It was difficult to see the application of the contents, but after carefully examining the guidelines, rules and examples it became clear.

Conveying a sentence in a certain way, of which there are several different undertones of meaning, is difficult to master but will come naturally once a learner is familiar and confident with the use of auxiliary verbs. Passive and...  [Read more]

This unit focused mostly on the various types of ESL beginners and Business English students. It had a large list of DOs and DONTs when teaching Beginners, which is very important when exposing a group of beginners to a new language. I was able to relate this unit to an experience teaching beginner children last summer. I would have liked to see different ways to aid students who experience stress outside of the classroom in their lives. At...  [Read more]

I saw that older equipment such as cassettes and over head projectors were referred to and could still be useful to have in the classroom even with the advancement of modern technology. The use of video is something I would find useful in the classroom, as students can look back on themselves acting out roleplays and hear themselves speak English. With the more advanced technology, it would be important that everyone who uses it as a...  [Read more]

I personally felt that the needs analysis form mentioned for adults is a very helpful form for gauging individual students? needs too.

Also, I suggest that, when talking about \"warmer\" activities (engaging students), perhaps this course should discuss how such activities relate to homework checking; in my previous school the students checked homework together in pairs, with the teacher looking on. In essence, it was a warmer as well as a review activity (if...  [Read more]

Irrespective of its nature, new knowledge should always be introduced in a more scientific and systematic way. Although all should follow the basic ESA flow, from my own perspective, the study phase should be placed with a higher priority for new vocabulary and Grammar study, whilst the language function training should focus more on activate. Some great new ideas that I learnt from this unit are production task...  [Read more]

These 'special groups' include Beginners, Individual Students, Children, and Business English.

When considering teaching speaking skills, the instructor must pay attention to accuracy and fluency and in which phase of the lesson each should be focused on; accuracy should be more so focused on in the study phase, while fluency should be focused on in the activate phase. And in teaching writing skills, the instructor should discuss the importance of handwriting, spelling, and punctuation. I have thought of two more games that...  [Read more]
