"FUNDAMENTALS OF FEEDBACK SYSTEMS:
A CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED APPROACH"
OBJECTIVES (1/2)
Primary Objective
(Content-Based)
Students will know the basic principles of
feedback systems, their applications in different disciplines, and their useful
in the understanding of complex processes such as second language acquisition (SLA).
"FUNDAMENTALS OF FEEDBACK SYSTEMS:
A CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED APPROACH"
OBJECTIVES (2/2)
Secondary Objective
(Language-Based)
Students will know important aspects of
language learning based on their own real-time experience of SLA and the
examples and activities proposed by the teacher, related to feedback systems.
BRAINSTORM
WHAT ARE FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEMS?
and in
which real-life situations have you recognized one?
Dynamical Systems are essential to analyze Real-World Applications. “Mother Language (L1) and Second Language (L2) are systems with very different dynamics ”
"Feedback allows a system to be very insensitive both to external disturbances and to variations in its individual elements".
BASIC CONCEPTS: CONTROL SYSTEM
The concept of the feedback loop to control the dynamic behavior of the system: this is negative feedback, because the sensed value is subtracted from the desired value to create the error signal,
SIMPLE FORMS OF FEEDBACK: On-Off Control
DISCUSSION: L1/L2 Control in a CLIL Classroom
KEY IDEA 3 :
Control theory can be applied in any context: "L2 can be controlled in a CLIL classroom in order to gain better content understanding and progressive
mechanism of SLA".
