As mentioned earlier, our example sentence has used a regular verb 'to play'. With the regular verbs we simply add '-ed'. This spelling pattern changes for words that end with a consonant and a Y: 'cry' goes to 'cried', 'try' to 'tried'. Another spelling pattern we have to be aware of is our consonant plus vowel plus consonant. In these instances, we double the consonant used: 'shop' needs the double P; 'ship' needs the double P. With these spelling patterns, and most spelling patterns in general for the English language, there are always exceptions to the rules. So we have to be aware of those exceptions. We also have to impart those exceptions on to our students. We can do so through various exercises and various activities to end our class. To form the negative sentence here, again, our subjects are in the beginning of the sentence. We keep our helping verb, whether it be have or has, and between our helping verb and the main verb in our sentence, we, of course, add the word 'not'. For forming the question of the present perfect tense again we're going to follow on with our form of inverting the subject and the helping verb. Now, we'll begin with 'have' or 'has', so we end up with questions such as 'Have I played football today?' or 'Has she played football today?'
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.
I thought this unit to be very helpful in the fact that it provides a basic understanding of simple teaching stratagy. I apprectiate the cultural section of the unit. I believe that only understanding the learning will not help to teach. We need to have a good understanding of how different cultures learn and work. As somebody who is born a non-native English speaker I know that people in the Netherlands learn differently than those in Canada or America.From this unit, I have learned how to teach special groups of students including childing,one to one lessons ,business English ,the monolingual and the multilingual class.Because each group has their own charactistics and so teachers should apply different approaches based on students' charactistics and needs.The key is to find suitable ways to motivate different groups of students,maximize their advantages and find suitable solutions to their problems.
