Hello Eva!
I have two questions related to the first task.
I’ve just done it and i don’t know if we have to change the name of the doc, i mean, i
dowloaded the task and i’ve done it in the same document, but i would like to know if you want me
to change the name of the document in order to help you to identify my task to the others.
The other question is if i have to change the extension or i leave it as a .doc. I understood from Elena
presentation that we have to follow the instruction carefully but i dont see anywhere specifications about
that. I can suppose if its a .doc you want me to leave it as a .doc, but i want to be sure.
Thank you very much,
Brbara

Please, do not stress out. The first class will be on Friday, I have been confirmed today.
Fortunately, the first task isnt long. I know you have plenty of other tasks and things to do, I would
recommend to do other things first since you would only need to plan 2 hours maximum for this first task.

Tema: A variety of bilingualsPublicado: 26/11/2016 11:35:07 #44
Yesterday in class I mentioned that there are many different types of bilingualism. I also typed in the chat
the name of a book where you can find many definitions.
However, I said that I would also post it in the forum for everybody to see, just in case you want to have a
look at them.
Finally, I decided not to include it on the presentation to avoid confusion. This is NOT compulsory, it is
only an additional book that you can use for research if you want to continue investigating about this topic.

Formative: it is similar to the summative purpose, but this one is more ad hoc because it helps us to identify

I would appreciate if you could write your tutor about this. When I checked your assignments, the CEFR

Honestly, I do not know why your file wasn’t there if you uploaded it on time :(
Please, let me know what your tutor says. Thank you

Hi Eva! Could you explain me pull-out or withdrawal classes concepts, within this sentence: Students may
receive pull-out or withdrawal classes. I don’t understand them. Can you translate or explain them,
please? Thank you in advance. M Dolores Muoz
Sure Dolores!
It is a weak form of bilingualism (submersion). Pull-out or withdrawal classes mean that some students are
separated from the big group (mainstream) to take support lessons in the L2.
In Spain we call them ’compensatoria’; It is the language support class where students from
minority groups learn the target language (majority language).
I hope this helped, please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Kind regards,
Eva

Hi Eva,
I am working on the Language Disorder Task and Im struggling a bit with the references. I have two
questions about it:
1) I have 5 websites I consulted, but they all are a conglomerate of writers, so for example the Mayo Clinic
or wikipedia, which do not list anyone as the author of their informational page. So, should I go ahead and
just list the websites on my reference list? Or how can I list them, if there is no name to have as the author of
the source?
2) A separate issue is how to present the reference in the writing. So, I read about the two disorders in two
sites each, and I made a summary of what I found. So there is no direct quote that I took from either site, but
the main ideas are from those two sites. How do I demonstrate that I read the information and then wrote my
own summary?
Thanks so much!

Dear M Dolores,
Remember that all languages share a common underlying system and all human beings inherit a set of
principles that allow children to acquire mother tongue and other languages? This UG make that as human
beings we learn languages without being taught (as babies). Therefore, The appearance of language is not a
conscious process means that either you want or not, if you are surrounded by language (interaction)
eventually, you will gain that language unaware (unconsciously).

Tema: Use of textbooksPublicado: 09/01/2017 22:14:19 #130
Hi Eva and colleagues,
Further to our discussion in class today, I would like to ask advice and opinions about the use of textbooks
in the classroom, particularly English teaching. I know they are needed in content classes but in English
teaching their use tends to be frowned upon these days. I have worked in two bilingual schools and both do
not allow them. I was told that teachers would just follow the text and do nothing else in class. In short, I
guess they thought it made teachers lazy and students bored. Of course I know this happens, but to me a
well written textbook is better than teachers being expected to come up with their own materials. I have
seen teachers give great dynamic classes with all sorts of materials but I also see that in some cases, such
classes tend to lack continuity. Furthermore, I think at least a workbook is a must. I have seen a myriad of
great grammar exercises being done in classrooms but then anyone else can be doing those same exercises
in any grade they feel it is appropriate. These loose papers are sometimes tossed by students or end up in a
pile of folded papers in in a notebook pocket. Students then can’t review their work nor study for
tests.
I would very much like to know what your experience is with textbooks in the English classroom.
Thanks!

