DLEs 1 • Graded Assignment 3 Topic: Language teaching methods and approaches Name: ............................................................................................................... Deadline: October 3rd INSTRUCTIONS - Work individually. - Provide your answers on a separate sheet of paper - Include this page as cover page. - Turn in your answers in class, and meet the deadline!

RECYCLE Refer back to the contents and bibliography for Module 4. Re-read Kumaravadivelu’s excerpts from Chapter 8. If necessary also go back to the contents and reading of Module 1. REFLECT 1. How do Kumaravadivelu’s ideas relate to the notion of context, as seen in Module 1? 2. The postmethod condition tells teachers «Adapt, don’t adopt». What does this mean? What are the risks of “stiking to” prescribed methods? WRITE Answer the questions above connecting the ideas studied in class. Make sure you refer back to the bibliography clearly and explicitly.

Address the questions fully. Avoid copying-pasting from the bibliography. If you need to refer to the authors, do so properly. For example:

According to Celce-Murcia (2014), “xxx” (p. xx). Blah, blah, blah (Wedell and Malderez, 2013: p. xx). Do not include irrelevant information. Support your views by justifying, or exemplifying what you mean. It’s a personal reaction so make sure this is clear. Check the mechanics of your answer: grammar, spelling, word choice, punctuation, etc. Basic and/or frequent errors will be penalized. Turn in your answers in class, and meet the deadline! ASSIGNMENTS THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS ON WILL NOT BE GRADED
