GROUP THREE: LITERACY/ASSESSMENT/MODELS Chооse аnd respоnd to ONE question. Q7. Foreign/World Lаnguаge Education: Describe two (2) models of immersion education that are operationalized in the U.S. and/or around the world. Discuss the positive and negative aspects of these models. Describe the model that you most likely would use or adapt in your classroom. Provide a rationale for your choice. OR Q8. Literacy: Research shows that L1 literacy plays a role in L2 literacy. Explain why teachers should consider L1 literacy in planning instruction for all students. Provide an example of how reading or writing instruction in English is different for a student with little to no L1 literacy skills and an example for a student with well-developed L1 literacy skills. OR Q9. Assessment and Evaluation: Choose a teaching context (e.g., young learners in China, adult ESL in the US, middle schoolers in Eastern Europe, high school Spanish in the U.S.). Create two (2) items (e.g., tasks, questions, prompts) to assess the students in your chosen context. For each item, describe the language skills (construct) you are assessing and provide a rationale for why you are assessing that construct in your chosen teaching context. Describe how you might interpret different student answers and how each item could be used for summative or formative purposes.
GROUP 1: THEORIES/METHODS/TRENDS in SECOND/WORLD LANGUAGE EDUCATION Chооse аnd respоnd to ONE question. Q1. Second Lаnguаge Acquisition: Describe three (3) researchers/theorists of second language acquisition and their respective SLA theory. Explain how each theory/theorist contributed to our modern understanding of language acquisition. For one of the theories you described, provide an adaption, modification, or other improvement that would benefit your future teaching. Provide a rationale for your adaptation and its classroom application. OR Q2. Foreign/World/Second Language Methods: Choose a context in which you might teach in the future (e.g., young learners in China, adult ESL in the US, middle schoolers in Eastern Europe, high school Spanish in the U.S.). Name three (3) foreign/second language methods that would be appropriately used in your chosen context. For each method, describe how to enact the method, how it is consistent (or not) with theories of second language acquisition. Describe how you might modify or adapt each method for the context and why it would be an appropriate method for your chosen context. OR Q3. Current Trends in Foreign/World/Second Language Education: In your program, you either reviewed several professional journal articles in the field of foreign/world/second language education, such as Applied Linguistics, Foreign Language Annals, and the Modern Language Journal OR your textbooks provided in-depth information regarding trends (i.e., AI, translanguaging, social media, etc.) in language education. Explain three (3) “current trends” in the field and describe the importance of each trend. In your response, evaluate these trends in terms of their merit (good or bad) and their implications for language teaching and learning. For at least one (1) trend, propose an alternative or modification to the trend and provide a rationale for this alternative or modification.
