The final stage of the lesson will be the activate and the activate phase is going to form the main speaking activity within the lesson. So, it's very very important that here, we do a good demonstration of what it is that we're expecting them to do, that we elicit the type of target language we're expecting them to produce from the activity. So, one way we could go around it is to, firstly, form pairs. Each pair is going to be given a card and onto that card they're going to write the country and a month. What the teacher can then do, just to add a little bit of spice to it, is to collect all of the cards and shuffle them around and then redistribute them to the pairs so that they get a card that doesn't have their country or their month on it. What they're then going to do is to be asked to create a weather forecast for that country in that particular month. Now obviously, this will be written down and once all of the students have completed their forecast, what we can then do is the main speaking activity, where they would actually read out this particular information. So, obviously, we would need to feedback on that afterwards. If there are any common mistakes between all of these feedback sessions, then we can cover those after the session has finished.
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 Unit 1, I have learned that the roles of teachers are very important to the learning of students. Teachers have to be able to motivate and make lessons relevant and enjoyable if they want to have an impact on what and how students learn. To be able to adapt to each learner is very important. Being patient and encouraging will likely give students the confidence they need to continue learning the language without fear of making mistakes or failure.This unit focuses on the uses of course books and lesson materials and their advantages and disadvantages. Many English teachers use published textbooks in their courses, but the dependency on textbooks varies, as well as the use of supplemented materials. The unit details the differences between authentic materials and created materials. I particularly found useful the descriptions of experienced versus inexperienced teachers in their use of materials.
