14th Learning Reflection in Seminar in English Language Teaching Course

Teacher reviewed about Communicative Language Teaching.
Later Canale and Swaine (1980) described four dimensions of communicative competence.
1. Grammatical competence: refers to what Chomsky calls linguistic competence.
2. Sociolinguistic competence: refers to an understanding of the social context in which communication takes place (role relationships, shared beliefs and information between participants)
3. Discourse competence: refers to the interpretation of individual messsage elements in terms of their interconnectedness and how meaning is represented in relationship to the entire discourse or text.
4. Strategic competence: refers to the coping strategies that participants use to initiate terminate, maintain, repair and redirect communication

Teaches’ Role in Learn’s  Autonomy
Breen and Candline classify the roles of teachers into the following categories: teacher as manager and organizer; teacher as facilitator; The third role is that teacher as counselor. (Richards and Rodgers 1986, p.77)
1. Managers and Organizers
2. Facilitator       - a guide to motivate in learning
                             - a guide to resource
                   - an Evaluator To The Results
3. Counselor

Learner-centered/child-centered
          1. Learner-centered teaching engages students in the hard, messy work of learning.
2. Learner-centered teaching includes explicit skill instruction.
3. Learner-centered teaching encourages students to reflect on what they are learning and how they are learning it.
4. Learner-centered teaching motivates students by giving them some control over learning processes.
5. Learner-centered teaching encourages collaboration.


Top down vs Bottom up approach
         
         Some contents that teacher present to me, they are the lesson that I already know. So, it’s easy for me to understand.
But applying CLT for Thai students is still difficult because Thai context is familiar with teacher’s center more than students center.
I think teaching by using varioous of techniques and activities that suit with learner's level. It can make CLT effective.
