| Goals: Collaborative writing in English so as to: 1) learn to develop collaborative projects and working together; 2) be aware of the different metadiscourse strategies preferred in different languages and cultures (English-Spanish); 3) reflect on the impact of cultural values on language, particularly on the use of metadiscourse strategies in genres like the promotional leaflet or movie review. | |||||
| DESCRIPTION OF TASKS: |
Step 0: Main tellecolaboration project description: Elaboration of a promotional leaflet or movie review making use of appropriate interactive and interactional metadiscourse strategies in English and to deliver an oral presentation based on a TV ad in which students must use the appropriate metadiscourse strategies to attract potential buyers. They can also comment orally a movie they have recently watched and either recommend or not that movie to potential viewers.
Step 1: Brainstorming and choosing the genre: In groups, students will have to read their first writings and improve them by means of examining the appropriate metadiscourse strategies commonly used in English and how these may be influenced by the cultural values of the target language. They will also have to reflect if the metadiscourse strategies used in these type of genres can also be due to genre constraints rather than the written culture. Students will have to create a New Google doc on their group’s shared folder and note down their ideas.
Students will have to do all preparatory work on the Google Drive (Google Docs and Google Slides). Each group creates their folder on Google Drive.The grop members and the teacher will have access and editing rights in the folders.
Step 2: Thinking about the writing and reading and watching examples: In groups, students must think about the writing genre they would like to do (promotional leaflet/movie review) as well as the kind of oral presentation they would like to carry out. These activities will be added to the students’ groups’ GoogleDoc shared document. Students will watch the examples.
Step 3: Thinking about the topic, structure, software, and resources for your writing/oral presentation: a) topic (Original and appealing); b) the overall structure with the main communicative moves; c) the software students will use to do their writings or oral presentations; d) the kind of resources they will need. These ideas must be written by students in their shared Googledoc.
Step 4. Creating the writing/perform the oral activity: In groups, students will have to create their own writings or perform the oral presentations. These tasks will be added to their shared GoogleDoc. |
