  And so on to the final phase of the ESA lesson, which is called the activate phase. What we have done so far, if you remember, is to engage the students, to get them talking and thinking in English, where possible we've elicited the teaching point from the students and covered any gaps in knowledge to make sure that the teaching point has been fully covered and then we've checked understanding of that teaching point by asking targeted and specific questions. Usually the types of activities that we've done for the study phase will involve using a single word in order to answer those questions correctly this, however, is not how language is actually used. When we use language, we always use it in some form of context. So the purpose of the activate activity is to put that teaching...  [Read more]

  This presentation is going to have a look at the idea of receptive skills and how we can go about teaching receptive skills lessons. There are two receptive skills and they are reading and listening. If we think about first of all, why do we read or listen, then there are probably two main answers to that. Firstly, it could either be for entertainment or it could be for a specific purpose. Within the reading and listening areas there are a number of sub-skills that we can teach our students. Firstly, what we can do is to show different examples of reading. So, let's say, for example, that we have just bought ourselves a new video camera and along with that video camera came a whole book of instructions. In order to find out how to get that camera working, then we would need to...  [Read more]

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and English Language Teaching (ELT) are often used interchangeably, but they have nuanced differences. TESOL is a broad umbrella term that encompasses the teaching of English to non-native speakers in English-speaking countries, as well as teaching English as a foreign language in non-English-speaking countries. On the other hand, ELT specifically focuses on the teaching of English as a foreign language to non-native speakers in countries where English is not the primary language. In terms of scope, TESOL covers a wider range of contexts and situations compared to ELT. TESOL programs often include coursework on linguistics, second language acquisition theory, language teaching...  [Read more]
