AbstractIn this workshop talk we will look at how English for Academic Purposes (EAP) language skills, competence and confidence can be developed with non-English majors at the university-level in China. The two main approaches we will be looking at are Content-Based Instruction (CBI), which is now also known as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBTL). |

I am here to learnA workshop not a lecture. An exchange. I will tell you what I know about CBI, CLIL, EAP etc. In return, you can teach me about your day-to-day classroom realities Please take a small piece of paper Please do not write your name (anonymous) Please write one key question you have about ELT in your classroom with your students |
| 5 |  |
Tasks and QuestionsTask-Based Language Teaching: TBLT “Practice what you preach” Tasks for you Questions for me Please ask questions during the workshop There will also be time for questions at the end of the workshop A prompt 5pm finish! |

Communicative Competence: CCCompetence: Skills and Abilities Confidence: Thoughts and Feelings Competence and Confidence = CC 1. Low Competence with Low Confidence 2. Low Competence with High Confidence 3. High Competence with Low Confidence 4. High Competence with High Confidence |

CBI and EAP“In a content-based approach, students simultaneously acquire subject matter expertise and greater proficiency in English, the medium of instruction. Additionally, they learn to master skills necessary for academic success.” D. Raphan & J. Moser, 1994 Q: Do you use CBI in your English language classes? |
| 8 |  |
What is CBI“Content-Based Instruction is an approach to language teaching that focuses not on the language itself, but rather on what is being taught through the language; that is, the language becomes the medium through which something new is learned. In the CBI approach the student learns the TL [Target Language] by using it to learn some other new content”. Olenka Bilash |
| 9 |  |
Engagement and Motivation“The theory behind CBI is that when students are engaged with more content, it will promote intrinsic motivation. Students will be able to use more advanced thinking skills when learning new information and will focus less on the structure of the language. This approach is very student-centered as it depends entirely on the students’ ability to use the language”. |
| 10 |  |
Some of the Pros of CBIBritish Council CBI can make learning a language more interesting and motivating. Students can use the language to fulfil a real purpose, which can make students both more independent and confident. CBI is very popular among EAP (English for Academic Purposes) teachers as it helps students to develop valuable study skills such as note taking, summarising and extracting key information from texts. |
| 11 |  |
Some of the Cons of CBIBecause CBI isn't explicitly focused on language learning, some students may feel confused or may even feel that they aren't improving their language skills. Use of too much L1 in group work: A continuum: From All L1/MT to Almost All L2/TL It can be hard to find information sources and texts that lower levels can understand. Some students may copy directly from the source texts they use to get their information. |
| 12 |  |
Using CBI in language classroomsIt is not enough to simply integrate content into the language classroom, it must be done effectively. Stoller (2002) lists eight practices that allow for natural content integration: 1. Extended input, meaningful output, and feedback on language and grasp of content 2. Information gathering, processing, and reporting |
| 13 |  |
Practices 3, 4 & 53. Integrated skills: using reading, writing, speaking and listening in natural classroom activities 4. Task-based activities and project work, enhanced by cooperative learning principles 5. Strategy training: to produce more metacognitively aware strategic learners Q: Which of the above do you use in your English language class? |
| 14 |  |
Practices 6, 7 & 86. Visual support: ie. Images, graphic organizers, language ladders etc. 7. Contextualized grammar instructions 8. Culminating synthesis activities: knowledge is displayed in writing and orally Q: Which of the above do you use in your English language class and why? Q: Which of the above do you not use in your English language class and why not? |
| 15 |  |
Briton’s Five PointsAccording to Brinton et al (1989) 1. Research shows that for successful language learning to occur, “the language syllabus must take into account the uses the learner will make of the target language” That means systematic focusing on those language forms and functions which will best serve the learner in his/her future language use. |
| 16 |  |
Use of English: For WhatWhat will your students use their English for? Where, when, and with whom? LEEP: Learning English for Examination Purposes 2. The use of “informational content which is perceived as relevant by the learner” enhances motivation in language learning and thus promotes learning effectiveness. |
| 17 |  |
Existing Knowledge3. Content-based approaches are built upon the previous experience of the learner, as they “take into account the learner’s existing knowledge of the subject matter” and use pedagogical methods which aim at overall development of cognitive and academic skills, as well as linguistic skills. Critical Thinking Skills Memorization vs Creative Problem-Solving |
| 18 |  |
Context and Correctness4. Content-based approaches provide a larger framework and “context for language” development, in which the focus is not only on fragmented examples of “correct” language forms, but also on “interaction and discourse patterns”. “The right answer” versus “A/one right answer” Plurality of Thought versus Singularity |
| 19 |  |
Comprehensible Input5. SLA (second language acquisition) research suggests that a necessary condition for successful language learning is “comprehensible input” which requires focusing on the meaning rather than the form. The development of good receptive communicative skills is the foundation on which productive skills are based. Stephen Krashen: i + 1 |
| 20 |  |
From Theory to PracticeUsing texts in the classroom Criteria for selection of texts: Recent and Relevant Shorter Clear and Concise Q: What are your students interested in? Q: How do you prefer to spend their time? Q: What do they spent their money on? |

The New Smartwatch“Samsung has entered the newly-emerging smartwatch market by unveiling its multi-function timepiece, the Galaxy Gear. It is a digital watch with a difference. Wearers can make telephone calls, receive emails and take photographs. It can also run dozens of Android apps on its 1.6-inch screen. Users navigate through different screens and functions using swipes”. (7 Sept 2013) |
| 23 |  |
Second half of first para“What's more, it comes in a range of vibrant colours that add a sci-fi feel to its stainless steel body. The device will be on sale from September 25th and comes with a $299 price tag. Samsung beat its main competitor Apple to the market. Industry insiders expect Apple to reveal details of its smartwatch within a week or two”. |
| 24 |  |
First half of second paraAnalysts have had mixed reactions to the Galaxy Gear. Jack Gold of J. Gold Associates suggests the product is overpriced. He said Samsung would need to price it at under $100 to get mass-market appeal. He added: "At $300, that's probably as much as most people will pay for a phone itself." |
| 25 |  |
Second half of second paraIndependent analyst Jeff Kagan said the Gear "is another step into the future" and that Samsung continues to "push the innovation envelope". He predicted it would be as popular as Samsung's smartphones and tablets. A Samsung spokesperson said: "We have created something incredible. You don't need to get your phone out anymore. Gear takes the entirety of your digital world and places it right where you can see.” |

The Driverless Car‘Toyota shows video of driverless car 8 January 2013 “Toyota has released a video of its new driverless car. The real car will be on show at an electronics show in Las Vegas, USA.

Second half of first paraIt can also "see" people and slow down to avoid hitting them. The car can also communicate with other cars that have the same technology. A Toyota spokesperson said: "We're looking at a car that would eliminate crashes. Zero-collisions is our ultimate aim." He added that the car should be used with a driver, but that it can also drive itself. This would be useful if the driver wants to use his or her laptop, or falls asleep. |
