It was interesting to see the differences between the two videos. The first video was sour from the start, largely due to the teacher's attitude. He made students nervous and intimated by saying things like \"this is easy\" and \"anyone can do it.\" He also failed to explain different ideas such as modal auxiliary verbs. In the second video, the teacher...  [Read more]

In Video 1, the instructor made the students feel lost, confused and seemingly insulted by assuming that the lesson he was presenting was \"very easy\" and that \"anyone can do it\". He never actually introduced to the students what the particular lesson would be about by explaining it, nor giving them an example of what he was aiming for. This caused the students to not want to participate, and when they did,...  [Read more]

Present tense has a large amount of options, that you could spend a lot of time on just a few parts. I think in class application, I would have a lot of focus on Active stage of the class; I would get the class using these very often to get used one part before moving to another present tense variation. I would do this because, since there are so many parts, it presents the opportunity for confusion, which can lead to boredom. If I was...  [Read more]

I think it is important for me to really look at the idea of keeping students engaged, especially when some of them finish faster than others, and there are some lagging behind. What then? I can give the others worksheets to do and allow ample time without rushing anyone, but also balance my time...  [Read more]

It made me a little angry that he was so offhand and disrespectful to the students, repeating the word, \"easy\", and \"anyone can do it\" and waiting for answers that never came. That moment of dead silence is a nightmare for a teacher, as well, and he should have corrected his attitude and behavior right away to avoid the rest of the class going so badly. He had the students work individually in the first lesson, furthering the gap of misunderstanding...  [Read more]

  In this episode of Chantelle’s TEFL diary she takes us through her experiences with the second unit of her online TEFL course. Unit 2 of ITTT’s 120-hour TEFL course focuses on parts of speech; nouns, verbs, adjectives etc. As Chantelle points out in her video, having a basic understanding of the rules behind parts of speech is an important part of being an English teacher and is something that many native speakers of English take for granted. Although, as native speakers, we may instinctively know when and where to use the different parts of speech; understanding how to explain the rules to an English learner is a very different matter.
