Revision Micro-Teaches - CLA

Morning all,

We're coming to the end of our study of CLA and this is a useful time for you all to re-cap what you have learned and then apply this to exam texts, which we've been doing in our bi-weekly assessments (and you'll be doing another next week).

However it's also important for you all to learn from each other, so with that in mind today I am splitting you into 6 groups of 3 (attendance depending) and I am going to assign each group a different element of CLA, and you are going to gather all the info you know about this and present it as a "Micro-Teach" (i.e. a short, self-contained lesson) to the rest of the class on Wednesday.

The key criteria for your Micro-Teach is as follows:

• No more than 10 mins (but longer than 5)
• Everyone in the group must speak 
•  Use a Google Slides document which is shared with everyone in the group, in the event that one of you is absent; everyone must have access to the finished copy, no excuses.
• A handout/worksheet for the rest of the class
• Assessment for learning, so a task related to your conent that the class can do
• A plenary, which is a chance for you to check the understanding of the class (this could be as simple as a re-cap of what you've done, asking questions to the class or even a Kahoot quiz)

The subjects are as follows:

• Stages of Development and their linguistic characteristics
• Nativism
• Social Interactionsim
• Behaviorism 
• Cognitivism
• WUG Test, FIS Phenomenon & FOX-P2

These are always great fun (those in my class last year will remember the Lang & Gender lessons you did which went very well) and this is a great opportunity for you to showcase what you know, and to learn from each other. I will put you into groups once I see who is present/absent.

Enjoy!
