UNIT 27

Using Language appropriately for a range of classroom functions

 As we know teachers have a great responsibility to use the language appropriately for classroom function. The purpose of these functions is to explain and give instruction in English without explaining it, like for example; open your books, listen to me, repeat after me, and some others. Also, we have to take into account the different exponents because it depends on the learning context and the learners needs.

      It is important to mention that the teacher models should give clear examples of the target language. For example, when we model language orally, that we say only what we want learners to repeat. Furthermore, prompting is another important thing which help learner think of ideas or remember a word or phrase or what to do.

     I consider that the range of exponents that teacher choose all depend on the context, age, level of the students and teacher have to know which one is the most appropriate to use in the classroom. Furthermore, to apply all that I say above is important to provide the tools according to the students’ needs and manage the classroom effectively to make students to use the language functions successfully.
