Use of target language
Monologic vs dialogic discourse
• Monologic discourse: IRE pattern
(Nystrand 1997)
 Teacher asks question: initiates
 Student responds
 Teacher provides evaluation
• Dialogic discourse (Dyste 1993)
 Teacher asks authentic questions
 Teacher realises Uptake: he uses the answers
pupils give him to further the discussion
 Teacher realises high level evaluation: the feedback the
teacher gives leads to deeper learning

The importance of prior knowledge
• John was on his way to school last Friday
• He was really worried about his maths
lesson
• Last week he was unable to control the
class
• It was unfair of the math teacher to leave
him in charge
• After all, it is not normally part of a janitor’s
duties.

Task 2: making good use of our pupil’s
brains?
Look at the following task
Write a biography for your favourite popstar. You may find the
information you need in an encyclopedia, a magazine or on the
internet.
Adapt the task to
• make it more meaningful
• Include a prewriting task
• Make sure “repetition” takes place (Westhoff’s
pinball machine)

Reflection
“You cannot change what you cannot acknowledge” Dr Phil Mc Graw
Het is belangrijk om…
•
•
aan te sluiten bij voorkennis en ervaring;
kennis in grotere gehelen aan te bieden;
 lerenden te laten reflecteren
