In speaking to other ELL students whose home language is different, ELL students, use English but due to the students’ limitations in their English proficiency, they expose each other to more broken English I will value the instructional power of a word wall by frequently utilizing, maintaining, and updating it.All too often, secondary educators miss important opportunities to build the literacy skills of all students. This is especially true in
Being able to see what has been being talked about in the class all week, makes learning easier for a visual learner. While attending school, you go to take in as much knowledge as possible. No one teacher teaches the same, so how do we fully comprehend what we are learning? Four different learning styles enable us to comprehend information at our best. Some people learn better by simply listening, others learn by being hands on.
In planning and designing courses we take account of learners literacy and IT literacy levels, language skills (as we do get a few learners who do not speak English as a first language) and ensure that learning materials and resources are in plain English, easy to understand and take account of diversity by not including anything that would be offensive, hard to understand, promote stereotypes or cause controversy to certain groups. To ensure all learners are included and involved in the lessons for workskills we use different methods below I have itemised and listed the benefits of using these strategies and some of the disadvantages: Teaching method | Advantages | Disadvantages | Strategies for inclusion | Lecture – talk/ demonstration | A good way of giving information, setting the scene for further learning | Does not always take into account level of knowledge of all learners, some learners will get bored/switch off if too long. May not engage all learners. Not easy to
Rules such as: mobile phones switched off, respecting each others confidentiality, good time keeping and most importantly being non judgmental, is my definition of good practice procedure for my learners. I would also be keen to show equality and diversity as not to discriminate of ethnic background, religion or disability, and ensure everyone is treated as an equal. Teaching diverse learners requires monitoring their progress and responding to their input; which means teaching differently, or helping students gain from and see the purpose of teaching strategies being used. By involving the group in discussions and to negotiate some of the ground rules, the learners are more likely to take responsibility and ownership. Gravels.
Good communication is the way to resolve issues with the way students are being taught. If there was more class participation it would break down the monotony of just having a teacher read from a book or lecturing the entire time. “Knowledge emerges only through invention and reinvention,
Although they don’t know much how to pronounce the words, they are good at grammar and writing composition. This result still affects me when I learn English in the Unites States because of my habit. I feel feared to pronounce something wrong that make the people will laugh at me so I decide to use writing to express my thoughts. The relationship between reading and writing is a strong and important connection. Without reading, you can’t become a good writer because you don’t know how to gather your ideas in words.
Dorfman is more partial to the bilingual approach because it teaches “subjects like math and science in the student’s native language and gradually [introduces] English.” Using the logical approach, Dorfman comes to the conclusion that this is the best choice for students because it allows them to keep their cultural identity and also transition into the society of America. When discussing the immersion approach that was chosen by California, he uses logic saying that this could hinder the United States from cultural growth. “The referendum was ostensibly about education, but the deeper and perhaps subconscious choice was about the future of America.” He mainly discusses the pros of the bilingual approach, possibly giving the reader the idea that there are no cons to the use of the bilingual approach. This can interpreted as one-sided, but since this article is meant to
There are a few goals that I hope to achieve before leaving Manchester. The first one is to know more about my content, mainly the vocabulary and speaking skills. The vocabulary review games were as much as a review for the students as they were for me. Grant it, they were learning objects in the classroom, such as a pencil sharpener and a computer screen, which aren’t stressed too much in speaking. If I want to teach a topic, I should try to learn as much as I can about it and never stop learning Spanish, this is also one of my goals.
• Polite manners is a good skill to have because children pick up on anything you might say and repeat it and learn it if it’s an unkind gesture or not saying please and thank you. You want to set a positive example so the young children can learn from you and so you don’t get angry or upset parents coming to you asking why your child has been saying these words if it’s unusual. E7 Study skills I need to complete my training successfully are note-taking so I can always refer to something and have it
I have chosen to write a critical evaluation of Forman’s (2008) article because the pedagogic focus is on lessons where English is being taught as a subject and being used as the medium of instruction and as well as the significance of using the students’ mother language (L1) in English as a foreign language lessons (Foreman, 2008: 320). The Forman (2008) article is positive about the use of L1 in teaching about the L2 language and the author notes that the ‘exclusive use of L2 may not be the most effective way of rendering meaning’ (Forman, 2008:324). Furthermore, he acknowledges that teachers’ feedback benefit from ‘drawing on knowledge of the broader Thai context’ (Forman, 2008:325). In addition, this research explores how scaffolding combined
