TESL 0100 - Unit 7 Review

Unit 7 - How do I manage my class? This unit looked at classroom management which, when read it seems a little frightening. I have to 'manage' an entire classroom 😰. The textbook Teaching by Principles  by Brown and Lee. State that we will be called on daily to deal with the unexpected and that we will engage in unplanned teaching, which might deviate us from our lesson plan. That we need to deal with it gracefully and the key is 'POISE'. That we more than anything is to stay calm and assess the change and allow the lesson to continue (Brwon/Lee, p.295).  Even as I go to work every day, I always prepare for the unexpected, so to me, this is a bit of a heads up, but regardless if the students are learning something out of the information when we were lead astray it has some value (even though it's not what you had planned). I think in order to have good or great class management skills, is the overall respect that you have for yourself and your students (which

TESL 0100 - Unit 6 Review

Unit 6 - How do I plan for language instruction? 🤔 hmmm.....  great question! Hahahaha. So in this unit, we looked at how to make a lesson plan, and although I have only done so many thus far, I find them super time-consuming! In the course, it suggests approximate times to get certain activities done. Sadly I am apparently one of these people that needs the whole day just to do a lesson plan! 😭   I somewhat exaggerate... a bit. It does take me longer than the suggested time, but I guess I just need more practice to do so. Anywho, making the lesson plan in itself is quite fun, I learn soo much as I do them. This unit provided some great samples of doing lesson plans, and they are very helpful! I love the layout and the amount of detail it shows me (I am a big fan of details and explanations why). I learned much more than the simple, "Introduction, middle (lesson), and conclusion/end." Also, I never had to plan for a 2hr class before but the setup examples really help v

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 as they
