TESOL TEFL Reviews - Video Testimonial - Linda, Part 4

 

In the fourth part of her TEFL review video journal of her TEFL course with ITTT Linda talks about her experience of studying unit 4. This grammar based unit is the first that covers the tense system of the English language. The unit focuses on the present tenses and Linda feels that while grammar can be quite boring to study, this unit does a great job in explaining how the tenses can cause problems for learners of English by pointing out issues that do not occur to native speakers of the language.

The best technique for teaching new vocabulary is ESA method. An activity for the 'engage' portion could be having students draw their dream home and then have them describe it to the class. Students do not to need to know the origin of new vocabulary. However, it is important to tell students the definitions, spelling, and pronunciation of new words.In this unit, the basics of teaching different types of learners was covered. This unit listed several different groups of English learners including beginners, business learners, multi-cultural classes, etc. It also highlighted the main do's and don'ts for teaching one-on-one with a student. It is different than teaching a classroom full of students.
