Do I Want To Become A Teacher

  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.

I believe this has been one of the hardest units so far because it teaches phonetical structures that as the chapter indicates are very hard to grasp, especially when you are just reading them.

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]

Teaching one-to-one Teaching English as a foreign language can be done one of two ways: teaching a group of students or by teaching on a one-to-one basis. It’s estimated that up to 40% of TESOL teaching is done one-to-one, however teachers find it increasingly difficult to find relevant material, advice and assistance on the method. Nicola Meldrum argues that teaching one-to-one “unfortunately is not covered much in ELT discussion” and that ‘It is somehow assumed that teaching English as a foreign language means organizing huge groups of students, while the reality is that one to one is a normal and significant part of our teaching lives”. Teachers are in effect left to their own devices; however this doesn’t stop the concept of teaching one-to-one being an effective and...  [Read more]

They become a plan to be used if someone else needs to cover the lesson. Two areas that need to be covered in all...  [Read more]
