Homework 3

Due: 10/10/2024

Task

  • Pick a particular structure in your target language and design a mini lesson plan focusing on one grammatical structure in your target language..

Requirements

  • Include a brief description of the processing problem with that particular structure, i.e., what are the potential problems for learners to acquire the structure. For example, when learning noun plural forms in English, the -s suffix is likely dropped or used in wrong form.
  • Your plan will include a couple of structured input and output activities.
  • For each of the activities, explain the designing rationale, i.e., describe what kind of activity it is (c.f. p159, p160, and p175) and which (of VanPatten's) guidelines are followed (c.f., p154 and p173).
  • In your lesson plan, don't forget to specify the activity time (duration) and learning objectives.

Note

  • You don't need to use the ACTFL lesson plan template. It is sufficient if your lesson plan addresses all the points listed above.
