The document discusses how to use VCOP skills (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation) to improve boring sentences and make them more engaging. It provides an example of a simple sentence "The cat went along the wall" and shows how using different VCOP techniques can transform it into a more descriptive and interesting sentence. The techniques add adjectives, connectives, change the opener, and use different punctuation to create the final sentence "Whilst licking his lips, the fluffy ginger cat (who had sharp teeth) prowled along the red brick wall because he was spying on a juicy bird!"

Teaching young learners
This document discusses principles and strategies for teaching young English language learners. It explains that young children acquire language naturally through social interaction and play. Effective teaching strategies include using routines, scaffolding, and making lessons fun, meaningful, and supported. Teachers should draw on theories from Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner to create interactive lessons that build on children's innate language learning abilities.
Assessing vocabulary
Vocabulary is one of the important aspects that need to be taken into account by English teachers. Even if you knew all about grammatical rules of English you would never be able to use them without a knowledge of words. Vocabulary is the basic tool for shaping and transmitting meaning (Olmos, 2009).
Teaching speaking and pronunciation ppt
- Pronunciation teaching is most effective when it incorporates connected speech practice rather than isolated sounds. Teachers should apply pronunciation rules to authentic activities rather than abstract material.
- Developing speaking skills requires extensive language exposure, cultural understanding, and meaningful interactive practice such as information gap activities where students ask each other questions.
- Teachers should maximize student talking time, provide feedback without interrupting fluency, and create a low-pressure environment where all students can regularly participate.

I like chocolate too. Potatoes are okay.
S2: (Turns over a picture of an apple). I like apples.
(Turns over a picture of broccoli). I don't really like
broccoli.
And so on. The students take turns asking about
their preferences using the pictures provided.
Classroom management
Classroom management involves organizing the classroom space, grouping students, using time effectively, and interacting appropriately with students. Good classroom management includes being aware of proximity to students, considering the effect of physical behavior, moving around the classroom, and responding to what students say. Teachers should speak audibly, vary the tone and quality of their voice, and breathe correctly. Motivating students can involve role-plays, visitors, pen pals, group presentations, debates, and concerts. Managing constraints requires explaining the purpose of activities, getting student feedback, and showing connections between activities. The teacher's role also includes relationships with other colleagues.

Fun ways to Teach English for Very Young Learners
Games play a central role in English lesson. They can be used to give practice in all language skills and be used to practice many types of communication. Games also encourage, entertain, teach and promote fluency. However, as teachers, we have to be aware in choosing the games for our students. Well-chosen games are helpful as they give children a break and at the same time allow them to practice language skills. To make games work in class, the teachers must have the rules, instructions, time management, praises and rewards. These are the following games that can be used to teach English for very young learners: Passing Activity, Shooting Letters, Do What I Say and Not What I Do, Find Someone Who, Miming, Memory, Snowball, Running Dictation, Blindfold, BINGO, Whispering, Guess Who, Find the Difference, Fishing, Hopscotch, Paper Airplanes, Listen-Color, Chopstick, Role-Play, and Musical Chair.

Reading in a second language (1)
The document discusses several topics related to reading in a second language including:
1. Bottom-up and top-down models of the reading process where bottom-up involves processing letters and words in order, and top-down uses background knowledge to get meaning from a text.
2. Effective means for building reading fluency like extensive reading, word recognition exercises, and re-reading activities. Extensive reading provides repeated exposure to vocabulary.
3. Skilled readers need mastery of 95% of words in a text for comfortable reading. Context alone is a low-yield strategy for guessing meanings compared to knowing words directly.
4. University L2 readers need knowledge of 10,000 words to understand
Fluency vs. accuracy
This document discusses strategies for balancing fluency and accuracy in language teaching. It emphasizes that fluency activities should allow students to use what they know without introducing new grammar or vocabulary, in order to build confidence and practice. Accuracy activities should focus on language, and can include controlled activities and error correction. The document provides examples of fluency activities like discussions, problem-solving tasks, and role-plays, as well as accuracy activities like dictation and peer correction. It stresses the importance of being clear about the objective of each activity and allowing students to work at their own level.

Errors are a natural part of language learning and occur when learners attempt to produce language structures beyond their current abilities. There are several types of errors, including those due to interference from the learner's first language, developmental errors from overgeneralizing rules, and slips from lack of concentration. Learners' developing language system is called an "interlanguage" which is not fixed but progresses as they incorporate corrections and new structures. While errors indicate areas for improvement, teachers must determine when and how to provide feedback, as immediate correction may not be helpful and allowing mistakes in fluency activities can build confidence.
Activities in teaching speaking
The document provides guidance for activities and techniques to promote speaking skills in English language learners. It recommends that teachers create a communicative classroom where students can engage in authentic tasks that require real-life communication, such as group discussions, role plays, simulations, information gaps, brainstorming, storytelling, interviews, story completions, class reporting, playing cards, picture sequencing/narrating, picture describing, and finding differences in pictures. The document also provides suggestions for teachers, such as providing opportunities for student speaking time, reducing corrections, involving speaking practice both in and out of class, and diagnosing individual student difficulties.
Adapting to students needs
This document discusses how teachers can adapt their instruction to meet the diverse needs of students in today's classrooms. It recommends differentiating instruction through content, process, product, and learning environment based on students' readiness, interests, and learning profiles. Specific strategies are provided like role playing, creative teaching, writing exercises, using songs, and incorporating technology. Teachers are advised to get to know each student well so they can tailor their instruction most effectively.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILLS
English has spread widely all over the world, first because of the influence of the British Empire and, second due to the pre-eminence of North American influence in the world. In Europe, English has advanced as an international language especially after World War II, leaving behind other preeminent languages such as French.
Paraphrasing
This document discusses paraphrasing and its importance. Paraphrasing involves rewriting a text in your own words while keeping the key ideas. It is important to paraphrase to avoid plagiarism and enhance vocabulary. The steps to paraphrase include carefully reading the passage, identifying the main ideas, highlighting important parts, and putting the ideas in your own words. Guidelines for effective paraphrasing include changing the structure, finding synonyms, altering between active and passive voice, and changing word forms. Exercises are provided to practice paraphrasing skills.
Comprehension powerpoint
The document discusses seven cognitive strategies that proficient readers use to interact with and comprehend texts: questioning, think-alouds, using prior knowledge, inferencing, visualizing, determining importance, and synthesizing. It provides explanations and examples of classroom activities for explicitly teaching each strategy to students through modeling, guided practice, and independent application. The goal is to help students improve their reading comprehension by learning how to enact these cognitive processes automatically.
Teaching speaking
Speaking is an interactive process that involves constructing meaning through verbal and non-verbal symbols. It allows people to express thoughts, feelings, and exchange information. Developing fluency requires a focus on accuracy in controlled activities and a focus on interaction in less controlled activities. Teachers can use activities like drills, pair/group work, games and role-plays to provide feedback, correction, and practice to improve students' speaking skills. Prior experience as a listener helps improve performance as a speaker by exposing students to models and helping them understand the challenges of speaking.
