I had to study the section, and review it multiple times to ensure I was selecting the best answer. This isn't because I don't speak English properly, or that I don't know the information, but it has more to do with not having to explain why I speak or write English this way - I just do it. Interesting lesson...  [Read more]

Students will leave their comfort zone to evolve into a more interactive learner. In fact, I can safely attest to this from experience. For any course I took, the first day always involved a type of activity that introduces students to their classmates. It is even more important to do so for English learners due to the fact that they need to be able to contentedly and confidently speak in their non-native...  [Read more]

Though teachers may be able to assess their students throughout a teaching period, tests are commonly used at different stages in a course to offer an evaluation to both the teacher and the student.

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: In this unit, I learned about different parts of speech in the English language. As a native English speaker (who was born and grew up in the USA), I was amazed at all the different rules for various parts of speech. I didn't know many of the rules, even though I speak English extremely well. This leads me to think that English is a difficult language to learn. There are many exceptions, and most rules do not apply at all times with all words. It takes a lot of work to learn English well. After this...  [Read more]

Listening is the most important phase in order to get the crux of the language and this unit mainly discusses about listening and reading. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are...  [Read more]

I have been learning english since I was in preschool since the medium of instruction of the schools I went to was english. I have been reading mostly english books ever since I learned to read. Knowing how to speak it does not mean one can easily teach it. What I consider a challenge during this course...  [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: This Unit was tough but a great opportunity to reflect on the present tense while learning the past tense. I like that the tenses are separated because it gives your mind a chance to digest the materials. It's also great because you learn strategies for teaching this material to students. After reading the materials and watching the videos I feel prepared to teach a group of non-english speakers the past tense. I can understand why English can be difficult to learn because although I speak English,...  [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: For me, this unit emphasized the difficulty of pronouncing the English language, especially when starting from scratch. My takeaway is that speaking often with my students will naturally help them with this process, as well as creating safe spaces for them to speak and make mistakes (i.e. group repetition with some randomized single-ing out). As the poem in this unit illustrates, written material is not enough to teach proper pronunciation, and it seems possible that tools like the...  [Read more]

The tempo of the class might be slower, especially in the teacher's explanations and instructions. The idea is to have their students be successful - to speak english. Student participation may be requested more so with beginners because the teacher wants to know if his or her students are learning the language. As beginners participate, it is important to acknowledge them and praise - even if their language is incorrect, praise for trying...  [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: The first and most basic obligation of a teacher is to see the beauty that exists within every student. Every child is infinitely precious. When we start from this vantage point, classroom management -- and its flip side, student engagement -- comes more easily. It's an outgrowth of students feeling loved and respected. It?s fair to say, when it comes to managing a classroom, most of what we learn as new teachers is trial by fire. It's also smart to heed the advice of those who have walked --...  [Read more]

Motivating students to practice their speaking skills is very important. Therefore, it is important to create an atmosphere where the student does not feel threatened by criticism. Using the '3 X 3' drill where pronunciation is done in unison 3 times before the teacher calls on 3 students to pronounce the words is non-threatening. Also, during the Activate phase, the student is allowed to speak without correction. Writing skills are...  [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: It is important to pick topics of interest when teaching reading and listening because if a student is not interesting in the material it is easy for them to drift from the conversation. It is also important to use non-authentic texts as well as authentic texts because while authentic texts give students confidence in their skills, non-authentic texts will teach them to piece the text together based on what they do know.

We can start with two or three year olds all the way to workplace English for a specific purpose in which case the English teacher does not have to be a specialist because we are still at least 90% teaching English. It is important to understand all situations; the absolute, false, adult beginner, young beginner, without Roman alphabet, as they will all have special does and don'ts. Teaching individual one on one classes has a separate list of advantages and non...  [Read more]

Admittedly, as a native English speaker, I know how to automatically write and speak using the correct tenses, but explaining the reasons why, like any use of grammar is needed when teaching the subject of English to non-native English speakers.It is interesting to know that we can write but are grossly unable to coin and split our writing into...  [Read more]

The environment should remain relaxed and calm to ensure that all students feel comfortable with learning English. The teacher needs to make sure that they are not taking up too much air time as students should be talking to each other whenever possible. The teacher must speak to give an excellent Native English example at the level of the...  [Read more]
