I PASSED THE COURSE June, 2020 AND THIS IS THE EXACT DETAILS I DID IN MY TEFL ACADEMY ASSIGNMENT. DISCLAIMER: THIS ONLY YOUR BASIS OR REFERENCE. REVISE THIS AND MAKE YOUR OWN TOPIC, DO NOT COPY AS IT IS as if you are found to have sourced any part of your work from another student's assignment, you...
A) Presenting 3 of your selected vocabulary items which would need to be concept checked,
Show how you would elicit, explain and concept check each of the three items.
1) Diplomat
I will first explain the meaning to the students : Diplomat - an official whose job is to represent one
country in another, and who usually works in an embassy.
I will then explain the word in context: A diplomat is a person appointed by a state or an
intergovernamental institution such as the United Nations or the European Union to conduct diplomacy
with one or more other States or international organizations.
I will then explain the form and pronunciation of the word: Diplomat is a noun. (The Tefl Academy Unit 4)
and the pronunciation is /ˈdɪp·ləˌmæt/ The stress is on the first of the 3 syllables Ooo.
I will then explain to them that there are some other things to keep in mind: A diplomat is a person who is
skilled at dealing with difficult situations in a way that does not offend people.
To check student understanding, I will ask them the following concept questions (The Tefl Academy, Unit 2)
that they need to answer with a YES/NO:
1) Is a person who is good at dealing with people in a way that avoids bad feelings? Yes
2) One employed or skilled in diplomacy? Yes
3) A person whose work is keeping good relations between the governments of different countries?
Yes
I will then explain: The main functions of diplomats are: representation and protection of the interests and
nationals of the sending State; initiation and facilitation of strategic agreements; treaties and conventions;
promotion of information; trade and commerce; technology; and friendly relations
I will then use the technique elicitating (The Tefl Academy, Unit 2) after I explained the above and ask the
class to give me another word for diplomat in this context: The answer should be Ambassador.
I will then tell the class to write down the new word in their vocabulary book so that they dont forget the
word.
2) Community
I will first use the technique of elicitating and tell the students: There is a community of interest that
gathers at Stonehenge, England, for the summer solstice.
I will then explain the meaning of Community: the people who live in a particular area, or a group of people
who are considered as a unit because of their shared interests or background.
