Coursebooks and Materials - Types of Materials

 

This presentation is going to focus on the use of course books, materials and teaching aids. There are many materials that we can bring to our classroom that will help with the teaching of our lessons and these include, though they're not limited to, things such as the wipe board, similar to the one that we're using here, various types of visual aids, created or bought worksheets, the use of cassettes CDs and DVDs and the use of video and in these classroom materials, we can also include things such as dictionaries and course books, various types of resource books that we'll have a look at and other materials such as photo copiers, computers, OHPs. So what we'd like to do is just to take a general look at some of the issues relating to each of these types of materials.


Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

It is interesting to watch and take note of the differences of a tutor’s attitude when they are teaching to a room of students in this unit. I guess, the attitude of the tutor is of utmost important in order to ensure that the class remain interesting, engaging and successful.Interesting unit- I am surprised it it is presented in two parts separating reading and listening with writing and speaking. Great again to see an example of how one could present these skills in activity for to the class, im now really starting to see the value in the ESA concept.from this unit, we learn the different stress patterns and Intonations. Also we learn different ways of transcriptions. We also learn the different between the voiced and unvoiced patterns with its difference. Also the different methods to us our mouths to bring out certain sounds.
