he Project Pedagogy


Salam,
The project pedagogy is a very important stage in the File , it's the final production of the file and it's also one of the forms of the Written Expression
It's officially planned for the levels {1st - 2nd & 3rd Am} levels however for the fourth level , it had been omitted in the (official slimming of the syllabus of June 2008 ) in order to give more time for the learners to prepare their final Exa

السلام عليكم هل بالامكان افادتي بنموذج دفتر تنقيط يخص مادة الانجليزية للتعليم المتوسط فانا مقبلة على الترسيم واود التحضير مسبقا
well you have to split you mark book into the following columns

1- first and family names of your learners

2-the second one for "formative evaluation , evaluation continue or التقويم المستمرso here you have to make another sheet in which you take into consideration all the behaviour of your learners (classroom participation,home works.....) because in this column you put just "the average of your learners' formative evaluation"

3- for Test 1 since you have to do 2 tests for each level per term

4- test 2

5- the Test mark (which includes the average of the formative evaluation + test1+test2 all divided by 3) which you have to multiply it by 2 which means that your final test mark is out off 40
6- Exam 1/2/3 *3 which means the exam mark is out off 60

7 - the final average : test(out off 40) + exam (out off 60) all divided by 5

N.B:

for the MS4 level you will have to multiply the final average by the coefficient which is for English (2) and you have the results

8- t column is for the MS4 level you fill in it the (results ) the final average multiplied by the coefficient 2 s

this is the way you will have to organize you mark book
Good luck

well
1) the ATF is
A: Algerian
T: Teaching
F: Forum
the ATF are the competencies that the teacher should aim at while teaching in class or what is called Guiding Principles of Teaching English in ALgeria
2) AEF :
A: Algerian
E: English
F; Forum
the AEF deals with the Objectives of the Teaching skills ( listening- speaking-reading & writing) to the Algerian learners
which means what do you expect from your learners by the END of THE SCHOOL YEAR to be abel to do (SWBAT)
3) PPU
P: presentation
P: practice
U: Use /u:s/
PPU deals with the stages of planning and presenting ( speaking - grammar- pronunciation )lessons
4) PDP ( listening- reading - writing) lesson
P: Pre( listening / reading/ writing)
D: During or While ( listening / reading/ writing)
P: Post ( listening / reading/ writing)
and what you can see as ATF + AEF + PPU + PDP refer to what the American did here in Algeria from 2006 to 2008 or what is called by some American Method
You have a wide idea while looking at the samples of lesson plans I put on this page forum ( page 1)
N.B : The ATF & the AEF competencies should appear in each lesson plan , the teacher has to split them according to the number of lessons of each File ( one or two competencies )in each lesson plan depending on the teaching skill tackled
For more explanations you are welcome

[bounab samir]

Salam
concerning the Text Book or Log Book the teacher has to report on it what he has planned to teach to his learners
( The model plan is as Mr.Amine mentioned above " date - time - class - Context - OBS)

for example here is a sample of the MS4 level a PDP Reading lesson

4AM1 file One: Reading and writing
Function & grammar {learning objectives} : Describing seafood + locating( tag question+ prep)
pre-reading: activity 1p 33
while reading: Activity 2 + 3 p 33/34
post –reading : activity 4P34
swbat{ S= students / W= Will / B= be / A= able / T = to do...}: by the end of the lesson the pupils should be able to : talk about food and locate (using tag qqs-prepo)


N.B : The Observation Column must be filled everyday in order to enable the teacher Assess his teaching or
Nothing to declare ( if the lesson was successful) or If the lesson was postponed Because of any reason it should be mentioned here

Salam ,
Well concerning the " group work " or what we call " the Group Pedagogy" , the teacher has to deal with it regularly and depending on the task to be achieved
The group pedagogy will serve the teacher more while dealing with the "Project Work " which is a Must that the teachers have to deal with it .
From the beginning of the year the teacher has to Ask his learners to Form their groups according to their neighborhood , their likes and dislikes .....
The ideal Number of the Group is not more than 4 (four) and the teacher has to instruct them from the beginning of the MS1 level that each member of the group has a role to play depending on the competencies of each member .
for example : 1 or 2 gather the information / 1 writes / 1 draws .... and 1 of the 4 member will be the spokesman the day of the presentation of the Project work.
This is the case of the Project Work which must be done by a group not individual work and please instruct your learners from the beginning of the MS1 level not to buy Projects from Cyber cafe , the teacher has to show his learners how use such source of information , Select , edit then fleshing out what has been selected
Concerning the classroom situation we generally deal with "Pair Work" and sometimes with "group work " depending on the Task, but generally the "Pair Work" is the dominant task in our syllabus , the teacher has the deal with it make his learners work in pair , it's more motivating for the learners , where the learners listen to each others , respect each others and discover each others
The reason that makes the teacher ovoid "group work or Pair work " is as Madam Hayet said our classes are overcrowded , and each time I ask my friends and colleagues while I lead meetings and seminars I just ask them one question
What do you suggest ?, this is our fact , our classrooms are overcrowded ,
We have to adapt our teaching technics to such classroom situations and the best way is train our learners from the beginning of the school year to such tasks and this is not impossible .

