As English teaching teachers, there are many pressing issues concerning the criteria of assessment while we grade our students’ writings. This reflection is aimed to investigate how standardized testing has robbed students of first, their ideas, then, their ‘voice.’ Finally, encouragements and implications are suggested at the end. Writing is a constructivist process, in which writers make meaning of the world through their own experiences. Good writings, therefore, should reflect the writers’ thoughts and personality in some ways (Hillocks, 2005, cited

This is especially true when the learners are not speaking English as their mother tongue. How can we assess non-native speakers? What criterions should we take in consideration when we rate their speaking performance? It is u

As a curriculum designer, I often question myself on whether the teaching materials can be delivered and implemented in class and best deliver its value to our students.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teaching business English presents teachers with a degree of freedom that is perhaps not enjoyed by those teaching in, for example, State Schools that have curriculums set by the education arm of Government or other international organizations.

Regardless, gaining experience in the field of syllabus design will likely prove invaluable for a teacher in their personal career development. Several considerations are required when designing a syllabus for a course in Business English and these will be discussed throughout this essay along with the methods and resources necessary for their implementation.

In order to identify learners’ needs, skills and ability, teachers needs to be analyzers. They need to know learners’ ages and their learning level for each age stage, their

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Writing a lesson plan requires putting down a detailed step-by-step guide that outlines the teacher's objectives for what the students will learn during their lesson and how they will learn it. To create a lesson plan, the learning objectives should be identified, activities should be developed, and the materials to be used will also be determined. A lesson plan can exist in the teacher's mind, or written in any format understandable by the teacher. Its purpose is to outline the "program" for a single lesson. It generally helps the teacher in both plannings and executing the lesson. It helps the student achieve a detailed format of learning, and help them get a structured organization of learning in their minds. In writing the objectives of the lesson, the teacher should put in mind and into consideration why the students need to learn the objective, what they will be able to do with the knowledge after learning, and how they will demonstrate the lea

Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Business English is a powerful tool that can build bridges and connect individuals or groups of people to help them reach common goals. Having one common language as a means of communication is also a great help when starting or building a project. However, teaching business English is a specialism within English language teaching and thus requires a great deal of forward planning and some specific knowledge and skills. Here are the most important things I have learned during my time teaching business English in Brazil. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Lea D. This broad statement encompasses many things, including the teacher’s knowledge of each individual student’s overall goals, specific needs, and their current level of English. In order to provide a suitable syllabus and learning experience it is vital that you are fully aware of each individual's goals and those of the student’s company or employer. As for their need

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas ESL teachers when they meet their class for the first time should learn what students know and what they need to know. Even for General English in schools or university classrooms where students have more or less the same level of English. There should be some short tests to determine students’ gaps in knowledge, personal objectives or institutional requirements. Especially assessment is needed when teaching Business English. This essay will discuss types of assessments in the early stages of teaching Business English to students. ESL teachers are often hired by companies to improve the English knowledge of employees. Every adult student has a different level of language knowledge due to background and learning experience at schools or universities. Hence, it is crucial for a teacher to undertake a level test, find out about students’ knowledge and therefore develop an individual course for everyone. Since the aim is to ascertain the English prof

Motivation is a crucial part in learning and it has a grave importance especially in an ESL classroom. Language teachers should be aware of their role in motivating their students and take the responsibility while teaching. Students tend to get easily demotivated while they are learning a new language since it involves making many mistakes and devoting a lot of time and effort. Teachers should help their students to keep their motivation level high. There are three main steps for motivating learners. Teachers should start with setting attainable goals, blend t

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences In an article that explores the future of Assessment for Learning (AfL), Popham (2006) draws on the difference between the traditional approach known as assessment of learning, which focuses on determining what pupils know for the purposes for grading and reports and Assessment for learning, which focuses on helping ‘teachers use assessment, as part of teaching and learning, in ways that will raise pupils’ achievement’ (Assessment Reform Group, 1999, p. 2). This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Robert S. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Black et al. (2006, p. 119) draw on this shift of focus in education from ‘Learning to Learn’ which is driven by the quality of teaching to ‘Learning How to Learn’ which is driven by the quality of learning.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Most Adult ESL students are highly motivated students – at first. They are eager to join a formal class setting to improve their English skills for themselves and for their future (career). They usually voluntarily join the class (unless instructed by a manager or supervisor). So in fact, the motivation is internal and comes naturally from within themselves. This is great for the teacher and usually assures an energetic start to the class term. However, as the term continues, the motivation naturally wines down. The excitement fades and the students have more excuses for not coming to class or when in class, have a low participation rate. So, as an ESL Instructor, why is it important to keep your students motivated? And how can you go about it? These are the two questions we will be answering in this essay.
