| Title | Using FLTEACH in Methods class |
| Body | One FLTEACH member asked about using FLTEACH as a tool to teach a course in Second Language Methodology. Here are some of the responses: I have previously given my Methods Class students a pre-selected list of topics concerning major movements or discussions in language education. Some examples off the top of my head are TPR/TPRS, exclusive use of the Target language, explicit teaching of grammar, etc. They must choose one topic, research the archives, and come up with a summary of the discussions and their own personal viewpoint. I have them choose their topic in advance to avoid repetition. I've never had two students choose the same topic as we have small classes also. Smith, N. Re: Using FL Teach in Methods class. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (9 Sep. 2004). I have required my students in a Middlebury College Winter term course for prospective language teachers to subscribe to the list. One of the assignments which was most useful and interesting projects was that I had them post a question which related to the Units they were preparing as final projects...they were gratified and amazed at the quality, quantity and usefulness of the responses... Librandi, N. Re: Using FL Teach in Methods class. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (9 Sep. 2004). When I first joined FLTEACH, I found the FAQ section remarkable. That was years ago. The information stored there is still great and worth reading, but I think this section has not been updated in years--correct me if I'm wrong. It's still great information, but there's so much more in the archives! ...Maybe some methods teacher could figure out a way to reasonably assign this and help everyone out We need new, major threads as well as additions to "old" topics. McDonald, N. FLTEACH FAQs. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (9 Sep. 2004). My students at SUNY Geneseo are assigned to join the listserv. They are to follow several threads of interest and prepare a two page summary of the discussion of one thread which they followed. The FLTEACH website is also given as a reference for several projects and an archive search is suggested as a source of information for an assignment on various acronyms and trends....(TPR-S, etc.) Heller, B.
