The program made chinese sound so simple to learn, promising that if you knew english phonetics, you would be able to speak chinese. The course actually was quite helpful as an overview, but it was daunting to learn the correct pronunciation of the most basic Mandarin greetings.

This would be because the chinese language does not have all of the sounds of the english language, such as the “th” sound in both “then” and “thin”, just as english does not have all the sounds in the chinese language. “For example /b/, /d/, and /g/ are voiced in english, but not chinese, /v/ is absent in chinese, as is /n/ and /z/” (Plump 2).

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In this topic, I will be talking about my own “Personal Teaching Experience” in two Asian countries that I’ve had the privilege to work in and teach such as, China and Russia.

William Noble Destinations Teaching Ideas I have been an online ESL teacher to Chinese students for over 13 years, mostly with primary students but also with secondary and adult students. I am also a father and have homeschooled my daughter over her primary years. Like many teachers, I’ve enjoyed teaching at this level of education as it lays the foundation in English. As it set the foundation, my teaching helped students to overcome common errors in production skills, speaking and writing. Teaching both my daughter and Chinese students at the primary level also helped me also to understand the different expectations between first language and second language students. Since English is very different from China, many Chinese ESL students have difficulty in mastering English. The...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Learning a second language can feel like stepping into a whole new world compared to the way you learned your first language. When you learn your first language, you take in that language in a very natural and organic way compared to the way you might obtain your second language. The first language you learn is what you hear from infancy as you grow up, as it’s the language you hear at home, on tv, at school and etc. And your second language will mostly be something you are taught in classroom which is not the same type of experience that you get from learning in your actual living environment. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Mandrell C. When you grow up using your native tongue you are not just in taking the right way to...  [Read more]