You dont have to write much (use a table format with bullet points). However, if you needed an extra page

Dear Lana,
Thank you very much for using this space to share your comments about using textbooks with the whole
group. In addition to you comments, I have also had some students who were too stressed when they could
not rely on textbooks since they felt that without a book, they werent doing right. Basically, they needed to
know what was coming next. Has this happened to you?
On the other hand, since Ive been working in bilingual schools, I have also found out that the way English
is taught, is completely different to the way content-subjects are taught. Most English textbooks follow a
syllabus based on grammar while grammar in content-subjects follow a more natural path. For instance,
when we have to teach about materials we probably need to teach the structure It is made of... ... but what
if they have not worked the past yet? Dont you think that the way we teach English should be more focused
on a literacy approach?
Obviously we all are language teachers regardless the subject we teach, right?
Other ideas to help you engage in conversation ;)

they could not rely on textbooks since they felt that without a book, they werent doing right. Basically,
they needed to know what was coming next. Has this happened to you?On the other hand, since Ive been
working in bilingual schools, I have also found out that the way English is taught, is completely different
to the way content-subjects are taught. Most English textbooks follow a syllabus based on grammar while
grammar in content-subjects follow a more natural path. For instance, when we have to teach about
materials we probably need to teach the structure It is made of... ... but what if they have not worked the
past yet? Dont you think that the way we teach English should be more focused on a literacy
approach?Obviously we all are language teachers regardless the subject we teach, right?Other ideas to help
you engage in conversation ;)Eva
Hi Eva!
Thank you for the response. I have invited my colleagues to chat but we have soooo many upcoming tasks!
Not sure how many of us will be contributing here.
Yes, I have had students who have commented that they wanted a text because it helped them to have
everything in one place which makes revision easier. As you commented, they also liked to know what was
coming next. However, I have also had groups that hated textbooks because they were too monotonous and
they felt if they had to do every exercise it was boring. Teens can be fickle though and I just had a group
complain that they hated doing all the exercises in their IELTS textbook (the only course where we got to
use a textbook) and when we stopped doing everything and started supplementing, they complained that
they bought the books for nothing!
I have only used textbooks for teaching English in an institute not at school and they were the usual ESL
ones like English File and Headway. I have seen some series for teens though with lots of project work (I
can’t remember the names now) which I found interesting for high school use. But yes, I can see that
many English texts are grammar based. When you say literacy approach (Sorry, if this is something I was
supposed to have come across on reading!) would that be something like the Whole Language Approach? I
used to teach English like this. It was great to use literature, respond to it with journals and other projects
and do the writing process. Students learned to use the language more naturally but we did find that
accuracy still suffered and wanted a text which I guess would be the same grammar based ones
you’re referring to (which were prohibited).
Speaking of accuracy, I have read that a problem with many students graduating from bilingual high schools
is production and I have seen this in the two schools I have worked at. I can only speak for my students
when I say that I would have loved to use a textbook for grammar, be it themed like ESL books mentioned
before or based on writing, just to see if their accuracy improved.
That’s all for now! I’ll keep thinking!!

Hi Eva!
I wish you an Excellent New Year 2017. I was wondering if you could give us a guideline to study the
subject for March examinations. I found that the referred material is really interesting, but extensive, and I
would like to put into your consideration the possibility of providing us a kind of guide of concrete topics or
referential doc to help us study.

Hi Viviana,
In the online lessons I try to give you a more concrete idea on the topics that is worth studying. Last 16th of
December we had a revision lesson where I highlighted the most important aspects from units 1-4. Ill do
the same for units 5-8 in a couple/3 weeks. Have a look at the PPT I uploaded for that session and there you

Tema: Task: Comparative table about language teaching me...Publicado: 13/01/2017 13:49:27 #137
Hello Eva!
I would like to ask you how many approaches and methods do we have to study?
As you said in the class, the more approaches we use in the task, the better it will be later for studying.
But I want to check if the the followings are all approaches: Oral, audiolingual, TPR, Silent Way,
Suggestopia, natural, community language learning, CBI and Task-based instruction.
Could you confirm me if they are all of them or there are more, and if we only have to study some of them,
not all?
Thanks
Best regards

Dear Patricia,
Yes, the approaches that you mention (plus CLIL) are the ones that we are going to talk about during the
next sessions. Even though I will always try to give you some hints during lessons/review (about whats
more important to study), yes, those are the topics that you have to study.
The comparative table you have to do for task 4 can help you study all of them in an easier way.
Nevertheless, as compulsory, you only have to submit 2 approaches that are not in the same unit.
Being honest, your exam is not prepared yet, but I will probably ask about these approaches in the test or
open questions as they make 3 topics out of the 12 you have to study for this module.

