TESL 0100 - Unit 2 - Review

Unit 2 - Who will I teach? This unit taught me and showed me the different types of people that I may encounter in my journey as an ESL teacher. The notion that I may be teaching young children, all the way to professionals is quite nerve-racking, but in a good way. The thought of teaching the younger ones seems fun with all the possible activities that could be done but also a little tough thinking about all the energy that class may have.  As for teaching older individuals might seem like my cup of tea, since I'm not that much younger myself, but being able to delve more deeply into lessons via experiences they have had can make for interesting lessons. The unit also spoke about the different proficiencies that one could encounter in a course. Already somewhat knowing that there are Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced learners for second language acquisition (because I had done my practicum for a Spanish class once upon a time, and I did learn some Spanish in University as ...

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! 😉

TESL - 0130 Adapting a Text

Unit 2 - Adapting a Text As to get into the spirit of Halloween, I decided to look at a text relating to this celebration. I am not teaching at the moment; However, I’ll would be adapting this text for mainly ESL classes for high school students, ages between 16 -18 at the advanced level.     The course stated that there are three criteria’s for selecting a text: Suitability, Exploitability, and Readability. Suitability : Is this text interesting and appropriate for my class? Yes, I believe it is. The students are at the age in which the dilemma of the article states. I also believe it would be interesting for all English Language Learners to know the customs of the Country they are staying in and the fact that their fellow student/friends and school will be experiencing these customs. Therefore it is relevant and they could easily relate to the issue at hand. Is this text challenging? Yes, but in a good way. There will be new words that they will experience...
