Chapter 10

What are 3 new things...
  1. The common problems in ESL teaching and Learning: Developing academic language and background knowledge, differentiating instruction, and integrating the students' native languages. Along the line of differentiating instruction I like the idea of the software program that can assist in tracking an individual and offer ways for the student to work alone.
  2. Common Problems in foreign language programs are authentic materials, authentic perspectives, and creating audience and purpose. Under authentic materials, authentic perspectives it talks of WBLL (web-based language learning) to help students navigate faster to relevant websites.
  3. Last but not least, computer-assisted language learning (CALL) for students to enhance their speaking and listening skills.
What two things would I integrate...
  1. Support systems
    1. Language Labs, if school had proper funding
    2. Podcasts or Radio broadcasts for students to listen and speak
What is one thing I would like to learn more about...
  • More and efficient ways to correct the problems in ESL teaching and learning...
