I help students develop their writing skills through practice in answering questions, short answers, essays and reading comprehension responses.
Grammar assistance is done by checking the student's understanding of grammar - verbs structure and different tenses - past, present, future, conditional and correcting mistakes.Also, I review and check for spelling mistakes and highlight all spelling mistakes and the student can then correct the spelling or missing punctuation marks.
My approach to teaching reading comprehension is to read a passage and then do comprehension by skimming or scanning the text for answers. Also, analysing the text to understand the writer's views and points.
Analysis of a text from a novel, poem or play. Look up new vocabulary and explain the meaning, form and pronunciation.
Break down words into syllables, repaeat aloud the syllables and words, and use Phonics alphabet pronunciation to improve pronunciation.
Practice reading an excerpt from a Play, such as Shakespeare or a Novel, with the correct emphasis and pronunciation.
To determine the context, I need to think about situations in which using the present perfect is appropriate. For example, we often use the present perfect to talk about general life experiences or events that occurred at an unspecified time in the past. There are a lot of directions in which I could go with this, but traveling jumps out as a theme in which there are a lot of opportunities for the present perfect to come up. - I’ve been to Budapest. - You have? I haven’t! I’ve been to Prague, though. So the topic I’ll set for this lesson is “travel experience.” That’s my context. Now that we know the context of the lesson, what do we do with that? Remember, our goal here is not only to establish context but also to get the students engaged in it. Here’s a fool-proof strategy for doing just that: A successful lead-in gets the students talking. 1. Pose a direct question (related to the context) to the class. “Who likes to travel? Which countries or cities have you visited?” 2. Give an example. “For example, I really like to travel, so I have visited many different places in the world. Recently, I traveled to Canada and I spent a week in Quebec City with some friends.” 3. Let the students discuss. Put the students in pairs and allow them to have a two-minute discussion about the question you posed. “Now tell your partner where you have traveled.” 4. Get some feedback. After the pair discussion, nominate a few students by asking them to report back to the class on what their partner said. “Ok, good job, everyone. Anastasia, what did Marek tell you? Where has he traveled?”
To motivate English students, Teachers are encouraged to do the following: personalize learning by understanding their interests, set clear goals with them, incorporate fun and interactive activities, provide regular positive feedback, create a supportive environment, encourage collaboration, and use real-life scenarios to make learning relevant; essentially, making the learning process engaging and tailored to their needs while celebrating their progress.
I am familiar with the standard English curiculum and course requirements at Secondary schools worldwide, as well as the IB curriculum.
1. Give students manageable goals - Example SMART goals Short term: By the end of the lesson, I will be able to ask and answer basic questions about what I like doing. Medium term: By the end of the term, I will have improved my test scores in the Reading and Writing sections of A2 Key for Schools. Long term: By the end of the year, I will have passed A2 Key for Schools and started preparing for B1 Preliminary for Schools. 2. Use checklists to help support your students - Goals CXhecklists and Lesson Learning plans. 3. Use English exam preparation resources - including: handbooks lesson plans classroom posters and activities self-study materials. 4. Mionitor students regularly. 5. Join a Teaching Community to improve my Teaching skills - through webinars, networking with fellow Teachers and access to English teaching resources.
