02‘Many university modern language teachers bemoan the ‘fact’ that their students do not have any metalanguage’. … If students simply need metalinguistic knowledge in order to understand language classes because such metalanguage is in common use, one possible options is to change the way one teaches, and avoid using metalanguage. Such suggestions are, however, frequently met with blank looks, and after some reflection, the assertion that students need to learn metalanguage anyway, since many will go on to become teachers. The assumption that teachers need to have metalanguage goes unchallenged.’

Alderson, J.C. (1997)

04Are metalingual terms needed?

“Writers tend to avoid using it a great deal when writing for low proficiency learners but the provision of glossaries of terms in most Pedagogic Grammar books bears testimony to a widely held view that some learner acquaintance with key terms is worthwhile.”

Fortune, A. (2005)

• Problems in research methodology

• The relationship between metalanguage and language learning

Problems in research methodology

- Timing

Timing

“…massed practice can be more effective than distributed practice in classroom learning, especially in the case of second/ foreign languages.”

Serrano, R. and Munoz C. (2007: 319)

The relationship between metalanguage and language learning

“The relationship between metalinguistic knowledge and language proficiency is weak. Metalinguistic knowledge and language proficiency appear to constitute two separate factors of linguistic ability”

Alderson et al. (1997: 118)

Page 31: WINTER Template Color Coding vs. Abbreviations to Teach Word Order 01 KMUTT Punjaporn Pojanapunya Wilaksana Srimavin King Mongkut’s University of Technology

31Does metalanguage help with language performance?

- No changes in use of metalanguage- Nearly no changes in use of language

No relationship identifiable

Should metalanguage be taught through abbreviations (terminology) or color coding?

- No changes for color coding- Small change for abbreviations

Grammatical terminology may be preferableStudents’ familiarity with terms
