While neither receptive or productive skills are more important than the other, I noticed that the unit had more of a heavy focus on receptive skill--listening and reading; it makes sense, too, considering that most times what we produce lingually, is based on what we receive. And it is important to perceive as accurately as...  [Read more]

In my opinion, Pronunciation, intonation, and phonemes are three parts of speech that students worry about in schools. It does not matter what the language is; it will always be either difficult or easy for the students to master these three aspects. Knowing how to call each part inside your mouth helps a great deal, when learning how to pronounce the sounds correctly. The phonics system is so far the best resource that an ESL teacher...  [Read more]

In the first lesson, it may have been the case that the teacher was trying to reassure the students that the content was easy so they did not have to worry, however this actually made them more intimidated as they were not sure what he was referring to in the first place. This showed me that although reassurance can be good, it can also be used ineffectively as well. ...  [Read more]

We don''t know when the speech is being reported. Moreover, in American speech anyway, it is always OK to use 'tomorrow' even if it happened long in the past. I don't think I would ever say, 'She asked him if he was working the following day,' as there would always be a context in which she was asking him the day before, and that is frozen in time. Do you follow me? In American English I'm also happy with, 'if he were' instead of 'was,' and I don't mind 'be going to'...  [Read more]

I think games are important in classrooms because even though the students may be learning, they don't realize that they are and it begins to come naturally, just like emersion into the language. I learned that...  [Read more]

That's why I think those are good homework assignments. I've learned about the difference between accuracy and fluency. Accuracy meaning a more controlled way of learning, making sure students use the...  [Read more]
