Post 132: Well Structured Classroom For WEb or Face to Face

Post 132: Well Structured Classroom for Web or Face to Face




The characteristics of an effective classroom to help maximize language acquisition have been identified as (Enright and McCloskey 1985):
  • Cluttered classrooms, where potential for spontaneity is the key.
  • Teacher in many roles: teacher, participant, facilitator, spectator.
  • Balance between “instruction” and interaction.
  • Use of peer teaching.
  • Materials are from the real world (i.e., paperbacks, newspapers, magazines, bus schedules, etc.).
  • Provide students with many opportunities to do the classroom administrative tasks such as, attendance, lunch count, errands, notes to other teachers, bulletin boards, checking out books, etc.
  • “Curriculum” is organized around events and tasks which students work on together and which incidentally (but not coincidentally) require language.
  • Resources such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, books, schedules, etc., necessary to accomplish tasks are readily available to all students.
  • Visitors are numerous and various; real people come to the class to talk to and work with students.
