The Swing of the Pendulum: A Brief Look at ESL History

In this course, learners are introduced to second or foreign language theories and practices for teaching and assessing English. Learners will also be introduced to basic studies in second language acquisition and their pedagogical implications. Teachers will be invited to recognize the importance of grounding their own teaching philosophy through an examination of purpose, content, and technique. In Week 1, learners are introduced to the concepts of purpose, content, and technique as they relate to language teaching, and to some of the themes that will be repeated throughout the course, such as the time machine analogy and the angel and devil debates.

Welcome back to Teach English Now.

Peter Elbow, an English writing theorist and

rhetorician recommends that when students are learning about value judgement such as

the kind that we will find in these approaches.

One way to try to understand each judgement

can be examined by doing what is called the Believing and Doubting Game.

The Believing and Doubting Game suggests that if you take a statement,

it is valuable to both agree and disagree with the statement

in order to get a clearer understanding of your own view.

For example, let's take a simple value statement like dogs make good pets.

One of the things you can do with such a statement

is to look at it from the perspective of belief.

Dogs are the best pets and a perspective of doubt.

Dogs are definitely not the best pets.

In theory, this helps you get a greater understanding and

vision of both the weaknesses and strengths of the argument.

Let's take a closer look.

If you look at our statement from a position of belief, notice that

immediately, you come up with evidence that justifies your value statement.

If you tell yourself, I believe dogs make good pets,

you might consider the fact that you have known dogs that can play catch,

can learn tricks, will come to a door and wag their tail and

other such truth statements to back up your value statement.

However, by looking at the statement from a position of doubt, notice that you might

come up with an entirely different set of evidences that justify this new position.

You might talk about the idea that dogs eat more than cats and fish.

Dogs often require bathing or that dogs, especially some types of dogs

have been known to bite, shed or mess the rug when they're scared.

That's my dog.

Now, why am I talking about the believing and doubting game?

Because after we show you each historical figure,

we will spend some time playing it.

This will allow you an opportunity to think about it exclusively in terms of

the advantages or strengths of a particular approach, but

then also to question it by taking a hard look at its possible disadvantages.

Although loosely based on Peter Elbow's game, we will call our game the Angel and

Devil Debate with the angel representing a position of belief and

the devil representing a position of doubt.

In the next video, we will introduce you to the pendular swing and

discuss one last bit of advice before we leave on our journey.

Are you getting anxious like I am?

Sorry for dragging it out just a bit.

I hate getting ready for trips, don't you?

Don't worry, we're just about ready to begin.

See you soon.
