GRAMMAR INSTRUCTION GUIDELINES

Design a lesson that integrates formal instruction in the context of a whole-language approach, using the PACE model (Adair-Hauck & Donato, cited in Shrum & Glisan (2000), p. 154-157).
 
 PACE Model Stages Purpose and Activities
Presentation Teacher foreshadows grammar explanation through use of integrated discourse (stories, poems, listening texts); emphasis on comprehension and meaning.
Attention Teacher uses multiple passes and recycles story line through pictures, TPR activities, and role playing, increasing comprehension and learner participation.  Emphasis is on meaning.
Co-Construct Explanation Once comprehension is achieved and meaning understood, the teacher turns the learner’s attention to focus on form.  Both the teacher and the learner co-construct the grammar.
Extension Activity Through extension activities, learners need to use grammatical structures to carry out particular functions and tasks.

LISTENING & READING COMPREHENSION - INTERACTIVE MODEL GUIDELINES

Design lessons that include all stages from the following model (Shrum & Glisan, 2000; pp. 135-137):
 
Model II:  Phases Sample Class Activities
Preparation Preview the text
Establish a purpose
Predict meaning
Activate background knowledge
Preview unfamiliar content
Anticipate new vocabulary and text language
Comprehension Skim for gist
Scan for specific information
Interpretation Create a list of main ideas
Match main ideas to key details
….
Application Create a written summary and/or design  presentation
Create follow-up product
Extension Analyze features of two texts and compare content and organization

INTERACTIVE SPEAKING ACTIVITY GUIDELINES

Create an activity to provide speaking interaction among your students (information-gap, paired interview, role-play, imaginative, culture-based, etc.).  Decide what the purpose of the activity is and how it relates to your chapter/unit/course objectives.  Identify functions/contexts, grammar, and/or vocabulary that are integrated.  Include specific instructions and your procedure for grouping students.
 

IV.  CULTURAL INFORMATION

All lessons must be based on a product and/or practice of Costa Rican culture.  The perspective(s) underlying this product and/or practice must be examined in the lesson as well.
 

V.  TECHNOLOGY USED

Indicate what technology will be needed throughout the lesson for successful completion.
