TESL Ontario 2015
Agenda
 Why learners don’t speak English no matter how long
they study? 2 minutes
 Spoken English is different from Written English
Venn Language Diagrams 15 minutes
 The missing bridge between writing and speaking.
Thompson Vowel Chart 15 minutes
 The Six-Point Model for Speaking English 10 minutes
 Grammar Goodies - Rita Baker 3 minutes
 Conclusion 2 minutes
Why Don’t Learners Speak English Now?
 We have no idea how to teach Speaking
http://bit.ly/Xtgyw9
 Manuel Story – Heartbreaker Alert - my CLB 3 super
student from Paraguay was a doctor in his country, 50
yrs old, wanted to practice medicine in Canada
He completed CLB 8 passing all his tests with flying
colors but didn’t speak English any differently than the
day he arrived in this country
Manuel would never be a doctor in Canada because I
didn’t teach him to speak English
 It changed my life – I vowed never to let students down
this way again
William Caxton Split English in Two
Writing vs. Speaking
We Only Teach Writing Because it is All We Learned to Do
In case I forget to mention:
 Only say things that are true – all the time – no
exceptions
 Use the information students already know – ABC,
colors, numbers – true is true at every level
 It’s empowering to start every lesson with, “You know
this already” – I’ll show you how to do that
 Vowel sounds are the main problem but there is an
easy fix. Each vowel sound is found in the name of a
different color
Every Word in English is a Color
This is the Bridge to Pronunciation
Regardless of spelling:
Gray words: day, rain, great, eight, ate..
Black words: cat, half, laugh, plaid...
Pink words: sister, pretty, women, busy...
JUdy is Blue
 What color is your name?
 Do this with an elastic band to help your students find
the stressed syllable/name color
 Blank Color Vowel Chart class exercise
The Vast Majority of Learners are
Beginner/Intermediate
The Vowel Chart is their Golden Key to Speaking
Success
Recap
 Writing and Speaking are different and we know most
about writing
 Colors are a perfect bridge from Writing to Speaking
(and back but we aren’t doing that)
 Every word in English is a color
 The color holds the pronunciation and the all-
important WORD STRESS
 The pattern is the same for Sentence Stress
 The Linking consonants ‘y’ & ‘w’ are also in the chart
More Fun Venns
Vocabulary Doesn’t Belong in the Intersection
Writing and Speaking Vocabulary are too Different
Students are Not Mute
 Any two languages are more the same than different
 Learners already make most of the sounds they need
to speak English effectively
 Start with what learners already know
 What is the difference between accent and
intelligibility?
You have to ask me back for that.
English and Spanish
English and French
English and Arabic
Rita Baker – The Global Approach
All Possible Grammar Structures on One Page
Summary
 It’s possible we make learning English more difficult
than it has to be
 English is simple – not easy, but simple
 It take 30 hours to teach the PATTERNS of English that
are always true
 If you don’t know them – find them on the internet
Do you see the arrow in the FedEx logo? You can’t un-know
things you see now that you never noticed before.
