Another idea for the present continuous tense focuses on the action of miming. Because it's in the present continuous tense, it'll be critical that the student, who is doing miming, continues to do the miming as the students guess what he or she is doing. In order to do this, the teacher will ask one student to come to the front of the class and present them with a card. The card at low levels will just be one word such as 'sleeping,' 'surfing,' 'eating,' or 'playing'. As soon as the student is able to mine any one of those actions, the students continue to guess with 'You are sleeping,' 'You are eating,' 'You are surfing.' Now at higher levels what you could do is continue on from the base of the action and include something like 'You are playing football,' or 'You are playing video games,' 'You are eating spaghetti,' or 'You are eating spicy food.' Once the student at the front of the room doing the mining has successfully gotten their fellow student to guess the action, he or she then has a seat with the rest of the group and somebody else will come up to do another mime. Hopefully, by the end of the class, at least all of the students will have had a chance to come up and mime a certain action.
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.
In this unit, I learned a lot! The unit covered modal auxiliary verbs - can, could, may, might, should, etc - and their usages and different tense forms. It also covered the passive voice and how it is constructed in different tenses, relative clauses (and the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses), and phrasal/multi-word verbs and the three types and how they differ: intransitive, transitive separable, and transitive inseparable.I have learnt what to do to spruce up my CV, so as to appeal to more to employers. Also, when teaching in a foreign country, one has to be well aware of the cultural differences as this can cause many problems. I have also learnt about Geert Hofstede's four original cultural dimensions which are; Masculinity, Individualism, Power Distance Index, Uncertainty Avoidance Index and Long-Term Orientation. Also, one should be completely honest on his or her CV.
