English Grammar - Past Continuous - Teaching Ideas 3 -- Online TEFL Course

 

http://www.teflonline.net The teaching idea in this video is for the past continuous involves students miming an action; however, unlike the mime activity for the present continuous students will not be doing the mimes for others to see. Instead they will stop the mime before the other students open their eyes. The students will then have to say what their classmates were doing before they stopped. For example: You were driving a car. You were eating a sandwich. Being able to come up with interesting teaching ideas for what students often see as boring grammar points is an important skill for any English teacher. Taking an online TEFL course with ITTT will give you an understanding of the grammar points that you need to teach when starting out as a new teacher of English and will also give you some great ideas on how to teach them.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

This unit talks about organizing and managing a class for effective learning. It goes further to outline the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods of grouping students and sitting arrangements. I have learned how to use my physical presence and voice in a classroom as well as group, organize and manage students depending on the need and activity.As a brand new student of teaching, lesson plans are going to be very important for me going forward. I really liked the simple yet comprehensive example shown in the unit and so I will be using it going forward, adding my own personal tweaks where necessary. I especially like the idea of including a personal aims section so that I can monitor my own progress.
