Depending on how a sentence is finished with a rising or falling tone indicates whether no not the speaker is done speaking, and if the speaker wants a response or not.

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. I still find very hard to differentiate between intonation, rhythm and stress because they all depend on the what we want to...  [Read more]

The basic rules of why it was used was simple enough that I went through it quick and actually answered the questions on page 4 as I was reading through the unit.

However, it does seem overwhelming because of all the options available. It may be overwhelming to both teachers and students to really guide and choose which external exam would be best. Of course, if a teacher has been working with a particular student for a long time, they might have a sense of which exam their student could possibly pass.

However, native speakers may not notice catering features in English pronunciation because they are too used to it. It's hard to hear things such as the fall or rise of speech, particularly at the end of sentences. This unit...  [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: Conditionals and reported speech can be very tricky to both teach and learn. Conditionals are tricky, because it's not always easy to decide which one to use when, while mixed conditionals can be hard to spot. The reason for reported speech being hard to teach/learn are many changes in tenses and pronouns that have to occur in order to convey a correct meaning of the original statement. I will find it particularly challenging to teach reported speech, because it is necessary for all students to...  [Read more]

It would be nice to talk about all the problems combined because I'm sure it is very hard for a new teacher to distinguish, let alone try to balance the classroom dynamics. This can be all extra potentially problematic...  [Read more]

With this lesson, I found that my ability to remember the different structures of simple (past and present), perfect, and continuous is greatly improving. With the past, figuring out what happened or was finished first, and then if it is or may be continuing, or refers to a definite or indefinite time, can be mind boggling.
