Teach English in Guilin Shi

This unit gave a guide as to how to manage classes

As the title suggests, this short unit concerned course books and lesson materials

This unit covered the basic grammar of the English language

This was incredibly interesting and informative

To be a good teacher you should be kind, patient, love teaching (so you can be lively & able to motivate)

can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, must, have to, have got to, need to, needn't, ought to used before other verbs to add to main verb (in its base form) in present and future

This knowledge really helped me with my writing so much, because of this grammar lesson, now I feel more confident and comfortable with my writing tasks then it makes me faster to finished my tasks

I feel that this unit not only facilitated learning and applying the past tenses, but also in solidifying the present tense forms from the prior unit

The content of this unit was very interesting,understandable ,useful and practical

This unit outlines the various equipment and external teaching aids that are available to use to motivate and keep the interest of the students

This unit discusses how to teach special groups when teaching English as a foreign language

This unit was about the equipment you can use in a classroom

This Unit considers several important grammatical issues - modal auxiliary verbs, the passive voice, relative clauses and phrasal verbs

The unit focused on the productive skills which are speaking and writing

Reported speech is speech that is reported: a writer attempts to express a speaker's ideas on paper

Two types of material usage, these are authentic and created materials

After watching these 2 videos you cannot help but notice the contrast between the 2, in terms of the teacher's approach and the students' reaction to the lesson

This unit explains the past tenses

?Authentic materials should be selected attentively (newspapers, menu, songs and etc) as they aren't for learners of EFL, but the usage them during a lesson helps a teacher to engage students (because they are real, interesting, more secure to study)

There are four forms of the present tense

This unit is about the four different present tenses we use in the English language, the present simple, present continuous, present perfect and the present perfect continuous

This unit looks at the productive skills basic to learning any language, speaking and writing, both equally important to effectively communicate

I loved studying this unit this week for many reasons, but mainly because the unit has allowed me to get an idea as to which types of tests are used by institutions, universities, and school programs

This has been an interesting unit

This lesson focused on a very essential part of learning a new language

Unit six examines the past tense system which is divided into past simple tense, past continuous tense, past perfect tense and perfect continuous

In this unit I have learnt the structure of past tenses is not dissimilar to the present tenses

This unit is by far the most challenging

This unit discussed the use of coursebooks and other teaching materials

This unit covered how to teach grammar and vocabulary

Unit 1, Teachers and Learners, examined the qualities, roles and responsibilities of teachers and students alike

This unit was about problems that might come up in the classroom

This unit introduced different theories and methodologies of English language acquisition

Conditionals are settings containing ?if? clauses and main clauses

This unit had so much information that can be used in practice, but from what I have perceived and understood from reading the material is that there are so many methods and so many ways to do something

IN THIS UNIT WE TALK ABOUT PAST TENSES, SO WE LEARN HOW TO USE PAST SIMPLE, PAST CONTINUOUS, PAST PERFECT AND PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS

In the first video the teacher made many mistakes

This Unit provided an interesting summary of young learners in general and the various stages of learning within each age category

In unit fifteen I reviewed information about evaluation

In this unit, I learned there were more uses of eye contact than I realized! I also realized how gestures and other visal stimuli can be useful for reducing teach talk time, which is very good to know

The second unit is very informative as it touches such aspects as methods, theories and techniques that exist in the teaching English as a foreign language

Whilst carrying out unit 11, I was constantly reminded of my own language learning journey

In this unit different type of classes and groups of students is being discussed and tips for teaching each group is offered

This unit really illustrated how a teacher's attitude and preparedness affects students' ability to effectively learn the material

I learned through the unit that there are eight parts of speech as follow: 1-noun 2- adjective 3- article 4- verb 5- adverb 6- gerunds 7- pronouns 8- prepositions/conjunctions I also learned about different kinds of nouns and adjectives that nouns could be countable or uncountable

As English is also my second language I learned a lot in this unit

What I learnt from unit 20 is about troubleshooting that mostly describe as the most common problem situations that teachers can encounter (before, during and after) in the classroom and how to dealing with them

This unit described different aspects of teaching pronunciation and phonology -- both the details of each and tips for carrying out pedagogical best practices

In my opinion, a good teacher should use coursebooks, authentic materials, recordings, but to choose them and combine in a very specific way to motivate students and to develop their language skills gradually

The second unit of this course contains a very valuable content regarding understanding language and mainly parts of speech which build up the structure of language

The cooperation of a \"good teacher\" and \"good students\" gives the best results in the process of learning

This unit was really interesting because it focused on the two main protagonists of a lesson: teacher and learner

This units coverage about receptive skills was informative and a refresher

This unit talks of how to differentiate and utilize a variety of materials a teacher can use

For me, the first lesson makes me feel uncomfortable that I wouldn't want to attend the class

