3627. True Love and Deference Towards Our Students

 We have already started the new school year and some lessons may have been taught. 

One of the most important points for a group-class and their teacher is there should be nice rapport amongst them. The teacher seriously has to be an authority reference in the classroom, and at the same time he or she will get their dear students in his or her pocket. 

That teacher will seriously try and get them immersed into the lesson. 

In order to achieve that, he has to address each student by his or her name, all with affection and interest, real interest in each one of them. 

Out of the classroom he will talk with his students yet he will not be their buddy. 

You accomplish all that by treating each student with respect, interest, affection, deference, seriousness. Affection with prudence plus without being a simple buddy to them. 

And in a foreign language class he will try to get their learners plunged and immersed into English or whatsoever the target language is. Then at that time the vehicular language for communication in the classroom is English, although some things and announcements and instructions may be conveyed in their common mother language, if the case. Later on more things can be said in English. 

If the teacher himself demands from himself a clear and strict attitude to commit himself to his students, he will therefore and subsequently transmit and pass on seriousness towards work and some work which is well done. In principle. 

If the teacher works hard, more likely his students will work hard too. Over time and with patience, above all if the group-class is difficult and tough. 

On the contrary, if the teacher’s attitude to his work is lukewarmness, well then the only thing he will accomplish to transmit and pass on is more lukewarmness. 

Finally that committed teacher will also try to get the most from each student, in as much as possible. He may have large group-classes, yet if he gets interested in each student, he will do a big good to them, he’ll gain their respect and lessons will be carried out more smoothly. 

Experience will do the rest. Have a nice day, my fellow readers. Oh, and that teacher will plan his lessons with their students in mind and heart.

3658. Language Facts or Communication in Class?

  I teach English to adults. It’s so great … and demanding.  Adults have some characteristic way of learning the language. For example they tend to focus on specific grammar patterns and ways of saying things in the target language. Well, it’s something I also do when learning that language myself. And it is something I cannot change. It is something we can take advantage from, anyway.  Even in that way they can learn quite a lot. You know, it doesn’t matter they would ask me questions in class that show they are focusing on grammar. It’s ok. It’s ok ever if also we as teachers facilitate there is plenty of communication in English in class.  I mean, do not confine as a teacher to teach grammar and language facts, but provide a lot of communication in class.  When some newcomer arrives at one of those groups of mine – and I’m thinking of one specific group – that new student says kind of, Oh I can see my classmates have a lot of fluency while in my case … Why do the other students have

2064. Connecting people from different countries

Image
Something we teachers of English or other languages have to bear in mind when teaching adults is that the students should learn and practice communication, and we shouldn’t confine our classes to give them facts of the languages.  Also in kids’ case.  The point isn’t for them to know information about the language, yet to learn how to communicate in that language.  Thus we could plan our classes with that aim.  I state all this because we could dedicate a long time to teach facts, information, something nearly dead, say.  In this way, besides we contribute to connect people from so varied countries. It’s something brilliant, isn’t it? / Photo from: people-happy-cheering bachflowerssingapore wordpress com

758. Irregular verbs now and then

Image
One day teacher of English B said to teacher of English A, “English irregular verbs are an interesting grammar point Spanish students have to study year after year, increasing the list of them each academic year. Quite many more verbs of this type existed in Old English, before the 11th century, perhaps most of the English verbs then. In other words, the way each verb took the form of past simple and past participle was more complicate than the simple – ed ending. With centuries passing, fewer and fewer verbs remained as such ‘irregular’ verbs, in fact those verbs native speakers used very often. Because of that those verbs remained being ‘irregular’, while most of the English verbs, roughly speaking, were taking on the regular form of – ed for past simple and past participle. This can be due just to linguistic evolutions that actually occur in every language, with the language common people speak, year after year. Beside the fact that many words, so verbs too, were entering in the E

399. Creating a story

Image
One day teacher B said to teacher A, "I'm glad, ya know?, because my elder daughter has told me she has begun to write a book, a novel. I like the idea. One person who decides to write a book, well, or a story, a shorter story, sounds great, you know? She reads a lot of novels, kind of one every two or three weeks. I'm after she wouldn't lose time of her studies - she is 15. She has a sketch of the characters and some ideas. I gently try to suggest to her possible useful tips. Beauty, creativity, fantasy, just trying to write something, are very educative, aren't them? Also reading good literature." www disneypicture net The movie is The Pacifier . Starring Vin Diesel.
