Learning Competencies Leader: Siman, Kim Shaira N. Members: Salvaleon, Nova Mae Nerosa, Jesibel E. Marba, Shiela Grace M. Solitario, Eliza Jean Sinoy, Weljon Nacawili, Liezel LEARNING COMPETENCY -Listening Comprehension (LC) Infer thoughts and feelings expressed in the text listened EN7LC-II-i-6.2: MATERIAL Film Viewing Film viewing plays an important role on students' listening comprehension as well as possessing an informed knowledge by developing something that captured different thoughts or ideas. This material really makes sense in the field of learning process. This time, students will have a film viewing in line with the topic of figure of speech that shows contrast which is irony, oxymoron and paradox. Each film to be presented has its own relevance to the topic. A teacher compiled three different short films that have irony, oxymoron and paradox. Highlighted part was the most important of the film when characters say something that shows contradictory during their conversation. The chosen film that has irony is the Frozen, also in oxymoron is the film about True Lies, and paradox film is all about The Terminator. Through these films, students should listen carefully as they will have an interactive communication on what they have understand. RATIONALE FOR DEVELOPING MATERIALS This material will able to help students to widen their ideas, develop their critical thinking, to analyse and achieve learning outcomes that is being expected. Moreover, it enhances the level of listening comprehension. As we all know that film viewing is the best way to attract the attention and interest of the viewers that's why this is very important to develop more learning that can be used in the future. Nevertheless, we know that, to sharpen their critical thinking is the main target if they really understand the topic by the use of clear and explicit presentation of the given material. It is actually common but we know that it is one of the best way to make the lesson proper meaningful and understandable. Film viewing that is being presented will serve as a guide to the learners to easily determine which is irony, oxymoron and paradox on the film that is given. Indeed, the purpose of this material is to look who is listening and not because learners are tested if they really understand the topic. PRINCIPLES OF MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT APPLIED Principle of Language Acquisition 3 (Language learners who achieve positive affect are much more likely to achieve communicative competence than those who do not) In this part, the presentation of the material is interesting, relevant and enjoyable that will gain a positive impact on the learners’ listening comprehension and attention. It stimulates emotive responses through the use of the film that will be presented in the class. This principle, learners can articulate their feelings about the content of the chosen film before asking them to analyse it. This material also contains the development of sense of listening comprehension because the film itself could able to get important learning and for participation purposes during the discussion. In addition, it develops also eye movements but it depends on how integral and interesting the topic was because as we all know that if the film wasn't interesting, students couldn't pay attention. But if the teacher says that, listen carefully because later we will going to discuss what is the main focus of the film. This will help students to take efforts with the use of listening understanding and analysing. WHEN AND HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL This material is use during the discussion or lesson proper where the students should participate and have a collaborative learning process in order to achieve the objectives. Questions will also be given during the discussion where teacher will determine if they understand what is being presented. To use the material, teacher will discuss first the types of figure of speech that show contrast and its definition with examples to helps students to understand and gain ideas before conducting the film viewing. After a short discussion, a teacher will present the film and students will listen carefully, jot notes and be focused so that they can gain ample learning for the given topic. After the viewing, the teacher will start to explain what the content of each film are. This time, interaction between the teacher and students will happen since discussion needs also the opinion or ideas from the students to elaborate in the class. Thus, learners should participate by providing their ideas to gain extra points. LEARNING COMPETENCY (writing and composition) Simplify Ideas (EN7WC-II-i-5.3) MATERIALS: VISUAL SYMBOL (Poster) Poster is a combination of bold design and color primarily intended to catch the attention on a significant fact, idea or message. This material is chosen to use during the evaluation to assess the learners if they understand what is being taught by the teacher. This material will help the learner visualize the lesson for better understanding. These materials are composed of printed posters with different scenarios and each one of them describes the figure of speech (irony, oxymoron, paradox) and explains it comprehensively. These materials are helpful for teachers and learners as well as to be able to achieve its objective with its intended learning outcomes. RATIONALE FOR DEVELOPING MATERIALS: These materials aim to help learners’ educational needs to maximize the success of educational objectives and outcomes. This will significantly increase learners' achievement by allowing them to explore their knowledge independently. It is useful to assess if the learners understand the topic given nor needed a thorough explanation. Through this materials learners are able to use their cognitive, analytical, and creativity to compose their knowledge through writing their thoughts and opinions regarding to the topic given. In addition they will