I learned that there is a big difference between teaching adults and children. Adult students for example mostly choose to take English classes and therefore they might be more motivated and eager to learn a language, while youth students very often need to become motivated by the teacher with fun, games and frequent changing activities....  [Read more]

The GPOE paid teachers more if they had a TEFL or TESOL certificate but it was not mandatory to have one. This past year the GPOE required that non-english majors or people without a teaching license from their home country have a TEFL certificate.

K. – U.S.A. said: This course has especially helped me out in two areas: lesson planning and grammar. Both of those areas of teaching were things that I didn’t take seriously enough while teaching the past three years. For lesson planning, I’d usually rely on my Korean co-teachers to plan the lessons and tell me what I should do. When I had no co-teachers, I’d either follow the textbook or go to class with a half-put together plan and if the plan wasn’t adequate, I would just kill for time. ...  [Read more]

I was able to, step by step, analyze what my strengths and...  [Read more]

I have become much more aware of my everyday english pronunciation and writing. There were many times where I felt frustrated and confused by my own language, therefore, I think I can use this experience to understand the...  [Read more]

This is useful in guiding future lessons to meet their needs. It's also important for students to be more self aware through these evaluations and it can be encouraging to see test results that demonstrate how much progress they have made. Testing can take...  [Read more]

I like the idea of going over difficult words and concepts at the start to better help the students appreciate the reading material. This part of the teaching process will take some careful planning on the part of the teacher to tailor the reading to the level of the students. But I can see that it will really help them as reading a short story creates interest and helps improve language skills. I recently learned French and didn't have the chance to...  [Read more]

  Our next consideration is that of giving instructions to our students. In order for those students to effectively carry out an activity, we need to make sure we have given clear and unambiguous instructions. It's also very important to check that the students understand the activity before you start. If you've done that work correctly then the teacher shouldn't need to say anything once an activity has started because the students are very clear about what they're supposed to be doing. So some ideas when giving instructions. As we've mentioned use simple language. Secondly, rather than trying to explain an activity, then do a demonstration which is visual. Thirdly, try to use wherever possible common words that come up within every activity. These would be things like ?look?,...  [Read more]

business English The study of business English relates specifically to learning and improving English ability for use in international trade. It is studied by non-native speakers who wish to communicate with companies in English speaking countries. In addition, it is used between non-native speaking companies who communicate using English as a shared second language. In principle, the same structures are used to teach business English as other areas of TESOL teaching. However, the contexts and vocabulary will differ. Areas of vocabulary will vary depending on the needs of the student but will generally fall into the region of general business vocabulary, trade, finance and international relations. Besides specific vocabulary, there is often a focus on communications skills...  [Read more]

ESA: A Teaching Methodology For many years Teachers of English have used the PPP model of Presentation, Practice and Production for the preferred model of teaching. It has worked well. The PPP model falls short however, in that it does not work well when teaching more complex language problems beyond the sentence level or when teaching communicative skills. Jeremy Harmer in How to Teach English (Longman Publishing 1998) proposed an alternative to PPP called ESA: Engage, Study, and Activate. In an article written in The Guardian Weekend, March 15 1997, Bridget Riley complained about the treatment she and her fellow students received at the Royal College of Art. “We were abandoned when what we needed and what we hoped for was help toward independence in teaching rather than having...  [Read more]

Should Students Be Allowed to Use Their Native Language in the Classroom When I first began teaching lessons during the TESOL Course I found myself almost automatically saying to the students, “English please,” after all it is an English class. However, I began to question myself about whether or not this was “correct” practice or if the students should in fact use their native language to assist them in the learning process. After doing some research I found the TESOL Law Code of Ethics. The Law of Ethics provided many vague and open-ended ideas. It suggested things along the lines of, “The foreign language teacher shall direct her whole professional effort to assist the students to develop his/her second language speaking ability.” It also mentions that TESOL teachers are to...  [Read more]

Problems for learners in a Country of your choice: Italy In this paper I will address the issues I face as a teacher from the context of living and working in Italy, as well as the common problems my students encounter while learning and speaking English. I also want to draw attention to the input culture and society has on language, and look at how these factors influence dynamics within the classroom. Of course, it is nearly impossible to view ones self outside your own given cultural perspective, so as a result of this I will also be discussing my own assumptions on how I "imagined" people might act, compared to the reality of the situation. Often I neglect to take into account these differences, simply because I was raised in America, where I am used to a different set of cultural...  [Read more]

I was born into a bilingual home in the united states, with my father speaking primarily english and my mother speaking spanish. She had moved to this country from Mexico only a few years before, so her form of communication was almost exclusively spanish. Since she was the main caretaker while my father worked, it’s likely that I was exposed to as much, if not...  [Read more]
