Lesson 1_2nbatx_2019-20
This document provides a summary and recommendations for corrections to a student composition titled "Unit 1- Wanderlust". It identifies several errors in the composition related to grammar, vocabulary, and style. Recommendations are provided to correct collocation errors, replace vague phrases, and make the writing more concise. Suggestions are also given for vocabulary words, expressions, and prepositional phrases that could be confusing for the student. Examples of other students' gap year experiences are briefly described to provide context. The overall document offers guidance to improve the student's writing skills.
30 fun facts about english language
The document lists 30 fun facts about the English language. Some key points include:
- English originated from northwestern Germany and the Netherlands.
- "Long time no see" is a literal translation from a Native American or Chinese phrase.
- "Go!" is the shortest grammatically correct sentence in English.
- About 4,000 new words are added to the dictionary each year.
- The two most common words in English are "I" and "you".
When Translation Goes Wrong: How to Avoid Offending Your Clientelle
The document discusses the importance of proper translation for marketing to Spanish-speaking audiences. As the Latin American population and their spending power grows in the US, good English to Spanish translations are needed. However, many companies have failed at translation, resulting in hilarious but also potentially offensive mistakes. These mistakes can harm a company's strategy by turning people off or making them laugh instead of taking the company seriously. The document provides examples of common translation errors like false cognates, failed figures of speech, and improper cultural translations. It recommends hiring professional translation help instead of relying on machine or online translators to avoid these errors.
Why Do We Have To Learn A Foreign
While English has become a global language, only 5.6% of the world's population speaks it natively, so learning a foreign language is still beneficial. There are several effective ways to learn a foreign language on your own, such as using audio/video materials, visiting foreign language websites, or watching foreign films and TV. However, taking a foreign language class is recommended because it provides guidance from an instructor and structure to track your progress. Despite the prevalence of English, learning a new language has value.

English for Academic Purposes
Presentation given for my English for Academic Purposes class, giving a general overview of my research.
English for Academic Purposes by Liz Hamp-Lyons
English for academic purposes (EAP) has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise over the past 25 years. EAP differs from general English courses by focusing on the specific needs of students using English for academic studies. While individual teachers have addressed academic contexts for some time, EAP emerged as a defined field in the 1970s through organizations like SELMOUS. EAP aims to prepare students for academic genres, registers, and discourse through a focus on skills like academic reading, writing, and study strategies. Needs analysis is fundamental to the EAP approach of designing courses tailored to students' academic situations.
The origins of esp
ESP is an approach to language teaching where all content and methodology are based on the learner's reason for learning. There are three main reasons for ESP: 1) English is key to technology and commerce globally, 2) linguistics revolutionized by showing language varies by situation so courses can focus on specific situations, and 3) focus shifted to developing courses highly relevant to individual learners' needs and interests.
Development of esp
The document discusses the evolution of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) through three main phases: 1) expanding demand for English to suit particular needs, 2) developments in linguistics, and 3) educational psychology. It describes approaches such as register analysis, discourse analysis, target situation analysis, and a learning-centered approach that place learner needs at the center of course design. ESP analysis and teaching materials have shifted focus from sentence-level grammar to discourse patterns and organizational structures in texts.
English for Specific Purposes by Tony Dudley Evans
English for specific purposes (ESP) has for about 30 years been a separate branch of English
Language Teaching. It has developed its own approaches, materials and methodology and is
generally seen as a very active, even 'feisty' movement that has had considerable influence over the
more general activities of TESOL and applied linguistics.
ESP has always seen itself as materials-driven and as a classroom-based activity concerned
with practical outcomes. Most w riting about ESP is concerned with aspects of teaching, materials
production and text analysis rather than with the development of a theory of ESP.
English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
The document discusses the learning-centered approach to course design. It explains that the learning-centered approach considers the learner's needs, skills, attitudes and learning situation at every stage of design. This includes analyzing both the target situation where skills will be used and the current learning situation. The learning-centered process is dynamic and negotiates between these factors when writing syllabus, materials, and evaluations. It implies course design is negotiated between situations and changes over time with feedback.
ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
This document discusses English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It defines ESP as an approach to language teaching where the content and aims of the course are based on the specific needs of the learners. The document traces the evolution of ESP from the 1960s and discusses some of the main researchers in the field, including Hutchinson and Waters. It outlines different theories of learning through ESP, such as behaviorism and mentalism, as well as approaches to ESP courses like language-centered, skills-centered, and learning-centered. Finally, it provides an example ESP lesson plan for electrical engineering students focused on vocabulary and graphic organizers.
ESP - English for specific purposes
ESP refers to English for Specific Purposes which designs English language courses based on the specific needs of learners in their fields or occupations. ESP courses focus on developing the grammar, vocabulary, study skills and discourse needed in the target discipline. They use authentic materials from the relevant field and allow self-directed learning. Common ESP courses include English for academic disciplines, occupations, and topics like English for medicine or English for technology.
ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES
This document discusses English for Academic Purposes (EAP). EAP focuses on analyzing students' academic language needs and the linguistic structures of academic texts. It teaches formal academic genres like research papers and dissertations, with a focus on reading and writing. EAP courses are tailored to students' immediate academic needs, teaching only the vocabulary, grammar, topics, and communicative skills relevant to their fields of study. The goal is to provide practical English language training for academic contexts.
PPT2
This document outlines an English class lesson plan focused on speaking skills. It includes 5 activities: 1) recalling previous lessons, 2) describing one's hometown while blindfolded, 3) explaining cultural characteristics of one's birthplace, 4) discussing the message of a song, and 5) again describing one's birthplace. Tips are provided for pronouncing certain letters like R, L, and TH. The lesson encourages students to speak respectfully about their hometowns and birthplaces.

