Full transcript
- 0:06Hello welcome to the first lecture on genre-based pedagogy in CLIL. My name is Angel Lin, now I’m
- 0:18teaching in the Faculty of Education in Canada, Simon Fraser university. Before that I was in Hong
- 0:26Kong and Faculty of Education for many many years, where I started the MEd CLIL Program and this
- 0:37was me and my colleagues together we built up the MEd CLIL Program, which was the first of its kind
- 0:47in Asia. But right now I’m teaching in Simon Fraser university
- 0:54as a professor and Canada research chair. This is my university in Burnaby. I moved here in 2018
- 1:03January. Actually this is the Pacific Ocean, and my flight is just about 11 hours to Taiwan. So if
- 1:13you go to the seaside and you can actually wave to me. I’m in mountaintop finally.
- 1:21Today my topic is how to use genre-based pedagogy to design a lesson in CLIL.
- 1:31The best way to do it is to experience it, to experience a unit, a lesson using genre-based
- 1:40pedagogy approach. So the first one, the first part I will engage you as a role play,
- 1:48role-playing my students. I will walk you through a unit, a lesson of work
- 1:55using a genre-based approach. And part two will be led by your facilitator in the workshop to debrief
- 2:04and to discuss the design principles of this unit of work using genre-based pedagogy approach.
- 2:15So procedural texts in everyday life, the fun of procedural texts in everyday life.
- 2:24The demo teaching is a genre-based unit, now what is a genre? A genre is
- 2:31in Taiwanese or in Chinese, it's called 語體,文章的語體
- 2:39這個文章可以是spoken text, or written text, or multimedia text,
- 2:43and different text types you can call genre, you can say genre is a text type,語體,文章的體裁
- 2:52And this demo unit today I’m going through is called procedural text. It's a kind of
- 2:58text type which gives people advice or a list of procedures to do something or a list of steps,
- 3:09so here we go are the learning outcomes. You will notice that it's both language outcomes,
- 3:16this is reading and writing, they will be able to read and write
- 3:21a procedural text, create a procedural text following the organization,
- 3:27and the linguistic features, the patterns and they also apply this text to academic subjects,
- 3:36like giving instructions in science or in math. Okay, so are you ready for
- 3:46role playing my students? Now you are my 國中學生 I’m your 國中老師.
- 3:54And today we are going to use Astrospeak, this is a pop cultural topic, a pop cultural content
- 4:04to experience the reading and writing of the text type procedural text. So what is this?
- 4:15I’m sure you have, you have read these before it's actually taken from a Taiwanese paper.
- 4:23Which star do you have? This is my star, Leo. Is your star Cancer, or Gemini, or Capricorn?
- 4:34So find out from your neighbor, okay. Everyone talks to your neighbors,
- 4:41talks to at least three of your neighbors and find out about their astrological star okay?
- 4:54So caution, a word of caution, it's just for fun okay. Don't take them too
- 5:01seriously and today we are just trying out this genre, called procedural text
- 5:08in order for you to be able to write and create this fun text for your classmates, okay. We don't
- 5:18want you to become a super specious person okay. It's just picking it for fun, doing it for fun.
- 5:28So if we have more time, we can go through this memory game. You will walk around the classroom
- 5:36and memorize the stars of your ten friends, ten classmates okay. You walk around and you
- 5:46write down the stars of your ten friends, and then report back in English okay, in English.
- 5:58So you need to learn to pronounce and speak the name of the star,
- 6:03and also spell the name of the star okay. We'll be doing a competition. See which classmate can
- 6:14remember the star signs of as many friends as you can.Now look at your activity handout.
- 6:26We will find, we will read
- 6:32a horoscope text. First we'll read it, later you will create it. You will design
- 6:39a horoscope text for fun, to create it for your friends okay. So if you were born in this period
- 6:48of time, you are an Aries. Let's look at the luck for this person. Relationships take a turn
- 6:56for the worse if you persist in an aggressive manner. Being tactful is a necessity. Now we
- 7:04if we use a genre-based approach, we will analyze this text together with my students that is you.
