Introduction Welcome to TESOL Methodologies. This unit aims to cultivate your knowledge of theoretical underpinnings and skills in applications of language teaching in TESOL. We will first evaluate methodological principles of teaching approaches in relation to second language learning theories and review historical and current trends of TESOL methodologies with a focus on their pedagogical benefits and limitations.

Building on the understanding of various teaching approaches, you will solidify your TESOL repertoire by examining and operationalising teaching principles underscoring current issues, hands-on activities and evidence-based evaluations related to the four skills, vocabulary and grammar. To further demonstrate your TESOL capacity, you will develop a well-rounded lesson plan that integrates the content and language, with special attention paid to English language learners with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities This course is fully online. You are expected to finish the weekly assigned readings (either via the main textbook or the Reading List on the unit Blackboard site) and complete each online tutorial assignment and project work. One of the key components of successfully completing this unit is to manage your time well, frequently access the available online materials and involve yourself in the discussion board in order to maximise your learning and achievement of unit outcomes.

Detailed information will be also provided via Blackboard as the course progresses.

On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Evaluate lesson materials in terms of suitability for English language learners, considering cultural and linguistic differences and similarities

1. Project Report

Develop a presentation product in digital format (e.g., PowerPoint, digital poster, brochure) for a topic relevant to TESOL in particular. Your project should include research drawn from the overview of the literature, critiques of the methodological strengths and limitations, highlights of pedagogical implications related to this area, and suggested activities that your audience can adopt in their own teaching situations. This will be made available for all other students at the end of the program as well. You should be ready to summarise your draft findings in informal, non-assessed online discussions from week 3 onwards, to be arranged with the lecturer.

You may identify a personal topic of interest, to be confirmed by the lecturer, or choose from the following topics:

1. Task-based language teaching in EFL contexts 2. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of L1 in L2 classrooms. 3. Flip the classroom 4. Using Drama in the classroom 5. Music and language learning 6. Language Immersion Programs 7. Teaching Reading to complete beginners 8. Using dictionaries in the classroom 9. Motivating adolescent learners

10. The roles of a teacher 11. Using Video as a teaching aid 12. Social media and mobile phones in the classroom 13. Problem behaviour in the classroom 14. Writing at University Level for speakers of all backgrounds 15. Teaching Business English 16. The problems of someone you know in learning English as a second language. 17. Content-based instruction 18. Learning outside the classroom 19. Politeness in English 20. Alternative assessments for English language learners

Prepare the presentation professionally to be suitable for an academic audience or TESOL conference attendees. You will not be required to make the verbal presentations, but please prepare the materials with a possible presentation time, allowing for brief discussion, of 20 minutes length as a guiding aim. You should aim to produce your presentation which summarises verbally and visually the main points you want to make. The electronic reader should be able to understand all of the explicit general points you make and to perceive much of what is implicit. If you have important information you have no space for on the slides, use the notes pages.

Total: 35 marks

2. Presentation

This presentation task enables you to demonstrate how you will put TESOL principles into practice. You will present your lesson planning to showcase the designed materials and lesson progression in your final assignment. You can either use the voice-over mode to talk over slides and walk the audience through your Powerpoint presentation, or if you like, turn on the camera for the video presentation so that you can make your presence side by side with your slides. Your presentation doesn't need to be long (10 mins favourable) but should include a summary/an overview of:

l Lesson topic and rationale l Target student profile and background (cultural, language, proficiency, etc.) l Class setting l Relevant teaching principles and methodologies (e.g., TBLT, CLT, content-based, etc.) l How content, language, four skills can be integrated l Lesson planning progression and highlighted lesson activities l Samples of designed materials and resources





Based on your lesson demonstration, you will also address questions raised by your colleagues and lecturer as well as receive constructive feedback from them in order to improve your final product.

Total: 15 marks

3. Materials Development: Lesson Planning

This final task assesses your overall knowledge and skills that tap into the design of a culturally-responsive, content-based, and skills-integrated lesson plan. You will plan and prepare in detail one integrated lesson for a target group of students in a specific setting of your choice. You will start to crystalise your rationale in the lesson proposal, which will serve as a blueprint for your final lesson. The lesson should also be designed following the “Into, Through, and Beyond” model and knowledge framework to scaffold your students in the lesson. That is, they will be guided to get “into” the content by activating background knowledge, “through” it with guided support in content and language, and “beyond” it by applying their learned content/linguistic knowledge to the real-world scenarios.

