The calla model

View more documents from camiss20

The CALLA model has language activities in which the students practice  vocabulary and grammar. This model has different objectives and the students will be able to develop that goals.

Metacognition

How to foster Metacognition?

Showing the objectives to the students at the beginning of the class.

Activating the previous knowledge of the students.

Checking their understanding.

Evaluating their understanding through a task.

Using the correct strategy to teach and make tasks.

Self evaluation.

Students have to know their knowledge.

1) In your own words, what is “automaticity”?

Automaticity is when we can do something without occupying our mind. If we do something repeatedly it will become in an automatic response habit.

2) How do we develop automaticity?

We can develop automaticity when we learn something and we repeat and practice it.

3) Create an example of how teachers can change the amount of “extraneous cognitive load” on an assignment?

Teachers can change that load creating a new routine in which the students know what they have to focus on in a class. Of this form they would be concentrated in the same routine which will be carefully prepared.

4) When have you felt that you had a “full cognitive load?”

When I have had a complete knowledge about something because I’m sure that I can teach what I have learned, and I know that knowledge is enough.

Reflection

In our point of view, the Global English book it is a very organized book respect to the topics and skills. During our evaluation, we found that the book have interactive activities, easy to work for the students and also for the teacher. However, this book does not have phonetics. This is a problem because the students will not know how to pronounce a word. Another problem that we  found was the lack of sentence structure (explanations) and finally, for listening activities the teacher have to search some audios or videos because the book has not any CD.

In other words, this book is a good tool for a language teaching, however the topics where does not exist depends on the teacher, but  think that this is not a big problem and it is easy to solve.
