So let's have a look now what might take place in a typical writing lesson and, again, we're going to use the format of a straight arrow ESA lesson. Our first stage is to the go to the engage stage and, if we think back to what we said before, what we need to do is try to generate interest. So, an example here could be we show a picture first of all taken from a newspaper or magazine and then we can ask the students some questions. From looking at the picture we can ask them if they can tell us what is actually happening now as shown by the picture. Then, we can generate a bit more interest by asking them to give us ideas about what they thought was happening before this picture took place and what happened after. So, here we're just trying to build up the idea of a sequence of events taking place. They can see the picture and that's the middle event but they've also got a picture in their mind now of what happened before or could have happened before, what happened in the picture and then what happened afterwards. So ,what we can then do is to move on to our study phase.
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.
Modals, phrasal verbs and passive voice are important units and should be understood and practiced by students on Intermediate level when students start to develop certain feeling of English and can partially rely on it. I liked how main points of these quite complex parts of grammar were covered in clear and systematic way. I also found Modal Verb Chart and Passive Form chart very useful, I believe it would be a valuable addition to teaching materials.The unit offers teachers how they should manage the students in different situations.For example,it tells teachers what should they do if the students don't listen to them.Even teachers position in the classroom is really important.(When they should stand or sit)The unit also indicates teachers how they can get students attraction.For instance,teachers should find a variety of useful and fun activities to make students speak or participate in the class.