write what they have learned during the discussion. This material is essential in class during the evaluation where the learners’ learning is being tested with their capability to use their creativity when it comes to writing and the way they think – analytical. The materials presented during their evaluation will caters learners ability to identify the different figure of speech namely irony, oxymoron, and paradox. These three figures of speech will enable their analytical skills to explain their differences without deviation. Posters posted can help them motivate and focus to the specific field. Through the use of these materials the learners can learn on a detailed topic. They are convenient for both learners and teachers. PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPING MATERIALS Principle of Language Acquisition 2 which intended for the learners to maximize their exposure to language in use, they need to engage both affectively and cognitively in the language experience. Through this material in evaluation will maximize learners’ learning during the discussion presented by the teacher. Identify by using a poster can definitely help the learners to use their critical and analytical thinking. On the basis of this material as one of their activities it will allow the learners involved in the given task and provide them opportunities to learn and to acquire new knowledge. As stated on the rationale, they are expected to identify the difference of the task given and are expected to perform the task comprehensively. As a result, on the teachers end, they must provide all the appropriate needs for the topic to be absorbed by the learners in order for them to answer the task given during evaluation. WHEN AND HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL This material is intended to use in evaluation after the presentation of the lesson where the students are expected to perform the given task to assess their learning about the topic given. In this activity there are three posters presented with different scenarios which will allow the teacher to evaluate the learners if they totally get the discussion. The learners are going to identify in accordance to the different figure of speech (irony, oxymoron, paradox) and explain it based on their own understanding and their analytical analysis. Without any exclusion, all the learners are expected to participate in the given task. LEARNING COMPENTECY: Vocabulary V- EN7V-II-h-10.1.3: Identify figures of speech that show contrast (irony, oxymoron, paradox) Materials Students must to know first the definition of each term and its differences by identifying each one of them through learning materials such as showing visual product in a short clip or orally discuss by the teacher. Irony, oxymoron and paradox are parts of speech that have different characteristics. These literary devices can be found in literary pieces such us in stories, poem or in a song. If the teacher wants to test the understanding of the students then it is recommended for him/her to choose the task where he/she can present those pieces to the students and let them identify the irony, oxymoron and paradox. It is implied that the teacher should give or show the students the example of literary pieces, either a fiction or poem and let them read it to identify the following figures of speech. For better understanding, printed sheets of the poem like To the Flower of Heidelberg by Jose Rizal or a narrative story entitled Inferno by Dante can help the teacher to assess the students’ understanding and choose a phrase or a sentence to help the teacher to explain the topic during discussion. Rationale Preparing those literary pieces by siting or let them read the literary piece from literature or other textbooks just to identify the irony, oxymoron and paradox can help them to familiarize words that will correct their diction, pronunciation and adding of vocabulary in English language. Those materialize development will meet not only the standard of learning that the teacher set or the objectives of the lesson, the overall goal of this learning competency can be meet as well. The materials prepared by the teacher assess the students for better understanding. Principle of Material Applied Principle of Language Acquisition 4 (L2 language learners can benefit from using those mental resources which they typically utilize when acquiring and using their L1.) In this part, this principle is the only one applied to the materials that the teacher prepared. If the teacher will present the examples of phrases contains of different types figure of speech (irony, oxymoron and paradox) after explaining the definition of each term, the essence of reading and analyzing will dominate the essence of the area. The teacher can manipulate the flow so it’s given that the teacher may require to the students to give the possible example of irony, oxymoron and paradox. So in this part, the learners should read first what have written on the board that was instructed by the teacher and started thinking the possible answer. Formulating a sentence is a factor to show the applied principle of this aspect. During the presentation of the topic, the teacher explains to them the different examples of the said topic and check if the learners’ given examples are correct. In that specific part, the learners learned at the same time their comprehension towards the topic become clear to them. After presenting the materials that the teacher prepared, the students can identify now the irony, oxymoron and paradox. They can able to formulate also a sentence that is in line to the topic. As well as in the assessment part, reading the printed sheets that the teacher prepared can boost their language acquisition because of the assistance of those materials. When and How to Use the Material The teacher itself is one of the most material develop in this aspect. The teacher is the most efficient material to teach the learners. Through to