The verb tenses and conditional sections were very valuable to me, as I really needed the review of all these facets of english that we native-speakers rarely think of or talk about in passing. Some of the assignments were difficult for me, as I was very rusty about many of these things. However, I feel I made a lot of progress in all areas that I was weak in. I believe this course will also help me as I embark upon my second Master's degree I am...  [Read more]

As a native speaker, my accent/pronunciation is my most valued commodity but it is not enough to just expose students to my way of speaking. Things like mouth formation and tongue positioning need to be explained to students in order for them to learn to do it on their own. And in order for this to be done, the teacher must understand the...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: This unit covered various aspects of lesson planning. It suggested that while some theorists consider lesson planning to not be a good idea as it creates a more fixed, teacher-centered lesson, it's important for a teacher to be flexible to the needs of the students. It takes a more experienced teacher to be able to let the students have more control over what they do in class. A more inexperienced teacher would feel unprepared. Most teachers fall somewhere in the middle, relying on a...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: I realized in this unit that the ultimate goal in any classroom is for the students, themselves, to become competent enough to evaluate their own level and progress throughout the year. Thus, feedback is crucial and necessary for a student's growth, but too much of it and an overt criticism on their work may cause a lasting dependent relationship on the teacher. The idea of not being able to do it alone defeats the purpose of learning. In order to asses a student's level, I need to give...  [Read more]

During my year of teacher training in California, I often had to write lesson plans in many different forms. None of the templates that I was asked to...  [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]

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]

Songs in the Classroom The use of songs in the ESL classroom can be a fun and innovative way of covering a range of English language topics. Songs can be used for vocabulary, grammar, dictation, pronunciation (stress and intonation), phonetics, speaking, writing, listening, integrative skills, and many other ESL points. Furthermore, songs can invite the non-native speaker into the English speaking culture. For instance, pop music gives the learner a taste of what is trendy at the moment. Meanwhile, the lyrics to classic rock songs can give a sense of history and the attitude of the country at the time of recording (for example, “Give Peace a Chance,” John Lennon, 1969). Additionally, children’s songs are crucially important for the young learner as they are an easy way to encourage...  [Read more]

British english vs american English With English being recognised as the global language of choice, which one is considered the official language? So just how did American English diverge from British English in the first place? American English roots back to the early colonial days of the late 16th century, were a whole gamut of cultures converged into a single society. In some colonies English wasn’t even a spoken language and in those colonies that did speak English it was quite different from the English we know today. The Elizabethan English of the day consisted of many varieties of regional English dialects. All these different dialects, intermingled with a multitude of cultures formed one big boiling pot, of which over time, a new variant was produced – American English. And...  [Read more]
