14.Two Must Read Articles

FET@KU
Forum of English Teacher Educators of Kannur University

Two articles which appeared in  online  version of  The Hindu is worth reading:

The first one by Maya  Thiagarajan is  entitled  ‘Make teachers matter’.  It reminded me of a significant observation made by Diana Oblinger, the President and CEO of EDUCAUSE  in 2012:
Information technology can be a game changer in higher education… information technology enables new models. It can disaggregate and decouple products and processes, allowing the creation of new value propositions, value chains, and enterprises. These new models can help higher education serve new groups of students, in greater numbers, and with better learning outcomes.

Please view Ms. Maya’s  article Online

***********************************************************
In 2013. Frank and Scharff,  proposed Learning Contracts which can impact student behaviours and academic performance in the Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (13(4)36-53.
In a similar vein,  the second article by  Ms. Usha Raman, a faculty of the University of Hyderabad,  speaks about the setting up of a learning contract between the teacher and the learner.

8.MOOC on teaching Grammar

FET@KU Forum of English Teacher Educators of Kannur University Though Grammar is central to the teaching of languages most educators are not very comfortable with the teaching of Grammar…There are teachers who focus on grammar as a   set of forms and rules. Such teachers   teach grammar by explaining the forms and rules and then drill students on them. There are   also language teachers who assume that students will absorb grammar rules as they hear, read, and use the language in communication activities.   The Communicative Competence model   of teaching Grammar recognizes that overt grammar instruction helps students acquire the language more efficiently, but it incorporates grammar teaching and learning into the larger context of teaching students to use the language.
