It can become confusing and I think that mainly for that reason it was important to have studied this unit. Completing the tasks, including the lesson planning, have given me a better understanding of how to teach these grammar rules. I'm looking forward to using reported speech teaching ideas in my lessons.I anticipate teaching younger learners in the future,...  [Read more]

As a native English speaker, I took for granted how easily it was to pronounce different words without needing to be taught the roots of how your mouth and throat work in conjunction. The teaching techniques of the pronunciation of individual sounds made me rethink from an ESL learner perspective. The ways our teeth, back of the throat, and tongue move to form new sounds to indicate different meanings and contexts...  [Read more]
