Evaluating the effect of academic literacy intervention programme on the SATAP English scores of first year students at a university in the Eastern Cape Province, South AfricaLudidi, Yolisa Yolande 02 1900 (has links)
The effect of the academic literacy intervention programme on the SATAP English scores was evaluated. This study begins as a longitudinal study in the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology (FSET). 120 subjects from the Electrical, Civil, Building and Mechanical departments in the FSET were randomly selected to serve as an experimental group. The research design employed a quantitative methodology. Data was collected using the Standardised Assessment Tests for Access and Placement (SATAP) English Test. The test was administered to the experimental group as a pre- test and post-test measure at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. The SPSS statistical programme with frequency tables and graphs was utilised to analyse the data obtained. The results indicated that the difference between the pre-test scores and the post-test scores was statistically significant. The post-test scores were significantly higher than the pre-test ones. It was concluded that the academic literacy intervention programme was effective in increasing the SATAP scores and therefore addressed some of the language needs of students. / Language Education Arts and Culture / M.

Předposlechová fáze ve výuce poslechu u dospělého žáka na úrovni A2 - B1. / The Pre-listening Stage in L2 Listening Instruction to A2 - B1 Adult Learners.Ždímalová, Hana January 2014 (has links)
The Pre-listening Stage in L2 Listening Instruction to A2 - B1 Adult Learners By Hana Ždímalová This dissertation deals with listening instruction to adult EFL learners in the Czech Republic and the phenomenon of pre-listening, which is currently under-researched. It examines adult EFL students' perspectives and perceptions of listening instruction and of the inclusion of different pre-listening techniques, particularly at CEFR A2-B1 proficiency levels. The theoretical part of the study focuses on current developments in listening research and the historical context of the development of listening instruction in classical FLT methodology. The pre-listening stage has been integral to L2 listening instruction since the beginning of Communicative Language Teaching. However, some controversial issues have recently been raised. For example, teachers are sometimes suspected of spending too much time on the pre- listening stage (Field 2002; 2008) and the overall usefulness of previewed comprehension questions in testing listening has been challenged (Sherman 1997). Moreover, adult students' listening needs and their perceptions of listening instruction have not yet been thoroughly researched (Graham 2006; Graham and Macaro 2008). This study argues that we should ask the students about their perceptions...

Teaching of Arabic to learners in Muslim private schools in South Africa and BotswanaMall, Munira Ahmed 06 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Engish and Afrikaans / Many learners of Arabic in Southern Africa have been unable to achieve communicative competence.
An investigation into a possible link between teaching methodology and Arabic acquisition was
undertaken.
In the literature study, theories of language acquisition and related teaching methodologies and
approaches were scrutinized. A questionnaire was developed to determine current practices in the
teaching of Arabic.
The results of the empirical investigation indicated that grammar-translation is the dominant teaching
method. Majority of the learners are taught in a medium other than Arabic, have inadequate exposure
to Arabic native speakers, are given very little opportunity to communicate in the language and spend
the largest proportion of time translating to and from Arabic.
The educational implications of the findings are discussed, and guidelines regarding methods of
improving the acquisition of all four skills in Arabic are provided, both for teachers at schools and at
tertiary academic institutions. / Meeste leerders van Arabies in Suidelike Afrika bereik nie komrnunikatiewe bevoegdheid in Arabies nie.
'n Ondersoek na 'n moontlike verband tussen die onderrigmetodes wat tans gebruik word en die
verwerwing van Arabies is in hierdie studie ondemeem.
In die literatuuroorsig is 'n aantal taalverwerwingsteoriee en verbandhoudende onderrigmetodologiee
ondersoek. 'n Vraelys is ontwikkel om huidige praktyke met betrekking tot die onderrig van Arabies
te bepaal.
Die resultate van die empiriese ondersoek het aangedui dat die grammatika-vertaalmetode die dominante
onderrigmetode is. Die meerderheid leerders word nie deur middel van Arabies onderrig nie, word nie
voldoende aan Arabiese moedertaalsprekers blootgestel nie, het min of geen geleentheid om in Arabies
te komrnunikeer nie en bestee die meeste van hul tyd aan die vertaling uit en na Arabies.
Die opvoedkundige implikasies van die bevindinge is bespreek en voorstelle vir die verbetering van
onderrigmetodes in Arabies is gemaak vir sowel onderwysers by skole en vir tersiere
onderwysinstellings. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Didactics)

