So let's take an example of what those drills might involve. So here is an example of a repetition drill. I will model the language and then my class will repeat after me. So "This is a cup." "Spoon" ? "This is a spoon." "Knife" - "his is a knife." Thank you. The reason that it's called or also called the army method is that it was the method adopted by the United States military who had personnel stationed around the world at the end of Second World War and they realized that they needed those personnel to pick up the language very quickly and one of the positive things about this particular methodology is that you do very quickly learn vocabulary. Another positive thing about it is that you quickly learn the correct pronunciation of that vocabulary. However, there are some negative points to it. One of the things that the drills actually lack is some form of realistic context and the fact that these drills are out of context in any real situation in the world makes it very difficult to translate the knowledge that you pick up into a new situation. The second negative thing about it is that errors would very quickly try to be forced out of the students and it was realized that errors weren't in fact such a bad thing after all.
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 presents multiple aspects of the receptive skills in detail and provides examples of how to present the material. The two receptive skills are reading and listening. Both are equally important. It's best to present difficult vocabulary before exposing the students to study material. From experience, I believe the most difficult aspect touched on in this unit is selection of texts for large classes that have students at various skill levels.This unit is much simpler than the previous unit and welcomed because of it. However, apart from the fact it follows an intense unit, Unit 17 was one of the more boring reads so far. I personally have a lot of experience with a lot of the equipment and am sure in my execution to use them. I do appreciate the discussions and warnings about the equipment that are designed to save time. Also, the section on Online Sources was informative and will be useful.
