Welcome to Let's Teach English.
-
This Siri's offers free online training for English language educators worldwide.
-
Voice of America and the University of Oregon.
-
Her partners.
-
On this project, we join a group of teachers who have been studying with this Siri's.
-
They will share what they have learned.
-
Let's get started.
-
You have been watching the videos.
-
Yeah.
-
Okay.
-
Now think about what we did today with the first picture.
-
Your assignment was to choose a teaching topic, explain it in your own words and give an example where you say that in the video courts.
-
Can you tell me what you chose?
-
I chose Constructivism.
-
Mine is about communicative language teaching methods.
-
I looked for some learner centered practices such as a teaching students how to use learning strategies vary.
-
Get since less teach English is built on the theory off Constructivism, why don't you start?
-
Sounds good to me.
-
When I think of building or constructing something, I see a house or school.
-
To me, Constructivism means my students are taken and new ideas and new words and building their own understanding off the wall around them.
-
I found example off this in Unit four.
-
Technology first the teacher prepare students to read the story by talking about the content.
-
She has.
-
Her students spring in pictures of technology that they know about.
-
In this way, students start with things that they already know about.
-
Then they can connect that to the new information.
-
In the story.
-
They read a story and learn about a mobile library called Solar Spell.
-
Her students make a picture to explain the solar spell library in their own words.
-
They knew some things to start with, but they had to construct or build on their knowledge.
-
Okay, great start on Constructivism.
-
Who wants to talk?
-
Next?
-
I do.
-
I decided to talk about communicative language teaching method in unifies.
-
The students do raw place in groups and each group has different information.
-
That way, the row place are all different.
-
There is a great example of a reward toss and communicative language teaching students you their own worst to shop cell and bargain in the marketplace.
-
The activity was lona centered because they had choices in the language and actions that they used.
-
Thank you, Linden.
-
Now we'll Leila, presentation.
-
I want to tell you what I learned about learning centred teaching and active learning for students.
-
In Unit nine.
-
The students practise an interview for a job.
-
They each choose the job that they want to get.
-
We saw one students an interview for the job she chose.
-
We know that every student choose a different job, that research about that job and wrote her own interview questions.
-
What was the teacher's role in this?
-
The teacher's job was the support, the learners and their choices and research.
-
She also gave them more control over their learning by teaching them to apply strategies.
-
In this case, they predicted hard questions for the interview.
-
They can use these strategies later in other read real world situations.
-
Thank you all for sharing these important topics off language teaching, Constructivism, communicative language teaching and learner center practices and active running.
-
So let's start with the first unit together way.
-
In the next 10 lessons, you'll see more videos, student and teacher materials based on the women teaching Women English textbook.