Note that the unit plan proposal is not marked. It is optional but will play a major role in strengthening your final unit plan. Present the plan as per the guidelines below: 1. Lesson Plan Proposal: To help you transition more smoothly into your lesson planning, the lesson proposal will be conducive to your final product. It could also be designed for your students in your current or future teaching:

· Decide on a lesson topic related to any content area · Under the lesson topic, briefly summarize the content objectives, language objectives, skills

objectives, resources/materials, tentative progression of the lesson, activities and evaluation that you plan to include in the lesson

· Student profile (content area, grade level/age group, student proficiency level, duration of each lesson, student L1 background)

· Rationale and relevant literature (You are encouraged to use the course readings to inform your rationale of designing the content-based lesson plan)

2. Lesson Plan: The detailed content-based lesson plan should be comprised of: A. Key unit planning components:

· a title page that states the lesson topic · a scope and sequence chart that provides an overview of the key components of the lesson · a detailed rationale (see #B below for further information) · a student profile including the content area, grade level/age group, proficiency level, duration

of the lesson, student L1 background · key components consist of

o lesson objectives for content, language, skills o progression of activities (the anticipated timing for each stage and the anticipated

interaction patterns) o resources/materials (e.g., visuals, texts, worksheets, etc; see #C)

B. The rationale should specify why you have set particular aims in light of the specific needs of the particular class, how the four skills will be integrated and content knowledge supported through language and visual aids, anticipated problems and strategies, lesson materials, activities and evaluations. Also provide a reference list of cited literature following the APA 6th guidelines. C. All the lesson materials have to be submitted along with your lesson plan. These can be created by you or adapted from existing materials. Total: 50 marks





Pass requirements

In order to pass this unit, all assessment tasks must be submitted and an overall mark of 50% or more must be achieved. Assessments are not considered as submitted if any required sections are incomplete, or if the electronic file is unreadable. It is a student’s responsibility to ensure that assessments are complete and have been successfully uploaded in a readable format.

A student who has received a Fail Grade (less than 50%) for an assessment, but achieves at least 40% of the possible mark for an assessment that was handed in on time, will be offered the opportunity to resubmit. The maximum a resubmission can be awarded is 50% of the possible mark and only one assessment resubmission per unit is possible. The resubmitted work must be received by the due date.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(e.g. a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (e.g. examinations, tests) or due date/time (e.g. assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

The Unit Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the guidelines contained in the Curtin University Student Assessment and Progression policy are adhered to in their unit/s. The onus is on students to provide evidence that their inability to complete an assessment task by the due date can be accepted as being due to exceptional circumstances beyond the student’s control. Such exceptional circumstances that may warrant approval of an assessment extension include, but are not limited to:

l Student injury, illness or medical condition of such significance that completion of the assessment task was not possible;

l Family issues (eg family injury or illness, bereavement etc) of such significance that completion of the assessment task was not possible;

l Commitments to participate in elite sport or other activities that warrant favourable consideration; l Commitments to assist with emergency service activities (eg bushfire protection); l Unavoidable and unexpected work commitments (eg relocation, changes to fly-infly-out schedules).





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

http://students.curtin.edu.au/administration/

These guidelines can be found in Curtin University’s Assessment and Student Progression manual.

Students will be notified of the outcome of their application for Assessment Extension within five working days of the application.

For assignments or other submitted work, an extension will normally be granted up to seven days after the initial due date/time, unless the circumstances warrant a longer delay.

If an application for Assessment Extension is rejected, the Unit Coordinator must provide reasons for her/his decision. Students have the right of appeal (to the Head of School).

Corrupted or Unreadable Files Assessments are not considered as submitted if the electronic file is not readable. It is a student’s responsibility to ensure that assessments have been successfully uploaded in a readable format.

It is strongly recommended that students check all uploaded assessments by re-accessing Blackboard and attempting to open and read the uploaded file.

If a lecturer encounters a problem with a submitted file the student will be notified and must provide a readable file within 48 hours of this notification, after which it is considered as a late submission.

Students should check their Curtin student email daily during the assessment marking period.

Assessment Appeals Any student who genuinely believes that assessed work has been unfairly or inaccurately marked or that their final unit grade is inappropriate has the right to request a review of the mark or final result. If this review process is unable to resolve the issue, a formal assessment appeal may be lodged.

It is expected that most situations will be able to be resolved without the need for a formal appeal.

l Step 1 – Initial Request for Review by marker or unit co-ordinator. This informal review will be to check that marking was accurate and complete. The work is not completely re-assessed. Marks cannot be reviewed downwards as a result of this informal process.

Step 2 – Formal Appeal. If the appeal is upheld and the work re-assessed, this can then result in a mark that is higher, lower or the same as the original assessment.

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments, if granted by the Board of Examiners, will have a due date or be held between 26/06/2017 and 09/07/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

It is the responsibility of students to be available to complete the requirements of a supplementary assessment. If your results show that you have been granted a supplementary assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.





Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au). Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances.

If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact Disability Services. If you already have a CAP please provide it to the Unit Coordinator at the beginning of each study period.

Referencing style

The referencing style for this unit is APA 6th Ed.

More information can be found on this style from the Library web site: http://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/referencing.

Copyright © Curtin University. The course material for this unit is provided to you for your own research and study only. It is subject to copyright. It is a copyright infringement to make this material available on third party websites.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm
