Abstract This paper explores the applications of pattern grammar and local grammar in English language teaching, focusing specifically on the design of teaching materials. It shows that grammar patterns can be systematically analysed from a local grammar perspective, and further argues that the practice of local grammar analyses helps to raise language learners’ awareness of the patterned nature of language in use and the close association between patterns and meanings. These in turn offer insights into materials writing. A sample coursebook unit is then offered to exemplify how pattern grammar and local grammar can be applied to derive pedagogical materials for English language teaching.

Este trabalho propõe a reflexão acerca do ensino de Língua Inglesa para os anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, no contexto da escola pública, em busca de um trabalho crítico com a linguagem e a formação cidadã. Por meio de um projeto interdisciplinar, a pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar o trabalho com gêneros discursivos multimodais, que permeiam as práticas de letramento sociais, utilizando a Internet como ferramenta de apoio pedagógico. A partir da aplicação de diversas atividades em uma turma do 5° ano, uma foi selecionada e analisada com o propósito de observar o desenvolvimento da habilidade de compreensão leitora. Apesar da resistência e dificuldade com o Inglês, percebeu-se que o ensino da língua tem a possibilidade de ir além de frasesisoladas e descontextualizadas.

AbstractThis study of 30 primary teachers of English in Germany used questionnaires to explore their critical reflections on coursebook usage in classrooms. The research questions were: What are primary school teachers’ perceptions of English language teaching materials? What materials are used by primary school English language teachers? What are their reasons for using certain materials? What characteristics define good language teaching materials for primary school English teachers? The participants mostly prefer implementing their own self-designed materials in combination with coursebooks. Given that preparing personal primary school teaching materials is quite time-consuming, the teachers’ arguments for their choice should be explored further to optimize English language teaching. Some argued that self-designed materials are more adjustable to the needs of their students and more authentic. The paper proposes some strategies for striking a balance between teaching English with and without a coursebook, such as making coursebook learning activities more interactive and raising awareness of effective coursebook selection. Different stakeholders can thus collect useful ideas for improvement, including teacher trainers, teachers, student teachers, school administrators, and publishers.

Take-in the ever-changing policy of Education in Indonesia seems a very long-crucial issue to be discussed. Post-method pedagogy offers with the controversial claim that in the 21st era the play of teaching method is dying. Post-method pedagogy is the current issue of English Language Teaching (ELT) nowadays. This is a qualitative case study aims at investigating English teachers’ perspective towards post-method pedagogy. English teachers from two senior high schools in Subang has taken as the participants. A school is a public school, in which implements 2013 revised-curriculum and one another school is a private school that implements a School-based Curriculum or integrated curriculum. Those teachers administered the questionnaire and one teacher for each school will be chosen to conduct classroom observation and semi-structured interviews. According to the result of this study, the researcher indicates that all the participants tend to implement Communicative Approaches-Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)-Task Based Language Teaching most in their future classes. Eventhough the participants have their own style of teaching, they are not believe in themselves enough to produce their own teaching method. They have an authority to combine and prove it with their beliefs and background knowledge. They pay attention to the background of language learner and should not only focus on native speakers’ value. The researcher is almost able to observe the macro strategies that purposed by Kumaravadivelu. There is no difference between teacher who implements the 2013 revised curriculum and school-based curriculum or integrated curriculum from post method pedagogy principle
