Knowledge and Skills Statement

Developing and sustaining foundational language skills: listening, speaking, discussion, and thinking -- oral language. The student develops oral language through listening, speaking, and discussion.

Pídales a los estudiantes que trabajen en grupos pequeños y que tomen turnos para dar instrucciones orales para que los otros en el grupo las repitan y lleven a cabo. La persona que habla primero debe instruir a los otros en cuanto a los pasos implicados para seguir una rutina, como podría ser dibujar un organizador gráfico, llenar una forma o acomodar ciertas cosas en un sitio. Una vez que escuchen las instrucciones, los otros estudiantes deben repetirlas y realizarlas. Observe y cheque si los estudiantes exitosamente dan, repiten y siguen las instrucciones. Luego, anime a los estudiantes a que hagan una autoevaluación de lo que hicieron y que examinen áreas en las cuales funcionaron bien y otras en las que necesitan mejorar.


Further Explanation

Para esta evaluación, se requiere que los estudiantes sigan instrucciones orales, repitan las instrucciones, procesen lo que se les ha pedido hacer y que actúen conforme a las indicaciones dadas. Ellos deben ser capaces de recordar los pasos que se requieren para completar una tarea y dar instrucciones claras y detalladas para ayudar a que otros lleven a cabo la misma tarea asignada. Los estudiantes deben entender que comunicar instrucciones oralmente es una parte importante en el trabajo efectivo con otros.

Following, processing, and communicating instructions are important oral language skills critical to working and communicating effectively with others. To follow instructions, students must listen attentively, understand what they are being asked to do, and act according to those instructions. Students must also be able to explain the instructions to others clearly and concisely. Students must also be able to give others detailed instructions.
Instructions with multiple action steps require more than one action from the listener. For example, a teacher might say to the class, "Write your assignments in your math folder, put your folder away, and line up for lunch." This requires students to document their homework assignments, put away their math folders, gather any necessary items for lunch, and line up in an orderly fashion.

Summary: This study revealed that when students are asked to create a presentation they may review their presentation within the classroom or during out-of-school time. The findings suggest that students benefited more from the feedback given in the formal setting of the classroom than in the informal out-of-school setting.

Summary: This brief article gives concrete steps for increasing the quality of student presentations, beginning with planning, and concluding with tips for helping students analyze their performance. The emphasis is upon preparing and delivering the presentation, rather than on the student's gestures or what they are saying incorrectly. The goal is to increase students' security and also increase students' knowledge on how to prepare and deliver a message successfully.
