 Creating Writing Materials

Input: Typically this is a paper or electronic text in the writing class, although it
1 may be a dialogue, video, picture or any communication data.
This provides at least one of the following:

 A stimulus for thought, discussion and writing

 New language items or the re-presentation of earlier items
 A context and a purpose for writing
 Genre models and exemplars of target texts
 Spur to the use of writing process skills such as pre-writing, drafting,
editing, etc.
 Opportunities to process information
 Opportunities for learners to use and build on prior knowledge
 The Internet and Writing Materials

Content Focus: topics, situations and information to generate

2 meaningful communication

Language Focus: Should involve opportunities for analyses of texts and

3 for students to integrate new knowledge into the writing task.

Task: Materials should lead towards a communicative task, in which

4 learners use the content and language of the unit, and ultimately to a
writing assignment.

 Speaking Skills and the Need for
Relevant Materials

One way to understand the Second language materials, as

notion of speaking skills, as viewed by Tomlinson (2010,
suggested by Bygate (1987), 2011), should be created not
is by viewing them in two only by writers but also by
basic aspects: motor- teachers and learners, in a

interaction skills. to the real classroom.

Developing Materials for
Listening Skills
Intake rich activities
and multidimensional listening skill lessons
 INTAKE RICH ACTIVITIES

 listening to the teacher reading poems, short stories, extracts

from novels, etc. (an activity which could be used for 5 minutes at
the beginning of every lesson);
 listening to a group of teachers acting a scene from a play;
 listening to the teacher telling jokes and anecdotes;
 listening to other learners reading poems, telling jokes and
anecdotes, etc. (but only if they have prepared and practised);
 listening to other learners reading aloud ‘texts’ which they have
enjoyed studying;
 INTAKE RICH ACTIVITIES

 listening to other learners doing a prepared presentation on

something which really interests them (especially if the listeners
have a choice of presenters to listen to);
 watching sports events, news events, documentaries, etc., with
commentaries in the target language;
 listening to presentations/discussions/debates on controversial
topics relevant to the learners;
 engaging in discussion with their peers on controversial topics.
Rost (1991) has used a division of listening activities into four broad types:
 EXAMPLE OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL
LISTENING SKILL: LESSON 1

1. The teacher tells the class an anecdote about her first day at
school.
2. The teacher invites the learners to think about and visualize
their own first day at school.
3. The teacher reads aloud the poem ‘First Day at School’ by
Roger McGough.
4. An invited speaker (either a teacher from another class or a
guest) tells the class about his/her first experience of a particular
activity (e.g. mountain climbing, appearing on stage, driving a
car).
 EXAMPLE: LESSON 1

5. The learners ask the speaker questions about the experience.

6. The teacher tells the class that they are going to visit a country
in Africa called Betu. As this will be the first time that any of them
have visited Betu, the teacher is going to play them a recording
which gives information about the country. They should listen to
the recording and note down anything which they think is useful
or interesting. They are told that they will all travel to Betu
together but that after the first day there they will split up into
smaller groups who will go off to different parts of the country.
 EXAMPLE: LESSON 1

7 The teacher tells the learners to look at the photographs of different

parts of Betu in their coursebook (some are of the beaches, some of the
mountains and some of the game parks).
8 The teacher plays the recording.
9 Each learner decides where they want to go in Betu and what they
want to do.
10 The learners walk around the classroom telling each other their
decisions in 9 above.
11 The learners form groups who want to go to the same place and to
do similar things.
 EXAMPLE: LESSON 1

12 The groups plan their trip to Betu using the headings provided
in the coursebook (e.g. Clothes to Take, Other Things to Take,
Health Precautions, Other Things to Do Before the Trip, Things to
Do in Betu, Things to Be Careful of in Betu, The Itinerary in
Betu).

13 The teacher plays the recording again.

14 The groups make revisions to their plans in 12.

 EXAMPLE: LESSON 1

15 The teacher tells the class that for homework each one of them
should imagine their trip to Betu. She warns them that some of the
information on the recording is not completely reliable.

16 The teacher reads the poem ‘First Day at School’ again and
tells the class where they can find it in their coursebook so that
they can read it for homework.
 NOTE:

1 The main point of these lessons is that the learners gain a lot of
experience of different types of listening from different input
sources.
2 The main role of the coursebook in these lessons is to provide:
• relevant and stimulating illustrations;
• recorded input;
• supporting materials (e.g. suggested headings, print
versions of texts);
• a lesson plan and advice in the Teacher’s Book.
 Materials for
Cultural Awareness
The culture of language and the language of culture
 The cultural dimension of
language consists of elements
that are normally classed as
‘native speaker intuition’ and
which may be achieved by only
the most advanced students.
 One recent challenge to the centrality of
grammar as an organizing principle for
the syllabus is to be found in the
‘Lexical Approach’;
"Given that lexical phrases are context-
bound, and granted that contexts are
culture specific, the recurrent association
of lexical phrases with certain contexts of
use will ensure that the sociolinguistic
ability to use the phrases in the
appropriate contexts is fostered." (Porto,
2001, pp. 52–3)
 One of the most challenging aspects of
moving into the culture of another
language is the adjustment to different
rhetorical structures.
Learners have to cope receptively and
productively, not just with word-level and
sentence-level difference, but with
different modes of textual organization.
Language awareness can be defined as
an understanding of the human
faculty of language and its role in
thinking, learning and social life.
It includes an awareness of power and
control through language, and of the
intricate relationships between
language and culture.
 Critical Language Awareness (CLA)
proceeds from the belief that language is
always value-laden and that texts are
never neutral.
Language in the world beyond the
coursebook is commonly used to exercise
‘power and consensuscontrol’, to
reinforce dominant ideologies, to evade
responsibility, to manufacture consensus.
A CLA approach implies ‘a methodology
for interpreting texts which addresses
ideological assumptions as well as
propositional meaning’ (Wallace, 1992),
which would require students to develop
sociolinguistic and ethnographic research
skills in order to become proficient at
observing, analyzing and evaluating
language use in the world around them.
