In Language Classrooms, Students Should Be Talking

Language classes often don't focus on the aspect of learning a language that intrigues students most -- speaking it. We should get students talking more.

By Sarah Wike Loyola

September 9, 2016

'We have gotten it wrong, really wrong, in the language classroom. Historically, the teacher stood at the front of the classroom spouting details of grammar. Students sat at desks placed in straight rows directed toward the teacher and madly took notes. They later filled out worksheets and tried to memorize the content presented by the all-knowing educator. And this is still often the scenario today.

What's missing? Students are not allowed to focus on the one aspect of learning a language that intrigues them -- the speaking. So much time is spent teaching students about the language that they rarely have time to use it in a genuine way. The result is that most students decide to stop studying a foreign language once they realize they're not actually achieving their goal of speaking it.

The first step toward teaching students to speak a language well is understanding proficiency. Great language teachers comprehend proficiency levels and teach their students about them. Once proficiency is the central focus in the classroom, grammar no longer reigns -- communication does. Spending time in the classroom on all modes of communication -- interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational -- is essential, but interpersonal communication should be the main emphasis. To achieve this, the teacher must get out of the way.'

Desert island (elllo.org) / extras: podcast addict

WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE ON A DESERT ISLAND?

video (59 seconds)

__

script

'Would I like to live on a desert island? It's a great question. When I was younger, I used to really want to live on a desert island. I thought it would be one of the most fun things in the world, as long as I could take some good music and a great selection of books. I'm a massive reader, I love reading.

Even though I read an obscene amount of books, up to 15 or 20 books a month, some months, I just never seem to have as much time as I want to read the books that I want to read. I once calculated how many books have been published, how many books are being published every year. It would take more than a lifetime to read all the books I want to read because there's stuff to do in life as well. So I always thought I'd want to go and live on a desert island with all the books I could take with me and just read everyday and do sit ups and get healthy and get a nice suntan.

Now I'm a little older. A lot older, it's my birthday today. And I have a family and I have friends and things to do, and to be honest, it's still tempting, but I probably would... I would.'

OPINIÓN

Cómo educar a una generación de tontos

4/02/2021 - 

"Ayer me llegó un mensaje del padre de un alumno mientras yo estaba en clase pasando lista. ¿Qué puede hacer mi hijo voluntariamente para subir nota?, me preguntaba. Su hijo, de quince años, estaba por casualidad delante de mí en ese momento sacando el material de clase. Se me ocurrió que tal vez el niño era mudo pero recordé que no, que varias veces le había mandado callar. ¿Tal vez es muy tímido? No, no era tímido. Su relación conmigo era buena, incluso teníamos cierta confianza. ¿Es entonces que su padre piensa que es un incapaz? ¿Que es tan tonto que no sabe preguntarme él? Porque a mí nunca me pareció tonto..."
