International phonics.
|
|
Have any other teachers who speak English as a 1st language and work abroad, experienced any difficulties with students who have learnt English using international phonics and local teachers. I find a lot of these students speak poor English and have difficulties understanding real English. |

I �ve never heard of "International Phonics". Do you mean International Phonetics? |

I worked in a school once where they were introducing the jolly phonics system but I �ve never been a fan. I teach some phonetics as part of a lesson but don �t focus on it unless the students are already familiar with the phonetic alphabet. Young learners I try to introduce a little to the alphabet but again, it �s not a focus.
I �ve never had experience of students having been taught phonics so it �s never been a problem. I �m not sure how popular it is in Spain.

I certainly understand the word phonics but I have never heard of "International Phonics" |

How is it a strange way to treat people? How long have you been a people? I think you when wrote your other post you mixed up your words, it wasn �t ignorant that you should have used it should have been arrogant. |
