Objectives: As a result of today’s class, participants will be able to
• Define student-centered instruction for proficiency oriented classrooms
• Apply new knowledge from last week’s NoVa StarTalk to design instructional lesson plans for student-centered learning
• Show an increased understanding about how to design lessons incorporating standards and authentic materials
• Understand how to write performance objectives and plan appropriate instructional activities with materials and assessments to achieve them

• What is learner-centered instruction?
• How do I design lessons that are Standards-based, learner-centered, and incorporate authentic materials that engage all learners and promote proficiency-oriented learning?

In small groups, respond to the following:1)Describe what learner-centered instruction
means to you.2)What are Standards? How are they used in our
FL classrooms? In Taiwan and in the U.S.3)Describe interactive learning in the FL
classroom.4)Oral Proficiency and Communication in the FL
classroom – what role do they play?

Several Key Elements to help you plan for YOUR learner-centered Chinese classroom:
• Materials/resources available in Taiwan, online, and in the U.S. – textbooks, materials, online resources, facilities, etc.
• The Standards and Communicative Modes• Writing performance objectives that are
aligned with Standards

• Creating lesson/unit plans that contain the essential elements: performance-based objectives, warm-up that recalls previous learning, series of activities that reach all learners, transitions between activities, closure, and ongoing assessment embedded in learning
• Assessment used to drive instruction

• Individual Learner Variables and Differentiation of Instruction
• Collaboration with colleagues and ongoing professional development
• Reflective practice and the importance of “connected” learning
•

• We will be examining and delving into each of these topics and helping you connect to new knowledge as you begin to apply it to your instructional practice as a teacher of Chinese in Taiwan.
• In the mornings, we will specifically focus on the language classroom.
• In the afternoon, we will look at aspects of professional development and apply learning theory to support your own learning. Such topics as reflective practice and using teacher research to inform practice, as well as professional portfolio
development will be the focus of many afternoons.

• Consider your role as BOTH teacher and learner. Think of your classrooms context as containing being a place where
Teachers are Learners and Learners are Teachers (Paolo Freire)
• Consider yourself and your students with respect to The Learning Cycle

• Historically, communicative ability in a foreign language has been described in terms of the four skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
• Consider, however, that communication in the world occurs as skills that are in concert with one another, not as isolated events.
• Understanding, comprehension, & interpretation involve the blend of cognitive, social, and developmental processes.

• Interpersonal• Interpretive• Presentational
Must consider the context and purpose of the communication and use the four skills as
working together in an integrated manner

INTERPERSONAL MODEINTERPERSONAL MODE
• Features two-way oral or written communication and negotiation of meaning
• Can be face-to-face or written correspondence – AND all four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing can be involved in the Interpersonal Mode
![Page 22: Dynamic Learning in 21 st Century Chinese Classrooms: Achieving Proficiency Oriented and Learner-Centered Instruction Monday, 12 July George Mason University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f085503460f94c1d3ed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
INTERPRETIVE MODEINTERPRETIVE MODE
• Focuses on the interpretation of meaning in oral and printed texts (no possibility of negotiation of meaning with the writer or speaker).
• Occurs in activities such as listening to authentic news broadcast, reading a text, or watching a film. It may require a deeper understanding of cultural or historical context.
• Involves listening, reading, and viewing skills• Not the same as translation of a text
![Page 23: Dynamic Learning in 21 st Century Chinese Classrooms: Achieving Proficiency Oriented and Learner-Centered Instruction Monday, 12 July George Mason University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f085503460f94c1d3ed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PRESENTATIONAL MODEPRESENTATIONAL MODE
• Formal, one-way communication to an audience of listeners or readers
• Speaking or writing skills are involved, but usually not negotiation of meaning between presenter and audience.
• Usually this communication occurs in the form of a “formal” presentation. Substantial knowledge of the language is necessary for the speaker and the audience so that accurate interpretation can take place.
