  1. DynEd English for Success – For academics New Dynamic English – For everyday life CSC Learning, Chicago

  2. Today’s Agenda 1. Introduction to DynEd 2. Programs available 3. Philosophy of learning 4. Demonstration of a DynEd lesson 5. Hands-on exploration 6. Setting up classes 7. Understanding records

  3. Why makes DynEd different? Program was designed from brain-based research on language acquisition and memory

  4. What do you know about memory? From Ed Psych? From brain-based learning? From your ESL coursework/experience?

  5. MULTI-MODAL (multi-sensory) DESIGN leads to quicker language fluency • See it • Hear it • Understand it • Speak it • Practice it • Review it • Remember it Unique Position Neurons that fire together, wire together!

  6. Temporal Tension • Oral responses create a tension. Reading and repeating have less tension.

  7. DynEd Visual icons that reduce translation See it

  8. Easy to understand icons and situations See it. Understand it.

  9. DynEd’s Iconic approach See it. Hear it. Synchronized with auditory and conceptual input

  10. DynEdControl Bar Play/Pause Microphone Playback Translate Repeat Text Hear it. Speak it.

  11. Speech Recognition

  12. Speech Recognition • Program recognizes and responds to clear speech • 4 level speech meter • Self-monitoring through comparison • Requires clear microphone input

  13. Social and Academic Content

  14. A variety of engaging activities at every level

  15. Understand, not just memorize Grammar in patterns Vocabulary in phrases & sentences Language concepts in context Understand it

  16. Chunking Language • Because language is learned in patterns, • (not as vocabulary lists) • Students learn phrases or chunks • The chunks become larger and larger • Chunks are “strung together”

  17. Grammar & Vocabulary are learned in context

  18. Multi-modal practice

  19. Grammar • There is both recognition and production of language.

  20. Quizzes

  21. Quizzes and comprehension checks are throughout the program

  22. Language Learning is a Skill Skill proficiency requires practice

  23. Enough practice for automaticity • Understanding is necessary, but not sufficient • Oral fluency requires automaticity • Automaticity is beyond mastery • And requires practice, practice, practice • Comes from skill memory

  24. Recursive Learning a unique learning path that continually combines new learning and review Preview Comprehension Focused Practice Review IntermittentReview Practice and Review it

  25. Practice with Variation • The “Shuffler” increases complexity with each practice. This makes it Dyn-namic

  26. Recursive Learning – Distributed Practice • Typically Students work in their current unit (most advanced possible) for 1/2 -2/3 of their lesson time • Practice speaking & listening • Multiple short segments • Then review or preview a section

  27. Long-Term Memory Working Memory Visual Auditory Conceptual Remember it

  28. This is all very different than the way we learned a language in school Study & Memorization Explanation, Grammar Text Practice • Study at the expense of practice • Knowledge-based approach

  29. DynEd Automated Placement Tests

  30. Classroom DynEd can be used in.. Small Group 1-on-1 Home Whole Group

  33. Instructor’s Role • Computer-based learning and practice frees the instructor to work with small groups • Learning can be personalized and extended

  34. Online Manuals, Scope and Sequence, Student Study Guides, worksheets

  35. Guidelines for Effective Implementation • Study 3-4 times a week • 25-40 minute sessions • Study at least 5 lesson types • Always review: distributed practice • Use the microphone to practice speaking
