Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Lesson planning is very important for all teachers but is especially useful for a teacher at the beginning of his/her career. A lesson plan is an aid for teaching, a working document, a record, and a guide for what should be included in the lesson or entire subject during the term. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Costas P. Aid to planning will help the teacher decide what he/she wants the students to achieve by the end of the lesson and how the teacher will make that possible. For example, your objective could be that by the end of the lesson students will make sentences using the affirmative form of the present continuous tense.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The topic “English As A Global Language” is an interesting one given that people in all the continents of the world are learning the English language to become apt in writing, speaking, reading, and listening even though these different countries have their different languages and mother tongue. At times it’s to the detriment of the languages or the dialects of these countries leading to the disappearance or extinction of some of these languages. This is the case with most African countries where children no longer speak the mother tongue or the dialect but the English language because it’s the language of instruction and socialization in schools. But the question is how or why have the English...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teaching English requires a great deal of technical knowledge and ability. After all, language is composed of vocabulary, grammar, and learning a language requires engaging in the productive skills of speaking and writing, and the receptive skills of listening and reading. The journey for a student learning English is a long and challenging one, and much of the success of the student depends on the attitude and approach of their instructor. As such, some qualities constitute effective English teachers. While part of teaching does involve mastery and understanding of the technical aspects of language, the personal qualities of an English teacher will also affect the learning of students and the success of a...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences In a society where it is much easier for us to become increasingly distracted by some of the banalest things (such as videos of cats playing the keyboard on YouTube), my generation, in particular, needs to establish a strong sense of organization and focus to ensure that these distractions do not leak into our work lives, causing a decline in our professionality and work ethic. Therefore I believe lesson planning is an effective tool in helping to create a stronger sense of organization within the teacher, both in and out of the classroom. In addition to providing a general layout of the teacher’s lesson (including grammar points and step-by-step instructions for particular activities that are more complex...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Writing a lesson plan requires putting down a detailed step-by-step guide that outlines the teacher's objectives for what the students will learn during their lesson and how they will learn it. To create a lesson plan, the learning objectives should be identified, activities should be developed, and the materials to be used will also be determined. A lesson plan can exist in the teacher's mind, or written in any format understandable by the teacher. Its purpose is to outline the "program" for a single lesson. It generally helps the teacher in both plannings and executing the lesson. It helps the student achieve a detailed format of learning, and help them get a structured organization of learning in their minds....  [Read more]
