In the first video, the teacher is very cold and his body language isn't good. By doing this, his students don't want to really interact for fear of being embarrassed. In the second video, the same teachers does the same lesson but this time he is very cheerful and welcoming to the students. The students then feel more comfortable and want to do the lesson.

There are many things, as a native english speaker, which I do subconsciously. I learned a lot about the english language that I might have never learned in school. I will keep this in mind when I am in front of the classroom because learning the language will be much more difficult for new learners.

Lots of memories came to mind, especially the first video was painful really as students were puzzled and made me want to shout at the teacher \"stop it right now, can't you see that you are hurting them?\". It must have been hard for that teacher to pretend to be so mean to them. It happens though, that you meet a teacher that does know rules and grammar but he doesn't know how it feels like to...  [Read more]

The more you plan the easier it is to identify what you want to teach and how you want to teach it. A lesson plan has to be flexible and needs a structure to be able to know what to teach now and then. Very rigid lesson plans end up in lots of writing and planning but no action. I do have to make a comment on this unit. Your lesson plan was a little confusing. The lay-out was too...  [Read more]

This is ironic in that there was a time, in another life, when it was so much easier and faster to memorize pages of facts without having to really think or reason things out. Fascinating how things evolve and change. That said, I do realize these rules are essential to the proper use of language.In this lesson I particularly learned that...  [Read more]

I liked watching the videos and I thought they were really helpful in illustrating a clear picture of what to do, and what not to do as an English teacher. The first video was the ineffective lesson demonstration. I found it interesting that the result of the teacher having a bad attitude and being totally unfriendly was that about ninety percent of the lesson ended up being...  [Read more]

  Connected speech is also an important element of phonology and it's involved in joining words together in an effect to make our speech more efficient. Some might say it's a product of being lazy but nonetheless it's what we all do and we want all of our non-native speakers to speak as naturally as possible, so we have to be aware of these things. Here are a few of the more common examples. We have linking, dropping, changing and extra lettering. An example of each would be with linking, we link our words together so that they almost in effect become one word. Instead of saying ?What do you want to do,? we typically will say ?Whatdoyou want to do?? Then, we can also have dropping. Rather than pronouncing each and every consonant, we can sometimes, especially in certain accents,...  [Read more]

I don't need to write down a formal lesson plan, except for test and the application for a program like mine. I learned that it's ok to just jot down notes as I do.