- 7:14If you want to write a text like this, let's analyze it. The first sentence we could call it
- 7:20a stage one sentence. It's a description, it tells you what will happen to you in the near future,
- 7:28so it's a negative prediction on your relationships. The second sentence,
- 7:34it belongs to the second stage of this text. Not even for this very short text 這個文章很短,
- 7:42but it is very coherent. It has two stages, it's instructions that is giving you
- 7:48advice of what to do and what not to do, giving you a list of instructions. Sometimes it's just
- 7:55one instruction. Here's this one, that is you need to be tactful, be tactful okay.
- 8:03And your lucky color and lucky number, so now you can write an astrological text. You can create
- 8:12many fun text for the different star signs of your friends, and remember to follow these two stage
- 8:20in creating your text. What is the first stage? First stage is to describe what will happen
- 8:28in the near future as a forecast. The second stage, it can be your second sentence,
- 8:36is to give a list of instructions: what to do, what not to do okay. So following
- 8:41these two stages, you can create a fun text from horoscope text for your friends or your family.
- 8:52Now let's look at your own star and then when you create a text, you could,
- 9:04let's look at this verb okay. A friend could turn into an enemy. Business relations could
- 9:10get tricky. You could confuse it with, okay. This could is what we call a modal verb.
- 9:16It expresses likelihood, probability, what is likely to happen, okay. So you could get rich,
- 9:24you can you could get a lot of money okay, you could get a lot of friends.
- 9:32So could is saying that it's likely, that it will happen. It's a very useful
- 9:39verb to use. More examples, here are more examples. And now could you create some fun
- 9:49sentences? Everybody write a fun sentence for your friend okay, so like my friend
- 9:58my friend Jessica could meet a charming guy next week, okay, or I could become fat next week okay,
- 10:17so create one positive sentence and one negative sentence. Okay to describe a possible
- 10:25lucky thing to happen, and then to describe a possible unlucky thing that might happen
- 10:32okay. Everybody writes two sentences, one positive,
- 10:35one negative okay. Using the word, the verb could okay. What could happen okay.So
- 10:47now these are some useful sentence patterns for you to write the first part, description part,
- 11:00and these are the positive and negative sentences that you can use.
- 11:10You can refer back to it in your handout or in the power point now. Now it is your chance to write
- 11:20the stage one description and then
- 11:25okay so what could happen to your friend. And the stage two, stage two remember it's procedural
- 11:35text, is to give procedures or instructions on what to do and what not to do. And usually we use
- 11:44a sentence pattern called imperative. Imperative is instructional sentence. Yes it usually starts
- 11:52with verb okay. Go with the flow. Do not confuse it with romantic love. Throw a party. Plan the
- 12:01weekend holiday. So these are imperative sentences or instructional sentences. You
- 12:08think of more of these different sentences that you can create to give advice for your friends,
- 12:16what to do and what not to do. Okay, so these are more examples: do some sports activities.
- 12:28Do some outdoor activities. Try to be careful. Try to be polite.
- 12:36Try to be careful. Make travel plans. Make cookery plans. Make hiking plans. Make working plans
- 12:49okay. So write three sentences to give advice to your friends what to do what not to do right. So
- 12:59try to be polite or do not become aggressive, do not become too greedy,
- 13:11so these are some of the examples that you can create good advice for your friends.
- 13:19So here's more vocabulary that you can use okay. Careful. Try to be considerate. Try to be kind.
- 13:30Try to be thoughtful. Do not become quarrelsome. Do not become rude. Do not become disturbing.
- 13:43So now we have just finished this very short demo lesson
- 13:48and I’m sure you can do a much better job than me with your students.
- 13:55And this genre-based class today we have tried out this genre of description and procedural text.
- 14:04Then the procedure text is to give advice, or instructions, or a list of procedures,
- 14:11so this procedural text is useful in science and in math, so your workshop facilitator
- 14:20will go through the rest of the activities with you, so that you can learn to create
- 14:28a lesson unit to engage students in reading and creating a procedural text for
- 14:39science, like a laboratory menu, a menu for laboratory safety,
- 14:47okay. So my email address is on my power point. Feel free to email me when you try out
- 14:54genre-based pedagogy. For the time being, keep well, stay well and stay healthy. Bye, ciao, 再見
- 15:15you
