<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>How do you conduct in-class debating?</b></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Answer:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A debate can be a powerful tool. It can help students learn to speak naturally and to listen carefully. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">By introducing structured, formal debate to my ESL classroom, my students benefit with listening, speaking and critical thinking skills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I divide students to sides of an argument, one in favor, and one against. They take it in turns to present arguments, and respond the other side, trying to persuade the rest of their class one way or the other. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stage 1: Introduce the topic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I choose a topic to which my students can relate and with practical application. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">In general, controversial issues are always a great resource for ESL students’ speaking practice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stage 2: Assign the affirmative and the negative.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are two sides to any debate. One will argue for and another against the resolution. I group my students into teams to research and argue the issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stage 3: Give time for research.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My students will need time to research the issue. They will also need to learn the specific vocabulary that may be involved. We must make sure that all students understand specialized vocabulary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stage 4: Prepare basic debate structure or outline.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First, the affirmative group receives two minutes to present their case to the audience. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The negative group then receives two minutes to present their case. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After both sides have a chance to speak, both teams receive two minutes to prepare a rebuttal and summary. The order of speech is reversed now and the negative side presents their rebuttal and summary for the first two minutes. <a href="http://busyteacher.org/7245-conducting-class-debate-essential-tips.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">More...</span></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stage 5: Make a judgment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Usually, the winner is the one who has presented the strongest case. For ESL classes, the overall purpose of speaking is more important than the specific outcome of the debate. Still, the students will probably want to know who won. To determine the winner, it is important to have the audience vote on which team they thought made the most convincing argument. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In-class debates teach public speaking skills, develop critical thinking skills, research skills, and prioritization of information.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Professor Charles Lebeau teaches English and debate in Japan. He wrote “Discover Debate” with Michael Lubetsky. The book helps English teachers and learners understand how to carry on a simple debate. The “Discover Debate” approach has three stages: creating a visual aid to communicate an argument, presenting the argument and answering the other team’s argument. Each stage puts increasing demands on language ability. It begins with a pre-debate experience. <a href="https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/successful-debate-new-learners-large-classes/2779842.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">More...</span></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Find some of the most controversial debate topics covering a wide variety of issues ranging from politics and religion to education and society.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although the topic of salary does not usually come up in an initial interview, some recruiters will want to know whether or not you are aware of the average pay rates for ESL teachers or recent graduates. Try not to tell a specific salary figure. If your potential employer presses you to do so, give a certain range. You might find information about average starting salaries to be helpful in coming up with an acceptable range. Remember, you were not offered the job. You are only discussing the possibilities. Therefore, it is too early to get into details at this stage. Most schools and companies have their recruitment policies and salary scales.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The curriculum is a guideline for the teachers which directs what academic content to teach. It covers different subjects. The curriculum is more general than the syllabus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The syllabus is a list of concepts that teachers teach in a particular course.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">New Words</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a number of ways of introducing a new word to the class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most often I think of a rich context when the word can be used and describe it to the students, or give them example sentences to clarify the meanings further.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also use an illustration. It is very useful for more specific words, such as hand, eyes, fingers, house, flag, etc. It is an effective teaching method for visual learners. Demonstrating all items is impossible. Therefore, this method has its limits. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Giving synonyms or antonyms can be effective, particularly in an intermediate or higher level. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mime lends itself particularly well to action verbs, and it can be fun and memorable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Providing definitions is another good way of introducing new vocabulary. It is important to ask a question to make sure that the students understood it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Although translation does not help all the time, there are cases when it is very effective. We should always keep in mind that not every word has a direct translation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In general, I always consider the fact that there are two main categories of words usually presented or taught in a language classroom: incidental, i.e. unfamiliar vocabulary from discussions, presentations, books or journals, and intentional, i.e. carefully pre-selected vocabulary by the teacher. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Decisions, how to present words efficiently, include the number of words to be taught, whether we are presenting form and meaning, and whether we focus on in written or spoken form. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In deciding on the number of intentional words to be taught we should take into account the following issues: learners’ level, the degree of difficulty for particular students, and whether the phrase we are preparing to teach is for production, i.e. speaking and writing, or recognition, i.e. listening and reading.