THE IMPORTANCE OFINDUCTION SET IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

WHAT IS SET INDUCTION?

• A SET OF STEPS TAKEN BY TEACHERS TO START A LESSON OR CLASROOM ACTIVITY

• TO INTRODUCE A TOPIC AND GET THE STUDENTS’ FOCUS AND INTEREST IN THE LESSON, SO IF THE STUDENTS ARE SET, THEY ARE READY TO LEARN

• IT IS TO GET THE STUDENTS READY AND BE IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND-SET TO LEARN

WHY DO WE NEED SET INDUCTION?

• TO MOTIVATE THE STUDENTS AND GET THEM INTERESTED IN THE LESSON

• TO GET THE STUDENTS READY AND FOCUSED OR THINK ABOUT WHAT IS TO BE LEARNED

• TO GET OR CATCH THE STUDENTS’ ATTENTION AND PREPARE THEM FOR THAT PARTICULAR LESSON

EXAMPLES OF GOOD SET INDUCTION

1. GAINING ATTENTION

• TEACHER PERFORMS OR DOES SOMETHING

• TEACHER DOES NOTHING

• TEACHER STARTS TALKING IN LOW TONE

• TEACHER’S EYES ON STUDENTS WITH DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR

2. INTERESTING METHOD

• SHOW SAMPLES OR RELIA THAT RELATED TO LESSON FOR THAT DAY

• SHOW PICTURES

• DEMONTRATION

• ASK QUESTIONS What is this place?

• What are the things found here?

3. PUTTING THE LESSON IN CONTEXT

• ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR SKILLS OR EXPERIENCE

• REVIEW PREVIOUS LESSON AND LINK THEM TO WHAT IS TO BE LEARNED ON THAT DAY

• GIVE THEM THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE LESSON

4. USE ORGANIZERS / MAPS

• A MIND MAP

• A TABLE

• A STORY OR ANECDOTE

• A SIMPLE STATEMENT / QUESTION

• A WORD

THIS ALLOWS THE STUDENTS TO RECALL OR TRANSFER THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO THE NEW INFORMATION BEING PRESENTED
