the difficulties of preparing lesson plans? </span></u></i></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Lesson planning produces many valuable benefits:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Here are some problems (and potential problems) that
we noticed: </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">• Aimless
wandering </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">• Failure to
achieve objectives </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">• Needed teaching
materials or equipment not available, and </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">• Poor connection
with preceding or subsequent lessons <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If you don't plan your lesson properly you may fall
into several traps:</span></b></div>
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">Your teaching may wander aimlessly
without ever achieving its objective, and you and your students may never
achieve the objectives of the course. Or you may show up to teach and find that
you didn't bring the necessary materials or equipment. What you teach may not
relate to what you taught earlier and it may not lead to what you will teach
later. </span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In
sum, lack of planning can lead to the following consequences: </span></b><br />
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: navy; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Poor or reduced learning, </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: navy; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Frustration (for both the teacher and the
students), and </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: navy; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">A waste of time, effort and money </span></li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">Schools and classrooms are
dynamic, interactive, social places, where teachers and students communicate,
share information, and challenge each other' s ideas. Teachers guide student
learning by posing problems, encouraging student questions, and offering
opportunities for students to find solutions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">The resources and
interactions in a classroom depend on the curriculum the class is working on
and the beliefs of the teacher and school. </span><span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">There will be times when technology and the Internet make a lot of
sense, and there will be times when technical resources are not needed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">Teachers, as always, should select the
resources they think best suit their objectives.<span style="background: white;">
</span>The Internet basically expands the resources available and decreases the
time and location dependencies that can be limiting factors in schools.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">It offers powerful and varied ways for
students and teachers to interact, manipulate data, and conduct research.<span style="background: white;"> </span>Consider some of the non-Internet resources
that are traditionally available in schools: libraries, video, film strips, and
CDs, to name a few.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">Because of budgetary and physical
restrictions, schools can only have so many of these. There are documents,
artifacts, and books that students in a typical school will never be able to
access. In addition, many schools are working with outdated textbooks and
materials.<span style="background: white;"> </span>But the Net provides access to
an amazing number of constantly updated and expanding resources and an
incredible wealth of information.<span style="background: white;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">Teachers and students have that same
opportunity on the Net today. Students can research information on the Web,
discuss what they find with classmates or, if they're using e-mail, with
students in another class or an expert in the field they are studying, and when
they conclude their research they can publish their work on the Web. (However,
effective use of this interaction and research opportunity depends on expert
teaching. The range of resources and options students have access to on the Net
is staggering. Specific focus and guidance from the teacher is critical.)<span style="background: white;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Internet eliminates the need to be in
the same place at the same time as the person or resource you are interacting
with. There are technical requirements such as a computer with an Internet
connection, but other than that, the world is at your door. The potential to have
all the educational resources you need at home, at school, or anywhere you have
a computer is now there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="color: navy; font-size: 14.0pt;">This is not to say that the interaction and
dynamic of a classroom are going away; rather, they are growing. Away from
school students can ask questions that come to mind by sending e-mail to
friends, teachers, or content experts. They can research materials at various
Web sites and they can submit their work for review from anywhere at any time.
The potential to expand students' learning time is tremendous.</span></div>

</xml><![endif]--><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #003300; font-size: 14.0pt;">Step 1: Create Your
Content</span></b>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your recording setup can be quite
elaborate, even approaching that of a small radio station, or it can be as
simple as an inexpensive headset or microphone bought at your local Radio
Shack. Your investment will vary depending on what type of podcast you plan to
create, and how professional you want it to sound. For most classroom
applications of podcasting, you probably already have all you need to create a decent
podcast.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are three types of podcasts: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: maroon;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>•
Audio Only</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the podcasts listed on iTunes
are audio only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are easy to record
and edit and require a very simple setup in terms of hardware and other
equipment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Audio processing requires
much less power from a computer than video editing does.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In terms of recording equipment, all you need
is a desktop microphone or a headset with a built in microphone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may even get decent results from the
microphone built into your computer if you're using a laptop, but this option
should only be used in a pinch because the built-in microphone will pick up a
lot of ambient sounds including those coming from your computer such as the
hard drive, etc. You can even set up a podcast where you conduct an interview
with someone over the Internet using one of the many instant messaging programs
that support voice chat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A popular
choice for podcasters is Skype, an application that allows you to make computer
to computer phone calls over the Internet (using a protocol called Voice Over
IP). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: maroon;">• Enhanced (with photos and chapter markers)</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: maroon;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>•
Video</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These podcasts are a little more expensive
and difficult to create. Not only do you need a decent video camera to capture
the video, but your computer also needs to be more powerful than with audio
only podcasts. Video files are very large even after they are compressed, so
you will probably have to invest on an external hard drive to store your files
while you work on a video podcast. Video also takes longer to edit than sound. For
editing your video content, you have a few choices. On the PC side, you can use
Windows Movie Maker. This program is included with Windows XP, or you can
download the latest version for free from the Microsoft website. The latest
version of the iPod supports video.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>iPod
compatible videos can be created using the latest versions of Apple's video
editing applications (including QuickTime Pro on Windows). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #003300; font-size: 14.0pt;">Step 2: Put the Content
Online</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a USF student, you have space set
aside on a web server that you can use to host files, including audio and video
