Here Below you can check out the feedback (for one of our units) of one of the 16.000 students that last year took an online course with ITTT!
The unit is about how to teach students either
individual or a group.
Initially the topic were about beginners and how
to teach them . Any beginner can be an absolute,
false ,adult , young and those without Roman
alphabet.
There are many ways we can help the beginners.
We have to aware of what they really need .
Gradually encourage them get use to the
native's pacing. However, make sure that they
wont be intimated. We can have chorus repitition
and pair work ,best is group work. To make sure
they understand , teachers need to ask questions
. Since beginners might lose their motivation
because of difficulty we have to encourage them
all the time.
How to keep the motivation burning the
teachers have to correct appropriate times, not
all the time. Allow them to see the book but not
depending in looking at them. The atmosphere
you give has to be easy and accommodating.
There is discussion of teaching students
individually.To avoid getting dull, predictable
classes it was suggest that the teachers has the
control of the classes to have consistent
dynamics in the class.
Giving homework is encourage not to put
burden or added work for them but make the
homework interesting .
I teach business /career lesson online and this
unit helped me do better . Its not as different as
what the tips on teaching business classes its
just that this one has to be more extensive. You
have to make sure that they can maximize their
time . You have to align their goals to your
activity.
On separate discussion was about analysis. I
think as an online teacher i can relate this to
how we categorize our students to levels. We
have what they call trial classes .We check their
4 skills, READING,SPEAKING, LISTENING AND
WRITING. The analysis in the course mentioned
that it goes like a questionnaire or could be a
simple chat .They can identify specific objectives
of the course and get them prioritize.Then list the right /great objective,activity and material. There is an evaluation that students can elicit reactions.Then materials should be not too easy and not too difficult.
The monolingual and the multilingual class has great advantage for the application of using English has to be imposed to have unity in ideas.
