Of the grammar units in this course, this one was one of the more challenging. There are subtleties to these parts of English that will be initially lost on newer students. I appreciated that this unit came at the end because the other grammar lessons built on the information in it. One of the definite challenges in teaching this will be, no doubt, being able to define the terms in a simplified, clear way that doesn't come across...  [Read more]

The best and the most useful part of the lesson to y idea was the methods and techniques of teaching pronunciation, which I will surly put in practice in...  [Read more]

I feel like I will have to ask a few questions and read the chapter again. I enjoyed looking at the phonetic alphabet although I found it a bit confusing because I have never taken a class on it. Once I read the chapter a few times I started understanding it a little more. I liked the ideas of how to teach the class correct...  [Read more]

An example is if the verb 'to be' is used in the present it will be present continuous, if the verb 'to be' is used in the past it will be the past continuous and this applies for past perfect and past perfect continuous. So if one keeps a calm head and apply one set of principles to three different tenses (past, present and...  [Read more]

Learning Teaching Skills Teaching is a challenging job not only because of the bulk of responsibility of training the students to be academically able but also because of the fact that somehow, we are expected to take part in preparing them to be socially and emotionally stable. In class, how can we let the students recognize that it is not just the quantity of instruction that is essential but they, themselves are? What skills should we learn as teachers so that we can meet this challenge that is put onto our hands? The following ideas have been tried, proven, and practical teaching techniques that may answer the above concern. Utilizing the above teaching skills demonstrates the goal of authentic teachers: that they “… teach from the heart not from the book.” (author unknown)...  [Read more]

New Technology in the Classroom Just 20 years ago, cell phones, internet, laptops and digital cameras, to list a few, were restricted to scientists and the science fiction world. Today, these technologies have gained public acceptance and it is almost impossible to imagine our lives without them! It is clear that, in today’s Digital Era, students must learn how to use technology to live, learn and work successfully. As teachers, we hear the call to provide our students with the skills and access to technology they require as citizens of the information and communication age we live in. As a consequence, we have ended up adding one more duty to our list: “The development and use of new educational technologies in our classrooms.” We are constantly exploring ways of incorporating...  [Read more]

G. - France said: I have gained enormous knowledge of teaching skills from this course and also self-assurance and confidence. When I began the course I must say that I was quite surprised by the pedagogical side of it as I had imagined that the course would include more of the english language. As I’m english myself, I thought it would just be revising more or less what I had learnt at school many years ago!! It was explained in one of the units that the course only covered a certain amount of grammar...  [Read more]

Seating Arrangements in the Classroom Choosing a seating arrangement for a classroom is one of the most important decisions a teacher can make. The proper plan can facilitate the learning process, while a poor choice can all but render a lesson a failure. Nicole Cusik wrote a research paper about the implications of classroom arrangement for her Instructional Strategies and Reflections class at the University of Delaware. This paper can be found at. Her main point states that a teacher needs “to be sensitive to the learning objective of the lesson, as well as the interpersonal dynamic that exists among the students in the group.” There are several options when it comes to arranging a class, including rows, circles, clusters, activity zones, and pairs. Each can work well in some...  [Read more]

The teacher needs to consider and realize all these contributing factors and adopt various roles and methodologies to promote learning. Teaching students in a language other than their mother tongue presents a greater challenge for the teacher as he/she cannot rely merely on spoken words for explanation, but has to apply a more visual teaching approach. Thus the EFL...  [Read more]

If the teacher appears to be unmotivated then immediately the students will become disengaged. If the students become disengaged they have the potential to become disruptive which can lead to further problems down the line and as a consequence other members of the class losing their confidence in the teacher’s ability. Students’ confidence in a teacher is an essential...  [Read more]

Using Drama to Teach English as a Foreign Language This brief article will highlight what is meant by the term ‘drama’ before moving onto look at why drama is a ‘…very effective weapon ‘(Boal, 1979:ix) in the classroom. It will then add to this information a number of influential factors that will demonstrate why drama should be considered as key strategy in teaching English as a Foreign Language. Drama holds an array of interpretation and definition. For the purpose of this article I refer to drama as a process of learning and adhere to Booths description that ‘In its broadest term drama covers a wide range of techniques which incorporate interaction, movement, vocal action and mental concentration’ (Booth). In this sense ‘Drama’ is not about creating a spectacle or...  [Read more]

In understanding the difference between ESL and EFL teaching, it is helpful to note that ESL teaching usually involves a group of multilingual students living in the country of the ‘target’ language (which, in this case, would be english). EFL...  [Read more]

A teacher’s time with their students is a precious thing and it is important to maximize it so the students get as much as possible from the lesson. There are many things that can detract from the time spent studying english in the classroom and it is important that teachers know how to minimize the possibility for distraction.

Building Confidence in Students Education is certainly the birthright of all people. The motivation of every nation should be to generate literate, well-educated and intelligent residents who are able to add to the proper progress and progress of the whole society. There is still mystery on how accurately a foreign language is learnt. On the subject of building confidence there are yet more theories which are even more difficult to confirm. I myself do not trust that confidence is built using one magic activity, but rather it is continuously acquired all over the learning process. That’s why, all the theories I pick to focus on three things Grammar, Drilling, and of course the role of the teacher. All of these will prepare the student for circumstances they might meet later.

Australia and New Zealand constitute a large geographic area encompassing a huge variety of climates, topography and environments. The most immediately striking thing to the visitor is that the seasons are the reverse of those experienced by the northern hemisphere. The other curiosity is that water goes down the plughole the other way around. That not the only thing that’s unusual ‘down under’. Indeed, one is dealing with an entirely new world, only recently populated by non-indigenous peoples. There is an enterprising air about the new world, as well as a ‘can do’ attitude. With this said, people never hesitate to set aside their work worries in favour of ripping the scab off a few tubes, and getting the barbeque going on the beach; and a jolly fine time can be had by all....  [Read more]
