As a teacher, it important to be organized and have a goal (or sequence - a series of goals) for both yourself and the students. However, it is equally important to be flexible, as things in the classroom won't always go as planned. Sometimes students will really enjoy an activity and you'll want to extend the allotted time given to that particular activity. Other times, an activity may flop. Perhaps the next time you teach that lesson, you will...  [Read more]

In our everyday conversations, native English speakers are often unaware of the various parts of speech we are actually using and why. However, an English teacher must have a firm grasp on the elements of grammar. From personal experience, I know how hard it can be to give an adequate answer to a student who wishes to hear a more detailed explanation of why we're implementing the parts of speech we do in a lesson. The content in this unit was an...  [Read more]

The content mentioned in this lesson is very true. Beginner teachers may mistake students poor participation as a fault of their own. However, a lot of students in the country I teach in are worried about losing face by making a mistake in front of the others. It is important that we understand the cultural differences and the repercussions that follow in the classroom. I really never thought of placing the difference between accuracy and...  [Read more]

Future continuous is used for actions in progress at a later time, while future perfect is used for actions still in progress at the future point. Future perfect continuous example: \"He will have been driving for two hours by the time he gets to...  [Read more]

What can be clear to see throughout this section is that there is no perfect way to teach it. However, one element that allows for a great amount of variation throughout is ESA which teaches teachers to go through the structure of Engage, study and Activate. All three of these elements should be included throughout the lesson plan to keep the students engaged. All of the elements involved can be invoked through several...  [Read more]

First lesson is really crucial to establish a good rapport. The teacher can use warmers (hangman, pictionary, memory games, etc) to warm up instead of handling them grammar. In terms of teaching different level, the teacher must prepare various materials based on stronger adn weaker students' knowledge and give them equal attention. Teaching large classes is not easy.

I took a college-level linguistics class that I struggled with, despite English being my native tongue. With all of this in mind, as a teacher we need to understand the importance of phonetics and vow to teach it in our classrooms. With these types of lessons, a teacher must be increasingly clear and patient with students. Bringing games, models and tongue twisters to...  [Read more]

I also found the lean towards British English a little difficult at times because British and American English have different pronunciations of some words. This unit covers how the mouth and tongue are used during speech as well as how the international phonemic alphabet can be used for students. I know when I begin to teach students...  [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]
