TEFL Online Training Unit 3: PlanningSpontaneity vs. Preparedness - CORRECT ANSWER-Planning means two
things: preparation and timing. A common mistake pre-service instructors make
is relying solely on their students to keep up the momentum of class discussions.
This is not good. We should remember that as teachers we are ultimately
responsible for directing the pace and flow of the lesson. If we come to class
unprepared, we run the risk of making the unpleasant discovery that last week's
wonderful class of eager beavers will have, in this week's lesson, mysteriously
transformed into an unresponsive behemoth.
"Unresponsive Behemoth" - CORRECT ANSWER-This means that when the
teacher introduces the topic for the week and asks an open-ended discussion
question, the class is quiet. Occurs when a teacher attempts class without
necessary preparation and depends on the students to lead class momentum.
Freestyle Conversation aka. "Free Talk" - CORRECT ANSWER-1.) Don't rely on
just a few students. Remember who the eager beavers have been recently, and
ignore them politely. Try to enlarge the circle as much as possible.
2.) Allow awkward and somewhat long periods of silence.
3.) Limit the time of freestyle discussion to 5-10 minutes of class time, and don't
use it all the time for office hours either. This means that your freestyle discussion
can serve as a warmer, and as a way to introduce a new topic or re-envision on
an old one.
Five Things to Rely on When Planning - CORRECT ANSWER-Simple Activities,
lists, Textbooks and Printed Handouts, Communal Activity Materials, and Realia.
Simple Activities for Class - CORRECT ANSWER-Guess the Word
Word Bingo
20 Questions
Two Truths and a Lie
Fake-out
MASH
, Lists - CORRECT ANSWER-When you have spare moments throughout the day,
at a coffee house or in the teachers' lounge, take some time to create and add to
your lists, which would contain
Idioms.
Proverbs and sayings.
Clothing items or other concrete vocabulary under topic headings.
Situations that can be quickly introduced and used in role-play activities.
Tongue twisters.
Minimal pairs and pronunciation drill items.
Sentence examples under topic headings.
Mind maps in the form of web diagrams or Venn diagrams partially completed
with vocabulary.
Once you have some lists compiled, it becomes a lot easier for you to plan
lessons or just to use the lists spontaneously during class time.
Textbooks and Printed Handouts - CORRECT ANSWER-Printed handouts are
great. Each handout takes the form of a double-sided A4 piece of paper, with
headings and content and graphics, which can be printed and photocopied for
each of your students or for groups to use. Generate and collect enough of these
handouts, and you will have an excellent portfolio, always ready for demos for
new teaching jobs or save-the-day lessons for those times when you lacked time
to prepare anything new. Printed handouts are new to your students, more so
than "open your books to page 37", and can show that you care.
Communal Activity Materials - CORRECT ANSWER-An example of this would be
a class scrapbook, which in its initial form is just an oversized notebook with an
attractive cover. It gets introduced to the class with some customization, boldly
and attractively written text that says "Grade 3, Class 2". Students are welcome
to bring two-dimensional objects
Photographs
Newspaper and magazine clippings
Small notes to share with the class
A pen, to write a new short entry
