This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
Basic understanding of English language systems and language skills is imperative to work in the ESL/EFL classroom with confidence. Possessing basic understanding of nature of language means the teacher must be aware with structural as well as communicative view of language developed in last two hundred years. Structural view of language covers the study of language at the level of phonology (the systematic study of sound system in a particular language), lexis, vocabulary and grammar. Linguistic also classifies the scope of its study at three levels; phonology (study of sound system in a particular language), morphology (study of vocabulary and words) and syntax (study of sentence formation). The communicative view of language primarily extended the structural view of language adding situational and functional (communicative) aspects. The research has proved both view are relevant and important and any of them cannot be overruled while teaching the language in the classroom. This perspective in total is called ‘The Language Systems’. The other important aspect, the teacher needs to be aware is the skill in which the teacher wants to enable his students to communicate. There are four language skills; Listening, speaking, reading and writing. Listening and speaking are
oral mode of skills and reading are written mode of skills. Listening and reading are receptive skills and speaking and writing are productive skills. Again, there may be several aspects to look upon these skills. If we have a look upon these following sentences, we will find they are connected with various systems of the language and can be interpreted differently. 1) I went to London; IÂ’ve been to London. Grammar 2) Lend me $5. Could you possibly lend me $5? Function 3) Library; bookstore Lexis 4) Foot; foots Grammar 5) IÂ’d rather not; no way Function 6) Hit; heat Phonology 7) Photograph; photographer Lexis 8) Should; must Function Language systems and the language skills encircle the domain in which the teacher is supposed to incorporate text books and materials offering effective teaching to the students as per their objectives and needs. Application of Language systems and the language skills in an imaginary situation Imagine that you work in a language
school. You have just received a new student from Korea who wants to study English prior to entering a university in the U.S. The student takes the placement test, which based on all grammar and vocabulary and mostly multiple choice. He scores quite high; however, he does not speak very well and has difficulty understanding even the simplest spoken language. Now, a language teacher is assigned to devise a balance of the four skills and the four systems for her study program. The model Korean student in this assignment is proficient in grammar and vocabulary but he is facing problems in speaking skill and has difficulty understanding even the simplest spoken language. As far as his need is concerned, he wants to get prepared for a university in the U.S. First of all, multiple choice questions are useful to check the concept of the learners. They are objective and do not give any information about his competence with reference to productive skills like writing or speaking. To prepare a plan for his teaching, I would like to specify the following points. Certainly, they will be considered in syllabus and activities to be devised for him. I. He is proficient in the knowledge of grammatical rules and prima facie meaning of the vocabulary so there is a little need to emphasize
on grammar or vocabulary. II. He is very weak in speaking skills, so speaking skills, types of speaking, attitudes, accent, pronunciation, stress, intonation, body gesture will be the key components. III. Since listening is an input skill and very import for speaking skill, it will also cover the above speaking point as well as listening sub skills like listening for gist, specific information, detail, functions, attitudes. IV. As he is going to take admission in a university, his objective is to be good in academic writing. The course content should focus on skills like note taking, note making, writing essay and reports etc. V. Reading is also very important part of his objectives. He is to be trained in sub reading skills like skimming, scanning, reading for detail, deducing meaning from context etc. Unfortunately the placement test does not give any information about his competence in other skills except grammar and vocabulary. In this situation, I would like to adopt an integrated course which will include listening, speaking, reading and writing.
