Comparatif des programmes éducation de Sarkozy et de Hollande.

http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2012/03/04/education-les-programmes-des-candidats_1651644_823448.html

Le Monde a publié un comparatif des programmes éducation des candidats à la présidence. Ce qui frappe au premier abord c'est la proposition de Sarkozy d'offrir aux enseignants la possibilité de travailler plus d'heures pour un salaire plus élevé. François Hollande par contre propose de scolariser les enfants dès 2 ans et de revoir les rythmes scolaires en allongeant l'année pour alléger les journées de travail. Selon Le Monde:

"M. Hollande compte également arrêter le "un sur deux" dans l'éducation et embaucher 60 000 professionnels de l'enseignement – sans pour autant augmenter le nombre global de fonctionnaires. Il propose de revaloriser leur salaire et de restaurer l'année de formation pratique."

Il serait bien temps de modifier l'année scolaire pour les enfants et les profs. La journée scolaire est trop longue, les vacances le sont aussi. Quant à un salaire plus élevé plus un emploi du temps plus chargé, il est vrai que les comparaisons internationales (OCDE) révèlent que les enseignants français font moins d'heures de cours que la moyenne (au collège et au lycée, pas forcément dans le primaire)*. Ils sont moins bien rémunérés que leurs homologues britanniques et allemands, par exemple, mais le problème n'est pas que les Français font trop peu d'heures, c'est que les Anglais en font trop. Les profs français feraient bien de résister à toute tentation de travailler davantage. Je ne vois pas où François Hollande va trouver les fonds nécessaires pour créer davantage de postes, lui non plus, j'imagine.

A noter (chiffres OCDE de 2010):

Le salaire d'un prof débutant dans le secondaire en dollars:

France: 26123                   Angleterre: 30534

Et après 15 ans de service:

France: 34316                  Angleterre: 44630

Heures de cours annuelles dans le secondaire (collège):

France:  644                    Angleterre: 722

What is the natural order hypothesis?

The natural order hypothesis states that all learners acquire the grammatical structures of a language in roughly the same order. This applies to both first and second language acquisition. This order is not dependent on the ease with which a particular language feature can be taught; in English, some features, such as third-person "-s" ("he runs") are easy to teach in a classroom setting, but are not typically fully acquired until the later stages of language acquisition. The hypothesis was based on morpheme studies by Heidi Dulay and Marina Burt, which found that certain morphemes were predictably learned before others during the course of second language acquisition. The hypothesis was picked up by Stephen Krashen who incorporated it in his very well known input model of second language learning. Furthermore, according to the natural order hypothesis, the order of acquisition remains the same regardless of the teacher's explicit instruction; in other words,

What is skill acquisition theory?

For this post, I am drawing on a section from the excellent book by Rod Ellis and Natsuko Shintani called Exploring Language Pedagogy through Second Language Acquisition Research (Routledge, 2014). Skill acquisition is one of several competing theories of how we learn new languages. It’s a theory based on the idea that skilled behaviour in any area can become routinised and even automatic under certain conditions through repeated pairing of stimuli and responses. When put like that, it looks a bit like the behaviourist view of stimulus-response learning which went out of fashion from the late 1950s. Skill acquisition draws on John Anderson’s ACT theory, which he called a cognitivist stimulus-response theory. ACT stands for Adaptive Control of Thought.  ACT theory distinguishes declarative knowledge (knowledge of facts and concepts, such as the fact that adjectives agree) from procedural knowledge (knowing how to do things in certain situations, such as understand and speak a language).

12 principles of second language teaching

This is a short, adapted extract from our book The Language Teacher Toolkit . "We could not possibly recommend a single overall method for second language teaching, but the growing body of research we now have points to certain provisional broad principles which might guide teachers. Canadian professors Patsy Lightbown and Nina Spada (2013), after reviewing a number of studies over the years to see whether it is better to just use meaning-based approaches or to include elements of explicit grammar teaching and practice, conclude: Classroom data from a number of studies offer support for the view that form-focused instruction and corrective feedback provided within the context of communicative and content-based programmes are more effective in promoting second language learning than programmes that are limited to a virtually exclusive emphasis on comprehension. As teachers Gianfranco and I would go along with that general view and would like to suggest our own set of g
