Teaching in Practice : Speaking and Listening - Unit 2 - Activity

 Hello,

My analyzes in activity 1 was on Tina who was sample A.

For this lesson I would concentrate on what difficulties Tina had in the interview.  We would concentrate on words that start with st, sh, tr and pi

The following words are written on the board in2 columns.

Word 1	Word 2	Word 3	Sounds Like
Stressed	Street	Stream	strest, strēt, ˈstrēm
Travel	Trap	Track	ˈtravəl,trap, trak
Shopping	Shop	Show	ˈSHäpiNG, SHäp, SHō
Picnic	Picture	Pickle	pik·nuhk, pik(t)SHər, pik(ə)l

I will point to a word on the board, say and it once and repeat it.  The second time I will slowly be breaking the word down.  I will use row 1 as an example so when we say stressed.  The class will need to repeat after me and I will write on the board how it sounds in the empty column.  I will write out strest  as that is how it's pronounced etc.  As we complete row 1, I will remind the students which words have a short e vs a long e.   

We will be repeating the problems for the reminder of the columns.  Having the students listen to me say the word and repeat is slowly breaking they should be able to hear how to say the word.  Listening to the students repeat the words back to me would allow me to asses who is still struggling.

Teaching in Practice: Speaking and Listening - Unit 4 Relections

It's Sunday again and another unit down and completed.  This completes my course on Speaking and Listening. 

For unit 4 I completed a lesson plan.  I thought it was a good mix of listening and speaking as well the topic is relevant to what is happening in the world today.  We all know how recycling is a huge part of trying to save the environment and that is why I chose a video on that subject.  \

My reflection on this course is that it was very hard.  There's so many different aspects when it comes to teaching listening and speaking   I know I have a lot to learn, I look forward to learning more and to be the best that I can be. 

Until next time...
