I am thinking about how can I improve my teaching more effectively using the terms learned from STG class.
It was quite difficult to apply the techniques, I realized that I am still using my own teaching habit.
I started to analyzed my lesson video to correct my own proficiency problems as well. I never think about the way.
My T talks are quite monologic and constructive. I attempted students are involved as much as they can, however CI is very limited because of their language proficiency.
I usually asked many of closed, display, and eliciting types of questions.
I never tried high & lower level questions type in my class.
I am teaching my elementary kids traditional way some part of my lesson.
Reading comprehension and answering multiple questions, this is the most standard way to prepare a test/quiz.
I hope that my students get high score for a quiz / level test. This way is very effective way to get the score, most parents or students are demanding the high score.
I feel like Korea has two types English.
Test English (reading, grammar, vocabulary) and Communicative English (essay writing, speaking, presentation).
Students are stressed too much to follow two different types.
I am still thinking how can I solve this matter?
Maybe it is effective to get a higher score, but why are you taking the SMU-TESOL course? From what you describe, your students aren't getting any time to use or practice using the language, so while their scores may be improving, that's because all tehy are DOING in your class is 'TEST'. They aren't doing 'USE LANGUAGE'.
ReplyDeleteL1 Korean need innovative English class seriously, after learning English in Seoul, it was not communicative in Toronto. I almost started to learn English again in Toronto. I seriously worry about elementary kids proficiency at this time.
