As a communication major, I think the \"Communicative Language Teaching\" is highly important,...  [Read more]

Australia and New Zealand constitute a large geographic area encompassing a huge variety of climates, topography and environments. The most immediately striking thing to the visitor is that the seasons are the reverse of those experienced by the northern hemisphere. The other curiosity is that water goes down the plughole the other way around. That not the only thing that’s unusual ‘down under’. Indeed, one is dealing with an entirely new world, only recently populated by non-indigenous peoples. There is an enterprising air about the new world, as well as a ‘can do’ attitude. With this said, people never hesitate to set aside their work worries in favour of ripping the scab off a few tubes, and getting the barbeque going on the beach; and a jolly fine time can be had by all....  [Read more]

The present continuous tense is used to talk about things that are happening at the time of speaking. For example, the birds are chirping. The present perfect tense is used to talk about past events that have some bearing on the...  [Read more]

I also took the course because I knew that my weakest area as a teacher was in english grammar. My schooling in Australia did not teach grammar explicitly. I knew how to speak and write english perfectly – but not how to explain it to my students. I learnt a lot in the grammar units of this course.

Linguistics is definitely a topic I need to study. I learnt about the phonemic alphabet which allows you to write out sounds, symbols representing them. This is different than just writing out the way a word sounds such as 'k-at'. This is great for learning pronunciation, especially since different English speaking countries speak with different accents and sometimes don't pronounce some letters of words correctly. In...  [Read more]

It was never taught at school or at university, so this was all very new to me. It was, however, interesting and is a good way to teach more advanced students pronunciation. I guess you could just learn the phonemic symbols table, like you would learn the periodic table in high school. It was also interesting to learn about the place of articulation and manner of articulation. Connected...  [Read more]

It was fun learning more in depth about the anatomy and physics of our speech and phonics. Although aware of the phonemic chart from the dictionary I'm surprised it's not something taught in school. It's not natural since it isn't used in the written English language, but it is such a helpful chart to identify definitive sounds or pronunciations per word. This will be a lesson I will constantly re-read in the future.Unit...  [Read more]

TESL is a term commonly used in the USA, Australia and Canada to describe the act of teaching English to non native speakers in countries where English is the official language. It is also used to refer to the same teaching situation in areas where English is commonly spoken but not necessarily the official language. This type of teaching situation is often centred on migrants and refugees who need to learn the English language as a means of integrating into their new environment. To service this section of the English language industry there are numerous government and charity based programs available in many English speaking countries. For example, the USA has many programs available to the large numbers of migrant workers who come to the country from Mexico and other Latin American...  [Read more]
