The teaching I am hoping to do would be in a multilingual, beginning, adult classroom. There were great reminders about the importance of using only English in the classroom, and suggestions for how to make that most successful. It sounds like a multilingual classroom has an advantage when it comes to an English only setting, since English would be the one common denominator. There was a reminder to explain the importance of the...  [Read more]

Also if the students can not pronounce a word correctly, they may...  [Read more]

I will find it particularly challenging to teach reported speech, because it is necessary for all students to...  [Read more]

However, with listening the students may only hear the sentence once or twice so their ability to scan,skim, and deduce information from context will have to be more advanced. Two ways to approach difficult language in an activity are;...  [Read more]
