The first video featured a bored, unenthusiastic teacher who obviously had little interest in the class. In this lesson he taught an uneffective class based on modal auxilary verbs, and by the end of the class the students were clearly unhappy and some even a little confused as to the content. The second video featured the same teacher and students, but with a noticeable difference...  [Read more]

Whether covering a lesson with the entire class, or working one-on-one with a student, the focus must be on the motivation and improvement of those students. I have used pairs, small groups and large groups with much success over the years. Our school is equipped with Apple projectors that will allow us to project our computers on the main screen.

I feel like a novice when it comes to an in-depth knowledge of the past tense and all of its forms: Past simple, Past Continuous, Past Perfect, and Past Perfect Continuous. I took careful notes and I have been studying them closely to really master the usages for each form. I find the formulaic breakdown of how each tense takes form extremely helpful. For example, Past Simple can be achieved by just adding 'ed' to the base form of the verb or...  [Read more]

Some of these auxiliary verbs can make a sentence seem much more formal and polite, and vice versa. The passive voice involves redirecting the objects of active verbs into objects of passive verbs. It can be used in situations where one does not want to reveal the person or...  [Read more]

The second lesson was engaging in a way that was welcoming, fun & you could feel the students sense of pride from being able to participate. The first lesson was a lot of repetition without real substance, the students were berated and told they should know an answer without being provided context or anything relatable.Throughout this lesson, I have...  [Read more]

This is not to say that a teacher can structure lessons in any manner; the lessons do need to relate to each other and build upon each other in order to achieve the broader...  [Read more]

Taiwan is a modern, industrialised megalopolis of big cities that benefit from booming trade with the US and other countries. Its thriving cities skirt glorious mountain ranges, and despite the hi-tech, developed aspect of the country there are still grass-skirted, indigenous tribes slightly at odds with this image. The official language is Mandarin, and twenty-three millions squeeze into an area of fourteen thousand square miles. Religions practiced include Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity. There is such a wealth of opportunity for TESOL teachers in Taiwan that it is hard to describe. For example English kindergartens are highly fashionable, and the trend for English goes from there up in the education system. In addition to this there are many corporations that need...  [Read more]
