Grammar Based Teaching (GBT)
IMPLEMENTATION
Start with an example: I am happy. Tom is happy. We are happy.
The girls are happy too. Are you happy?
![Page 4: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
GBT
Follow up with an explanation:
Introduce the verb “to be” Introduce the concept of “conjugation” Give the standard conjugation scheme for
this verb

GBT Begin practice of structure. Spiral up in difficulty.
For instance, a first practice could be to choose which form is correct in a discrete choice sentence format:
Linda is/am happy. My sister and I is/are happy.
A second practice could require figuring out and writing the correct form:
We _____ happy today. My sister _____ happy.
![Page 6: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
GBT Continue practice with exercises, oral or written,
that require learners to show increased ability to produce structure.
Remember-inGBT after one or two practices, new vocabulary may be introduced.
In pairs, create a sequence of two or three more practices that spiral up in complexity. Share with the group.

Task-Based Learning & Teaching (TBLT)
![Page 9: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Task-Based Learning & Teaching (TBLT)
Implementation
First, introduce a general context for what you will study and establish that the students have interest, need, or desire to learn how to do related tasks.
Example: A vacation in New York
![Page 10: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
TBLT Next, suggest one or more of the possible
tasks that would be necessary in this context, such as:
1. Making an airplane reservation2. Choosing a hotel and making the reservation3. Planning activities to do while in New York4. Actually taking the flight to New York5. Checking into the hotel
![Page 11: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TBLT
Introduce simple vocabulary helpful in the general topic, in this case, internation travel, such as:
Visa, passport, airplane, check luggage, carry-on, security, customs, reservation, nightlife, taxi, hotel, reception, room, air conditioning, check in
![Page 12: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TBLT
Practice passive recognition of the vocabulary, for instance by showing pictures of the various things or actions and asking the entire class to call out what is shown.
Alternatively, students could work in pairs, showing each other pictures, and responding with the correct word.
![Page 13: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TBLT
Begin to focus on a specific task, such as making a reservation at a hotel. Again, start with a more passive recognition exercise.
Example: a list of actions and dialogue is out of order; have the students place the events or speech acts into a logical order.
![Page 14: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TBLT Introduce a grammar concept or structure
that will be useful in fulfilling a particular task, such as a hotel reservation.
For example: Explain using the verb “to want” plus another verb, versus using the verb “to want” with a noun.
“I want a room for two people.” “I want to check in Friday, February 20th.”
![Page 15: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
TBLT Practice the new structure, using the vocabulary
that already was introduced. Spiral up in difficulty.
You could continue with a fill-in-the-blank phone dialogue between a hotel receptionist and the student, who wishes to reserve a room.
Example: Receptionist: Hello, this is the Grand National, how may I help you?
Student: I ______ a room for two people, please.
Receptionist: What day do you ______ to arrive? (etc.)
![Page 16: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TBLT
Continue to spiral up in complexity of task, while maintaining your focus on a realistic task.
In pairs, create a spoken exercise that would help prepare students for real-life task of checking into a hotel in New York. Share with the group.

Task-Based Learning & Teaching
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this method?
![Page 18: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Communicative Approach
![Page 19: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Communicative Approach Implementation Very compatible with TBLT, but more general in
its goals and exercises For instance, the same sort of process will be
used to introduce vocabulary and structures needed for a communicative act.
The communicative act might be much more general, such as “talking about family.”
![Page 20: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Communicative Introduce family vocabulary as well as a list of
common adjectives used to describe people (do passive recognition practice and simple production practice, staying in the target language)
Introduce the the verb “to be” and its conjugation, without actually explaining the concept. Just model and provide examples. (do passive recognition practice and simple production practice, staying in the target language)
![Page 21: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Communicative
Spiral up to an exercise in which students will ask each other specific questions, based on a model, but substituting from a list of adjectives.
Example: Question: “Is your mother _____? (happy, tall, blond, intelligent?” Answer: “Yes, my mother is _____.” or “No, my mother is not ____.”
![Page 22: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Communicative Spiral up to more open-ended activities in which
students are encouraged to create new utterances using the vocabulary and structures. The focus is on real communication, getting the point across, and not on perfect grammar or pronunciation, etc.
In pairs, create a more open-ended activity in which students use family vocabulary, the verb “to be” and descriptive adjectives. Share with the group.

Krashen-Second Language Acquisition theory
![Page 25: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Krashen’s Hypotheses How Krashen influences work in the classroom Acquisition versus learning hypothesis-prioritize
real communication acts over explanations Monitor hypothesis-don’t over-correct or
suggest students need to be perfect Natural order hypothesis-don’t expect
integration before its natural time Input hypothesis-provide constant input just
above the level of full student comprehension Affective filter hypothesis-create a positive
learning environment
![Page 26: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Krashen’s influence on you
How could you take one of Krashen’s ideas to change (even just a little) one activity you currently do in class or one lesson that you commonly teach?
![Page 27: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Krashen
What are the advantages and disadvantages of implementing Krashen’s ideas?
![Page 28: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A Blended Approach
![Page 29: Intro teachingmethods cooper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a224bb1a28ab92168b4631/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Blended Approach
Implementation: How can we use elements from all the previously discussed methods to plan a unit on a doctor’s visit?
What would be our learning objectives? How would we structure a lesson plan for
a one-hour class period?