Well for the MS2 level You have to adapt this file 6 of MS1 level ( so here no describing biographies - Simple past tense- is taught in the MS1 level , you can teach File 1 of MS2 level normally as it is planned ,but just in the sequence which deals with biographies here you have to adapt the learning objectives ( functions & grammar of the File 6 with that sequence)
then in file 3 Health here you have to adapt it with File 5 ' Food' of the MS1 level
here is the link I have planned that file

for the MS 4 Level you have all the files on page 2 they are planned according to the most updated of the teaching method and also the yearly plannings I have detailed them to help the teachers be aware of the timing , the entry and exit profile
for me the MS4 level is more achievable than the MS3 level
for the MS4 level the teacher has not to be absent or late because all the seances are counted and according to them the ONEC plans the BEM exam
for further questions or inquiries you and all the teachers are welcome

well concerning the Project Work = the Final Production of the File
The Project Pedagogy
the teacher has to tackle it from the MS1 level and from the First File . How?
1- ask your learners to split into groups of 4 maximum 5 .( the group should be formed according to their neighborhood since the work is done out of school )
2- Instruct the learners Not to Buy Projects from Cyber because there some who Exploit the learners and sell them Useless Project , just show them that they can gather INFORMATION from cybers , newspapers , school library , previous Project (which should be gathered at the school library to serve as a source of authentic information, school internet , magazines.....
3- Show the learners the role of each member of the group ( 1 or 2 gather information , 1-draws ( make the learners exploit and re-invest what they study at their Art seance , 1- is the spokesman ,the one who will present the project in class)
4- teach the learners the lay out (form) of the project ( letter- wall paper.....) and ask them to focus on what they learnt in the current file , the learners are not supposed to produce hundreds of pages , just the main Aim of the File .
5- from the beginning of the school year and before the teacher starts any file , he has to discuss and interact with his learners about the Project Work and what they are supposed to do and the way to present it.
6- the teacher has to set at least 5 minutes by the end of each seance to ask the learners if they are progressing in their project work(in order to help them if they face difficulties) since it will take all the period that the file lasts , so the learners are supposed to present the project by the end of each file.
7- Plan a seance for the presentation of the Project and ask the learners before that seance to prepare questions to be asked to their colleagues during the presentation of the project in order to make them , interact and interpret their colleagues' productions.
8- Mark the project works ,gather them and put them in the school's library .(in order to serve as a source for the next generations learners - this is mentioned in the official program of teaching English in Algeria and in the ( document d'accopagnement )
9- The teacher has to convince his / her learners to accept the fact to work in group specially we Algerian have the tendency to work and do the job alone , you will face learners who will beg you to work alone , so here the teacher has to convince his learners to work in group because this has a social effect (accept each others,respect each others , help each others......)
For further Information about the Project Pedagogy please log in to this l

All the comments and inquiries are welcomed
Good Luck

Salam Moonlight,
thanks for the question
How to treat your pupils , is a daily teacher's matter
1-
the teacher should bear in mind that his learners have been stuck at their tables and chairs for 7 hours and may be 8 hours .
2-
the teacher should be in mind that his learners are Individuals , they have likes and dislikes , they are not hard drives where we store on them information .
3-
the teacher should ask him self before he comes to the class and while planning his lessons ( WHO ARE MY LEARNERS?) this will help him/her to know their abilities , capacities , competencies, likes , interests ......
4-
The teacher has to Penetrate in his wonderful learners' world , discover it , explore it , he must understand the way they cloth , comb their hair , the way they behave , they way they live their life , even if they are too motivated (noisy) he must understand what makes them behave like that never think of punishment this method has proved its failure and specially with the new generations ( internet - mobile phones .........)
5-
You have to be sure that you are their hope , you are there for their sake , to help them to learn , you are a model for them and it's a great honor to stand in front of them , your classroom is a community , you in front of you all what you can find out of the class in the real society.
6 -
The teacher has to respect the job that he /she performing , if you do not respect what you are teaching how would you expect your learners to respect you , trust you and believe in you.
7-
the teacher is not there just to teach the Books , DO NOT TEACH THE BOOK / TEACH ABOUT THE BOOK. there is an approach and methods to be taught .
8-
Be careful of the way you cloth , behave , the words you use in front of your learners and do not forget that at Middle School ( the most hard stage in the learners' lives) your learners are teenagers and believe me you can save a learner with just one word , and you can destroy him with just one word or the way you look at him .
9-
You are the source of their inspiration , hope , so be all the time cheerful , hopeful , ready to help them listen to them , try before you start your lesson to interact with them listen to their inquiries , understand them
10 -
Teaching is an ART and be sure of one thing NO ONE CAN TEACH ,there is only the ALMIGHTY GOD WHO CAN TEACH , we are just HELPING PEOPLE TO LEARN , One day I asked one of my Great teachers : Why did you choose to be a teacher? He answered me : To be a teacher is to be all the time Young , you will not feel that you are getting old since every year you meet a new generation , young generations with new thoughts , ways of living as if you are discovering a new world each year . This is teaching Madam
Sorry for being so long but your question is not short
N.B : for the word "advise' their is no plural if we want to make it plural we say ( 1 or 2 or 3 Pieces of advice) the verb is to advise .
For further explanations or inquiries you and all the teachers are welcome

Interpreting Written Message and producing written one. (the question of Mr.Messinho)

This means if the teacher has well performed his lesson and reached his final Aim (SWBAT) his/her learners will be able to achieve the final production of any final ( written expression :which could be either a problem solving situation or integrated situation or free written production while the learners express themselves freely and this can take the form of : a project work / the write it ups & write it outs for the MS3 & MS4 level + the BEM exam paper for the MS1 & MS2 "produce" .

so to be brief:

1- Interpreting written message : Decode the written expression's message (taking into account all the forms that it can take as I explained above. Your learners must be able to understand what is required from them in their daily class instructions and in the BEM exam ( the Final exit Profile aim of the Middle School learner)

2- Producing written message: Since your learners were able to "decode and understand the written expression's instructions they will be able to produce a message (written or oral ) and beginning from the MS2 level the focus is on the written one since we are targeting the final Aim ( the BEM Exam) where must be able to understand and perform written productions.

Good luck
