EXPLANATION STATION Contextualizing Linguistic Input/Integrating Language Skills CONTEXTUALIZATION What is it? CONTEXTUALIZATION Linguistic Context: The environment Contextual clues Specific Cohesion: When one element of the text is dependent on that of another. A Little Redundant? Cohesiveness is formed by removing redundancies. The sentences can not stand independently because they are contingent on one another. CONTEXTUALIZATION Extralinguistic Context! The immediate linguistic environment Stress and intonation Often attitude Is this easy for L2 Learners?? BUILDING MEANING Linguistic and extralinguistic contexts play a role in meaning-making, but it is limited. In order to understand the intended meaning, we must go beyond the language system… CONTEXTUALIZATION Situational Context: Language as a speech act Acronym SPEAKING! Without cohesion, a conversation is still interpretable. MORE CONTEXTUALIZATION Extrasituational Context: AKA context of culture Mastery of cultural norms L2 learners?

New lessons require “a synthesis of various language skills and various language components.” How have you done this in your lessons? PLANNING What do you do if the book you are using is skill separated? What sources would you use to integrate these skills? * * *
