The one of took before THIS course actually left me very confused at a lot of things with grammar (and I love teaching grammar.) However, I was happy to find that the video and reading for this unit really helped me understand some questions I had. For example, I have a hard time with verbs sometimes because of the difference between past simple and past participle. I also struggle with transitive and intransitive....  [Read more]

The worksheets gave me the practice I needed in grammar and they made me realize exactly when and why I needed to go over certain topics a second time. Another positive aspect of the course is having an online tutor to help out and review any weaknesses or misunderstandings along the way. I can safely say that my grammar has been refreshed and...  [Read more]

It covered everything from teacher body language, to seating arrangements, and even to handling discipline problems. What I learned is that it is important for the teacher to be both an authority figure and an approachable resource. The seating arrangements also play a key role, in terms of both the formation of desks to which student is sitting next to whom. The overall goal is to make the classroom a comfortable, yet...  [Read more]

In addition to stress, rhythm and intonation, the unit also covers the phonemic alphabet and how to articulate them. I found this unit useful for me because most of my current students' native language differs significantly from English and have much difficulty with certain English sounds. I have found that intonation is often learnt intuitively particularly when there is ongoing conversation with native speakers or listening to much English...  [Read more]

The reason for this is because children haven't had their minds filled with as many language experiences as an adult. I tell my fellow teachers not to limit the mind of a chilkd because their minds are like a blank computer just waiting to be programmed. Adult students seem to be somewhat more difficult to teach because they have soent their lifetime pronouncing words a...  [Read more]

As a teacher, I love to have lesson plans because it serves as a reminder when I feel lost during a lesson. In particular, the lesson plan structure provided in the unit is a lot more detailed and hence, in my opinion, is the best.This chapter is about teaching special groups, which includes teaching teaching individual students, teaching...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: Classroom management is very important to me because the more efficient one can manage the class, the less time and energy is required or wasted. I find that some of the most unsuccessful classes are the ones that have poor classroom management and so, too much time and effort is spent on discipline rather than engaging interest and excitement for learning. I found the subtle uses of gestures (posture), voice, and use of eyes can be very powerful and effective without having to lose one's temper...  [Read more]

My speaking classes involves a lot of games, pair work and group work activity. I find students love to get involve in speaking when they don't feel any pressure at all ad when they think it's really fun. So activities such as dividing students into teams and competing works very well. For writing I don't really agree that giving it as homework is not a good idea because it gives students...  [Read more]

Within the speaking skills we have both accuracy activities and fluency activities, and both are equally important. It makes sense that the accuracy activities would take place during the study phase, and the fluency activities would take place in the activate phase where they can get creative with the language they are learning. I like the lesson idea for writing because I can imagine it being difficult to...  [Read more]

After reading through the unit, I came to the conclusion that I would love to teach young leaners/children. As stated in the unit, this would be the most reward path because learning english was not by choice. So taking a group with no knowledge of the english language, helping them to get a...  [Read more]

I never thought of using songs for teaching how students would use the future simple. This is ironic since I'm a music teacher and I love to incorporate music in anything I do. I can see a lot of my students having difficulty figuring out what tense a sentence is in. That's because I had a bit of difficulty and I speak English! For this area of study, I believe that I will need to spend a lot of time teaching...  [Read more]

The course book can aid to keep the learner and the teacher on a well developed and organized path. Using a course book becomes problematic on the learning experience when the teacher relies to heavily on the book and does not do...  [Read more]

I had never before considered the different types of conditionals used in the English Language and am happy I did, as I'm sure it will be difficult for new students to grasp. The mixed conditional was particularly confusing as it seemed to break some of the rules the other conditionals follow.Being a teacher is not only about teaching the subjects or the lessons it's also about how you manage the class and how...  [Read more]

The possible problems that could be encountered were also helpful to note down for future. In the 'teaching children' section, a statement was made about boredom in the class being the teachers fault. I do not agree. Being a teacher means teaching 8 to 10 lessons a day, having a certain...  [Read more]

There are some the love the concept and some that hate it. I fall into the latter category. A phonetics chart is a ridiculous waste of time in today's classroom. For it to be effective, the teaching style needs to be reiterated and covered at every step of the learning process. It is not. It takes an immense amount of time to explain the process and then it is immediately irrelevant because of local dialect and pronunciation. There are many more...  [Read more]

This is obviously a very successful way of teaching due to the flexible nature of the activities. You can really engage your students in different ways from doing a presentation or just filling in a word search.
