Traces of Teaching Methods in a Language Class and the Relationship between Teachers' Intended Learning Outcomes and Students' Uptake
Mahmoudabadi, Zahra
English Language Teaching, v10 n7 p89-95 2017
This study has two main objectives: first, to find traces of teaching methods in a language class and second, to study the relationship between intended learning outcomes and uptake, which is defined as what students claim to have learned. In order to identify the teaching method, after five sessions of observation, class activities and procedures were compared with typical techniques of previous methods. The findings showed that the teacher's method was an eclectic one which mostly followed [Community Language Teaching] (CLT) guidelines along with utilizing techniques from some other methods such as [Grammar Translation Method] (GTM), [Direct Method] (DM), and [Audiolingual Method] (ALM). In the study of uptake, the students were given uptake charts (for vocabulary and grammar items) at the end of each session and based on their reports of uptaken items, it was concluded that uptake can reflect the intended learning outcomes and instructional procedures to a good extent, specifically for grammar items. Regarding idiosyncrasy of uptake, it was not found to be remarkably idiosyncratic, i.e. there was not much individual variation among learners' reported uptake.
