TASK # 6
GRASIELA IZAGA
PROFA.: VERA MENEZES

YOUR TASK IS:
Describe the design of a prototypical communicative course.
DESIGN
OBJECTIVES - guiding principals
At first we have the general objectives like contextualization, effective communication while learning, linguistic variation in materials and methodology and have fluency and acceptable language as primary goal. Comprehension proceeds production and this production is expected to emerge on stages. Language is acquired through interaction as well as learned from the teacher.
TYPES OF LEARNING AND TEACHING ACTIVITIES
All activities planned should focus the ability to interact and communicate. Dialogs are not memorizes. Drilling may occur, but peripherally. Mother tongue is accepted where feasible. Translations may be used where or when students benefit from it. Sequencing is determined by the consideration of content, function or meaning which maintains interest.
LESSON PLANNING
Should always have in mind that the goal is communication, that vocabulary and expressions need to accomplish communicative intent.
LEARNER ROLES
The learner should search occasions to use the language, practice, discuss with other groups and collect new materials. Students participate at their own level of skill and comprehension.
TEACHER ROLES
The teacher should plan classes, discuss with other teachers and coordinators, select and product materials always having in mind the main objective which is communication. Teachers in this approach have to facilitate students' intake of grammatical features by providing meaningful, contextual representations of the grammar point, which are relevant to students' needs and interests. . It is just as important to show students what they can't do as well as what they ca and that making mistakes is a vital part of the learning process.
ROLE OF ISTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
It is important to provide a clear topic focus throughout any lesson and it doesn't have to be controversial in order to promote interest or discussion. The topics discussed in class are relevant to the students' needs and interests and by doing this the students can engage in the activities.
The starting point of any communication course or scheme is, the learner. It is important to carry out needs of the learners, which are the best way of being able to identify a set of objectives for the course, and this can involve decisions about the choice of coursebook and materials to be used.
INTERACTION PATTERNS AMONG TEACHER AND STUDENT
The relationship between teacher and student must be of confidence to reduce anxiety, shyness, and lack of motivation, lack or cultural identification with the language
RESOURCES IN TERMS OF TIME, SPACE, EQUIPMENT
It is important to have enough space in the classroom and a sound and video equipment as resources of input and also to make classes more interesting.
