Smart Dolphin Zone - 2
Smart Dolphin Zone 2Is a Primary School Book for Spanish speakers that intend to develop communicative skills in english.All the series is aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference For Young Learners (CEFR YL), Book 2: A1.1 and A1.2Content: 30 Units, 150 lessonsMETHODOLOGIESVocabulary LearningVocabulary learning is central to language acquisition. Specialists emphasize the need for a systematic and principled approach of vocabulary by the teacher and the learner. Teaching techniques and activities state that new words should not be learned by simple rote memorization.It is important that new vocabulary items be presented in contexts rich enough to provide clues to meaning and that students be given multiple exposure to items they should learn.Communicative Language LearningLearning to communicate through interaction in the target language is the principal characteristic of the Communicative Language Teaching approach.The Theory of Language Learning states that: - Language is a tool for communication- Students learn a language by using it to communicateIntegrated Skills ApproachThe four basic skills in language teaching are: listening, speaking, reading, writing.When we acquire a second language in a natural way the skills appear in that same order. But why should we integrate the four skills when teaching the second language? If we are focused on teaching a realistic communication competence, the four skills must be developed in an integrated way. Integrating the skills allows us to use more variety in the lessons because the range of activities will be ampler.Spiral LearningLearning should work like a game in a spiral, that gets a child interested while repeating and gradually increasing difficulty. It also gives students challenging activities and at the same time adds new skills.The steps to achieve Spiral Learning are: - Introduce new language. Move forward.- Recap the important language learned so far.- Add more language.- Recap selected language: recent and earlier.- Repeat the process.Topic Based ApproachTopic based approach is student-centered. It helps with students' attention span. It will hold students' interest from the start to the end of the lesson.This book corresponds to levels 3 and 4 of My English Zone Platform from UnilX Education.

Evaluating Second Language Vocabulary and Grammar Instruction
Providing a much-needed critical synthesis of research on teaching vocabulary and grammar to students of a second or foreign language, this book puts the research into perspective in order to distil recommendations for language teaching. Boers evaluates a comprehensive range of both well-established and lesser-known research strands and classroom practices to draw out the most effective instructional approaches to teaching words, multiword expressions and grammar patterns. Chapters discuss learning as a by-product of communicative activities, language-focused instruction, diverse types of exercises, mnemonic techniques and more, with a view to building bridges between the available research on such instructional approaches and how they are commonly implemented in actual language courses and textbooks. This book helps teachers make research-informed decisions regarding their instructional approaches to words, phrases and patterns, and direct researchers to specific areas in need of further inquiry. Boers not only demonstrates how research findings can inform effective teaching, but also calls for a deeper appreciation on the part of researchers of the realities of the teaching profession, making this a worthwhile text for preservice teachers, teacher educators, graduate students and scholars.
