This unit had very helpful diagrams that I will use to help my students understand how the flow of the English language and how to accurately pronounce the words. The part that was the most difficult for me was translating the phonetic script. Sometimes I would get it other times it would take a long time for me to figure it out. This is important for me because if I want to be able to teach it accurately, so I need to be able to understand it. I...  [Read more]

If a teacher does not come into a class positive and confident in the students' success, the students will pick up on condescending gestures and will not participate effectively. Giving positive feedback is critical, and when a student has done something incorrectly, working with the class to produce the correct answer can help everyone...  [Read more]

Some of these have to do with the nature of certain individual students such as those who use their native language or are reluctant to participate. Others are more based on group dynamics such as the size of the group or students being on different levels of English. The former two can be mitigated through proper interaction, the latter can be used to turn elements to advantages such as having group leaders...  [Read more]

Communicating with each student becomes more imperative and for some vital based on progress. The implication of progress tests should intensify the connection between the student and the teacher. An example of this is how college professors make themselves available through office hours to meet one-to-one with students before major tests. Ultimately, the students...  [Read more]

Trying to differentiate the different tenses can tend to blur together the longer you look at them. At the end of the day, in my mind, find the pattern is the key. The key being certain key words, 'will' with the First Conditional for instance. 'Will' is not present for any other conditional which will make such statements stand out. The others can be a little more elusive for some I wager. Third Conditional and Mixed immediately coming to...  [Read more]

Teaching EFL in a Kindergarten My experience as a bilingual kindergarten (Spanish/English) teacher has demonstrated the ability children have to learn two languages in an immersion program. Through a well-structured program including reading, journal writing and phonics (Aranjo) my students acquired a broad vocabulary and the ability to communicate with confidence to their peers and adults. The curriculum is presented to kids in a fun exciting way including storytelling, song, chants, games, rhymes, movement, dance, cultural lessons and holiday celebrations (Faust). It is essential to commit to the faithful implementation of the English learning program for the minimal 45 minutes a day to provide the consistency and practice needed for their success. Brain research supports the belief...  [Read more]

Should Students Be Allowed to Use Their Native Language in the Classroom When I first began teaching lessons during the TESOL Course I found myself almost automatically saying to the students, “English please,” after all it is an English class. However, I began to question myself about whether or not this was “correct” practice or if the students should in fact use their native language to assist them in the learning process. After doing some research I found the TESOL Law Code of Ethics. The Law of Ethics provided many vague and open-ended ideas. It suggested things along the lines of, “The foreign language teacher shall direct her whole professional effort to assist the students to develop his/her second language speaking ability.” It also mentions that TESOL teachers are to...  [Read more]
