  And now we have our nasal sounds. There are three nasal sounds and basically the pattern of air that's moving out of our vocal tract has to do with two big instances and that is a closure in the vocal tract. Except aside from the plosives and affricates, what we have is air escaping through our nasal cavity. These sounds include ?m?, ?n? and ?ng?. We're moving from the front of the mouth to the back of the mouth. First with the M sound or the ?m?, we're closing both lips and the air is escaping through the nasal passage ?m?. Next we have our N sound or our ?n? sound. There, the closure is inside the mouth but our tongue is closing up near our alveolar ridge and the air is escaping through the nose. Again that's ?n?. Finally we have our NG sound and the closure there is happening...  [Read more]

  Then, we have a set of objectives and aims. Here, the learner objectives relate to what we're hoping the students are going to be able to do by the end of your lesson and quite often, that can be a useful way of writing out what the objectives are. So, we would start the sentence "By the end of the lesson, students should be able to?" and then a list of two, three or four items that we're expecting the students to be able to do by completing this lesson. The learner objectives are different to the teacher aims the teacher aims are what you are expecting from that lesson itself. Now, when you first start teaching, quite a normal aim might be to complete the lesson successfully, to get through the whole thing without having any problems. As time goes on and you become more...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: Unit 10 consists of two videos of a lesson on the modal auxiliary verb can/can't using animal vocabulary. The second video demonstrates how a teacher's attitude, use of gestures and images, and interaction with students can greatly improve the students' experience and understanding of a lesson. The first video gives examples of mistakes a teacher can make, primarily issues of poor direction and a lack of engagement with the students, whether it is through not knowing their names, talking at...  [Read more]

We do them either for a purpose or for entertainment. However, sometimes we will have reasons that will include both. When we read or listen, we can employ certain specialist skills to gather and understand the information such as predictive skills, scanning, skimming, detailed information, deduction from context. Also, as a teacher, it?s important to choose appropriate topics for the students. It must be a topic that isn?t too easy but isn?t too...  [Read more]

I am aware that those are probably the 3 most difficult units to teach to students that are below the upper intermediate level of English learning. When you live in a non english speaking country, it can be very difficult to know exactly when to use the conditionals or the reported speech, so it is going to be a good challenge for me...  [Read more]

We can not only use introduction prompts or partner information share, but also we can play many games during the engage phase. In this unit, it introduced many kinds of games, for example, Fizz-buzz, memory games, word linking. We need to adapt different activity to different language levels.

It is important that your lesson plan is flexible and you don?t hold on to it like a crutch. You need should write your lesson plan in a style that fits you and make sure you can quickly glance at it to see how you are doing and how much more you have to do. The most...  [Read more]

It explains step-by-step how to build a lesson plan, considering the learner objectives and the teacher aims. It highlights some of the difficulties that might arise while teaching the lesson and to focus on thinking of those and their solutions in...  [Read more]

This unit gave me ample knowledge of how students learn, and how I, as a teacher, can facilitate their learning process. I would now feel comfortable with planning a lesson for any of the methods covered in the unit, but I'm especially interested in the most modern ESA technique. This melting pot of methodology is really effective and I've seen my former teachers use it first hand. It...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: This unit talks about course books and how they should be used/supplemented. This was another area that seemed outdated to me (casettes?), but I know that textbooks are still a vital part of day to day classroom operations. It also seemed to be repeating a lot of information, such as authentic and created materials. I don't think I'll have much of a choice about what textbook I use, but it is useful to think about what kinds of activities I might use from it as well as additional activities I create...  [Read more]

Letting your temper and frustration show is really disheartening for students, not to mention intimidating. The second video showcased an excellent lesson plan that was appropriate for the class. I hope to use that lesson plan one day when teaching the verb can and can not. I did something similar with relative clause 'An animal that is/which is...'. The videos in this unit helped to visualize some of the...  [Read more]
