Blogs

Robert Green, prof à Saltash, m'a signalé l'existence de son blog où il communique des liens intéressants à ses élèves (Youtubes, documents, extraits d'émissions de télé etc). J'aime bien son blog et les élèves y laissent des messages affectueux.

So to Speak

Il y a pas mal de blogs écrits par des profs de langues en Angleterre. Certains profs s'en servent essentiellement pour communiquer avec leurs élèves, d'autres racontent de manière plus personnelle ce qu'ils font, ou bien partagent des idées de cours avec leurs collègues. En quelque sorte c'est de la vieille technologie, mais, peut-être par manque de temps ou de lecteurs, mes recherches indiquent que beaucoup de blogs sont éphémères.

A mon établissement les blogs sont bloqués sur le réseau informatique, ce que je trouve dommage, mais les élèves peuvent les regarder chez eux.

L'avantage du blog, par rapport à Twitter, est qu'on peut réfléchir un peu plus à ce qu'on écrit. On peut aussi télécharger des images de bonne qualité. Un prof n'est pas souvent en mesure de pouvoir taper des messages sur son portable ou son ordinateur. Donc, j'y vois personnellement peu d'intérêt, malgré l'engouement actuel pour Twitter et le pouvoir démocratique qu'il semble exercer.

Voici les meilleurs blogs que j'ai trouvés.

What is skill acquisition theory?

For this post, I am drawing on a section from the excellent book by Rod Ellis and Natsuko Shintani called Exploring Language Pedagogy through Second Language Acquisition Research (Routledge, 2014). Skill acquisition is one of several competing theories of how we learn new languages. It’s a theory based on the idea that skilled behaviour in any area can become routinised and even automatic under certain conditions through repeated pairing of stimuli and responses. When put like that, it looks a bit like the behaviourist view of stimulus-response learning which went out of fashion from the late 1950s. Skill acquisition draws on John Anderson’s ACT theory, which he called a cognitivist stimulus-response theory. ACT stands for Adaptive Control of Thought.  ACT theory distinguishes declarative knowledge (knowledge of facts and concepts, such as the fact that adjectives agree) from procedural knowledge (knowing how to do things in certain situations, such as understand and speak a language).

What is the natural order hypothesis?

The natural order hypothesis states that all learners acquire the grammatical structures of a language in roughly the same order. This applies to both first and second language acquisition. This order is not dependent on the ease with which a particular language feature can be taught; in English, some features, such as third-person "-s" ("he runs") are easy to teach in a classroom setting, but are not typically fully acquired until the later stages of language acquisition. The hypothesis was based on morpheme studies by Heidi Dulay and Marina Burt, which found that certain morphemes were predictably learned before others during the course of second language acquisition. The hypothesis was picked up by Stephen Krashen who incorporated it in his very well known input model of second language learning. Furthermore, according to the natural order hypothesis, the order of acquisition remains the same regardless of the teacher's explicit instruction; in other words,

The 2026 GCSE subject content is published!

Two DfE documents were published today. The first was the response to the consultation about the proposed new GCSE (originally due in October 2021) and the second is the subject content document which, ultimately, is of most interest to MFL teachers in England. Here is the link  to the document.  We are talking about an exam to be done from 2026 (current Y7s). There is always a tendency for sceptical teachers to think that consultations are a bit of a sham and that the DfE will just go ahead and do what they want when it comes to exam reform. In this case, the responses to the original proposals were mixed, and most certainly hostile as far as exam boards and professional associations representing the MFL community, universities, head teachers and awarding bodies are concerned. What has emerged does reveal some significant changes which take account of a number of criticisms levelled at the proposals. As I read it, the most important changes relate to vocabulary and the issue of topics
