TESOL Methods
Total Physical Response
Teaching method that uses both physical communication and body movement.
For example using gestures to represent different emotions while practicing vocabulary.
Communicative Language Teaching
Teaching approach that focuses on communication and aims to develop communicative competence.
For example, role-playing a job interview to practice speaking and listening skills.
Content-Based Instruction
Teaching method focused on non-linguistic content for language acquisition.
For example, studying French cuisine vocabulary through a speech.
Task-Based Language Teaching
Teaching method that makes task completion a priority and relates to real world activities.
For example, students work together to count and stack blocks, then say how many blocks they have in total.
Understanding Learners Needs and how to teach them
Teens
They are motivated by their personal interests and require engaging content that relates to their lives, making it essential to incorporate current topics and interactive activities to keep them involved
Teaching Teenagers Key Points
Incorporating interests like pop culture or social media to boost engagement.
Group work/collaborative learning for social interaction
Children
They thrive in playful environments, often have short attention spans, and benefit from structured routines that provide consistency and security.
Teaching Children Key Points
Use of games, songs, and visuals to reinforce language.
Creating a structured yet flexible classroom routine.
Adults
They tend to be goal-oriented, drawing from their life experiences to enhance learning. They often have limited time for study, so it's important to focus on practical applications and efficient learning strategies that fit their busy schedules.
Teaching Adults Key Points
Focus on real-world application like role-playing, job-related language skills.
Encouraging self-directed learning and critical thinking.
Teaching Different Proficiency Levels
Beginner Learner
Incorporate Total Physical Response (TPR) to help beginners connect language with movement.
Emphasize the significance of repetition, simple language, and scaffolding to build foundational skills.
Intermediate Learners
Focus on expanding vocabulary, encouraging the use of longer sentences, and promoting critical thinking skills.
Introduce role-playing scenarios and real-life contexts to make learning more relevant and engaging.
Advanced Learners
Concentrate on mastering complex grammar, idiomatic expressions, and improving overall fluency.
Facilitate discussions, debates, and opinion writing to deepen understanding and enhance communication skills.
As Educators we want to:
Build Confidence
Be interective
Create a fun environment
