Problem
Activitie
1. Dictogloss: Thes class gets divided
into groups of four in which one member
tells a story using past tense and then
they have to take notes and rebuild it.
Once done other member tells another
and
so
on.
2. Negotiation of meaning: The class
will be divided in groups in four in which
they will have to complete jigsaw
puzzles about short stories and talk
about them to the rest of the class.
3. Corrective Feedback: Students and
teacher sit in circle and begin to talk
about a designated topic that varies in
the time they perform this activity.
Whenever a student makes an error, the
teacher can correct it and continue with
the conversation. In further lessons
students would be able to correct
themselves.
Methodological
proposal
NEGOTIATION
Negotiation of meaning: Learners
can not always provide each other with
the
accurate
grammatical
input.
Nevertheless, they can offer each other
genuine
communicative
practice.
Context
FEEDBACK
The Corrective Feedback has been
identified as one feature that is believed
to play a crucial role in helping learners
make connections between form and
meaning.
Implicit Feedback: The teacher or
another student responds to a students
error without directly indicating an error
has been made, e.g. by means of a
recast.
Explicit Feedback: The teacher or
DICTOGLOSS
It is often regarded as a multiple skills
and systems activity. Learners practice
listening, writing and speaking (by
working in groups) and use vocabulary,
grammar and discourse systems in order
to complete the task.
The Dictogloss, for example, is a
language teaching technique that is used
to
teach
grammatical
structures.
