  The next item that we're going to consider is the use of resource books. There are many different types of resource books available and within those books there tends to be a general pattern and typically the resource book pack will come in a three book series and typically that three book series will be in the form of the student book, a workbook and a teacher's resource book. So for example here are those three books for this particular series called ?Total English? and in the student book the type of information that we can gain from here is the actual background to the teaching points themselves plus some additional information in terms of short worksheets and so on and so forth and tape transcripts at the end for listening activities, which these days often come on a CD...  [Read more]

  Let's just consider next, when using these resource books, the student book, the workbook and the teachers resource book, what are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using those types of materials? Well, firstly, the main advantage perhaps of using these types of material is that it's quicker than actually creating your own. Secondly, the course books that you will get will be graded for a particular level. So there'll be a set of books for the starter level, a set of books for the elementary level and so on and so forth. So you know that the activities and materials in there will have been graded for level.

  This presentation is going to focus on the use of course books, materials and teaching aids. There are many materials that we can bring to our classroom that will help with the teaching of our lessons and these include, though they're not limited to, things such as the wipe board, similar to the one that we're using here, various types of visual aids, created or bought worksheets, the use of cassettes CDs and DVDs and the use of video and in these classroom materials, we can also include things such as dictionaries and course books, various types of resource books that we'll have a look at and other materials such as photo copiers, computers, OHPs. So what we'd like to do is just to take a general look at some of the issues relating to each of these types of materials. Below you...  [Read more]

Mohammad Jabary TEFL Information Alumni Experiences The topic may seem strange to some initially, but if you come to think about it, you see that a coursebook can be a deadline in innovative teaching. Many teachers are used to going along with plans that they are given by their school supervisor or rather the old system they follow in teaching. It may seem practical for the marks that are expected by the end of the term by school authorities, while the true purpose of teaching is rather different. Having a plan has proved to be a good way of pursuing education at all levels, whether it is the basic rules of language understanding or it is the advanced levels. A plan is what you call your approach to an aim which is done by both the learner and the teacher. Having these facts in our...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Every teacher needs a confidence boost, whether they are new or experience doesn’t matter. It all depends on oneself to constantly develop and nurture one’s level of self-confidence in the classroom because being confident in teaching is crucial as this is something transmittable. Your students always reflect your confidence level and this might affect their way of absorbing the language taught in the classroom. If a teacher is confident in what they’re doing, so are the students and unfortunately, the students can quickly spot the lack of confidence which can lead to complications in classroom management. Here are 6 easy ways to help new teachers to boost their confidence in a classroom environment: This post was written by our...  [Read more]

Federico Riva TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Here perhaps the first thing we should do is to make a distinction between the two main types of dictionary and that distinction is between the monolingual and the bilingual dictionary. In a monolingual dictionary you have a word and its associated meaning and those two are both described for example in English. So the word and the description of that word are both given in English. However, in a bilingual dictionary the word could be for example, given in English and the explanation given in Thai and vice versa. Firstly within the dictionary itself obviously we can get things like how words are spelled or the spelling of the word. We can also get the pronunciation of that word because most dictionaries will involve the...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Stories are an important part of any culture, English speaking or not. They can be oral or written and can showcase how culture works and their history.

When working with young children in Early Childhood settings, stories help children to make sense of their world, safely express their emotions, and explore new ideas and values. For example, a story that focuses on friendships might help a child who struggles to make connections with others. A...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas One of the repeating themes of this TEFL course has been the games a classroom may participate in, and the many variants of games appropriate for the learning of English. Examples are hangman, crossword puzzles, word jumbles, 20 questions, and many more to mention. The games can often serve very specific purposes, which were perhaps not the original intentions for the games, however within the classroom they can perfectly fit into their role. Tongue-twisters are an excellent choice when practising pronunciations on students in the fluency stage of the lesson, as it allows them to make mistakes without the fear of embarrassment from failure (as failure is almost certain for everybody, at least once), and forces them to apply the words quickly without much...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Reading plays an important role in language learning. It is one of the language skills that can be used to interpret a written text and discuss the given information applying speaking and listening skills as well.
