Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teaching English at a university and in a foreign country entails different considerations and expectations which vary from country to country. University students have often studied English for numerous years, but have not had many opportunities to practice it with native speakers. For China specifically, tests and textbooks have often been seen as the ultimate achievement, not a means to the actual production of English (Wen 2016). With this in mind, it is crucial to utilize the often large pre-existing pool of knowledge of English that many students already have into productive tasks that allow students to creatively and critically apply their knowledge to practical application.Table of Contents ESA Modification Cultural Awareness Do you want to teach...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The Oxford English dictionary defines Vocabulary as "the body of words used in a particular language". From this definition, it is obvious that teaching vocabulary to new students of the English language will not be an easy thing due to the complexity and nature of the language. Context is very important when teaching vocabulary. The Shakespearean language of the 16th Century has evolved from the Victorian era, or to that of the early 20th century and today's 21st century. The location also determines the use of certain vocabulary and expressions. For example, the English spoken in London is different from that of Liverpool, Glasgow, New York, Houston, Ottawa, etc. It is important for a good teacher to be well versed and open-minded about certain...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In many societies, it's become seemingly common for parents to focus their role in a child's education mostly to control their academic progress. Many drop their children in school and right there, their mindsets switch to 'adult matters'. They only visit schools when they're summoned by school administration because a child's behavior has become unacceptable. Few are active on matters that touch on the child's well-being and rarely attend parents' forums called to discuss curriculum, child well-being issues, and emerging trends. Truth be told, the role of a parent in the life of a child as far as education is concerned is of key importance, and parents who play active roles in the lives of their children on education matters rarely ignore school...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas In my opinion, a parent should learn English too. Learning English is a long trip for every kid. Taking China, for example, Chinese parents let their kids accept English language education when they are two or three years old even earlier. Chinese parents want their kids to get more vocabulary, fluently speaking, and get familiar with the English-communication environment. But this situation only happened in language training school which has foreign teachers(English native speakers) and use English during the class. It means that parents pay a lot of money to let their kids have the environment. But most kids only have one-hour of the environment per week. How does the environment work? How can the kids get familiar with English?Table of Contents My...  [Read more]