Eva

Hi Eva,
I am about to start doing my task for this Unit 6. In Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching by Jack
C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers that we had to read for unit 6, a few pages were about earlier methods
for language teaching, but we should not include these in the task as in the objectives it says it is about the
methodologies emerged during the twentieth century, is that right? We would need to focus, of course, on
the Situational and Audiolingual approaches, but I see you mention that we have to mention at least 2 that
are not in the same unit? What does that mean? We have not seen approaches until this very unit, right? I
know that in the text by Richards and Rodgers they mention other approaches emerged in the last century
such as the Natural Approach or the Silent Way. Is that what you mean? Where do we get the information
about those approaches then, Internet or is there any content in the unit? I am sorry, I am just a bit lost with

UNIT. This is what we decided the last virtual session with the group. Thank you, Eva
Hello Eva,
I’m doing the task 4 about the comparative table and I have decided to compare all the language
teaching methods that appear in units 6, 7 and 8 because it will be very useful for me in order to study.
They are: Oral approach, Audiolingual approach, Total Physical Response, Silent way, Suggestopedia,
Content-based instruction, Task-based instruction and CLIL. Am I right?
However, it is quite difficult to do it in just 2 pages because, in fact, each approach is in 1 page. Therefore,
the 2 pages become in 8 pages.
So... I would like to ask you if I can send you the activity with the 8 pages. If you think it is too much,
don’t worry! I can send you the comparative table comparing only two approaches.
In any case, I will do it of all the approaches because, as I have said before, it will be really useful for me.
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Renata, You dont have to write much (use a table format with bullet points). However, if you needed

Hi Eva,
I agree with Renata. I also need more than one extra page if I want to do it properly. I have done one

Dear Dalia,
Youre absolutely right and I apologize for the confusion. Since you guys have had so many questions about
this task, I have been changing my mind since last virtual class. During the class, I tried to reach an
agreement with the students who attended on how many approaches you should compare. Some of them told
me they would do more than two approaches (the objectives of the task actually ask you to compare them
all), so I thought that it wouldnt be fair to give the same grades for those students going the extra mile for
this assignment. However, I have been in your shoes and I know how busy you must be with all tasks, and
exams to come. Thus, I wrote a post in the forum saying that you should compare two approaches that are
not in the same unit. This way, I would save you some time even though I believe this is a good studying
tool. I wrote the following #140
Hi all,
For the people who have uploaded task 4 during Christmas break or before our last session (unit 6):
UNIT.
This is what we decided the last virtual session with the group.
Thank you,
Eva
So, Ive been thinking that the score could be as follows (if all items are correct) since there are 8
approaches in total:
- If you send 2 approaches, I will give you a full 7
- If you send three-score of 7.5
- If you send 4 - score of 8
- If you send 5- score of 8.5
- If you send 6 - score of 9
- If you send 7 - 9.5
- If you send all 8 approaches - 10
This way I can be fair to all instructions given.
So sorry about the confusion again!

of them told me they would do more than two approaches (the objectives of the task actually ask you to
compare them all), so I thought that it wouldnt be fair to give the same grades for those students going
the extra mile for this assignment. However, I have been in your shoes and I know how busy you must be
with all tasks, and exams to come. Thus, I wrote a post in the forum saying that you should compare two
approaches that are not in the same unit. This way, I would save you some time even though I believe this
is a good studying tool. I wrote the following #140 Hi all, For the people who have uploaded task 4 during
Christmas break or before our last session (unit 6): **** Please make sure that you have written at least
about 2 approaches that ARE NOT IN THE SAME UNIT. This is what we decided the last virtual session
with the group. Thank you, Eva So, Ive been thinking that the score could be as follows (if all items are
correct) since there are 8 approaches in total: - If you send 2 approaches, I will give you a full 7 - If you
send three-score of 7.5 - If you send 4 - score of 8 - If you send 5- score of 8.5 - If you send 6 - score of 9 -
If you send 7 - 9.5 - If you send all 8 approaches - 10 This way I can be fair to all instructions given. So
sorry about the confusion again! Regards, Eva
Thank you Eva. Now it is more clear.

I also see that the due date has been moved to the 30th. So I will not send it today, but wait till the class on
Unit 8.
Thanks again!