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Students need to learn both the meaning and form. Therefore, I present these two aspects in close conjunction so that the students will be able to build connections between those two. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pictures, mimes, signs, and symbols are another effective teaching technique. It can be used for demonstrating the meaning, but we can apply it when we select illustratable words. The limitation is that not all words can be visually displayed. So this method should be planned in advance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Giving full definitions, synonyms, and antonyms, providing example situations, several example sentences or subject terms. In using these techniques, it is important to keep the definitions simple and with the learners’ current range. It may take longer to convey meaning, but it is worth doing that: the students are exposed to extra speaking and listening practice and have an opportunity to get a deeper insight into the meaning of the word. In using situations, the instructor can share their own or their students’ experiences. For example, they can provide a variety of situations to induce the meaning. In the case of the latter, the advantages are that students encounter the new words a few times in various contexts which increase the chances of better retention, getting a feel of different applications and grammatical forms. A variant to full definition approach is to present a layered definition, i.e. the one that is fragmented into several short statements, each one including the target word. In this way, the learners hear the target word not only in context, but they also have an opportunity to use it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I use lots of different activities to help my students learn and practice new words. These activities make vocabulary learning more exciting, as merely memorizing new words is a very tedious process. There are many exciting vocabulary learning games such as spelling bee competitions, different word matching games, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">sight words learning games, and flash cards for reading and spelling success. I sometimes use <a href="http://www.freerice.com/">www.freerice.com</a>, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the website that was designed by the United Nations Organization.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I introduce new vocabulary by displaying the words and phrases on the PowerPoint and asking the students to read them aloud together. It gives the students practice speaking the words verbally and pronouncing them correctly. Knowing how to pronounce new words is just as significant as knowing how to use them in a sentence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We should always keep in mind that there are four types of vocabulary usage: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Listening means that the students acquire vocabulary recognition skills, in the process of listening. Speaking means using words in related speech. Reading means recognizing words in the process of reading, and writing - using words in writing, i.e. understanding their meanings, knowing how to spell them, etc.</span><br />

Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697800674204033417.post-83691643399996761922016-03-08T18:28:00.004+05:302017-01-05T17:06:02.341+05:30Job interview question: How do you incorporate technology into teaching?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Students usually like modern technologies. They love laptops, smartphones, or tablets, and they can regularly bring them into the classroom. Instructors could handle this in two ways: either they can ban the technology, ignore it, or they can strive to promote it to enhance the teaching and learning process. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In my view, banning technology doesn't make much sense. If we ban technology in the classroom, we miss the opportunity to expand the students' abilities to use technology effectively for learning and research purposes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe that, if we use the technology correctly, it will make our classes interactive and engaging. In fact, technology should be an integral part of a student's life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Such devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops can make learning more interactive. They can be applied to test learner understanding of a concept or even used as a method of providing a pop quiz at the start of course. Also, many applications allow for games, question and answer responses. In language learning situations, students and teachers can share short sentences or words and phrases via text responses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Smartphones tablets or laptops can be used for recording videos. In many in-class activities, students can create short documentaries, record their speeches, and report new messages. Then, at the end of class, students can present their short documentaries to the entire class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Technology allows students to use their devices for learning and gives a chance for them to learn from each other. Teachers can also take advantage of social media. Twitter allows students to comment and take notes during class. For example, a teacher can create a hashtag for his or her class, and then encourage students to take notes including the hashtag.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Students can efficiently use writing software both in the classroom and at home. Good writing software, such as Grammarly, Ginger or WhiteSmoke can dramatically improve students' writing skills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, the teacher can use Google Drive to create a shared document, and the whole class can edit that document together at the same time. Finally, teachers can use technology to invite outside guest speakers via video conferencing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many other ways of using technology in the classroom. I strongly believe that technology can enhance learning, and improve student-teacher interaction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For a teacher, it is important to find out what technologies are already available in school and use them efficiently. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Recommended Answer:</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A great teacher has the following characteristics:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Expert in the Subject</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher, as the master of his or her subject, exhibits expertise, spends a lot of time on his or her professional development, presents learning the material in a passionate way and thus encourages students’ independent learning skills. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Organized </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher is always organized and has clear objectives. The teacher comes to school prepared, arrives early and is ready to teach his or her students. The teacher presents lessons in a clear, planned, comprehensible and structured way. The lesson is organized in such a way that it minimizes students’ distractions.