Error Feedback: Skill Acquisition Theory As noted in the previous post on theory in error feedback, the research on expertise and ACT-R Theory suggest that learning a language is similar to learning other activities like chess, music, and math. In this post, we'll look at Skill Acquisition Theory (SAT), which is based upon the work in ACT-R. Robert DeKeyser (2007) has a good overview of Skill Acquisition Theory. According to DeKeyser, Skill Acquisition Theory does not explain all of language learning and apparently is most effective at beginner levels. high-aptitutde adult learners engaged inthe learning of simple structures atfairly early stages of learningin instructional contexts It seems obvious that young children will not respond as well as adults to the use of declarative knowledge as their ability to understand rules and explanations is more limited. As knowledge domains become more advanced, their underlying cognitive structure tends to become more obscure. Thus, with respect to error correction, we need

Läsförståelsestrategier på svenska och engelska Att arbeta med läsförståelsestrategier är inget nytt för svensklärare, men tack vare det utvidgade kollegiet sprids många bra varianter för att förtydliga och synliggöra detta arbete. Som språklärare har jag inte fått någon formell utbildning kring detta, så inspirationen för min del kommer från nätet. Jag har tittat på de jättetydliga filmerna som Susanne Nystedt har gjort, kollat in Josef Sahlins sida, kikat in på En läsande klass och läst Annika Sjödahls tydliga beskrivningar. Det jag har gjort är att jag har gjort sammanfattningar av de olika strategierna med hjälp av canva.com. att förutspå – to predict att ställa frågor – to ask questions inre bilder – inner images att reda ut oklarheter – to clarify att sammanfatta – to summarize
My Most Common Teaching Mistake | Top Notch Teaching I regularly find myself questioning some of my behaviours and actions in my classroom and wonder how I could have handled a situation better. But, you know what….we all make mistakes. Even the best teachers I know make mistakes now and then. The mistake that I can’t seem to stop making is: Not Asking For Help Yep, that’s me all over. I began my teaching career with such enthusiasm and hope. I definitely had a certain amount of self-expectation, and there were expectations placed on me by other teachers, the principal and parents. You know I coped quite well at first, but then when things didn’t go to plan, or fit the picture in my head, or didn’t meet my self-expectation, that’s when it all started to get too hard. I found that teaching can be a pretty isolating profession at times. I think teachers (or maybe it’s just me) are a bit of a proud bunch, maybe we don’t like to ask for help because we don’t want to appear to look like we don’t know what we’re doing.

Welcome to stason.org 1: The Very Different World of Long-Term Illness When you develop a long-term illness, like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or fibromyalgia, you may feel like you have entered a new world in which all the rules of life have changed and there is no obvious way forward. This perplexing situation can make you feel helpless. But there are many things you can do to gain control and improve your well being. This book will show you how to take an active role in managing your illness. We'll start by looking at how long-term illness is different from short-term illness and terminal illness. Perhaps when you first became ill with CFS or fibromyalgia, you thought you had a short-term illness, but one that kept hanging on. Not only does chronic illness impose limits and bring symptoms that persist, it touches many parts of your life. Complicating the challenge, there is an interaction between your illness and other parts of your life. Interactions of illness and other factors The same pattern of reciprocal effects is true for other elements as well.
Fairy Tales Fairy tales, fables, myths and folk tales from around the world. Myths And Folk-Tales Of The Russians, Western Slavs, And Magyars | by Jeremiah Curtin A Few tens of years ago it was all-important to understand and explain the brotherhood and blood-bond of Aryan nations, and their relation to the Semitic race; to discover and set forth the meaning of that which in mental work, historic strivings, and spiritual ideals ties the historic nations to one another. At the present time this work is done, if not completely, at least measurably well, and a new work awaits us, to demonstrate that there is a higher and a mightier bond, - the relationship of created things with one another, and their inseverable connection with That which some men reverence as God, but which other men call the Unknowable, the Unseen. Fairy Tales Of The Slav Peasants And Herdsmen | by Aleksander Borejko Chodzko, Emily J. Serbian Fairy Tales | by Elodie L. "The Bear's Son" and sixteen more Serbian fairy tales
Forget the Resolutions, Create a Vision Board that Works | glad.is With the holiday buzz quietly behind us, are you still forging ahead with the new goals you wanted to implement into 2013, or, like most people, are you already noticing a backslide? It’s the middle of January, and studies show that 80% of our resolutions are now as out of our thoughts as the boxed up Christmas decorations. One of the reasons that resolutions are often sidetracked is that they cause us to focus on what we need to give up, instead of asking for more of what we want. We say toss out those resolutions, and join us in creating a Vision Board for 2013. You have no doubt heard of Vision Boards by now – many celebrities and self-growth experts from Oprah to Maria Shriver advocate their use, and there are numerous books and websites on the subject. What is a Vision Board exactly? A vision board is a tool used to help set intentions. And the importance of a visual, when creating goals, is undeniable. See our guide with step-by-step instruction on creating a Vision Board. Comments
