Text 7A3-II 


    400 million people speak English as their first language; another 1.4 billion as a second tongue. Born 1,600 years ago among the Germanic tribes of northern Europe, English became global. A new exhibition at the British Library, named Evolving English, traces for the first time the incredible journey launched by the Frisians, Saxons, Angles and Jutes who sailed to southeast England, and whose descendants created the Vespasian Psalter in the eighth century. From the Vespasian Psalter the journey moves on through England’s early literary heroes, Beowulf, Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight, and on to Jonathan Swift.


    The curators of Evolving English have been clever to focus not just on English at school and English at work, but English at play, from spoonerisms to malapropisms, puns and palindromes and the 1,800 words invented by William Shakespeare — among them “green-eyed”, “go-between”, “well-read” and “zany”. Not only was Shakespeare the greatest English writer, he could have been no other kind.

    The audiolingual method, also known as fundamental skill method, aural-oral method or Army method, came as a result of the need for American soldiers who were to travel overseas to communicate in foreign languages during the Second World War. To this end, bits and pieces of the Direct Method were appropriated in order to enhance this method. The audiolingual method draws its practices from linguistic and psychological theory that investigates different language using scientific descriptive analytic approach.

Has technology facilitated teachers’ work?
Or reduced teacher burnout?


      When we set out to study pandemic-related changes in schools, we thought we’d find that learning management systems that rely on technology to improve teaching would make educators’ jobs easier. We believed technology would mean positive stimulus to teachers. Instead, our data and analyses showed that teachers whose schools were using learning management systems had higher rates of burnout.

      During the phenomenon of the covid-19 pandemic, when schools across the country were under lockdown orders, schools adopted new technologies to facilitate remote learning during the crisis. These technologies included learning management systems, which are online platforms that help educators organize and keep track of their coursework.

     We were puzzled to find that teachers who used a learning management system such as Canvas or Schoology reported higher levels of burnout. Ideally, these tools should have simplified their jobs. We also thought these systems would improve teachers’ ability to organize documents and assignments, mainly because they would house everything digitally, and thus, reduce the need to print documents or bring piles of student work home to grade.

   However, the data told a different story. Instead of being used to replace old ways of completing tasks, the learning management systems were simply another thing on teachers’ plates.

Compensatory Strategies


     A common set of communication devices involves compensation for missing knowledge. These are called “compensatory strategies”. We will elaborate here on three of them.

   Typical of beginning-level learners, for example, is the memorization of certain phrases or sentences without internalized knowledge of their components. These memorized chunks of language, known as prefabricated patterns, include “on the way to”, “Nice to meet you”, “I don’t speak English.” Prefabricated patterns are sometimes the source of some fun. In my first days of Kikongo learning in Africa, I tried to say, in Kikongo, “I don’t know Kikongo” to those who attempted to converse with me; I later discovered that, instead of saying “Kizeyi Kikongo ko”, I had said “Kizoiele Kikongo ko” (I don’t like Kikongo).

    Code-switching is the use of a first or third language within a stream of speech in the second language. Learners in the early stages of acquisition might code-switch—use their native language to fill in missing knowledge—whether the hearer knows that native language or not. Sometimes the learner slips in just a word or two, in the hope that the hearer will get the gist of what is being communicated.

    Yet another common compensatory strategy is a direct appeal for help, often termed appeal to authority. Learners may, if stuck for a particular word or phrase, directly ask a proficient speaker or the teacher for the form (“How do you say            ?”). Or they might venture a possible guess and then ask for verification from the proficient speaker. They might also appeal to a bilingual dictionary for help. The latter case can also produce some rather amusing situations. Once a student of English as a second language, when asked to introduce himself to the class and the teacher, said, “Allow me to introduce myself and tell you some of the ...” At this point he quickly got out his pocket dictionary and, finding the word he wanted, continued, “some of the headlights of my past.”

          Francois Gouin wanted to learn German, and decided that a year in Germany would be just the thing. At the time of his trip to Germany, you would have found a rather well-prepared, confident Francois Gouin who, despite his young age, is already a gifted Latin and Greek professor.

      With language learning already part of his career, he is encouraged by his advisors at the College of Caen (Normandy, France) to follow his pursuit of German and deepen his studies at the University of Berlin. Excited with his prospects, Gouin takes his determination and suitcases, and sets off for Hamburg.

     Once in beautiful Hamburg, with its countless shops and bustling academic centers, Gouin unpacks his suitcases, and immediately begins his language journey. He spends the first 10 days in seclusion studying in his room. With him, he has a grammar book and a dictionary. He believes languages are learned using “the classical process”, a process he says he used for mastering Latin and Greek. To Gouin, the classical process is the study of language through “an acquaintance of its forms.” In other words, to learn a language, he feels it best to faithfully study grammar and vocabulary!

      After ten days of seclusion, he feels supremely confident, and is anxious to try out his skills. To experiment with his new knowledge, he decides to visit some university classes. Any guesses how that went? Well, Gouin is in for a surprise. Here are his own words: “But alas! In vain did I strain my ears; in vain my eye strove to interpret the slightest movements of the lips of the professor; in vain I passed from the first classroom to a second; not a word, not a single word would penetrate to my understanding.”

     Inside the classroom, some learners seem to take advantage of what is going on more than others. Aware of this, teachers will frequently say that successful students possess some or all of the following characteristics.


1. A willingness to listen: good learners listen to what is going on – not just in the sense of paying attention, but also in terms of really listening to the English that is being used, soaking it up with eagerness and intelligence.

2. A willingness to try new things: many good learners are not afraid to ‘have a go’. They are prepared to try things out and see how it works. Of course, not all successful language learners are extroverts, but the urge to use the language (loudly or quietly) is an important one.

3. A willingness to think about how to learn: good learners bring or invent their own study skills when they come to a lesson. They think about the best way to memorize vocabulary, the best way to read a text (slowly, translating every word? Or quickly, trying to get a general understanding?), the best method of drafting and re-drafting a piece of writing.

4. A willingness to ask questions: although some teachers can become irritated by students who are constantly asking difficult (and sometimes irrelevant) questions, the urge to find out why is part of a successful learner’s equipment.

5. A willingness to accept correction: good learners are prepared to accept corrections if it helps them. They are keen to get feedback from the teacher and act upon what they are told. But this only works where teachers are able to offer constructive criticism. It involves teachers in judging their students’ responses to correction so that they can act accordingly.

        A language function is a purpose you wish to achieve when you say or write something. If you say ‘I invite you’, you are performing the function of inviting. Of course you could also say ‘D’you want to come to the cinema?’ to make an invitation. There are many ways of inviting, apologising, agreeing, giving advice, asking for information etc.

       If our students want to express themselves in speaking or writing, they need to know to perform these functions – in other words, how to use grammar and vocabulary to express certain meanings/ purposes.
