TEFL English Teachers uses the Communicative Approach, Total Physical Response and the Silent Way to Teach English as a Foreign Language.
The Communicative Approach is widely used in ESL classrooms around the world. When learning to teach English, popular certification programs like Cambridge CELTA, TEFL, TESOL and ESL courses often advocate this style of teaching. Many teachers utilize this style in the classroom and much emphasis is placed upon actual communication rather than rule based learning. Students actually learn by doing, rather than learning a long list of words and vocabulary. This method is at the moment one of the most popular methods of teaching English. TEFL English Teachers uses the Communicative Approach by instructing students to read their homework questions and answers to each other in pair work while the teacher grades their homework assignments.
Total Physical Response (TPR) is a method for teaching language by involving students in physical activity. One of the assumptions behind TPR is that the human brain has a biological program for acquiring any natural language on earth - including the sign language of the deaf. Similar to children picking up their native language, foreign language students should not "learn" but "acquire" the target language. TPR aims for an unconscious process of language acquisition in the same manner that children learn their first language without any conscious effort. In consequence no attention is paid to form or rule learning. TEFL English Teachers utilizes TPR by having students play games such as Simon Says, Fly Swatters and Musical Chairs.
The Silent Way is a language teaching method created by Caleb Gattegno from the University of London that makes extensive use of silence as a teaching technique. TEFL English Teachers implements the Silent Way by pointing to letter and picture charts in the classroom to help correct student pronunciation without using verbal correction.
TEFL English Teacher lesson plans are superior to grammar translation methods such as Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur because we include all four critically important language skills; Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.Foreign language students using a grammar translation method such as Rosetta Stone or Pimsleur often fail to learn the foreign language by only concentrating on the 2 skills of listening and speaking. If a foreign language student has success with a grammar translation method, the best they can hope for is to become illiterate in the new language they are trying to learn. It it vital to teach all 4 Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking language skills which are included in TEFL English Teachers lesson plans and student books.
The TEFL lesson plans are designed to teach a 4 week – 20 day course with a maximum classroom size of 10 students. The curriculum for the first 3 weeks of classroom instruction offers 12 daily homework assignments and 3 weekly written exams administered to students on a Friday. Week 4 is comprised of oral & reading exams followed by graduation on day 20.
The TEFL English Teachers lesson plans document every segment of the bell curve from the Day 1 Greeting through the Day 20 Graduation Ceremony. The bell curve format makes class room instruction easy to use and follow.