their determination and dedication they can able to disseminate information without any conflicts. The whole session in the whole class, the teacher present in every part of teaching. They are present in motivation, discussion and even in the assessment however the teacher has proximal ally in teaching the students. Printed sheets as instructional materials are present in discussion proper and for assessment. They dominated those parts in teaching. It is intended in that part because printed sheets of the example chosen by the teacher are only essential to that part also. Explicating the usage of that material vary on how the teacher visualized the capacity and reactions of the learners. The teacher carefully chooses the right example from the textbooks or in the net that is essential and suitable for the students. The teacher examine every part of the examples and look if the topic are presented there before she/he printed those out and use as an instructional materials that needed of the learners. LEARNING COMPETENCY: Literature (LT) EN7LT-II-i-4: Discover the conflicts presented in literary selections and the need to resolve those conflicts in non-violent ways. Materials: Printed materials that contain literary selections will be disseminated to the students. The students will be given a time to read the selections and internalize the story. After reading they will be ask both objective and subjective questions. Objective questions such as the conflict of the given story, and they will be asked about their own opinion on how they can resolve the said conflicts on their own way without the use of violence. RATIONALE In using readymade printed materials that contain the chosen literary piece, it is easy and convenient for the students to focus and read. By the used of the materials and the activity, students will able to learn and at the same time given a chance to voice out their personal opinion, regarding on the conflict of the story. PRINCIPLES OF MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT The Principle of language acquisition 2, which aims to maximize the exposure of the learners to language in use they need to be, engaged both affectively and cognitively in the language experience. By the use of the material and the assigned task or activity, wherein the students are asked to read and to respond regarding on the conflict of the story. By reading the literary selection, they are practicing their comprehension, and at the same time given a chance to reflect and give response and their own opinion on how they can resolve the conflict. When and How This material will be used in the lesson proper. During the lesson the students will be given each a printed materials that contain the chosen literary piece or a story. They will be given a time to read and analyze the story. After everyone is already finished reading, the teacher will asked them questions such as the characters, settings, and the conflict. After that the teacher will now ask for their personal view or opinion about the conflict of the story. They will be asking to give their own stand or opinion on how they can resolve the problem or the conflicts in their own way without any violence. A teacher must prepare something that can help the students to easily get ideas to be shared during class discussion. I learned that a teacher should always encourage students about construction of new knowledge in order to develop critical thinking and reflection of learning on how they understand the given topic. Thus, this way of teaching can help students to grow foster and be knowledgeable enough. The teacher and the materials used for teaching are significant for the students also to learn. These materials are essential for additional resources in case the student is a visual learner or if ever they have a hard time understanding what is the teacher is trying to convey. Through this activity I was able to reflect that it wasn’t easy to be a teacher that you need to connect to your students if they understood the lesson. As a teacher you need to be prepared and willing to assess your students. Lastly, as a teacher you need to know if the teaching style is effective towards your learner. Take time with your students and always be patient – let them ask for further information or if they have clarifications. The learning of the students relies on how the teacher teaches her lesson. Thus, planning is very important so as the implementation of all the materials needed in order for you to come up with your intended learning outcomes. There are things that are needed to prioritize in this matter. What are needed and what are essentials in this area. There are many ways or materials to use but not all of them are capable of handling or suitable for a specific matter. Like for instance, if the learning competencies deals in reading so it is better that a teacher provide materials like textbooks and instruct the learners to analyse the text and prepare an assessment so in that way, the learners will read the given task at the same time it will enhance their critical thinking. It is also important to always consider the students in creating materials. The materials should always cater every type of learners, because not everyone has the same ability to acquire knowledge. The materials as well as the activities should ensure that there will be an interaction and cooperation from the students, in order to have a better and effective acquisition of knowledge. So as a future teacher we know that teaching is not only a fashion or job, teachers hold the keys to a better future for all. They inspire, challenge and empower innovative and responsible global citizens. They get children into school, keep them there and help them learn. So we, as future educator it is our responsibility to think of what our students will learn from us. We're not meant to be teachers just only to teach but also to love our students, we need to help them learn in a good way. DOCUMENTATION
