Articles posted in June 2010The Biggest Questions About Teaching Are Answered!
Are you a teacher? Do your students constantly ask you questions that have nothing to do with your lesson in order to get the class off task? I have the answers for you! You can answer student questions in a flash, and without wasting precious class time.
Teaching Pronunciation
It is important to incorporate Language Systems (Lexis or vocabulary, Grammar, Function and Phonology) in order to deliver a balanced and comprehensive English course. When analyzing a particular language item, we could simply look at the individual words (vocabulary or lexis). We could also consider how these individual words interact with each other (grammar or syntax).
Teaching Grammar
Many lesson types may be integrated including more than one segment and held together by a unifying topic. These may include skills (reading, writing listening, speaking) and systems (grammar, vocabulary, phonology). School syllabuses and course books typically reflect this notion.
The Productive Skills - Speaking
Speaking and writing are the 'productive skills.' We teach speaking as learners consider this particular skill as one of the most important and also the most challenging. Speaking communication is the most common way of building interpersonal relations.
Is Technology the Be-All and End-All?
There are so many technological applications and new techno gadgets to use in teaching that the average teacher definitely can't keep up! The push to incorporate technology in the 21st Century classroom to educate students for the future world can be uncomfortable for those who are not tech savvy and don't particularly want to be tech experts.
The Ambitions of Ghetto Youth: Too Small
You want to know the hardest thing about motivating students? It's this: Every student out there wants to have one of three jobs. They want to be an actor, a musician, or an athlete. That's it. Three jobs.
Teaching Techniques and Classroom Management
An important responsibility of an ESL teacher is to create an effective learning environment for learning to take place. This involves both actions and the decisions of the teacher. The actions are those things that are done in the classroom, such as rearranging the chairs and desks. The decisions relate to how and when these actions are implemented.
Lesson Planning
Clear aims outline what it is that you hope to achieve in the lesson. If you are being observed by a supervisor or a Trainer on a training course or at school, you will be expected to provide a clear outline of your aims in your lesson plan.
Empowering Youth - Yes, Creative Thinking Can Be Taught
Thanks to a lot of research, it has been found that creative thinking can be taught and learned. So as teachers, we should be encouraging and developing creativity, but this is often not the case.
The Productive Skills - Writing
Speaking and writing are the 'productive skills.' Nowadays, there is very little need for long, formal written work in the classroom. With the advent of email and word processors with spell checkers, most people do very little written work except for short notes to friends and colleagues.
