After watching both videos it really became clear how the attitude of a teacher sets the atmosphere of the entire classroom, either negatively or positively. I noted the fact that the engage phase in lesson two was much more enjoyable and didn't place pressure on the students. The teacher in lesson two used great examples and gestures relevant to the students that elicited better responses rather than in lesson one. Never...  [Read more]

Students' grades will always tell you how they are doing in their English classes. You will know if your performance is working out for you or not. When a student fails a test, there might be lots of reasons that might be out of your range of knowledge. When more than 5 or 6 students fail a test; that output tells you that your teaching is not being effective enough. Then that assessment process spins around...  [Read more]

First, it has been several years since I have focused intensely on the parts of speech in English. It was helpful to go back and re-examine the 8-9 parts in order to refresh my memory. This will assist me in being able to better breakdown the parts of speech for my students. Secondly, the ideas for practicing adverbs were helpful in challenging me to begin thinking of creative ways to teach any level of ESL students. Lastly, even though I have had good...  [Read more]

Semi-auxiliary verbs include: have to, have got to, need to, needn't, and ought to....  [Read more]

And adding transitive and intransitive only seem to increase the confusion when trying to implement Phrasal verbs. And the different meanings and how words could be used in Obligation, Possibility, Permission, Ability and Advice require memorization and practice to understand.This unit looks at the use...  [Read more]

Hearing someone say it aloud is much more helpful than trying to grasp understanding through reading and memorization. What helped was that the present tense had already been drilled into my head and I was able to recall the simple structures of each one. Reinforcement of the auxiliary verbs (do, be, have) in these units furthers my confidence when I can recall them right away.This unit covered the topic of...  [Read more]

I note that when it provides a list of the aspects that the students need to know about a vocabulary item, spelling and pronunciation appear at the bottom of the list. In my review, these items should be listed at the beginning. As spelling and pronunciation are just like the look and the sound of a word, which should be the starting points for students, especially EST students to learn a word.This lesson about teaching...  [Read more]

By using the verb to decide whether it is continuous or perfect and seeing the relationship with the auxiliary verb to see whether it could be classed as simple or perfect, after to combine the categories if needed. For example, 'James had ran' 'ran' being a irregular past verb and 'had' would be past perfect tense.This unit looks at the...  [Read more]
