UNIT 20
Task 1 – You
are about to take your first lesson with a group of monolingual students in
their own country.
Write a
lesson plan for the class, including introduction, warmers, an
activity/exercise/test that will indicate students’ different levels, and
finishing with a game or other activity that involves all the class. Use the
same lesson plan format as all previous lesson plans.
Task 2 – Summarize what you have personally gained from this
course, and how you plan to put into action what you have learned.
This
course helped me review some of the basic grammar structures of English that I
already knew but may have not been able to explain. Being a native English
speaker, I hadn’t realized exactly how difficult English could be and how I
took it for granted that just because I understood it doesn’t mean I could
explain it. This course taught me the different type of learners (child, adult,
special needs) and language levels, all of which needs to be taught to their
specific needs. I feel that this TEFL course helped me improve as a teacher and
could be incorporated into teaching any subject, not just English. Lesson
planning definitely became easier to organize and complete with the form I have
from this course. I also believe that this course allowed me to become more
open-minded about multilingual students and glimpse into their minds and see
from their point of view.
I
plan on using what I learned to teach English in Seoul, South Korea. I hope to
teach at an elementary school and use my TEFL certification to become highly
qualified for most of the teaching positions. I would prefer to teach in South
Korea since I can speak Korean, which would greatly assist me when I teach
English.
wow this course seems quite difficult i want to teach English in China i know allot about English ,was worries about my spelling now i see this more intense then i thought.I want to teach to small kids not sure if all that will be necessary as young kids will only be learning to speak English Level 1 TEFL is what i want to do.What level is this?
ReplyDeleteI do not want to be harsh but you do need to hear this. If you talk the way you write you should never teach English. You have no grammar in your paragraph, furthermore, your sentence structure is really bad. This shows that you are not a native English speaker or you're and you're just not good at writing. Either way keep trying and learn all you can. Also this course isn't difficult in any way.
DeleteThank you for this blog. It was really helpful for my ESL class. I fond the units with ESA stages especially interesting as they provide practical tips.
