The Six Core Practices for Language Acquisition

  1.  90% Target Language: Use the Target Language as the vehicle and content of instruction. Input has to be comprehensible.
  2. TALK: Design and carry out interpersonal communication tasks for pair, small group, and whole class instruction. Use of TALK rubric to provide students with feedback on interpersonal communication.
  3.   Can-Do Statements: Design lessons and tasks that have functional goals and objectives, to include activities needed to support and meet the communication objective. Use of backward design:

1.     Identify desired results. – Big ideas and skills
2.     Determine acceptable evidence. – Culminating Assessment task
3.     Plan learning experiences and instruction – Learning events

4. PACE: Teach grammar as a concept and use in context. Understand the various approaches to grammar instruction and how to select one over the other.
  P – Presentation: Teacher presents a story (e.g. fairy tale, folktale legends) orally in an interactive fashion with students.
  A – Attention: Purpose is to focus learners’ attention on some aspect of language used in the story (noticing)
  C – Co-Construction: Teacher assists students in developing a concept of the target structure highlighted in the A phase. Learners and teacher co-construct grammatical form through a series of well-chosen, clear questions posed by teacher.
  E – Extension: Learners use the new grammatical concept in creative and interesting ways to make meaning. Extension activities are not worksheets. This phase incorporates several goal areas of the standards – e.g. Cultures, Communities. This final phase allows to bring the cycle back to the whole.

5. Comprehension Tasks: Design and carry out interactive reading and listening comprehension tasks using authentic cultural texts of various kinds with appropriate scaffolding and follow-up tasks that promote interpretation.

6. Corrective feedback: Provide appropriate feedback in speech and writing on various learning tasks.
      There are six types of corrective feedback:
1.     Explicit correction: “You should say...”
2.     Recast: Teacher reformulates student’s utterance minus the error.
3.     Clarification request: Pardon me?
4.     Metalinguistic feedback: “The word for that is an English cognate.”
5.     Elicitation: Teacher repeats exactly what student said up to the point of the error. (Research has demonstrated that this is the best technique to provide feedback to students).
6.     Repetition: Teacher repeats the student’s utterance, changing the intonation to signal the error.
