1 thought on “Scope and Sequence 2 – Robert Harrell”
“Textbooks generally get this backwards as well, giving long lists of vocabulary terms to be memorized out of context while parceling out the grammatical and syntactical structures bit by bit.” Yes, this is the biggest problem with the textbooks.
Robert also points out the fallacy of thinking that a student needs to be able to produce everything that he or she can understand. That is, the textbook expects students to produce at the level of their comprehension from day 1. That’s silly, but it’s what student production drills and presentations demand. I’m concerned that it’s also likely that textbook-led teachers use the 3 modes of communication this way, too — ex, expecting students to have presentational skills well beyond their acquisition instead of waiting for them to develop over time.
I look forward to reading all of these!
