"The video library excerpts capture the range of foreign language teaching practices shown in the collection. You will see students in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms studying eight different languages. You'll see the students communicating with one another and with their teacher, learning culturally rich content, making connections to other disciplines, comparing cultures, and using the language in real-life contexts."
Shona Whyte's insight:
The Annenberg Foundation has this series of edited classroom videos showing examples of activities taught in second language classrooms with learner and teacher commentaries. For professional development, there are also questions to guide teachers in their analysis of the examples (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian). Delete the scoop?

Four approaches to teaching and learning languages are presented first in terms of general learning and then with respect to language-specific theories. The resource is relevant to undergraduate and graduate students of foreign languages and/or linguistics and may be used in pre- or in-service training of language teachers at all levels (primary, secondary, university). Major figures and key concepts are presented for each theory, and learning activities are proposed throughout, including illustrations from the second language classroom. Comprehension of the material can be checked via quizzes and reflective activities, and a timeline affords a chronological overview of the resource. Delete the scoop?

Or at least this is what communicative and task-based approaches aimed to do to grammar-oriented language classes.

Scott Thornbury says "If task-based teaching is so fundamentally unstable, why not opt, instead, for maximising those features of the classroom ecology that really do have strong and predictable effects, i.e. granting learners some control of the agenda? Where learners have some ownership of, and investment in, their language learning program, the fact that it’s task-based, or text-based, or even grammar-based, is of relatively little consequence."

Shona Whyte:
This looks interesting: AvatarGenerations' Editor built a Serious Game using a platform called ThinkingWorlds to showcase the pedagogies in games and to investigate how teacher attitudes and perceptions changed before and after playing the game. The objective of the game was to provide a tailored contextual experience in a school environment that would have a positive affect on preconceptions, and change negative attitudes towards the role of serious games in the classroom. The game was designed to allow teachers to experience a range of educational activities, each built upon a clear and established pedagogy: Gagné’s (1985) ‘Nine Events of Instruction’, Mayer’s (2002) cognitive theory of multimedia learning, Lave and Wenger’s situational learning theory (Lave and Wenger 1991), Kolb (1984) experiential learning theory and Skinner’s (1954) operant conditioning theory. The game was designed using a role-playing strategy to allow the user to become embodied in a virtual environment and identify with objects and characters. The player assumes the role of a new teacher on the first day of school and the principal “Principal Daily” assigns “Mr. Rooney” (the player) tasks and challenges that he must complete before the day is over. At the end of each level, the player is given information on the pedagogy embedded in the game level and when all tasks are finished, “Principal Daily” requests a short reflective report on the player’s experience.

I just watched a 25 minute demo lesson of the "dogme" or "unplugged" approach by Luke Meddings, my first taste of this new movement in EFL circles. Leaving aside the irony of my access to this lesson (watching streaming video on an iPad from a link shared on Twitter), I am struck by
1. Similarities with 1980s Krashen-style communicative language teaching: a loose, topic-based lesson plan, little focus on form
2. The fact that an IWB in place of a paper flipboard would not have hurt: better visibility for learners, sharing of responses, copying/adapting repeated strings, and saving for review or future classes, a key element of the method (More on that from Graham Stanley http://blog-efl.blogspot.com/2011/07/looking-back-on-2011dogme-elt.html and Meddings http://lukemeddings.posterous.com/passions-and-positions)
3. The suitability of the method for older, more proficient learners and experienced, highly proficient teachers with small class sizes
4. The technical challenges of making classroom recordings and editing such videos - it's hard to get good quality footage without disrupting classroom interaction, and editing out learner-learner interaction makes the lesson look more teacher-centred and teacher-led.