An assessment of student's English vocabulary levels and an exploration of the vocabulary profile of teacher's spoken discourse in an international high schoolCreighton, Graham Robert 10 1900 (has links)
In many international schools where English is the language of learning and teaching there are large percentages of students whose first language is not English. Many of these students may have low vocabulary levels which inhibits their chances of taking full advantage of their education. Low vocabulary levels can be a particular problem for students in mainstream classes where fluent English speaking teachers are using English to teach content areas of Mathematics, Science and History. Not only do students have to comprehend the low-frequency, academic and technical vocabulary pertaining to the subject, but they also need to know the higher frequency vocabulary that makes up general English usage. If students’ vocabulary levels fall too far below the vocabulary levels with which their teachers are speaking, then their chance of comprehending the topic is small, as is their chance of succeeding in their subjects.
This study has two broad aims. Firstly, I have set out to assess the English vocabulary levels of students at an international school where English is the language of learning and teaching. The majority of students at this school do not have English as their first language. The second aim of this study is to explore the vocabulary profile of the teachers’ spoken discourse at the research school. By gaining a better understanding of the nature of teacher discourse – specifically the percentage of high, mid and low-frequency vocabulary, as well as academic vocabulary that they use – English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers will be in a stronger position to identify what the vocabulary learning task is and be able to assist students in reaching the vocabulary levels necessary to make sense of their lessons. This study revealed a large gap between the generally low vocabulary levels of ESL students and the vocabulary levels spoken by their teachers. As a result the need for explicit vocabulary instruction and learning is shown to be very important in English medium (international) schools, where there are large numbers of students whose first language is not English. / Linguistics and Modern Languages / M.A. (Applied Linguistics)

Agir enseignant et « naturel » didactique en situation hétéroglotte : études d'interactions verbales en classe de FLE dans les universités russes : le cas des cours de deuxième et troisième années de l’université pédagogique de Vologda / Teaching action and « natural didactics » in a foreign language context : a study of verbal interaction in a FLE class in the Russian university : the case of the second and third year course at the teaching university of VologdaZlakomanova, Ludmila 17 June 2009 (has links)
Notre projet de recherche porte sur l’enseignement/apprentissage de l’oral en FLE aux étudiants russes de deuxième – et en partie de troisième - année de la faculté de langues de l’université pédagogique. Nous sommes notamment centrés sur l’agir de l’enseignant, celui-ci étant la figure clé assurant la progression du processus de l’apprentissage organisé dans une situation exolingue, en milieu hétéroglotte. Son rôle est plurifonctionnel, ses manifestations sont variables. Les polylogues pédagogiques se trouvent au cœur de nos analyses, dont le but est d’optimiser le processus d’enseignement/apprentissage par l’intermédiaire des modifications de l’agir de l’enseignant en y appliquant notre thèse du « naturel didactique » censée créer des conditions d’expression naturelles dans une situation didactique en motivant ainsi la parole des apprenants, d’une part, et en diminuant la dissymétrie des relations enseignant-apprenants, d’autre part.Les analyses quantitatives ont permis de dégager les particularités discursives des interactions verbales en groupe de FLE de l’université pédagogique russe, notamment la manière spécifique d’agir de l’enseignant. Les éléments dégagés de cette observation permettent d’ouvrir une réflexion sur la pédagogie à concevoir en contexte de la Russie. / Our research project is concerned with the teaching/apprentiship of oral French in the « French as a Foreign Language » (FLE) program for Russian students in the second and, in part, third years in the Faculty of Languages of the teaching university of Vologda. We concentrated in particular on the action of the teacher, since the teacher is the key actor who ensures progress in the learning process in a situation using a non-native language in a foreign language context. The teacher assumes multiple functions with varying manifestations. Pedagogical polylogues are at the heart of our analyses. They aim to optimize the process of teaching/learning by modifying the action of the teacher via the application of our hypothesis of « natural didactics ». This method favors the creation of conditions allowing natural expression in a didactic situation by motivating the learners to speak on the one hand, and by reducing the asymmetry of the teacher-student relation on the other. Quantitative analyses allowed us to isolate particular aspects of verbal interaction in a FLE group within the Russian teaching university and in particular the specific action of the teacher. The results of these observations open up the possibility of a study of pedagogical methods appropriate for use in Russia.

Cambios dialectales e idiosincrasias en la enseñanza del segundo idioma a estudiantes minoritarios a través de la poesía AfrocubanaFleming, Alicia Ann-Marie 09 January 2013 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Cotidianamente los profesores se hacen esta pregunta: ¿cómo pueden relacionarse mis estudiantes con la lección? Saben que si los estudiantes pudieran acoplarse con el contenido de la lección, entenderían y aprenderían con gran eficacia. En la mayoría de los distritos escolares urbanos de Indianapolis, Estados Unidos hay muchos estudiantes afroamericanos que están en clases de lengua extranjera que piensan que no existen atributos de conexión --como tradiciones y costumbres-- que tienen aspectos en común con sus propias culturas. Por otro lado, hay estudiantes afrolatinos que son nativos de esas lenguas pero a quienes no se les expone a elementos que pertenecen a su cultura o herencia. Esta investigación se enfocará en cómo los profesores pueden utilizar la poesía para enseñar una lengua extranjera; específicamente, cómo se puede utilizar la poesía afrocubana para vincular la lección a los estudiantes minoritarios y su cultura.
