What I've learned in "Communicative Language Teaching" this semester
Ask
me
first...
always provide input for speaking activities
start each lesson with a short speaking task
gets students into the right mood
makes students start thinking in English
breaks the ice
differentiation
is a crucial part of lesson planning
think of your students as individuals
different needs, interests, abilities must be taken into account
different learning styles
one size doesn't fit all
different ages have different needs, competences, and cognitive skills
teaching grammar should not be an isolated thing
competence + performance
students need terminology of grammar (for feedback)
use a grammar book (students write grammar themselves and remember it better)
teach grammar and immediately make students use it
storytelling
the children feel like you're giving them something personal
it's easier to understand a story that's told than a story that's read
use visual aids
participation: children retain 60% of what they do, 30% of what they see, and only 10% of what they hear
