Hey all!

This is my first post on my blog (exciting!). Here I will try to post things solely on Education and Teaching, it being local or international, as well as great ideas that I have come across. I'll also be mentioning some things I come across in my online TESL course. 

Laters!

TESL 0110 Assignment 3: Grammar Activity

TESL 0110  Assignment 3: Grammar Activity -Scenario 2- You are teaching a course called English for Academic Purposes in a government-funded program in Manitoba. Your students are CLB 7-8 learners who hope to study at a post-secondary institution after completing this course. Students have been working on writing expository essays. In their writing, you notice that they are still confusing simple past (to report on generalities or truths) and present perfect (to report on aspects from the past which are relevant to the present). Much of the corrective feedback you have provided on their writing so far has been about essay structure. What would you do? -What would you do? - At the beginning of the class, I would let the class know that there seems to be confusion when writing in the simple past tense with the present perfect tense and vice versa. Thus, as to correct the errors occurring, we would look at the two tenses. Warm-up Activity 1 I would arrange the students to work in pai...

TESL 0130 - Unit 4 Reflection

TESL 0130 - Unit 4 Reflection - Passing on the torch, Empowering the English Language Learner This Unit was short but it had lots of information. I learned about Autonomy in learning and its strategies, the concept is pretty straightforward, in the way that learners should be held accountable for their learning and by doing so they will learn many things. As well as the notion that the students get to choose what they want to learn versus us the instructors telling them what to learn. So to be more of a guide in their learning than actual teaching (is what I have understood). And the other idea of options is how would they demonstrate what they learned? - This portion of the course really reminded me of Universal Design for Learning (that lessons should be done for all kinds of learners), and that students should have options for example, in how to demonstrate what they have learned, via a small video clip, role play, in writing, audio recording, etc...as long as the rubric is consi...

My PLN (Personal Learning Network)

Image
Hey! So last week, as I was reading my TESL course, we were to talk about our PLN (Personal/Professional Learning Network). In which we were to state our connections, with people and the media, as in, where do we find and look for ideas? Where do we get information and such.  So we were to do a collage or a drawing of our 'networking'. As I did this, I was already thinking that my networking was going to be pretty sad, since I don't really delve into social media that much, but when I was done with my schema it didn't seem so bad. I know for sure that I'll need to do more 'networking', it's not really my forte. But I do keep in touch with some of my old classmates from Memorial University Of Newfoundland and Labrador, Faculty of Education of 2016 (shout out!😁), we use Facebook to keep in touch and pass ideas or ask for help, and my co-op teacher from practicum, among others. This is all I have on this topic of now. Laters! 😉
