Extra Resources for TESOL

• Online Library
  
  

• Questia - for an annual enrolment fee of US120 you have unlimite online access to over 49,500 books and 392,000 journal, magazine, and newspaper articles. The focus is on social sciences. The full text of all books is available for reading or downloading. The collection (in English !) is expanding all the time. For anyone with limited library resources this is a terrific deal. Note: my observation is that the collection of books for language, linguistics and teaching is quite good. The number of journal articles in these fields is less good, at least at present.

• Pedagogical Grammar
  
  

Drills - The generative principle and the problem of learning transfer

"Grammaring" in the ESL Classroom," Diane Larsen-Freeman at http://www.connectlive.com/events/heinle/registered.html - this in an online video where Diane Larsen-Freeman discusses the problem that students often can't use what they have "learned" to make language actively.

Summaries and notes on the role of grammar in language learning at : http://www.freefeel.org/wiki/PedagogicalGrammar- Note : this is a Korean site. Some material is in hangeul script.




• Pronunciation, Intonation & Prosody
  
  

http://www.thormay.net/lxesl/tesol/intonation/intonation1.htm - on this site : a discussion of supra-segmental phonology, plus some scans from W. Stannard-Allen's excellent (out of print) book, Living English Speech.

Transcribing intonation - some examples and links

A good bibliography of printed works on intonation can be found at http://www.ucm.es/info/fing1/entonacion.html

A useful discussion of ideas about intonation and prosody can be found in the introduction to a book called Prosody and Spoken Discourse (author unknown) at http://www.oup.com/pdf/0195143213_01.pdf

Bilingual vocabulary assessment (includes English/Korean) by the New Zealand Online Learning Centre http://www.tki.org.nz/r/esol/esolonline/classroom/bilingual/home_e.php

Vocabulary sizes of native English speakers and L2 learners (paper by Paul Nation) http://www.tki.org.nz/r/esol/esolonline/classroom/bilingual/home_e.php

Some well laid out scoring guides in ESL are at the Alaska Dept of Education site http://www.educ.state.ak.us/tls/frameworks/wrldlang/wlinstr3.html

"Evaluating Classroom Communication: In Support of Emergent and Authentic Frameworks in Second Language Assessment " at http://pareonline.net/getvn.asp?v=8&n=8 - This is an exploration of the idea that grammar (in fact, any kind of linguistic competence) is not acquired prior to learning a language, but that it "emerges" as the language is used. This has important implications for teaching and assessment.

• Error Patterns by L2 Learners

The scans linked below have been taken from the table of contents of Burt M. K. & C. Kiparsky, The Gooficon - A Repair Manual For English, published in 1972 by Newbury House. The book is unfortunately long out of print and difficult to obtain, but the hierarchy of learner errors illustrated by Burt & Kiparsky is very useful. The table of contents contains many sample L2 sentences, grouped into error types. (The scans linked here are of poor quality, but should be readable. Remember to click the MS Internet Explorer image symbol to get full size).

Gooficon 1 / Gooficon 2 / Gooficon 3 / Gooficon 4 / Gooficon 5 / Gooficon 6 / Gooficon 7 / Gooficon 8 /

• METHODS AND APPROACHES

The following collection is very mixed and preliminary. However it does have links to some less well known methods. Some of this stuff is commercial. Note that the promoters of every method will claim that they have the whole truth. Be cautious ! Sometimes they claim great authority for the inventor (listing PhDs etc). Be cautious ! Sometimes they claim to have made certain theoretical discoveries. Be cautious ! However, if you are careful and questioning, there are probably some very good ideas in these links.
