This presentation is going to cover the teaching of productive skills. To start with, if we think about the way in which you learnt your first language, most of us go through a particular process. Firstly, we listen to those around us, after that first silent period of listening to other people, then we start to make utterances. Having learned to speak to a certain extent at least, we then go on to learn how to read and to write and this process that we go through is actually covering the four skills that we're trying to teach our English students. So, we have listening, speaking, reading, and writing. If we group those skills into their different types, then the two skills of reading and listening are known as receptive skills, whereas the skills of speaking and writing are known as productive skills. In this session, we're going to focus on the production skills and have a look at how to create a lesson for that.
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 is a great introductory unit on what is expected from teachers and learners. While there are many ways to categorize the subjects, I feel this chapter will be more relevant once a teacher has a post and can see what type of class they have and how they should teach that specific class. An example was given that in many Asian countries a classroom is expected to be quiet except for the teacher, so some of these teaching examples may not work there.This was a very interesting unit as it taught me many way to use technology as enhancement to the lesson. I am very familiar with computer based language skills programs and other learning methods so this not new. I had not thought much before about using a tape recorder however now that we can recored on a smart phone this would be a good help. This may also allow students to take the lesson home and hear their mistakes and work on self-corrections.
