![Page 13: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1- What is a problem ?
• A problem is a task that requires the learner to think through a motivating and challenging learning situation which is not impossible to solve.
![Page 14: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is problem solving situation?
• A problem solving situation is a process of working on facts, details , information and knowledge to reach a solution.
• It is an ongoing activity in which we use what we know to discover what we don't know.
• It includes expectable obstacles by generating hypo-theses, predictions, and arriving at satisfactory solutions.
![Page 15: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Problem-solving involves three basic functions:
a) Seeking information b) Developping new knowledge
c) Making decisions d) Assessing one’s learning process
![Page 16: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why problem solving situation?
![Page 17: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
- Problem solving learning
situations is very important since it
places learners in situations that
test/check their capacity to
overcome obstacles and problems .
![Page 18: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Languages are learned most effectively and
lastingly when they are used to solve
problems through hypothesis testing .
![Page 19: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
- The Problems make the learners think and they learn by thinking
- word their thinking in English while solving the problems.
![Page 20: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
It provides students with opportunities to use their newly acquired knowledge in meaningful, real-life activities and assists them in working at higher levels of thinking.
![Page 21: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Problem-solving is, and should be, a very real part of the curriculum. It presupposes that students can :
• take on some of the responsibility for their own learning
• can take personal action to solve problems • resolve conflicts • discuss alternatives • focus on thinking as a vital element of the
curriculum.
![Page 22: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4- Is problem solving new in our
teaching system?
![Page 23: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What does this illustration stand for?
![Page 24: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Learner centered teaching : the is the pivot of the learning
& teaching process
Learner centerness

The 4 learning situations
![Page 30: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
-Teaching and learning through problem solving
situations has been introduced in the Algerian
teaching system since 2003 when the Ministry of
National Education opted for the Competency Based
Approach .
![Page 31: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What is initial problem solving situation?
![Page 32: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• It's the starting point of your lesson where you involve your learners from the first moment you are in class
• you put them in real life situation conform to the official approach (CBA) which is learner centered one.
• Using selected aids , you invite your learners to guess, improsive, deduce....
![Page 33: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
-CBA is an action-oriented in that it gears language learning to the acquisition of embedded in functions and skills.
![Page 34: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
These will allow the know-how learner to become an effective/competent language problem solver user in real-life situations outside the classroom.
![Page 35: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
5- How to plan problem solving lesson?
![Page 36: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Planning lessons through problem solving
situations necessitates from the teacher to take
into account many important facts:
![Page 37: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
1. Consider and acknowledge the learners abilities and competences toward the target language . ( who are my learners?)
![Page 38: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
2 - Adapt the lesson’s learning objectives to the learners level, abilities , competences, needs and likes
![Page 39: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
3- Create a climate of communication by inviting the learners to act in reflective thoughts .
![Page 40: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
4 - The problem exposed must be of some interest to the learners who must have experienced such similar problem situation.
![Page 41: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
5 - Such problem must be motivating and stimulating to think about the
options to
solve the problem.
![Page 42: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
6 - The learner already possesses a minimum of data to deal with the
problem exposed .
![Page 43: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
7 - Help the learner reach the solution in a complete autonomous way where he or she feels responsible about his or her thoughts.
![Page 44: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
8 - Encourage Independence :
Have students work through problems on their own. Ask directing questions or give helpful suggestions, but
provide only minimal assistance and only when needed to overcome obstacles.
Don’t fear group work! Students can frequently help each other, and talking about a problem helps them think more critically about the steps needed to solve the problem.
Additionally, group work helps students realize that problems often have multiple solution strategies, some that might be more effective than others
![Page 45: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Be sensitive :
• when working problems, students are unsure of themselves. This lack of confidence may chain their learning.
• It is important to recognize this when students come to us for help, and to give each student some feeling of mastery.
• Do this by providing positive reinforcement to let students know when they have mastered a new concept or skill.
![Page 46: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Encourage Thoroughness and Patience :
• Try to communicate that the process is more important than the answer so that the student learns that it is OK to not have an instant solution.
• This is learned through your acceptance of his/her pace of doing things, through your refusal to let anxiety pressure you into giving the right answer, and through your example of problem solving through a step-by step process.
![Page 47: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
6- Barriers to problem solving teaching?
• The barriers that may trouble dealing with problem solving situation are:
a) Fail to recognize the problem b) Uncertain about what is the problem is dealing with . c) Being uncertain about the choice to adopt since the problem may expose a variety of solutions. d) Doubt about if the reached solution is doable and achievable .
![Page 48: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
7- Some problem solving classroom activities:
• Problem solving skills are very important in real life and classroom activities can help a lot in preparing the learner to face such problems in daily life.
• They do not need to be dull and routine activities ( they depend on the type of the target language tackled)
![Page 49: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Brainstorming
• Helping learners to generate as many as possible as idea and elicit them in lists .
For example just say the word “ imagine” and see what happens :
Learners may :

![Page 52: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Or may activate such process
![Page 53: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Guessing
using pictures ( generally the ones of the school manuals) invite the learners to guess and improvise.
( teacher may help them to put their ideas “black on white” by answering specific questions like :
1) where does the situation take place? 2) who or what is in the photo? 3) what is heppening?
![Page 54: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
What’s the problem ?
• This is a powerful technic to unify all the ideas
![Page 55: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Group activities
• One of the motivating problem solving strategies is group work where learners can express themselves easily ( shy learners can easily share their ideas with their peers)
• learners may deal with :
![Page 56: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
• Brain Purge activity : Many ideas are suggested by all the members of the group about the problem exposed which may save time.
• Brain sketching: instead the learners interact about their ideas or interpret them in written way , they draw that on paper , each member of the group does that then they share their drawings.
• Combo Chatter: is process of generating ideas then selecting the best ones and developing them into workable product.
![Page 57: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• The “sentence trigger” = what if……. ? : helps push the limits of our imagination
• Mingling: moving around and talking to peers or groups which will oblige learners to take part in discussion about the problem exposed.
![Page 58: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
workshop• What problem solving situations can you
create to teach :
![Page 59: Problem solving in teaching english djelfa march 29 meeting 2017](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f9ac0a760da3da068b8a47/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Conclusion
• These are just ideas , teachers can generate their own ones depending on their learners needs and interests .
• what is important while using problem solving teaching is the learner is a collaborator and an individual where all his needs and interests are taken into account.
• Using problem solving teaching helps to build who are not only excellent learners but future problem solvers.
