The videos are a bit old though and the tone is a bit weak in video 1. Other than that, the videos were not bad in comparison. It is obvious that video-1 is not the way one should hold a lesson.

The students in the classroom seemed overwhelmed and were not able to follow and/or understand what the...  [Read more]

It reinforced what previous units have stated. The takeaway that I thought was most important was that the attitude of the teacher impacts the class atmosphere tremendously from the very start. I have taken language classes from three different German teachers and I could relate to what happened in both videos. All of the teachers I have had most closely relate to what happened in the second video, but I can think of a...  [Read more]

The first video the teacher had a bad attitude and did not care about his students. This was seen since he didn't introduce himself or learn the names of students, he intimidated them by calling the teaching point easy, and he kept repeating instructions instead of trying to say them in new ways. He also didn't follow an ESA lesson plan at all. He started with study...  [Read more]

Problems for learners in a Country of your choice: Italy In this paper I will address the issues I face as a teacher from the context of living and working in Italy, as well as the common problems my students encounter while learning and speaking English. I also want to draw attention to the input culture and society has on language, and look at how these factors influence dynamics within the classroom. Of course, it is nearly impossible to view ones self outside your own given cultural perspective, so as a result of this I will also be discussing my own assumptions on how I "imagined" people might act, compared to the reality of the situation. Often I neglect to take into account these differences, simply because I was raised in America, where I am used to a different set of cultural...  [Read more]

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]

Pronunciation Problems for Chinese Students of English As a global language, English has been popularly taught as the second language in China for quite a few years. Now there are more Chinese people learning English on various purposes, such as applying for a higher paid job, studying and living abroad, or establishing business with western countries. According to my experience of learning and teaching English, it is harder to master English pronunciation than English grammar for Chinese students. Chinese grammar may appear quite simple compared to that of many highly-inflected Western languages (e.g. Russian, Latin, etc.), or even the low-scale verb conjugations, for instance, of English (e.g. "swim, swam, swum") because of the lack of inflections. Even though there are similarities...  [Read more]

Learning Difficulties “Makaton is a unique language programme offering a structured multi-modal approach, using signs and symbols, for the teaching of communication, language and literacy skills for people with communication and learning difficulties.” The methodology of TESOL is, I am told, directly transferable to the teaching of any subject or skill. I am going to consider whether this methodology is an efficient and appropriate way to teach Makaton to Down’s people, who have often failed to develop their mother tongue adequately. Adults with Down’s Syndrome often fail to develop language “naturally”. There are many reasons for this. Structurally they may have some hearing loss due to narrow ear canals and they may find the formation of sounds difficult because of their...  [Read more]
