EFL Sample Lesson - Activate Phase - Feedback
This video is a sample EFL lesson in a real-life classroom setting abroad. After the class activity 'Find Someone Who', the students sit back down and feed their findings back to the teacher. In this phase the teacher can then correct any error or mistakes the students have made during the activity, particularly in terms of grammar.
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.
In this unit we learned some more advanced concepts that may be taught to students aspiring to work or study in the USA or another English speaking country. Like many other topics of this course, being a native speaker does not make the material easy. I expect that similar to my experience teaching another subject, often the teacher learns as much or more than the student.This chapter outlines four things that students need in order to learn a new language .They must be exposed to it, which is why it is helpful to be taught by a native speaker; they must understand its meaning; they must understand how it's constructed; and they must be able to practise and produce it - and this final step is best approached through the activate stage of ESA.