There are sometimes more specific groups of students which require a more specialised forms of teaching

Unit 14 discusses course books and various materials teachers can use in the classroom

Understanding some general concepts of phonology can help an educator when teaching pronunciation in the classroom because intonation, stress, and rhythm allow students of English to learn to manipulate the language and communicate more effectively

This unit was a great collection of lists and examples of the various situations of teachers and students

This first unit analyzes the roles of the teacher and the student

The topics discussed in this unit were the attributes of being a good teacher and being a good learner

In unit 12 I have learned that productive skills are speaking and writing which are equally important as receptive skills

This unit covered the productive skills which are speaking and writing

This unit provided an excellent review of the past tenses and how they are formed and used

Unit 12 looks at the productive skills, speaking and writing, two skills used for communication

Unit 11 covered methods of teaching with respect to how information is interpreted(in reading and listening)

This unit has dealt with teaching students of varying ages, languages, and settings

Unit 20 is all about common problems troubleshooting

In unit 20, the reader was introduced to the most common problems teachers will face while in the classroom

Unit 13 covers pronunciation and phonology, the study, science, analysis, and classification of the physical properties of sounds

This unit covered types of materials and how they can be used

This unit opened up by talking about the need to know your students

This unit examine receptive skills- reading and listening

Developing one's teaching style is crucial in becoming a good teacher

Periodical evaluation is to determine if the lesson carried out was successful in meeting the expected outcomes

This final unit is about troubleshooting for various problems in the classroom

This unit was about what makes a good teacher, their role as the teacher, what makes a good learner, factors to consider about the learner and the levels of a learner

This unit explained the productive language skills and different ways to teach them

Structured, professional L2 (as distinct from spontaneous, natural L1) learning works best if managed in phases: actively eliciting and reminding of prior material, engaging with new material and discovering it (with some guidance as necessary), working actively with it in detail and then perhaps incorporating it into wider or freer language used for instance

Here, there is material about specialized groups such as beginners, individual students, young learners, business English students, monolingual and multilingual classes

This chapter provides a good re-cap of Unit 3, where we learnt about the different types of teaching methodologies

There can clearly be no '1-size-fits-all' TEFL/TESOL syllabus: even 'beginners' come in a variety of distinct kinds such as the genuine, the 'false' etc

While teaching about past tenses, I believe it is very important to build on the students' already established knowledge of the present tenses, and to show simple similarities of how the past tenses reflect the basic structures of the present ones, already much more ingrained at this point of the course

This unit addressed problems that might be faced in the classroom

It is very important to understand how vital reading and listening skills are to learning a new language

This unit is focused on the theories,methods and techniques use for effective teaching

In the unit we have looked trough the teacher roles and his/her necessary personality and professional traits

In this chapter we sketch the performance assessment for students, as it determines whether or not the goals of education are being met

\" The black cat sat on the mat

Learning a new language is no easy task, students need to be exposed to it, understand its meaning and structure and be able to practice and produce it

Unit 5 provides an overview of classroom management

Unit 8 explains how future tenses are formed, their usages and the differences between them

This unit has taught me what it means to manage an ESL class especially bearing in mind that the rapport between the teacher and students and most importantly the classroom environment is a very important building block in an effective learning

Unit 20 presents a good overview of the problem situations EFL teachers are likely to encounter with the first lessons in new or existing class, such as: when and how to deal with different levels in a same class, how to manage a large group of students or reluctant students, which are the problems which may arise with the use of native language in a monolingual classroom and how to manage students which have difficulties with listening texts

There are five future tenses, as well as 2 present tenses which also have future tense usages

This unit covered classroom management and talked about how to be effective in the classroom

We can apply ESA methods to introduce a new language

This is a good unit for a difficult subject to teach EFL students

Unit 5 is a very important unit for me

Unit 19 explains how teachers should teach English among special groups

This unit explains topics relevant to the teacher and learner role in a classroom setting

Unit 15 is VERY interesting for me as I adore preparing students for the IELTS exam :) This Chapter covers evaluation and testing

This unit was presented through six themes: qualities of a good teacher, the role of ?the teacher, qualities of a good learner, classification of learners according to age ?groups, levels of language ability, and finally learners? motivation to learn L2

There are many different ways to approach vocabulary, grammar, and functions of words and grammar points to new English speakers

This unit presented contrasting teaching videos that greatly impacted me

Conditionals These are sentences containing 'if' (or similar expressions such as 'when') which refer to past, present and future possibilities

This unit clarifies the differences of the past tenses, their specific usages and common errors that are made when applying them

Unit 11 talks about the receptive skills teachers should encourage within their students

I learned throughout the course things that need to be done with a new group of students

This was another very good Unit

In conclusion, this unit talks about conditionals and reported speech

This unit focus on the teaching of pronunciation and phonology
