              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.

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.

            Today there are nine people presentation include me. Each person has mistaken about terminal objective. They don’t know about how to write it. When they write that wrong, they cannot successful of teaching. Some person has mistaken about rubric. They don’t conclude the total number of points and write the points wrong the qualities table.

            Rubrics is communicating expectations for an assignment, providing focused feedback on works in progress, and grading final products. It used to grade student work but they can serve another, more important, role as well: Rubrics can teach as well as evaluate.         

            In conclusion, enabling objectives are different from terminal 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.

                Today there are 5 people  presentation. Each person has mistake about lesson plan. They don’t know how to write enabling objectives and terminal objectives. When they write enabling objectives and terminal objectives wrong, they cannot achieve for teaching including evaluation because it isn’t relevance. If we know it, we can write lesson plan correctly.

               Enabling objectives come from indicator what teacher would like students to know first and terminal objectives are what students can do after they finish study. For example, enabling objective you write: students will be able to understand preposition. Terminal objective you write: students will be able to ask and answer question about the direction of place. If you can write like this, you can evaluate students correctly. Teacher said that they have only rubric criteria but they don’t have the instrument to evaluation. So, you should design it. When you teach, you should choose 1 content that clearly don’t teach many content. You should think that after you finish teaching students can use this language function in real life.

            In conclusion, enabling objectives are different from terminal objectives. You should plan your teaching that activities are smooth and choose only 1 content to teach. If someone can do like this, you will get the good point and good teaching.
