K. – U.S.A. said: This course has especially helped me out in two areas: lesson planning and grammar. Both of those areas of teaching were things that I didn’t take seriously enough while teaching the past three years. For lesson planning, I’d usually rely on my Korean co-teachers to plan the lessons and tell me what I should do. When I had no co-teachers, I’d either follow the textbook or go to class with a half-put together plan and if the plan wasn’t adequate, I would just kill for time. ...  [Read more]

Teaching one-to-one Teaching English as a foreign language can be done one of two ways: teaching a group of students or by teaching on a one-to-one basis. It’s estimated that up to 40% of TESOL teaching is done one-to-one, however teachers find it increasingly difficult to find relevant material, advice and assistance on the method. Nicola Meldrum argues that teaching one-to-one “unfortunately is not covered much in ELT discussion” and that ‘It is somehow assumed that teaching English as a foreign language means organizing huge groups of students, while the reality is that one to one is a normal and significant part of our teaching lives”. Teachers are in effect left to their own devices; however this doesn’t stop the concept of teaching one-to-one being an effective and...  [Read more]

Students’ confidence in a teacher is an essential...  [Read more]

C. - U.S.A. said: The Role of the TeacherThe role of the teacher in the classroom is vitally important. Without the teacher you are missing half of what makes up a class- teacher + students. Teachers affect the classroom whether they want to or not. A bad teacher will affect the classroom as much as a great teacher, just in different ways. One negatively impacts the class, while the other positively impacts the class. The teacher has a role before he/she ever steps into a classroom. The first role of a...  [Read more]

  Our next consideration is that of giving instructions to our students. In order for those students to effectively carry out an activity, we need to make sure we have given clear and unambiguous instructions. It's also very important to check that the students understand the activity before you start. If you've done that work correctly then the teacher shouldn't need to say anything once an activity has started because the students are very clear about what they're supposed to be doing. So some ideas when giving instructions. As we've mentioned use simple language. Secondly, rather than trying to explain an activity, then do a demonstration which is visual. Thirdly, try to use wherever possible common words that come up within every activity. These would be things like ?look?,...  [Read more]

Teaching large classes where students are of varying levels and sometimes an inclusion of a ‘special child’ (at least one in each class) can be quiet taxing. The responsibility that each student should be equally taught effectively and that those students will equally learn with the same amount of knowledge as the rest are quite a tall task.

ESA: A Teaching Methodology For many years Teachers of English have used the PPP model of Presentation, Practice and Production for the preferred model of teaching. It has worked well. The PPP model falls short however, in that it does not work well when teaching more complex language problems beyond the sentence level or when teaching communicative skills. Jeremy Harmer in How to Teach English (Longman Publishing 1998) proposed an alternative to PPP called ESA: Engage, Study, and Activate. In an article written in The Guardian Weekend, March 15 1997, Bridget Riley complained about the treatment she and her fellow students received at the Royal College of Art. “We were abandoned when what we needed and what we hoped for was help toward independence in teaching rather than having...  [Read more]

Large Class Size Findings in many of the past studies do indeed suggest that small-sized classes are indeed more effective that larger classes. The benefits of smaller classes are endless, but what about those instructors that have no choice in the matter? Many scholars have come up with strategies in order to help those that are presented with the larger class and want to make it a success. Along these lines, many feel that it isn’t always the size of the class, it is the quality. Students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have expressed their opinion that the instructor has more of an impact on the quality of the class than the size itself (oic.id.ucsb.edu/). And in order to make the classroom a quality learning environment, many individuals, including those at Penn...  [Read more]
