ELT in Japan: What is coming in 2010
These feature articles and articles in brief are under development for
publication in 2010 at the ELT-J Online Magazine:
1. Vocabulary activities (semantic mapping) for the conversation
class.
2. Vocabulary activities (semantic mapping) for the beginning-level
writing class.
3. Teaching English /l/ vs. /r/ (applied phonology).
4. Introducing a different sort of audio-visual electronic
pronunciation dictionary for FL learning (follows up on the previous
article about units of phonology, the 'visually salient articulatory
gesture').
5. Variations of and considerations for the multiple-choice vocabulary
question for FL practice and assessment.
6. A look at schema theory and its applications for ELT.
7. A look at 'phonemic awareness' and 'phonological awareness'--what
are they and how might they apply to ELT.
8. Analysis of the issue 'phonics vs. whole language' from an ELT
perspective.
9. An adaptation of 'semantic feature analysis' to the classroom study
of EFL vocabulary.
