmatics, semantics, linguistics, language, second language, teaching, learning, English, Israeli, Hebrew, bilingual, mulitlingual, York, University of York, UK, England, cognition, Eytan Zweig,…

15 – The Student Becomes The Teacher – Justin McKibben

acum 8 years

—

In the first of this batch of hit-n-run quickie interviews from the KOTESOL conference in Seoul at the end of 2016, I spoke to Justin McKibben about how we can expand students roles. By giving students certain speaking tasks the traditional classroom would consider a teacher’s job, we can vastly increase student talk time and give them a broader sense of control in their own classroom. Justin takes us through some of the techniques we can use in our classrooms to shift away from the traditional teacher-fronted classroom. You can start using these techniques immediately. http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/15_-_The_Student_Becomes_The_Teacher_-__Justin_McKibben.mp3 STT, TTT, ESL, EFL, TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, DELTA, teacher-fronted classroom, teaching, English,…

Your Funny EFL / ESL Teaching Stories – an open call

acum 8 years

—

I’m making a Christmas episode of the podcast and I need your help. Yes, YOU. The person reading this right now. Don’t look around, I’m talking to you~! http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/MOT_call_for_stories.mp3 As serious, devoted education professionals, we all love hearing about things going wrong or weird in a lesson, so the end-of-year episode is going to be a collection of funny stories from the classroom. I’ve already recorded a few with the recent interviewees. If you’d like to contribute, I’d love to have your story. They don’t have to be long at all. One I have already is just a teacher leaning against the classroom door and falling straight through it! Short n sweet. But longer ones are good too. If you have more than one that’s even better. So, any mishaps, odd co-workers, weird or funny experiences, just record yourself telling the story (just on your phone is good enough!) and send it to mastersoftesol@gmail.com If you want to be anonymous, that’s fine, otherwise you a can give your name at the start. As it’s the end-of-year show, the sooner I get them the better, so don’t delay if a story comes to mind Cheers…

This episode, we start with a little experiment and get more interactive. Let us know what country you thought the music originated in at @MOTcast with the hashtag #motesol . I’ll put up the results on www.mastersoftesol.com http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/13_-_What_the_way_you_speak_says_about_you_-_Sociolinguistics_with_Andrew_Euan_MacFarlan.mp3 Andrew Ewan MacFarlane is a lecturer at University of York in the Department of Language and Linguistic Science and a sociolinguist. We spent a while flipping back and forth between accents and dialects, reminiscing about Margaret Thatcher, thinking about unobtrusive kiwis and kangaroos, gettin’ daaaan wit da yoof o’ London innit, and playing “Name That [Country of Origin] Tune”. This was one of my favourite interviews so far and hopefully inspires more than a few listeners to get deeper into the subject.

12 – Babies and First Language Acquisition – Tamar Keren-Portnoy pt1

http://traffic.libsyn.com/mastersoftesol/12_-_First_Language_Acquisition_-_Tamar_Keren-Portnoy_pt1.mp3 @MOTcast Now on Instagram ! Once again, I got lost in the labyrinthian corridors of the University of York Language & Linguistic Science department, this time to speak to Tamar Keren-Portnoy about first language acquisition. There’s a lot of similarities between how we learn our first language and how we acquire our second language, so it’s a useful topic for ESL / EFL / second language teachers. She gives us insights into such things as how babies develop syntax/grammar norms, why they learn some words earlier than others, how babies are not simply mimicking their caretakers and, through her own research with Rory DePaolis & Marilyn Vihman, how babies learn through listening and the sounds they themselves make. You may remember Marilyn Vihman from episode 9 of MOT. Later in the year, I’ll release a mini-episode about the developmental stages of babies.