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Shows, but Not Only Tells</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher shows, displays, but not tells or informs (and does not give orders). The great teacher can clarify a concept or explain a task, but he or she demonstrates it as well. The teacher brings examples into the classroom, draws pictures or diagrams, charts, graphs, maps, etc. In this way, the teacher promotes creativity and plays the role of a facilitator.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Stimulates Creativity </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher engages his or her students and in this way encourages creativity. ‘Learning by doing’ is his or her primary method of teaching because learning is an active process. Therefore, the great teacher stimulates creativity. It is impossible to pour knowledge into students’ minds like a liquid is poured into a bottle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Nice Personality</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher treats all people (without exceptions) nicely not because they are nice. The great teacher treats them nicely because the teacher himself / herself is a nice person. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Positive</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher is always positive and often smiles. The teacher’s positive attitude encourages students to study, provides them with moral support and spiritual power. Being positive when it is hard for the students (especially before exams) can have a remarkably productive and optimistic impact on the students’ performance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Kind </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher recognizes the value and importance of every human being. The teacher is helpful not only to his or her colleagues but also to all students (without any exceptions), colleagues, students’ parents and other people around him or her. The teacher’s kindness helps students feel welcomed, supported, protected, cared for and loved. It makes them feel confident and positive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Shows Respect </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher is kind to his or her students and shows respect to them. A bad teacher demands respect from students. The great teacher treats students with respect and therefore naturally earns the respect of them too. He or she is always enthusiastic, accessible and caring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Patient</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher is patient and never loses temper, never shows irritation, annoyance, frustration or anger. The teacher is patient with his or her students’ behavior, and no matter how many mistakes the students make, the teacher patiently explains. Patience demonstrates self-restraint and self-discipline and exhibits an excellent quality in a teacher that will most probably be imitated by the students in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Simple</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher speaks and explains things in an easy way and never boasts that he or she knows everything (in fact, nobody knows everything); and never tries to impress students with his or her knowledge and experience. The great teacher never tells lies and is never bombastic, arrogant, grandiloquent or overconfident.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Willing to Learn</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher learns from his or her students (gains knowledge and wisdom from those they teach). What makes him or her great teacher is that he or she is willing to learn because he or she knows (and admits it) that it is impossible to know everything. Therefore, the great teacher is never threatened by students’ difficult questions. By learning, the teacher encourages students to develop their lifelong learning skills (not just learning for a grade), because the teacher is a lifelong learner, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Able to Inspire</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The great teacher inspires his or her students. It means that even when the course is finished, the great teacher’s students continue learning and showing their interest in the subject.</span><br />

Be specific. Explain why it was the best.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Answer:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My best class was Psychology. Perhaps because it never felt like a class. The teacher was very understanding. He believed in letting the students reach their self-actualization state, and his method of teaching was more like a story-telling. I learned without realizing it.</span><br />

What makes you special?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Answer:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I guess that to a greater extent would depend on your memory, but even so I still don't think remembering my name has anything to do with me being special or not. But if you insist on knowing, I believe that everyone is special in their way, and being myself is a start. After all, an original is worth more than a copy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There can be many reasons. I think that the five reasons would be:</span><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The students was sick (or was just not feeling well).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The students was absent-minded and forgot to do his / her homework.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The student did not understand the task because it was not clearly explained by the teacher.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The student was very busy preparing another assignment.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The home assignment was not interesting.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your potential employer wants to know how much interested you are in the position and how well prepared you are for the job interview. If you are a strong candidate, you should be able to relate your skills to specific job requirements. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Answer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You should probably say the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(1) Explain why this job is so attractive to you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) Tell your basic skill or skills (choose at least the one that might be useful to the institution)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(3) Tell your three basic strengths (and explain why they would be useful to them if they employed you).