The unit highlights the distinct differences between the two skills. Writing was especially interesting to me, and I can see how it would be one of the most difficult tasks for ESL students to learn. I know a lot of native speakers that STILL struggle with spelling in English, despite being college graduates. It can be a lot to remember. I agree, however, that reading is probably the best way to learn how to spell and write words in...  [Read more]

Understanding the 'why' of word usage can be empowering, as they will be able to build their own sentences. More complex sentence structures and word usage can be added slowly and using exercises or games, can provide a...  [Read more]

I sat tonight for a spell with a linguist specialist who majored in special education and sign language. We had a great conversation, and it couldn't have been more suitable given this unit. Some important parts I took from this unit include the difference between Listening and Speaking to Reading and Writing, which we covered in the previous unit. What I brought away was it is not about the letters we use, but the sounds we make. Certain letters and letter...  [Read more]

I've been associated with pronunciation in my teaching, but certainly not on this level. The emphasis on sounds, stress and articulation was very instructive, however the phonology, itself, was difficult. The phonetic symbols were quite tricky! I tend to think I may emphasize pronunciation issues as they arise in class, unless this is an area that needs special attention. In that case, I may choose to spontaneously embark on specific rules that pertain to the...  [Read more]

Thankfully, I found out some tips we can use to teach vocabulary effectively. I am going to discuss about the methods of using visual strategies, letting students look up the words and using context. Using flash cards, photos or mime can be good tools to teach new vocabulary. Students will have better time to understand meanings of the words. For example,...  [Read more]

  Whereas stress is typically concerned with one individual word, intonation is generally concerned with the variation in volume and pitch throughout an entire sentence. Intonation carries the message of a sentence. It's particularly important when questioning or agreeing, disagreeing and confirming statements. It's also very important when expressing emotions and feelings. The normal pattern for intonation is the rise-fall. Few examples would be ?I haven't seen him for a week,? or a simple word as ?okay?. With the falling intonation, we?re indicating that we're finished speaking. Again, ?I haven't seen him for a week? and ?okay?. A few more examples would be ?I'll see you at six then,? or a question of information ?How do you spell rough?? These are straightforward statements that...  [Read more]

This can involve rhythm, stress and intonation and can relay meaning behind a message rather than just the analysis...  [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]

Phonetics and TESOL Phonetics, the study of the sounds of human speech, and in particular “Articulatory Phonetics”, are not commonly taught to native speakers of English, let alone learners of English as a second language. However if the learner is serious with their English and wish to progress to an advanced level, learning phonetics, in particular the International Phonetic Alphabet, would be of immense benefit. English spelling is often contradictory, devoid of relation to the pronunciation of a word, and lacking in clear patterns. Patterns that do exist are numerous, with a large number of exceptions, and all of this makes it very difficult for the learner of English as a second language to master pronunciation. The International Phonetic Alphabet puts all of the individual...  [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]
