Syllabus & Assessment Syllabus & Assessment

Attendance [10%] & Participation [20%] (30%)

Attendance is mandatory. Participants who arrive to class 10 minutes or

more after the start of class will be considered late. Participants who are

late 3 times will receive 1 absence. Any participant who misses ¼ or more

of all class meetings WILL receive an F in the course. More important

than attendance is participation. I expect participants to be active in class

discussions and to complete all oral and written assignments BY THE DUE

DATE. If assignments are handed in late without prior permission from the

instructor, 10% for each late day will be deducted from the grade. Finally,

participants in this course will have several opportunities to apply the skills

learned in lectures, discussions and workshops by engaging in various “in-

class” activities and projects.

Homework on readings (20%)

It is essential to be prepared for each class by completing the

required readings. This will provide you with the background

knowledge on the topic and allow you to participate actively

in the class discussion. In order to ensure that you have read

the required readings for class, you will be expected to do a

short homework assignment for the reading. This homework

assignment involves answering the guiding reading questions

presented at the beginning of each reading. These homework

assignments are to be submitted at the beginning of class.

Late submissions will NOT be accepted.

Lesson Plan & Material 1 & 2 (25% each)

These two assignments are critical to success in this course. Participants

will be expected to write a student learning objective (SLO), design a

lesson plan to achieve the SLO, and select, adapt, and/or supplement the

materials that the Ss will need to complete the lesson successfully.

Lesson Plan & Material 1

1. Create a student learning objective (SLO) for a productive skill lesson (speaking lesson).

2. Create a lesson plan following the E-I-F (encounter, enternalize, fluency) framework using the given template

3. Label the stages in the lesson E-I-F

4. Include interaction for each step in the lesson (T-S, S, Ss-Ss, etc.)

5. Provide a purpose or a rationale for each step in the lesson

6. Select, adapt and/or supplement the necessary materials to be used in the lesson

7. Label your materials so that they match the steps in your lesson plan
