Before we move on to the planning of a lesson for speaking skills, something that we need to look at first is the idea of the accuracy versus the fluency of speaking. Accuracy relates to the correct usage of grammar and vocabulary, whereas fluency relates to our ability to continue speaking without any interruption. Now, ultimately within a whole ESA lesson or within language learning itself fluency and accuracy are equally important. Within an ESA lesson, however, depending upon which stage we're at in that lesson, then we're either focusing on accuracy or we're focusing on fluency. Remember in the ESA lesson, in the study phase, this is where we're looking at the target language where we're doing our language learning, so it's very important in this stage that we focus on the accuracy of the language, whereas in the activate stage we're trying to get the students to use the language in the realistic way and what we want them to do there is to focus on fluency.
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.
so many tests and so many purposes - i always liked small quizes and tests at the end of a lesson. It always sums up the lesson and one has confidence that it sank in and if there are a few mistakes then one can quickly revise them and redo the test. Progress tests are the most effective in my opinion because it keeps you on your toes. Final tests on a whole course may depend too much on the memory more than knowledge and one can lose confidence easily.In Unit 18 modals, the different voices in English and phrasal verbs were lightly covered. This unit has taught me how to realize the key differences between the different types of modals, and phrasal verbs which are at times difficult for a native to realize due to them being second nature. So in reading this unit I have been given tools to realize which is which, and furthermore how to best teach them to students and encourage them to use them freely.
