It was a fairly complex chapter indicating the many places in which English learners will have problems trying to grasp these concepts. The sheer amount of changes that occur with the language when reporting things at different times becomes very confusing, and it seems like it would be difficult to demonstrate these rules to students without concrete understanding of exactly what is going on with the structure of the sentences.

The home of our training course in Canada is the city of Toronto, the capital of Ontario and the most populous city in the country. This important global city is at the very heart of the country’s business and finance sectors, and also leads the way in terms of its arts and culture. Although Toronto is undeniably large in size, countless polls and surveys would suggest that it has avoided the fate of many North American cities by being rated as one of the world’s most livable urban areas. Add the welcoming nature of the local people, and you can see why the cosmopolitan city of Toronto has become a popular destination for completing our TEFL/TESOL course. Toronto has steadily grown on waves of immigration since its initial founding, and this continuing trend means the city is one of...  [Read more]

An example is if the verb 'to be' is used in the present it will be present continuous, if the verb 'to be' is used in the past it will be the past continuous and this applies for past perfect and past perfect continuous. So if one keeps a calm head and apply one set of principles to three different tenses (past, present and...  [Read more]

Cultural Sensitivity in the Classroom The topic we have decided to address is cultural sensitivity in the classroom. Living in Toronto is extremely different from living anywhere else on this earth. One reason why, is the cultural diversity of Toronto. Even in today’s workforce there is a massive amount of cultural diversity that is why having cultural sensitivity in today’s classrooms should be a huge asset. Canada is a country that is now relying on immigrants coming to our country to help run the economy. It is an extremely good thing that people from different cultures are trained to speak English before they come to Canada or having them take an English learning course once they arrive in the country. By doing this, they are given an equal opportunity in Canada. Luckily we were...  [Read more]

Mighty big place, Partner. As Ferdinand Braudel, the great French historian observed, ‘the land dictates the people’, and it is a good idea never to stray too far from this theme. If you want to know what ‘cold’ is then head up to Minneapolis, north of Toronto, in the mid winter. If you want to know what ‘hot and humid is’ then try Orlando in the height of the summer. If you transcribe a line from Los Angles to Miami and turn this into a road trip then the number of different peoples and environments you will encounter is immense. By all means there is a thin veneer of Americanism, and everywhere you will find both McDonalds, and the presence of the Federal Government; however, you shouldn’t let this take your eye off the ball of the fact that the people and environment of...  [Read more]
