            Today is last day of teaching presentation. In this day have 10 people to present. The first person is teaching about exchange rate. She teaches currency in ASEAN. She warm up by play game math picture cards with name cards of currency in ASEAN.  She is a good  speak and manage classroom. The second person is teaching about education system in Singapore. She teaches strategies of reading such as scanning, skimming and summaries. She speaks not fluency and not accuracy. The activities can motivate students to study. The third person is teaching about write a letter  and she teaches how to make the letter. The fourth person is teaching about  booking ticket.  She warm up by open video about booking ticket .She has several  materials such as video,conversation,picture cards and power point.  She speaks fluency and accuracy.

            All of my teaching is good example for me. I will apply for my teaching in the future because if I use several materials and use authentic material such as, sing a song, pronounce the word, and give point students can learn better. In my opinion I will use this technique to teach my students in the future.

            In 2015 Thailand coming to ASEAN Community. There are 10 countries in the ASEAN. English language is the most important for everybody. Today my friends and I presentation about ASEAN lesson plan.  There are listening, speaking, reading and writing. Each person has difference skill.

            The first person teaches about attractions of Laos. She practices listening skill by open video about attractions of Laos. Then she asks some questions for students. Next students play game they guess what is this? After that students listening conversation and complete conversation. And students do homework that is find conversation and write into notebook.

            From this teaching, I think she is not focus about listening because she practices listening of students little bit. She should practice more than this and I will improve my teaching about material and the process of teaching in the next time. Authentic materials can help students have good learning.

              I would like to reflect what I have learned in class. I gains knowledge about how to write lesson plan, how to teach using teaching strategies, and how to do homework in pair or groups.

          Today is on Wednesday 9 October, 2013. There are nine students who present teaching. The third person teaches about asking and giving direction in Nakhon Si Thammarat  province. She warm up by open video that can motivate student’s intent to study but in power point have a lot of cartoons that will make students don’t intent to study. She doesn’t has time for students practice conversation. She should use wh-questions more than yes-no questions.

            From this teaching, I can develop my lesson plan by amend terminal objective and enabling objective because my lesson plan don’t clear. And I will develop activities for teach students. I think a good lesson plan should be related to a curriculum.

            When students do activities, she has assessment learning all the time such as check list observation schedules. The good presentation must have a good classroom management, solve immediate problems and self-discipline. The objectives must clear because students can use in real life.

            The good lesson plan must have correct terminal and enabling objectives. You should plan your teaching that activities are smooth to teach. If someone can do like this, you will get the good point and good teaching.

Tips for Teaching ESL Grammar

                Today I read teaching English article the topic is “Tips for Teaching ESL Grammar” written by: Louanne Piccolo. Grammar is the way that we put words to make correct sentences and convey meaning in any language. Tips and Guidelines in Teaching ESL Grammar have many tips.

                First, students must have plenty of examples of the structure and understand when and how to use it.

                Second, explanations must cover the majority of instances because students are sure to encounter exceptions along the way.

                Third, detail confuses students so explanations must be simple and clear.

                Fourth, Role-playing and language games can be fun and give students the opportunity to use a grammatical structure practically

                The last, Students need to experiment by rearranging sentences and playing with them to get a feel for the language.

                I think grammar is very difficult and boring to teach. However, if a teacher understands the grammatical concepts, is capable of explaining grammar and its structures clearly and simply, follows up with appropriate games, exercises and role-playing activities, Teacher will be creating a context for fun and interesting ESL grammar lessons.
