...sophomore, I was very glad that I was admitted by a famous Chinese English training school, New Oriental, worked as a head teacher of the GRE class. This class was a closed class during the winter vacation which was lasting one month. During this month, all the students would live in a school campus together, and the class room was also in that campus, students cannot leave this campus during that month unless. My job was take charge of all the 20 students in my class, studied with them and lived with them. If they had any problem, I would help them to solve problems and keep in touch with their parents. At the first day of the GRE winter class, all the teachers and students met at New Oriental school campus and we went to our closed campus all together by bus. All this way was like a short road trip, at this little journey I first meet all the students who would spent the coming month with me. All the students is strange to me, at the same time, me also strange to them, so the first and the most important thing I was going to do was let we getting to know each other. Then I made a self introduction to them, and we played a game called pass ball in order to know each other. The rooms of all students was already arranged, so after we arrived at our campus what I had to do is just gave them their room’s key, show them where is the dining hall and class room for our class, then let them went to their rooms and took a rest. Then my first challenge was come. My 20 students they...

...| TEFL 4- Active with words | Home assignments | | | | Nelsi van Cleef | 2012/2013 | | Home assignment I: ICT Using ICT to teach/practice/test vocabulary http://mike.digischool.nl/ This website offers a broad range of subjects for pupils, from History, Turkish and Math, to English. The pupils can click on “Engels” and then on “oefenen”, where they can practice everything that has to do with the English language, for example reading,listening and speaking. Since this is about vocabulary they can click on “woordenschat”. In the vocabulary section they get 4 choices : woordengroepen, spreekwoorden en gezegden, schoolboeken and WRTS-lijsten. In each of these sections they can practice their vocabulary. The “spreekwoorden en gezegden” section especially appealed to me. This section gives a lot of English proverbs with the Dutch translation, by alphabet. Since there are a lot of sayings in Dutch, and the pupils probably know them, they can also learn them in English. As a teacher the teacher can write down a new proverb every day on the board and start the lesson with elaborating on this, for example: “A man’s home is is castle”. The way the teacher can elaborate on this is by putting this proverb in context, asking the pupils what this proverb may be in Dutch (Eigen haard is goud waard), and asking pupils to give an example by using it. www.freerice.com This website is a non-profit website that supports the United Nations World Food Programme...

...to bottom and left to right as well as making sure I expose students to books with rhyming or predictable patterns for critical thinking and comprehension. From books, articles and even instructions I make sure that I read with enthusiasm, rhythm, and the proper intonation to keep students engaged and learning. A second strategy I have used is the shared reading strategy. This were I read along with the students so that students are able to discover new words and their meanings. While warming up to a book I usually engage my students by asking questions to prompt discussion. For example, if we are reading a book about a circus, I may ask “What do you think our new book is about?” “Who has been to the circus?” Using this particular strategy I am able to get students to actively participate in reading. They are ready to learn and some may even try to predict how a story will progress. Also with this method I am able work on understanding and illustrations with students that will help construct meaning while increase and developing new vocabulary which will aid in all subject matters. Lastly, the third strategy I like to implement in lessons is...

...The value of language The Norton anthology of African American literature book, does a great job in describing the uniqueness of the early African American language, as the roots for the spiritual and the secular forms of the African American vernacular. But for one to understand the African American vernacular, one must understand how the language was created. The language of the early Africans that occupied north America was unique to only this ethical group, because they where the only forms of Africans in that time that spoke a kind of language that was broken English or formally called “Pidgin” which is known as the language of the slaves. Lets take a look at the active definition for pidgin, so we can come to a clear understanding of the word before we progress further in the paper: “A simplified form of speech that is usually a mixture of two or more languages, has a rudimentary grammar and vocabulary, is used for communication between groups speaking different languages, and is not spoken as a first or native language. Also called contact language.”(pidgin online) so contact language is the language first spoken or developed when the Africans where first In America. The language was created due to the direct result of the times being that Africans by law where not allowed to be educated or to be treated like anything other then a slave, no social interactions revolving relations, only a master, slave relationship...

...It is hard moving to a new country where the language, norms, culture and values are different. The first years in a new country are the hardest. You have to assimilate to a new lifestyle in order to fit. Even though you try to assimilate most of the time you would never succeed. You enter in cultural shock and get depressed. The biggest challenge is learning the language. Language can be a factor that separates you from the others. It is the way people from the same culture identify and communicate with each other. Therefore, when you do not understand other people from different parts of the world, it can make you feel very lonely. This is what Pat Mora is trying to say in his poem “Elena”, a Mexican mother who is being portray as feeling lonely in the United States. In Pat Mora poem “Elena” he writes, “My Spanish isn’t enough. I remember how Id smile listening to my little ones, understanding every word they’d say, their jokes, their song, their plots” (1-5). The first line, “my Spanish isn’t enough” is very important because it let me knows the problem is about communication. The word, “enough” makes me understand...

...paid attention to their teacher. They learned some math and science. She also taught them three new words. The words were “north” “then” and “how.” The words were their three words of the week they learn how to spell. Mrs. Peterson also gave the class a page to color and challenged them to stay in the lines. I switched kindergarten classes and went to Mrs. Calvert’s class. In her class the students were doing the same thing Mrs. Peterson’s class were doing. She explained to me that they always do the same thing so I would just be seeing a repeat of what I already seen. The students in her class were very talkative and they kept getting out of their seats. The students in Mrs. Peterson’s class were not like that. Mrs. Peterson was an older teacher than Mrs. Calvert so that could have been the reason. While I was observing Mrs. Calvert’s class the children had their lunch and went on recess. During their recess time the teacher let me go out with them and I got to play with them and push them on the swings. The kids were very happy that I was out there with them and playing with them. There was one little boy who wanted to hold my hand the whole time and would not get back in line he just wanted me to hold his hand. After recess I observed the third kindergarten class which was Mrs. Euwing’s class. In her class she taught the kids about honesty. She told them the definition of the word...

