I agree that there's not that much attention to writing since most of the students and thus courses are structured in a way you get more speaking practice. And I cannot disagree that sometimes it is reasonable. However I'm exited to get an example of teaching writing since it should be considered as equally important. The Unit sticks to ESA methodology making it more clear with each chapter.In this module, I learned...  [Read more]

I believe many native speakers' sense of proper grammar comes from what \"sounds\" right but are unable to explain it. I believe it's important for teachers to be able to have a deeper grasp on grammar beyond what sounds correct because there will be times when they must correct students' grammar, regardless of the primary...  [Read more]

With my Japanese high school students it often times can be very hard to elicit responses from them. There is a Japanese saying \"the nail that sticks out gets hammered back in\", this can translate into the classroom where students sometimes find it hard to volunteer themselves to give information. Usually in the warm up or 'engage' part of the lesson, I will have students in smaller groups so they feel they are among friends. This...  [Read more]

The tactics provided to deal with stronger and weaker students is also really reasonable and from experience, tends to help quite a lot as students are more likely to feel inspired by their peers rather than have a teacher drill the same material redundantly until it \"sticks\". It's also not fair to focus too much on either strong or weak students as that leaves one...  [Read more]

I work as an ALT in Japan and I have rather large classrooms. I feel like most of these activities were focused on smaller classrooms. For example the alphabet game would be great in a ten person class but I have 30 students. I can separate my class into groups but it would be harder to monitor their progress. It was interesting to learn about some of the different teaching styles. My favorite is the silent model. The color sticks...  [Read more]

The presentation done by this course was incredibly helpful in trying to reach that level of understanding. So much of the way we talk and use phonology is taken for granted. The study and understanding of the process that your body uses to make sounds is complex and fascinating. This unit will stick...  [Read more]

Examples were given of lesson plans using the ESA method as a framework. I found the test a bit difficult since I wasn't sure what level the hypothetical students are. For instance, with beginners, I wouldn't use a discussion in the engage phase, but with more advanced students I would....  [Read more]