files. You can also use a site such as Our Media to host your file. While Our
Media allows you to use a form on a web page to upload your files, the USF blog
requires you to install an SSH program before you can connect. You can download
an SSH program for Windows from the Academic Computing site, which also has
some instructional videos describing the procedure for using SSH to log into
the USF web space. On the Mac, you can use a program called Fugu to connect to
the USF web servers. Fugu works a lot like SSH, providing a drag and drop
interface that shows your hard drive on one side of the screen and your folder
on the server on the other side. You simply drag files from one side to the
other to upload them to the server. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
All videos are
saved as .mov and require the QuickTime Player to view): </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #003300; font-size: 14.0pt;">Step 3: Create a Blog that
Supports Podcasting </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Create a blog that supports podcasting. You
only need to do this if you are not creating your own RSS file. The blog can
create it for you. All faculty and students have free blog accounts already,
courtesy of the fine folks at Academic Computing. You can set yours up by
logging in to blog.usf.edu. Something to keep in mind is that the USF blog is a
public blog. Every time you post something to your USF blog, it is also posted
to Planet USF, a page that has the latest postings to all USF blogs. The USF
blog also only supports .mp3 attachments for podcasts. While this is not a
problem if you are doing an audio only podcast, it means you cannot do an
enhanced podcast, which must be saved. There are many other free blog sites
available on the Internet. A popular one is Blogger, which is owned by the
search company Google. Whatever blog you use, make sure that it supports audio
attachments.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #003300; font-size: 14.0pt;">Step 2: Attach Your
Content to a Blog Post</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Attach the audio or video content to a
blog posting. You'll create a new post and add a link to your audio or video
file in the body. The link is a standard HTML link. If you are using the USF
blog, you must include an absolute address.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The USF blog<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>automatically generates a feed for you. The
feed address is in the format http://NetID.blog.usf.edu/wp-rss2.php, where
NetID is the user name you use to log into Blackboard and other USF sites.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you've done all of that, you are
podcasting. Anyone can subscribe to your podcast by opening up iTunes and selecting
Advanced, Subscribe to Podcast and entering the address of your feed.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The teaching-learning scenario of English in
Bangladesh has assumed a new beginning. Grammar-translation method had been
practiced for a long time in the English Language Teaching context. Since 1998
in the secondary and higher secondary levels grammar-translation method has
been replaced by Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). The Grammar-Translation
method and the Audio-Lingual approach were the methodologies that were in vogue
before CLT. These methods involved repetition and memorization of forms. Mere
memorizing of grammar rules and studying literary texts are considered somewhat
irrelevant. Nowadays ability to use the language to meet practical ends has
become the major goal of learning English.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In other words we can say that to be successful in learning English
means ability to get the meaning across while communicating. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">With the appearance of CLT second language teaching
faced a dramatic change in the method of teaching the language. The main reason
behind this change is that the educators began to realize the goal of foreign
language teaching is the communicative ability achieved by the learner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the 1970s in Europe there was an influx of
immigrant population who had to learn English quickly to find employment. The
drills of the Grammar-Translation method and the Audio-Lingual approach did not
help the workers to communicate with their employers. ‘British applied
linguists began to call into question the theoretical assumption underlying the
Situational Language Teaching (Jack C. Richards 153). Since the mid-1970s the
scope of CLT has expanded. Both American and British proponents now see it as
an approach and not a method that aims to make communicative competence. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In this era of global communication, the purpose of
learning English should be stretched from the grammatically accurate written
productions of compositions and translations to the multidimensional oral
communication in multi-faced situations. Grammar Translation method demands
the utmost grammatical accuracy which involves time, carefulness and is a slow
process. To satisfy the immediate needs CLT is practiced by the learners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Communicative competence in CLT is a
linguistic term which refers to a learner’s ability to form correct utterances
in the second language and know how to use these utterances appropriately. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The teacher’s role had been outright authoritative in
the Grammar Translation Method. Such a teacher-orientated authority used to
make the students completely dependent on the teachers and devoid of the
practice of speaking skills making the students to be tongue-tied during the
spoken communicative production. The student’s role in the overall Grammar
Translation Method<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the English Language
Teaching<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>situation of Bangladesh had
been by no means passive and a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>kind of
inactive. They were supposed to remain silent during the instruction of the
lessons and were to be active in a limited way only during the written
production of grammatical problem solving tasks and translations when they were
used to be instructed to do so. Such inactivity during the maximum time of the
lesson was used to make the students incompetent in communication in English.
The CLT now reverses the ideas. Now classes are dominated by students.
Students’ talking time is greater than that of Teacher Talking Time. Equal
importance is given to speaking skill which remained totally neglected in GTM. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The teachers used to present the lessons in
lecture-based ways. As it is already mentioned, the participation of the
students was very limited during the lessons. They used to get an opportunity
of participation by directly asking the teachers only when they used to fail to
understand certain things. The more the class had been found silent the more
the teacher used to be satisfied of having been conducted a successful class.
Peer discussions as well as other kind of activities of peer co-operation had
been far beyond the expectations. Thus a gap between the students and the teachers
and also gaps at the levels of competence and proficiency among the peers were
used to be created of which the teachers and the students used to remain
oblivious during the conduct of the lessons. But in CLT teachers work as
facilitators and behave friendly with the learners narrowing the gap between
them. Hence, teaching learning takes place in a non-threatening environment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In Grammar-Translation method grammar had been taught
deductively emphasizing on the meticulous rules and the grammatical output of
the students were used to be considered based on the problem –solving tasks of
the isolated sentences. In CLT only the essential grammatical elements are
taught through the context-based inductive tasks and activities emphasizing not
on the meticulous accuracy but on the overall linguistic negotiation of
meaning. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">GTM is lecture-oriented; in the CLT the lessons are
action-oriented. Thus in GTM there had been only isolated written grammatical
and problem-solving tasks and activities of translations to be individually
done by the students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In CLT, activities
like pair works, group works as well as collective works besides individually
done by the students and in CLT activities as collective works besides
individual performances are to be conducted in almost every lesson ensuring the
integration of four major language skills.</span><br />
