Abstract

LATEX (for Language Teaching Expertise) is a research group which focuses on expertise studies in areas of language teaching. The paper describes a number of research projects LATEX has been involved in. One set of these are concerned with expertise in task and materials design, considering the procedures so-called experts follow when engaged in these activities. A further project concentrates on materials evaluation and researches how teachers with differing degrees of experience go about the pre-use evaluation of a textbook. Another study comparing the classroom performance of ‘novice’ and ‘expert’ teachers is described. All these studies involve forms of introspection – concurrent verbalization and stimulated recall - and the use of these techniques is regarded as a defining feature of LATEX research. In the final section, two problematical areas related to expertise research are discussed. The first is concerned with how experts are identified. Secondly, a question related to the training of expertise is considered - how central characteristics of expertise can be distinguished from peripheral features, so that training programmes can focus on what is important. Keywords: LATEX, concurrent verbalizationstimulated recall

Abstract

This article reports on research conducted in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University and supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council of the UK. ‘START’ (Skills Training And its Relevance to Teaching) examined some of the teaching procedures and practices followed by teachers of non-linguistic skills (classical singing, table tennis and flight simulation) and identified how these procedures and practices could potentially be applied to the teaching of foreign languages. The context for the research is briefly outlined and the methodology of the study described in this article. The major part of the article discusses the findings in the key area of error correction: explicit other-repair, identifying potential trouble-sources before they occur, modelling, and developing critical thinking in students. Keywords: START, explicit other-repair, trouble-sources
