Multiple Choice

According to "Feedback Fundamentals," what is a key aspect of feedforward techniques?

• Providing information or instructions after a task is performed
• Ignoring the need for communication
• Using outdated information for decision-making
• Promoting a growth mindset by framing tasks as opportunities for learning and improvement

Multiple Choice

What is recommended for scaffolding instruction?

• Giving students complete independence without any support

• Break down complex tasks into smaller manageable steps

Controlled Practice

Refers to a phase of learning where students are provided with structured and guided activities to practice newly acquired knowledge or skills in a controlled environment. During controlled practice, the teacher closely monitors and guides the students through the activities to ensure that they are correctly applying what they have learned. This phase often follows the presentation of new information or concepts and precedes more independent or open-ended practice.

Key characteristics

• Structured Activities: Activities are carefully designed by the teacher to focus on specific learning objectives or language structures. These activities typically have clear instructions and guidelines for completion.

• Guidance and Support: The teacher provides guidance and support to students as they engage in the practice activities. This may involve giving examples, offering explanations, and correcting errors in real-time.

• Repetitive Practice: Students engage in repetitive practice of the target skill or concept to reinforce learning and build proficiency. This repetition helps students develop fluency and automaticity in applying the newly acquired knowledge or skills.

• Immediate Feedback: Students receive immediate feedback on their performance during controlled practice. This feedback may come from the teacher, peers, or self-assessment tools, and it helps students identify areas for improvement and consolidate their understanding.

• Limited Variability: Controlled practice activities often limit the range of possible responses to ensure that students focus on specific language structures or concepts. This controlled environment allows students to gradually build confidence before moving on to more independent practice.
