Principles



This Prezi presentation features the contents of Rod Ellis' chapter on Principles of Instructed Seond Language Learning. You are invited to exchange views on the questions posed throughout the presentation.

Btw... how did you like Prezi? Are you familiar with this digital tool? How can it be used in the foreign language teaching class?

  1. Hi everybody! I think these Principles are very useful to have an idea of what happens when we are teaching/learning a language. Maybe we can relate to more than one concept or example because of our own experience as a student of a foreign language.
    This Principles are also very helpful to be aware of what's important and what's needed during a class, what happens while learning and, most of all, to understand that nothing is fixed but are multiple ways to deal with situations and make it through.
    I really like Prezi because it is easy to use and the presentations are very colorful and dynamic. We can also put all kinds of information in a nice way.

  2. Prezi is a really useful tool that I knew of early this year and I have been using it whenever I can. I find it really easy to work with and to display the information in a way that is easy to understand. As regards the principles, I believe they are essential to take into account when delivering classes. They have helped me become aware of things I did or didn't do inside the classroom and they have also served me as information to resort to when handling students and what to remember to include in plannings.

  3. Hi! Very interesting prezi! In my case, I'm familiar with this tool and it was really useful to guide our discussion in class.. It helped me to have a general picture of the principles, and then it was easier to delve on each principle!
    Principles are helpful for teachers: we get to know how important formulaic chunks are, how different our students may be, the importance of negotiation of meaning, among other things.
    We, as teachers, can use Prezi to present our didactic sequence and guide the class in a dynamic and nice way.
