Khmer Lessons

  Hello. This presentation is going to cover this section on lesson planning and what we're going to do is to have a look as to why we go about planning a lesson, what do we actually put in it? We'll create an empty lesson plan pro-forma and then having done that what we'll do is to fill in that lesson plan for a particular teaching point. So, our starting position is going to be: "Why do we plan lessons at all?" There are a number of reasons why we need to plan a lesson. The first and foremost perhaps is that it's going to create a logical sequence for our lessons. If we didn't have a lesson plan, it is quite possible that we could go all over the place and it would become confusing for the students. By having this plan, what we've created is a structure that we can work from. So,...  [Read more]

  This particular methodology is known as a straight arrow ESA lesson. If every single lesson that we undertook with our students was a straight arrow ESA lesson then it is quite possible that the students would be able to predict what is going to come up next and whilst this is good for the lower level students, then it could potentially become a little bit boring for our higher level students. So what Harmer did in his ideas about ESA, was to generate two other types of ESA lesson that we can use to try and generate a little bit more interest. So, the other two types of ESA lesson that we can follow: The first is known as a boomerang lesson and the second is known as a patchwork lesson and what we're going to do is to have a look at those other types of ESA lesson in a little bit...  [Read more]

I started my ESL career as a scholarship student in another country, so I had to learn as I went. That experience made me learn very quickly, but I was missing the fine elements of teaching that this course provided. Even now, as I teach the same students from before I took this class, I can tell that I am a more effective teacher and more aware of what I am doing in class. I know that this awareness will...  [Read more]

{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ [ ] ] } Why do we plan ESL lessons? This is a very important question as the answers to it will suggest what a lesson plan ought to contain. A few of the reasons we plan lessons could include: i) To provide a structure to our lessons ii) To provide a record of what has been taught iii) To easily cross reference against any syllabus requirements of the course being taught The second and third points are very useful to ensure we have covered all the requirements of a course as the plans, as a group, give a permanent record of what has been taught. The first point is perhaps the most important as the plan will be an outline of how the lesson is expected to take place. Before we get to an...  [Read more]

  Before we go into looking at the actual receptive skills lesson, if we were thinking about what potential problems there could be in these lessons. So, what things could go wrong in a reading lesson? Well, firstly the students when they are reading in a language that is not their native language, they tend to read every word as a separate piece and by reading word to word it?s very difficult to get an overall impression of what that particular text is saying. Secondly, the sentence length in a lot of articles that we will get will be very long and many of our students will not be used to that structure of language. So, here it's important to have a think about the way in which the text has actually been written and will it be fairly easy to read. The final thing is the actual...  [Read more]

  So, we'll focus first of all on a speaking skills lesson and perhaps a starting point for this would be to ask a question which is: Why do we speak to each other? The reason that it's important to ask ourselves this question is that whatever answers there are to this should be present in our lessons. So, why do we speak to each other? Well, there are a multitude of answers to that but when you boil them all down to their essence, they probably actually come down to one or two things. We communicate to each other by speaking because of either a need. We need something. We want something or a desire to achieve something. Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into...  [Read more]

K. - Japan said: In total, I have learned to rethink purpose and variation in the classroom. As teachers, everything we do must be purposeful because it has an effect on the classroom environment, attitudes and motivation, effective understanding, perceived and/or real fairness, a balance between what skills are presented, how students understand their role and the teacher’s role, and participation. All of this affects learning. So, the teacher’s attitude toward teaching and interacting in the...  [Read more]

Another thing is that although native english speakers can communicate in english, there is a great deal to be learned on how to teach it to english learners.

Both of those areas of teaching were things that I didn’t take seriously enough while teaching the past three years. For lesson planning, I’d usually rely on my Korean co-teachers to plan the lessons and tell me what I should do. When I had no co-teachers, I’d either follow the textbook or go to class with a half-put together plan and if the plan wasn’t adequate, I would just kill for time. ...  [Read more]

So first and foremost, I’ve gained knowledge about the different verb tenses, how the tenses are constructed, and how they are disparate or similar. I’ve also gained an...  [Read more]
