閱讀教學：心智圖運用1

第四課的課文引導

現在的國中英文課本月寫越有趣了，而且因為他們已經把國中三年的文法大概教完，剩下的單元大多只是拿來複習句型片語，所以上起來比較輕鬆。今天我們開始上了第四課，在說爸爸送給兒子的一個很神奇的機器人，這個機器人有的很多功能，學生看了覺得很有趣，我也覺得這課雖然沒有很實用（因為寫的都太不可能了），但卻可以給學生很多想像的空間。

1. 暖身活動：看課本標題，並回答下面的問題。

- 猜猜看這課在講什麼？

- 有沒有看過神奇的機器人？

- 你覺得機器人能夠做什麼？

2. 口說活動：課本圖片（不同機器人的配對），用英文與學生進行口語問答，並一個一個請學生介紹給我聽，和學生討論哪個機器人最實用，哪幾個機器人不太管用。

3. 領讀課文：帶學生一起念課文一次，請學生說一說大意，並檢驗和他所猜的題目有沒有符合。

4. 詞彙教學：搭配講義口述補充。

5. 心智圖學習單：請學生找出課文當中，機器人會做的事情，並透過心智圖整理出來。

6. 回家作業：請學生回家設計一個自己的機器人，並回答下面的問題：
- 機器人叫什麼名字？
- 他是男生還是女生？
- 機器人長得怎麼樣？
- 機器人多久需要充電一次？
- 你的機器人要多少錢？
- 你的機器人有什麼功能？

我的學生一直以來都很有創造力跟想像力，我覺得他應該會把作業做的很有趣，很期待囉！

Midterm Micro Teaching

Its' my lesson plan tomorrow's micro-teaching. The topic is How's the weather? in Longman Book 8, Unit 1. I designed the situation in the concept of weather report, and even invite students to be weather reporters. Its' fun and interesting. Besides, I adapted a song, How's the weather, Mr. Lin, on the basis of a song from Youtube. Wish Joyce will like it!

Adam Lambert: If I Had You Lyrics

So I got my boots on, got the right 'mount of leather
And I'm doing me up with a black color liner
And I'm workin' my strut but I know it don't matter
All we need in this world is some love
There's a thin line 'tween the dark side and the light side baby tonight
It's a struggle gotta rumble trying to find it

But if I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, then money, fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah, if I had you
You y-y-y-y-you
You y-y-y-y-you
You y-y-y-y-you
If I had you.

From New York to LA getting high rock n' rollin
Get a room trash it up 'til it's ten in the morning
Girls in stripper heels, boys rolling in Maseratis
What they need in this world is some love
There's a thin line tween a wild time and a flat line baby tonight
It's a struggle, gotta rumble tryin' to find it

But if I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, then money, fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah, if I had you
You y-y-y-y-you
You y-y-y-y-you
You y-y-y-y-you

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/if-i-had-you-lyrics-adam-lambert.html ]

If I had

The flashing of the lights
It might feel so good
But I've got you stuck on my mind, yeah!
The fashion and the stage
It might get me high
But it don't mean a thing tonight

That would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah, if I had you, the money, fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah, if I had you
You-y-y-y-y-you
You-y-y-y-y-you
You-y-y-y-y-you
If I had you

That would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah, if I had you, then money, fame and fortune never could compete (never could compete with you)
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy (it'd be ecstasy with you)
Yeah, if I had you
You y-y-y-y-you
You y-y-y-y-you
You y-y-y-y-you
If I had you

Participatory Approach

Background

Originated in the early sixties, Paulo Freire
Problem-solving-oriented
1980s, widely discussed
Content is meaningful yo all Ss and any forms are emerge from that content.
1960s, Paulo Freire, native-language literacy program, slum dwellers and peasants in Brazil
Education is meaningful to the extent that it engages learners in reflecting on their relationship to the world they live in and provides them with a mean to shape the world.(Freire and Macedo 1987)
Education is not value free, social, historical, cultures forces affect Ss' life.
Experience
Write a group letter to the mayor's office to request better lighting.
Record Ss' answers, making sure not to change their words.
Reread and edit the letter for homework.

Principles

What happens in the classroom should be connected with what happens outside that has the reverence to the Ss.
Problem-posing process
Education is most effective when it is experience-centered, when it relates to Ss' real needs.
By finding voices, Ss can act in the world and learn to see themselves as social and political beings.
Focus on linguistic form occurs within a focus on content. Language skills are taught in service for change, rather than its isolation.
For Ss to be evaluating their own learning and to increasingly direct it themselves.
Language focus follows from content.
"Real communication, accompanied by appropriate feedback that subordinates form to the elaboration of meaning, is a key for language learning." (Auerbach 1992)

Learning Strategy Training

Background
Cognitive Approach, early 1970s
Perception, 1975, Rubin, facilitate learning, "the techniques or devices which a learner may use to acquire knowledge."
Good learners needed training in learning strategies. (Wende 1985)
Training Ss in the use of learning strategies in order to improve their learning effectiveness.

Experience
Read the Ss' learning journals
Advance organization
Preview, skim, think-aloud technique
Skip those you don't know e meaning of. Don't use your dictionaries.
Make predictions
Write about experience in your learning journals.

Principles
Ss' prior knowledge and learning experience should be valued and built upon.
Studying certain learning strategies will contribute to academic success.
Teach not only language bur also learning.
Modify the strategy to meet their own learning needs. Hand-on experience is the best way.
Learning strategy fits content-based instruction. Strategy should not be taught in isolation, but rather as part of the content-area or language curriculum.(Grabe and Stoller 1997)
An added benefit of learning strategy training is that it can help learners to continue to learn after they have completed their formal study of target language.
Metacognitive strategies are used to plan, monitor, evaluate a learning task by Chamot and O'Malley in 1994. Examples: arrange the conditions, set long and short goals, and check comprehension during listening or reading.
The other category is social/affective stratgies where learners intact with other persons or use affective control to assist learning. Examples: create situations and practice TL with others, use self-talk, and cooperate with others to share information, otain feedback, as well as complete a task.

Cooperative Learning

Background
Cooperative or collaborative learning involves Ss learn from each other in group together.
Group configuration
Ts teach Ss to collaborative or social skills so that they can work together more effectively.( Jacob 1998)

Experience
You will work together to learn the new vocabulary.
T circulates among the groups, but doesn't say anything.

Principles
Ss are encouraged to think in terns of positive interdependence.
Ss often stay toghther in the same groups for a period of time so they can learn how to work better and get along with others together.
Groups are mixed: males and females, different ethnic groups, or different proficiency levels.
Give the criteria to Ss.
Social skills such as acknowledging another's contribution, asking others to contribute, and keeping the conversation calm need to be explicitly taught.
Language acquisition is facilitated by Ss interacting in TL.
Responsibility and accountability is shared.
