In this video we'll be looking at the international phonemic alphabet and how it's used in the classroom. There are other phonemic alphabets but this is the most popular and the system, which is most widely used. You may have seen some of these symbols before as any good dictionary will supplement standard English spellings with the phonemic spellings to aid in pronunciation practice. Here we have a situation where we have what are called phonemes and each phoneme represents a sound within the English language. How is this helpful? Well, what it does is help students understand how to say words rather than simply relying on the often archaic English spellings. To illustrate this point let's for a moment put ourselves in the shoes of our students when trying to understand how to say the following words.
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 is based on the 2 esa demonstration videos that are available through our video tab of our online training system. the 2 videos are to be watched in conjunction, one after the other. Please watch the 1st video before the second. Hopefully you will be able to distinguish between the good and the bad and this will help u make the right decisions in the classroom. The videos can be viewed by streaming them directly from within the online system.I found this lesson helpful due to the outlining of various classroom management techniques that I wasn't previously aware of. Things such as how the desks can be set up clearly plays a role in how the classroom feels overall, but was never something I paid attention to whilst in school. Being reminded that students' ages and nationalities can also play a key part in how to arrange them effectively was not something I had considered before now, either.