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Answer (an example only!):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every teacher is a personality and has his or her own English teaching experience, and consequently, English teaching philosophy. Therefore, your answer should focus on your English teaching experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, discuss your own personality. Tell briefly about yourself professionally. Then explain why you decided to become an English teacher. In addition, you should explain who influenced you as an English teacher most of all and what aspects of teaching English you consider the most important. You can briefly discuss a few linguistic theories of second language acquisition and explain who had the most profound impact on you as an English teacher. You can mention, for example, Noam Chomsky, Geoffrey Leech and Stephen Krashen. Perhaps you could express your opinion about language learning and language acquisition and explain differences between them. Do your students learn ESL or EFL or do they acquire it? You could probably add that a second language acquisition requires meaningful interaction and your students are concerned not only with the form of their utterances but also with the messages that they convey to the recipients. You should also consider what aims of a second language teaching and learning are. Most foreign language instructors and researchers claim that the aim of learning a foreign language is communication, either spoken or written. You should also discuss your role in the language classroom: explain what you teach and how you teach. In addition you can tell how you prepare your teaching materials and lesson plans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you probably know, students learn a foreign language better, if they are motivated to learn. Therefore, it is important for you to show that you are the teacher who knows how to motivate your students. Here are a few aspects to consider.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all, it is important to teach students how to study. Most students do not know how to learn vocabulary, how to develop their listening skills, and how to develop their thinking skills in English. A few useful tips might increase your students’ knowledge and motivation. Second, your students should understand that acquiring a foreign language means that students pick up the language practical skills that they need for communication purposes. Students should not try to memorize randomly grammar rules, syntactical structures and phrases. Language is a way of learning about the world and it is most effectively acquired in the meaningful context. Meaningful contexts stimulate students to think and learn about the world through the use of the target language: students learn effectively if they try to classify, contrast and compare certain facts and solve problems in the classroom. Third, you should explain which English language teaching methods you use with certain groups of children - based on their interests, age, class size, and course requirements. Also, you should explain how you motivate your students by using various strategies, such as learner-centered activities, informal assessment and cooperative learning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, you should mention that an effective teacher should contribute to their school not only through teaching but also through community service, administrative responsibilities and research activities. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You should summarize your statement by telling how you relate teaching to education and how you share your teaching experiences with other teachers and with your students’ parents. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Answer:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Assessment can be divided into the following types: initial, formative, and summative. In the classroom environment teachers conduct informal assessment and the final exams are considered as formal assessment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Initial assessment (also called a <i>diagnostic test</i>) is conducted before starting the teaching process. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Formative assessment basically involves qualitative feedback which is important to a teacher and to a student. For example, an English teacher asks students to use the correct forms of irregular verbs in a sentence. If all students perform the task correctly, the teacher moves on. If some students do not perform well, the teacher explains the rule. If most students do not understand the subject, the teacher reviews irregular verbs and pays students' attention to the most difficult or confusing cases. Formative assessment actively supports student learning and if conducted properly, it can motivate students. It is often called <i>assessment for learning</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Summative assessment monitors educational outcomes. This type of assessment, according to Bloom, 'assures adaptation of teaching and learning activities in the ways that enable students to attain intended learning outcomes'. Summative assessment is aimed at accountability and grading and is often called <i>assessment of learning</i>.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Assessment can also be distinguished as objective and subjective. Objective assessment is based on observation of measurable facts. Subjective assessment is based on personal opinion and personal interpretation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Answer:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1.</b> ESL learners should <u>record their voice</u> and then listen to it. This exercise can help them to detect the mistakes that they are making.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2.</b> ESL learners should <u>use audio books</u> more frequently. While listening, they should look into the text and read at the same time. They should record themselves reading texts of the audio book. Then they should compare the pronunciation and accent of their own English with the English of the native speaker from the audio book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3.</b> ESL learners should <u>read aloud in English</u> for at least thirty minutes every day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To improve American accent and pronunciation, use the following links and resources:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="http://www.esldrive.com/americanenglish.html">http://www.esldrive.com/americanenglish.html</a></span><br />

How do you motivate these students? <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many reasons why students are not interested in learning
English. It sometimes happens that the subject matter of the lesson is boring. <span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; line-height: 115%;">It is important to be creative and plan lessons based on your
students’ interests</span>. Perhaps you should watch and discuss video clips.
You could also choose to do some interesting quizzes, mind maps or board games. Also, discuss with your students their favorite hobbies, group projects; design posters or just
watch a music video and practice singing a song. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

in learning. </span>Movies and stories about
famous people would most probably catch their attention. Once they start showing their interest, you can work on comprehension and start developing their critical thinking skills. Try to make students feel happy. Try to create a connection
based on interest, pleasure and fun.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
