The unit stressed that lesson plans are used as tools to support the teacher in the classroom, and should not be used rigidly. Teachers should be flexible and respond to the needs of the students, in the present. If a problem arises or the lesson needs to diverge from the plan, then the teacher should not follow their premeditated plan exclusively. The piece of advice I want to implement in my own lesson plans is to add \"Personal...  [Read more]

I found this unit quite similar to the other two tenses units: present tense and past tense. This being as they have a basic structure which is the same throughout the three units. The concept of seven different future tenses is a challenging one to grasp but I am now able to analyse my own conversations with friends and family and place these sentences being said...  [Read more]

There are many useful and interesting game ideas, as well as more interactive study methods for the students. When and how often to correct students is a very delicate thing. The best is when the student can correct themselves but has just spoken too quickly to think of all the grammar. I will be using the correction ideas in my current lessons.Unit 9's topic of Lesson Planning covered a...  [Read more]

I'm really see that I have been using English glibly with out really knowing or understanding what I am saying or why I'm saying what I'm saying. I'm seeing that I'm taking my language for granted and that I have a lot to learn, especially in the future tense, so that I can then share it with my students.This unit dealt with the present tense.

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 has helped me to get a grasp on a few of the harder parts of English grammar. For example, when to use \"the\" before a noun. I was rather surprised by the fact that the definite article \"the\" cannot be used before certain proper nouns but must be used before others. These rules seem rather arbitrary (e.g., use \"the\" before names of rivers, oceans, and seas, but not before lakes and bays), and knowing which parts of English grammar are more arbitrary and difficult will...  [Read more]

Most schools will have some kind of board to work on, and board work should be planned by the teacher ahead of time, and should be organized to suit the needs of the students. Well funded schools will likely have teaching resources to match the technologically advancing times, but a teacher cannot...  [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: Testing is a very important part of teaching, but it is also the most stressful for students (at least me anyway). Testing is a necessary evil, but I think we could improve on the way we test students. I feel as if testing is just a test of memorization. Instead of knowledge of the actual language. On the other hand, learning a language is sometimes a matter of simply memorizing words. We have a lot to improve but maybe we'll get there someday.Speaking and writing are productive skills where...  [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 enlightening to think more about how I might pick specific objectives or topics to cover in one lesson. It is hard to think about how to begin to break up something as big as a language into bite sized pieces that you can go over just one thing in one lesson. I liked that this helped me to see how to do that. I might have a lesson on vocabulary around a topic first. Then have a lesson about how to use those words into a grammatical structure. Or maybe have a lesson using those...  [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: Unit 9 was all about lesson planning. One thought is too much lesson planning can make the class teacher-centered and no room for adjusting to the individual class and students. Then again, no planning makes it easy to get far off-subject. Therefore, a happy medium needs to be found when planning, with room for movement. The lesson should be written down briefly with a general idea what you will be discussing. Details about the activities and time-frames should also be included. The...  [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 most daunting part in this unit is phrasal verb as we often cannot understand the meaning of each expression from the words themselves. Board is definitely one of the most useful and effective classroom tool. Displaying a few examples of each phrasal verb on board avoids students' confusion because many phrasal verbs are very similar and a number of them have multiple meanings. Worksheets are vital to give students plenty of opportunities to practice. Our teaching goal here is to...  [Read more]
