Agree with some, disagree with other bits! It �s the kind of thing I would have found really useful when I did my CELTA and my tutors would have ridiculed when I did my DELTA!

Thanks for the link Zailda!
I �ve just skimmed through the text but I �ve paid more attention to the Teaching Listening and Teaching Reading parts. And, yes, I can say I totally agree. |

Hi Zailda,
I suppose a short article like this has to be somewhat vague and general but I can hardly imagine myself in the author �s shoes. To my mind the title or the introduction should narrow the field down to a more specific group other than "12 pairs of eyes". The author (authors) says that the students don �t know the language, but goes on to presume that they can read and write many words in the English language.
These days I teach mostly children, I also teach mixed levelled classes of about 40 first-year university students who have just finished six years of studying English through a grammar translation method. I feel very little of the article refers to or is useful to my own teaching situation.
Regards,
David |
