I also didn?t like that he often told students that things were really easy, as if to make them feel inferior. Question 20 of the test sheet I really found challenging because as with all...  [Read more]

When I just became a local english teacher in China, of course I did. Firstly, let’s look at reasons why the children might be misbehaving. Are they bored? Does learning english not engage them? Are they tired with sitting at their desks? Maybe the children find english hard and do not think they can learn it so they hide their lack of confidence by misbehaving. Maybe the naughty child just thinks that the teacher does not like...  [Read more]

I learned that the demeanour of the teacher and his/her attitude to the students is essential in establishing classroom rapport, trust, and participation from students. I think this is particularly important in the context that I am currently working in, where many of our ESL students are refugees.

Furthermore, why teach idioms? While the latter is more acceptable in an educational setting, both are still rarely mentioned in the english teaching curriculum. Perhaps teachers avoid slang because it is “informal,” and they think that it is therefore unnecessary to introduce in a classroom setting. However, the problem with that mentality stems from the fact that all languages, not just english, are informal to a degree, oftentimes spiced with their...  [Read more]

  Hello. This presentation is going to cover this section on lesson planning and what we're going to do is to have a look as to why we go about planning a lesson, what do we actually put in it? We'll create an empty lesson plan pro-forma and then having done that what we'll do is to fill in that lesson plan for a particular teaching point. So, our starting position is going to be: "Why do we plan lessons at all?" There are a number of reasons why we need to plan a lesson. The first and foremost perhaps is that it's going to create a logical sequence for our lessons. If we didn't have a lesson plan, it is quite possible that we could go all over the place and it would become confusing for the students. By having this plan, what we've created is a structure that we can work from. So,...  [Read more]

I had previously learned a small portion of the phonetic alphabet when briefly studying Arabic and I'm very glad I was able to recall much of what I had learned - otherwise this material would have been entirely new to me. Speaking like a native speaker is so much more than just having the correct words - you actually have to sound like one too! This is why...  [Read more]

For example, the reading said that in Asian countries, students are not encouraged to speak with the teacher unless directly told to do so. I find this is absolutely true. I liked reviewing the reasons for learning motivation through the lens of a low- to mid-level Japanese school, where many of my students are not motivated. I would like to incorporate / emphasize these...  [Read more]

  Now an example of a straight arrow ESA lesson for our engage phase. What we're going to do is to show the students a video of animals and they are going to say what they like about those animals and try to create a list of some more. So, remember what we're trying to do here is to get the students talking and thinking in English. We're using a typical engage activity, which is to create a list and we try to make sure that all the students have been involved in some way in creating those lists. Moving on to the study phase, the first part is going to be the board work and the teacher is going to try to elicit from the students what each of those animals can and can't do. Typically, what the students will say is just single words, so "run," "jump," "fly," etc. What we would then...  [Read more]

  Here's an idea for teaching the present perfect continuous tense. However in this activity what the students will be doing, is comparing and contrasting this tense with the present perfect tense. This is something that a teacher will want to do after they've explored both tenses and because both tenses are quite confusing, we'll ask the students to compare and contrast the two, making sure that they can tell the difference. In this activity, the teacher will have cut out each individual card. The teacher will distribute the cards to the students and after a minute has gone by, the teacher will then ask the students to fold their cards over and get into a pair. One student in the pair will then present a certain result and ask the student to form the question. Here, with the...  [Read more]

  The next idea we're going to consider is the use of visual aids and visual aids can include some examples such as real, objects, which we call realia, the use of pictures and photographs and also the use of models. So let's consider some of the ideas surrounding the use of visual aids. Well, why are they useful? Well, first of all the use of a visual aid can reduce teacher talk time. It's very much more simple just to show a real object than to try to describe it so that we could just ask the students ?what is this,? and they would say ?this is a pen,? rather than trying to actually describe it. Again if we were trying to show examples of fruit and vegetables rather than to try and describe them why not use an actual model and this is going to be much more visually stimulating...  [Read more]

Problems facing students from Vietnam How to deal with the difference. How does it function in my life. What do I hope my students will do according to these problems. There are three “circles” where I have to deal with these differences; In a classroom you have to discover and understand; to open up is exciting. There are differences of opinion, ideas, race, social class, spending your free time. Home and at school; different work methods and characters. Different education forms. In a classroom everybody has to try to accept and not to judge too quickly and ask yourself a question: Where do those differences, conflicts, discrimination etc. come from? Try to understand why people think differently. Differences can be exciting in the classroom, school culture, types of education. The...  [Read more]
