Jazz

what you probably need is a dictionary of Applied Linguistics and TESOL to help you with these terms

There will be a lot more where they came from and some reference books are listed on Google.

Ayeeeeeeeeee....just found another teaching term that might be on the test: Elicit. Can anyone tell me what this term means?


In ESL/EFL, elicit will mean drawing out language that the student already has instead of lecturing them. How you elicit will be highly dependent on what you want them to learn.

Sometimes simply using pictures and asking "What is this?" may result in eliciting the correct response from one student in the class.

In other cases the "target language" might be describing objects, in which you may give pairs of students an unusual object (which they don't know the name of) and have them say something about it.

Or you could have them look at a passport with stamps in it to elicit the form "...have been to..." etc...

There was an example of eliciting on englishdroid.com (perhaps the 'CELTA without tears' page). As I recall, it went something like this:

Quote:
Eliciting - dropping increasingly unsubtle hints until even the thickest of the students can supply the answer e.g. "OK class, what's the term I'm looking for? Present c...it begins with 'c'. C...o...n...no, not 'condom', Juan, yes, very funny, but you can all stop laughing now. I was looking for 'Present continuous'. Now, who can me when it's used?" etc


Unfortunately, the site no longer seems to be available. Sad

Oh, I see others were posting slightly more helpful stuff whilst I was enjoying myself. On a slightly more pratical note, do a search for 'tkt' here on Dave's and download its glossary pdf for a start.

Just make sure you dont solicit students instead of elicit. Could make things very awkward for you at your job. Shocked

Facilitating elicitation of elucidating clarification, maybe?

In summation, it is the formation and collation of salient information and its relation to its denotation, collocations and connotations.
