Teach yourself grammar before you teach others
Learn the difference between inductive and deductive teaching, and how to use both
- inductive – bottom-up method, discovery process,
- deductive - less effective, often used,
Keep learning and keep trying
Plan your ESL lesson
The main features of inductive teaching:
- It starts with examples
and asks learners to find rules
- Information is not
directly supplied by the teacher
- Independent thinking is
developed in this strategy
- The students learn to
analyze and process the information
- Authentic learning is
achieved
- Completing a table
- Sorting or grouping
- Finding information in
a text
- Answering questions
- Sequencing
- Writing a reflection
- Text completion
- Multiple choice
- Fill in the blank
- True – False
- Matching
- Sequencing
- Completing a graphic
organizer
- Show your students the headline and ask them to say / write the words which are connected with the given topic (predicting the vocabulary),
- Which words have you found in the
text? - Find all the numbers, what do they
describe? (amount of money? year? age?)
- Mark all the commas in the text (Where? Why?)
- Mark all the negative sentences (What tense it is?)
- In paragraphs find the word(s)
which describe(s): - A: there were many people at the
concert (well attended) - B: a place where people meet for
an organized event (venue) - C: people or company that
organizes or provides money for an artistic performance or a sporting event
(promoters) - D: the physical or mental energy
that you need to do something; something that takes a lot of energy
(effort)
LISTENING STRATEGIES
1. Prediction – What could the passage be about?
2. Background knowledge – What do I already know about this topic?
3. Activate topic vocabulary – Which words/phrases do I already know in this subject?
4. Sounding out – What would the words sound like in English?
5. Cognates – Listen for words that sound like English words!
6. Resemblance – Listen for words that sound like other words that I know
7. Intonation – Use intonation to assess the information focus!
8. Grammar – Use grammar to assess the importance of individual words
9. Extraction – list for the gist of the passage, not every single word
LISTENING STRATEGIES
10. Extra linguistic clues – Use background noise, music, and more to help you to understand
11. Visual clues – Use visuals to help you understand (location, gestures…)
12. Genre – What kind of listening passage is it? (news, report, interviews, comedy, documentary…)
13. Tone – What is the tone of the passage? (neutral, persuasive, satirical, argumentative…)
14. Audience – Who is the intended audience? (children, adults, teenagers, scientists, sports fans, shoppers…)
15. Context – Use the context to help you understand individual words
16. Inference – I have heard the word “in several times, it could mean”…
17. Logic – What can´t it mean? “x”
18. From meaning to form – Use listening to practise / extend your vocabulary and grammar knowledge
TASKS: - Write first 5 words of
each speaker. - Write 5 (adjectives,
adverbs…) you have heard in the listening
- Which words have you
heard? (give a list of vocab, tick or cross the words)
- What tenses have you
identified? (examples?)
- Write a short review of
each speaker´s opinion
TASKS with the SCRIPT: - Listen to the speaker
and mark the intonation,
- Try to repeat the
sentences - Mark the words which
are new / difficult to pronounce (practise the pronunciation)
- Mark the tenses /
vocabulary, structures…
- Rewrite the script in
your own words (try to use new vocabulary)
Repeat the question
Q: Tell me about the movie that you enjoyed.
S: A movie that I enjoyed…
Remark on the question
- That´s an interesting question.
- Let me think about that.
- That´s a long story, let me give you the short version.
Say that you are thinking
- Well…
- Let me see…
- Oh, gosh, well…
Use markers
- Well firstly…..secondly… and then…

PREWRITING STRATEGIES

5 W's and 1 H: Who?, What?, Where?, When?, Why?, How?
Do not edit, do not stop
A good introduction paragraph
Convince the reader that your essay is worth reading.
Start your introduction broad, but not too broad.
Try to avoid clichés.
Provide only helpful, relevant information.
Provide relevant background, but don’t begin your true argument.
A good conclusion paragraph
Remind the reader of the thesis statement and answer the question, “So What?”
Give the essay a sense of completion and closure
Leave the reader with a final, lasting impression
Make the reader glad that he or she read your paper
Writing tasks: - Rewrite the task
so it has the same meaning
- Mark the linking words
- Mark all the
commas in the text (where?why?)
- Find and mark
the tenses in the text
(past simple, passive voice…etc.) - Rewrite the text into the past tense
Divide your time (and track your time)
Choose the materials you want to work with (books, CDs, tests…)
Change the activities
- routines,
- tiredness, concentration,
- low score of lesson exercises
Let your student feel that he/ she knows or has learnt something new,
Boost your student´s self-esteem and inner motivation
