Each of these a has four aspects; simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous. I think this is a really easy way to look at and understand the different English language tenses. In the rest of the unit we looked at the present simple, present...  [Read more]

I didn't realize before how complicated the future tense must be to learn how to use properly. What I found especially useful was the breakdown this time, of how the sentences are formed. For example, I can now recognize a future perfect continuous sentence because I know that the structure of one is will+have+been+verb+ing. This makes it much easier to tell apart from especially the future continuous sentence structure which is...  [Read more]

Having taught students based on brute force, mother’s instinct, and an energetic personality, taking the course has been a much need, long over-overdue, and welcomed process. Specifically I have gained significant understanding and...  [Read more]

Songs in the Classroom The use of songs in the ESL classroom can be a fun and innovative way of covering a range of English language topics. Songs can be used for vocabulary, grammar, dictation, pronunciation (stress and intonation), phonetics, speaking, writing, listening, integrative skills, and many other ESL points. Furthermore, songs can invite the non-native speaker into the English speaking culture. For instance, pop music gives the learner a taste of what is trendy at the moment. Meanwhile, the lyrics to classic rock songs can give a sense of history and the attitude of the country at the time of recording (for example, “Give Peace a Chance,” John Lennon, 1969). Additionally, children’s songs are crucially important for the young learner as they are an easy way to encourage...  [Read more]
