Teach English in Ha'erbin Shi — Harbin

Unit 12 shows us how to teach these two productive skills-Speaking and Writing

Unit 2: Parts of Speech describes the fundamental elements of grammar

This unit was about reading and listening skills

From this unit i learnt the different uses of the past tense how to identify which tense is being used and the appropriate ways to construct sentence for effective expression

During the first lessons with a group it is important for the teacher to establish rapport with the students

The progress tests for private teachers who are not at school full time helps to gauge what language or principals have been remembered and what has not been remembered

I've learnt how am I supposed to teach

Zero conditional is used to talk about situations that are always or almost always true like scientific facts, general truths, or situations that are certain

This unit focused on trouble shooting classroom problems, including those associated with first lessons, classroom size, and students who revert to using their native language

The receptive skills are listening and reading, because learners do not need to produce language to do these, they receive and understand it

A very important part of this unit is the ability to be flexible

I have learned the great qualities of being a good teacher

This unit was about the special types of classes a teacher may need to teach and which methods work best for each type

There are two types of materials used to either supplement material from the course book or provide authenticity to the non native speaking student

This unit was very useful in learning about the importance of the receptive skills or reading and listening

In Unit 8: Future Tenses, the future is described as one of the most difficult and complex areas of the English language

This unit focuses on the grammar that English speakers use to talk about the past: the simple past, the past continuous, the past perfect, and the past perfect continuous

Productive skills are speaking and writing

English grammar for me is not very good at times

This lesson has taught me that accuracy and fluency are equally important

In this lesson ,I learned how to teach vocabulary, and grammar and the functions of the language

This unit gave an overview about pronounciation - about intonation, word stress, articulation, phonetic alphabet

Unit 4 looks at the types of material available, how they can be created or adapted, and how to put them to use

I had to look back to previous chapters and review each of the past/present/future tenses

4 things students must do to learn a language: - Be exposed to it - Understand its meaning - Understand how it?s constructed - Be able to practice & produce it Ease/difficulty of vocab learning: - Similarity to L1 - Similarity to Eng words already known - Spelling & pronunciation - Appropriacy (to student & task) Criteria for selecting vocab: - Appropriacy to students - Appropriacy to task - Frequency and coverage - Teachability What they need to know: - Meaning, use, - word grammar, - how it interacts, - Spelling, - Pronunciation Key aspects of grammatical structure: - Meaning - Use - Forms & patterns - Differences between spoken & written forms

Past simple is used for a past action when the time is given when the time is asked about when the action clearly took place at a definite time despite unmentioned and sometimes becomes definite due to a question and answer in the present perfect

Going through the content of this unit I remembered again about my school times particularly about the course books we were using

Unit 1 offers a complete overview about the aims of the BE course as well as a general look at the prospects in teaching Business English

Watching the two videos showed a great example of how important a teacher's body language and tone of voice they use has an impact on the class and lesson

This unit was a good recap of the past tenses
