Presentation Transcript

  1. Cognitive and Affective Considerations in SLA • Didactics of the English Language I

  2. Lesson Objectives • • Identify cognitive considerations in SLA • • Identify affective considerations in SLA • • Apply these concepts to ESL teaching • • Reflect on the balance of both dimensions

  3. Warm-up Activty • Think–Pair–Share: • - Think: Reflect on your English learning experience. • - Pair: Discuss with a partner. • - Share: What mattered more—thinking strategies or motivation/emotions?

  4. Cognitive Considerations Overview Mental processes in SLA: perception, processing, memory, production

  5. Information Processing & Learning Strategies (Brown)

  6. Input Hypothesis & Interaction (Harmer, Larsen-Freeman)

  7. Contextualized Learning (Omaggio)

  8. Skill Development (Richard-Amato)

  9. Mini Activity: Cognitive Strategies (5 min)

  10. Group Activity: Applying Cognitive Strategies (15 min) • Work in groups of 4 • Each group gets a teaching scenario (e.g., beginner learning colors, intermediate writing a paragraph) • Task: Propose 2 cognitive strategies for the learner • Share back with the class

  11. Affective Considerations Overview Emotions, attitudes, and motivation strongly influence SLA

  12. Motivation & Attitudes (Brown, Carter)

  13. Anxiety & Emotional State (Williams)

  14. Self-confidence & Risk-taking (Harmer)

  15. Social Constructivism (Williams)

  16. Classroom Example (5 min) • Compare two approaches: • - Scenario 1: Teacher corrects harshly (↑ anxiety) • - Scenario 2: Teacher supports and encourages (↑ confidence) • Discussion Question: Which helps more, and why?

  17. Group Activity: Affective Strategies (15 min) • Work in groups of 3–4 • Each group receives a student profile: • - Ana: shy, low confidence • - Carlos: motivated but anxious • - Luisa: positive but distracted • Task: Suggest 2 affective strategies to support this learner • Present briefly to the class

  18. Integrating Both Dimensions (10 min) • Guiding Question: • How can we combine cognitive + affective strategies in one lesson? • - Pair work: Design a 5-min ESL activity using one cognitive + one affective strategy • - Share 2–3 examples with the class

  19. Pedagogical Implications (Bowen, Larsen-Freeman) • Use varied techniques • Scaffolding • Communicative activities • Learner-centered instruction

  20. Interactive Teaching (Brown, Richards) • Encourage participation, feedback, reflection • Balance cognitive challenge with affective support

  21. Context & Proficiency (Omaggio) • Tailor instruction to learner proficiency • Use authentic contexts for integration

  22. Summary Table • Cognitive = how students think • Affective = how students feel • Both = necessary for SLA success

  23. Reflection Question (5 min)

  24. Homework Assignment

  25. Thankyou
