Editorial
such, tests are an aid to ensuring long-term internalisation of
language, rather than simply a means of assessment.
Nestor Kiourtzidis and Tim Chase demonstrate how technology
is coming to the rescue of those who want to make their
revision more targeted and effective. They recommend ‘spaced
repetition’ activities and explain how new technologies are
making these not only possible, but a highly eficient speed-
learning method.
The key to successful retention of learnt language seems to lie
in making the students’ study of new vocabulary and structures
more focused and deliberate, and I am reminded that these
words were also used by Jeremy Harmer in a talk at this year’s
IATEFL conference, where he described asking successful
musicians about how they learnt dificult passages of music –
with a view to seeing how these techniques might be applied to
language learning. They all, without exception, spoke of the
need for concentration, focus and deliberate repeated practice
of small sections of a score, rather than playing the whole piece
all the way through a few times, ignoring the mistakes.
Editorial
I
t is a common lament of teachers that students successfully
complete grammar and vocabulary exercises in class, but
then seem unable to replicate that success when called
upon to use the same language in free speaking and writing
activities. Several contributors to this issue highlight this
problem and offer strategies and solutions for dealing with it.
In our main feature, Ken Lackman outlines the method he uses
to enable his students to get the most out of their speaking
activities. He ensures that every student gets multiple
opportunities to practise and perfect the language they are
trying to use and that feedback on each student’s performance
contributes to everyone’s progress.
Chris Payne relates how the problem of the lack of transfer of
linguistic knowledge from one context to another was identiied
back in 1929 and given the name ‘Inert Knowledge Problem’.
He advocates a strategy of noticing and analysis in grammar
teaching to improve the students’ understanding of the way in
which language works.
Noticing is also the technique recommended by Handoyo Puji
Widodo and Andrzej Cirocki – in their case, applied to
academic writing. They maintain that if students are able to
identify the features of academic text they will be better able to
apply them to their own work.
Knowing what language has been successfully learnt and what
hasn’t is the focus of Marcus Coney’s article. He puts forward a
convincing case for testing as a means of teaching, believing
that tests give students an opportunity to try out what they
have learnt and ind out whether they really know it or not. As