Ph speaking ppt
This document provides guidance for teachers on how to improve students' speaking skills. It discusses the importance of speaking, challenges in Greece, and strategies teachers can use. Some key points:
1) Speaking is the most important language skill but often lags in Greece due to a focus on grammar and exams. Teachers must help skills like grammar and vocabulary come together seamlessly for speaking.
2) Teachers are encouraged to have students spend more time speaking in class through techniques like pair work and group work. Speaking also needs to be integrated across subject areas.
3) Specific strategies discussed include helping students overcome fear of public speaking, providing guidance on monologues, dialogues, pronunciation, and preparing for exams

This document provides guidance for teachers on how to incorporate more speaking activities into their English language lessons. It discusses the importance of speaking skills for students and outlines challenges to teaching speaking in some contexts. It then provides many examples of speaking activities teachers can use, including discussions of pronunciation, contractions, monologues, dialogues, and exam preparation. The document emphasizes creating opportunities for free speaking practice to help students feel comfortable communicating in English.
Fifth session
This document provides an overview of the contents and activities for four English language learning sessions. The fourth session includes a warm-up, review of the previous session, and plans to cover pronunciation, grammar, reading, listening, and speaking activities. The document outlines the specific topics and tasks to be covered in each of these areas. It then provides details on the content and activities planned for the fifth session, including presentations, pronunciation, grammar, reading, listening, speaking, and a writing task.
Localise Global Coursebook
This document discusses ways to localize global English language coursebooks to make them more relevant for students. It suggests that teachers can localize content by [1] rooting explanations in local culture through examples, [2] personalizing speaking tasks and questions to relate to students' lives, and [3] translating vocabulary and phrases to validate students' local languages. The document also emphasizes the importance of teachers modeling language use and tailoring texts with local-based discussion questions. Localizing coursebooks in these ways can help students see how English relates to their own realities and cultures.

Towards Better Outcomes By Ian
This document discusses understanding how the world learns English. It provides an overview of topics covered in an English language course, including conversations, lectures, news stories, social and professional contexts. It outlines activities for business tasks, socializing, and learning about other cultures. The course aims to have clear links between input materials and learning outcomes. It also aims to be easy for teachers to use, with limited sections and a regular structure. Materials are meant to be quick to prepare and suitable for mixed-level classes, while also motivating students.
Writing Skills
Writing skills are an important part of communication. Good writing skills allow you to communicate your message with clarity and ease to a far larger audience than through face-to-face or telephone conversation.
Teaching writing
This document discusses teaching writing techniques. It begins by noting that writing, unlike speaking, is a culturally learned skill. It then outlines seven characteristics of written language, including production time, distance from audience, orthography, complexity, vocabulary, formality, and types of classroom writing. Fifteen principles for designing writing techniques are provided, such as incorporating good writing practices and balancing process with product. Sample techniques are explained, like controlled writing, writing based on a text, oral preparation, and correcting writing work. Additional techniques involving sequencing, completion, transformation, and questions are described in more detail. The document provides guidance on how to structure writing lessons and the types of activities and exercises teachers can use to help students improve their writing abilities
