TD Tutorial means : TD is a teaching
method that allows pupils to apply
theoretical knowledge in the form of
exercises. It usually take place in small
numbers to facilitate the teacher's help .

Activities in TDs:

the TD activities. The teacher conceives
them using situations that interest
every leaner.
Gives opportunity to his or her learners
to interact and work in homogeneous
small groups.

learners and weak ones that prevents
them from progressing.

Dont give enough time for
relfexion for the learners.

RATIONALE FOR GROUP WORK IN

ENGLISH COURSES (by Madam (Ouzna
Mekaoui)
The main objective of learning a foreign
language is to enable students to develop
a communicative competency in the target
language.

Group work, half of the class, is meant to

provide an opportunity to improve
learners performances.
A weekly group session will enable to
adapt the learning process to students
needs.

 Group work therefore will allow to

reinforce language practice.
Learners will have the necessary
support so that their outcomes
match the curriculum expectations.
The teacher will plan language
skills and knowledge oriented
activities that take into
consideration Individualised
Instruction

 In a group work class learners can

develop their skills independently.
They take responsibility in small group
tasks. They work collaboratively and
develop a positive attitude to learning.
They can have a constructive, immediate
and targeted feedback on their own
progress.
They can also acquire and practice the
learning strategies they need to interact
with peers.
They can take part actively in their
project work , with the support of their
teacher

They can develop their own tools to

organise their work.

Suggested types for grouping

students
: :
Type one
Mixed ability
groups
Mixed ability grouping enables learners to
cope with real life working context , where
people of different abilities work together.
It has , therefore the advantage of a social
inclusion and equal opportunities 2
-It is necessary to have a balanced number
of different levels in each group
- The weaker learners will have more
practice
- It enables teachers to engage the
talented ones to support the weaker
classmates once he/she has finished the
assigned task.
- It enables to foster the development of
co-operative skills

Type two:
setting
according to achievements:

This kind of grouping requires a diagnostic

test. For the time being it will comply to the
national exam type in English, the current
written test.

The shortcoming of such diagnostic test is

that it is not really accountable for being
organized after a long summer holiday .It is
based on academic achievement only.

It would be better to take into account

teachers evaluations of previous learners
attainment of the last school year, in foreign
languages.

 The advantage of such grouping is

that it enables the teacher to organise
the courses and plan activities
according to learners needs.
It enables to raise learner
achievement, better scores in tests .
It also allows students to gain
confidence and take risks, in terms of
attitude to learning : being in nearly
similar attainment category prevents
inhibition and negativefeeling due to
pressure of brighter students
Finally it can lessen behaviour
problems

Group work objectives throughout the

middle school cycle:

Four aspects are to be considered to

plan a group work syllabus
1 ) Communicative competency
and interaction
2) Language skills
3)Learning strategies
4)Social skills ( personal and
interpersonal)
