Thoughts about teaching Technical English?
|
Greetings Everyone,
I have a some intermediate students, but we are using TechTalk Elementary, because this is suppose to be a "refresher" for them. Anyway they find the book, too "elementary". Anyway, our next lesson is describing a project. There are some pictures in the book that are to be put in order. I was thinking I would make these pictures into flash cards and before we open the book, have them try to put the pictures in order. I �m really trying to make this as challenging for them as possible, but I �ve got to use the book. So I �m trying to think of ways to get out of the elementary box, the book puts us in.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome!
Thanks in Advance,
Belles |

Hi anna
You can create your own activities beside the book �s activities. In UAE, for secondary school students, we are just using the book as a tool beside our own activities that would help our students to improve their English skills. I mostly concentrate on speaking and writing because they need them a lot in their daily life. Sometimes, I escape some of unnecessary lessons from the book and replace them with my own lessons.
Good luck |
