Moving further down our list of the parts of speech, we have our prepositions. Prepositions show a relationship between a noun or a pronoun and the rest of the sentence. We have three main categories: time, place, movement as well as a miscellaneous category that doesn't fit the other three. Here, we can have prepositions of time: before, during, in, at or on. If I said, "I work at eight o'clock," I'm sharing a relationship between the time "eight o'clock" to the rest of the sentence. We have our prepositions of place: in, at, on, under, in between. If I said, "The book is under the table," I'm showing a relationship between the table and the rest of the sentence. Then, we have our prepositions of movement. These show movement: towards, from, to or through. I could say, "He walked through the park." I'm relating the park to the rest of the sentence. Finally, we have our others: of, with, for, etc. I could say "This is a gift for Gary." Again, I'm showing a relationship between Gary and the rest of the sentence. Of course, the prepositions listed here are just a small example of all the propositions.
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 was quite complex which my be reflected in my result. I would not look forward to teaching this kind of lesson to students. Even though the activity ideas for students seem straightforward I think I would find it challenging to clearly explain to students the different conditions. I could also imagine questions on this topic being complex and difficult to answer especially if I was not confident. This is definitely a unit I will have to review.This unit covered the different theories and techniques to lead a group of new learners. The main focus was on an ESA structure which I believe was extremely useful in starting to develop ideas for how to lead sessions. It is a useful framework for how to structure the time and keep the learners motivated. The unit also focused on errors and correcting students which is extremely important as keeping your learners motivated is a key factor in success.