...children should be allowed to use technology because of the educational apps, ebooks, Children’s are attracted to technology as toys nowadays and they should be allowed to play and learn with it as mentioned by Rosin in the article “more than 40,000 kids’ games are available on iTunes, plus thousands more on Google Play”. Apps like “Noddle words”, “Letter school” teaches children how to write and spell words. With every generation, childhood has changed and as Maria Montessori’s quote says “The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence”, small children can also learn new things as we adults learn with the use of technology. My cousin sister, about 4 year old, plays a game on her Ipad “Endless Alphabet” which has over 50 words to learn and play with, and word games teaches children letters. Therefore technology is beneficial to children in education. Technology brings many different ways for children to learn. Television shows made especially for small children are directed in such a way that children can interact with it. While some of us might believe television as a bad influence to children, a magazine “Endangered Minds: Why Children Don’t Think- and What We Can Do About It” by Jane Healy gave a name “zombie effect” which means that the viewers express less mental activity. as Children can learn things from...

...tricks with them, and when they start whining for milk or demanding for something I cannot give, or they simply have to be tidied up, I can easily return them and avoid the task of being more than an aunt. Being in this position gives me a different perspective of toddlers. For an aunt, toddlers are simply cute and adorable. But for parents, they are not only adorable and cute; they are one crucial responsibility to carry as well. So, are toddlers “Terrible Twos” or are they “Terrific Twos”? When children learn to walk, they are called toddlers. Although the term is usually applied to one and two-year-old children, “toddler” is not a specific age, but a stage in the growth of a child which is unique to each one. Children have their own time-table. Some can walk, eat on their own, dress on their own earlier than others in the same age. Each child’s developmental pace differs, but one thing is common among toddlers: they all start to learn to be independent. That’s why 2 to 3-year-olds want to do things for and by themselves. In the classroom, the teacher delegates work to each student, who immediately feels he is capable of responsibility and can get something done. It’s funny and amazing how they grab the first opportunity to be given a responsibility in school. Here are some guiding ideas about toddlers ... for parents, aunts, grandparents, and all the others surrounded by toddlers:...

...Are you a winner? This training course is called English for Winners, and before you delve into it, we should find out together if it is for you. Do you want to be a winner? Most English learners are unhappy with their English ability. If you ask the average English learner to assess their skills, you're very likely to get one of these answers: "I studied English at school for more than 5 years, but my English is not so good." "I speak a little English, but I think it's just 'school English'." "I understand it a little, but I can't speak it fluently." "My grammar is very bad. I've often tried to learn the grammar rules, but they're too complicated for me." "I had good school grades in English but I still can't speak it very well." These are typical complaints, and they make it clear that very few learners are really happy with the quality of their English. Most of them realize that their efforts are not yielding the results they expect. But instead of changing their strategy and trying to find the right learning methods and techniques, they simply give up. They think that they "just don't have a talent for learning languages". The winners, however, are those English learners who have taken control of their own programs. They know that acquiring English is an ongoing process. It is something that happens every day, day in and day out. They also understand that when it comes to learning English any progress is success. ©EnglishForWinners, Page 1 of 34 Dear Listener, since you...

...Pope Francis’ speech at Malacañang January 16, 2015 10:36am Below is the full text of Pope Francis' speech at Malacañang after his courtesy call on President Aquino on Friday, Jan. 16. Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you, Mr President, for your kind welcome and for your words of greeting in the name of the authorities and people of the Philippines, and the distinguished members of the Diplomatic Corps. I am most grateful for your invitation to visit the Philippines. My visit is above all pastoral. It comes as the Church in this country is preparing to celebrate the fifth centenary of the first proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on these shores. The Christian message has had an immense influence on Filipino culture. It is my hope that this important anniversary will point to its continuing fruitfulness and it’s potential to inspire a society worthy of the goodness, dignity and aspirations of the Filipino people. In a particular way, this visit is meant to express my closeness to our brothers and sisters who endured the suffering, loss and devastation caused by Typhoon Yolanda. Together with many people throughout the world, I have admired the heroic strength, faith and resilience demonstrated by so many Filipinos in the face of this natural disaster, and so many others. Those virtues, rooted not least in the hope and solidarity instilled by Christian faith, gave rise to an outpouring of goodness and generosity, especially on the part of so...

...the book, “Let Your Life Speak,” Parker J. Palmer offers insight into the meaning of vocation, and through his personal stories and life experiences, offers lessons in listening to and following our inner voice. Palmer uses poetry to draw the reader into finding deeper understanding. The first four chapters of Palmer’s book, calls us deeper into a world of discovering the gift that we were given at birth. Palmer challenges us to listen to life, explore how to find our true self, examine the principle of opportunity: when a door closes behind us a window opens in front, and review the idea that we must hit bottom before one is able to progress in a spiritual way. When Palmer was in his early thirties he felt his life should have more meaning. Palmer (2000) states, that he was inspired by the words, “Let your life speak,” which was an old Quaker phrase (p. 2). He thought the words meant to live a life guided by high principles, so he attempted to emulate his heroes. Palmer realizes after years of making mistakes that he was forcing a vocation upon himself instead of listening to his true voice. He explains from a young age we are taught by the parents, teachers, and other adults in our lives to listen to them, and not taught to listen to ourselves. Palmer (2000) states that “before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you. Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life...