Dear Eva
To be honest, I disagree with your decision on the 6 unit task.
I understand that some classmates think that it is better for us (students) have all the theories together in a
chart. I agree with them but I believe that due dates and assessment criteria are established for some specific
purpose. Two days before the due date the activity must not be changed although the due date has been
extended. Most of us are teachers and know what Im talking about.
Ive managed my time according to the schedule that was set the first dates of the course in order to carry
out all the proposal activities. I am really interested in this Master.
I am going to do the task with the new criteria. Just wanted to express my disagreement.
Yours Sincerely,
Aurora

I have writen to my tutor, Lorena and to Technical Support in case they can help us with this.
I will be very sad if you can’t grade my task since I’ve been working hard on it and I sent it
within the deadline. I hope you can still grade it because it wouldn’t be fair for me. When I first

Dear Aurora,
Your feedback is very much appreciated. I am sorry to read that you disagree with the decision since I have
done my best to help you with this task. As you said, due dates were established before we even started our
lessons. Since I created a bit of a misunderstanding, I extended the due date so everybody would be able to
do the task on time. Our job as teachers (myself included) is to be flexible to what happens in our classes
and groups.
In addition to this, I would appreciate that you read again the objective of the activity since it says very
clear: create a comparative chart that includes at least the context of each approach. This means that from
the very beginning, you were asked to compare all approaches and not only two. Thus, in my opinion,
giving a higher grade to those students comparing all approaches and going the extra mile it is the fairest
thing to do. Thank you for submitting your task with the new criteria.
Kind regards,
Eva

Just a question about the table. In the instructions, you have the usual format of Georgia 11, 1.5 spacing and
justified. Is the spacing and justification necessary? It would make it much easier if it were single spacing -
being a table and all. Justifying the information in the cells just doesn’t look right either!
I’m just filling in the table and will edit as necessary awaiting your response.

Tema: Task Record yourselfPublicado: 01/02/2017 20:15:20 #233

Hello Eva,
If I don’t have the possibility to record myself while I’m teaching because I’m not
working as a teacher at the moment. Can I just fill the table and record myvoice to explain the table or
what can I do?
Thank you so much for your patience with all our doubts :)
Regards,
Gema.
Hi Gema,
I said it during the last virtual class. Could you please have a look at it?
You still have to do a PPT and record your voice over it and complete the table ... :)
Thank you!!!!

No, I would love everyone to do it. However, If you do not have the possibility to record yourself then, yes,
you have to do 3 things: table, PPT and voice.
BUT ONLY if you cannot record yourself in one class.

Yes, You send me the link to dropbox or google drive and then you upload the doc. in the platform (or
include it in your PPT).

Hi Eva,
I am one of the people that can’t record herself in class and I have one more question regarding this
task. I wanted to know if you want the voice on the PPT to be as if I were giving the class to the students,
pretending I have a class in front of me, or to talk about what I would say or do in each part of the
presentation? I mean do I talk to the imaginary students, or do I talk to you?
Thanks,
Dalia

Dear professor,
I’ve read the difference between the content based instruction and CLIL however according to the
class. The main difference is that in the content based instruction the language and content teacher work
together. Did I get that right?
Which means if they don’t work together then it’s considered CLIL?
Thanks for the help.

Tema: Record a video assignmentPublicado: 04/02/2017 1:52:35 #240
Hi Eva,
I have a question please. I seem to have morphed this task! I have a powerpoint explaining the stages of my
lesson and then I am going to edit the video inserting the relevant part into the sections. In total I will have
the minimum 10 minutes that you require. My class when I planned to do the lesson (today, Friday), was
used for a meeting with the principal so I had to change things up which means I need to edit.
Is this ok?
Thanks, have a great weekend!

Hi Beatriz, You can do it as you wish. You can either upload a (BRIEF) document with them or do it in the
recording. Eva
Sorry, I have not clear if it has to be a video or just the voice recorded (as I don’t have real students)
and I don’t know where can I find the chart you showed us during the class.
If you could help me...
Thanks,
Maria

Dear student,
CBI and CLIL share many similarities (they both focus on content). In CBI 'Theme-based model: this model
uses specific themes or topics where the language is subordinated to the general theme. This can be taught
by a single teacher or by two teachers (language + content specialists) and they work all communicative
skills while the module is taught.'
The main difference is their approach:
CBI: two teachers working together, a language teacher and a content teacher
CLIL: requires just a teacher who is able to teach a given subject not in English but through English.
So, your last question its not exactly right :)
I hope I have helped.
Eva

Hello Maria,
The table is in documents (where you download the PDFs from the virtual classes, also in the forum). I can
be both, a video (best option) or in your case (without students) a PPT with your recorded voice explaining
the steps of your lesson.

Eva
