Teaching writing
Of the 4 skills, writing is arguably the most problematic for learners and often the most challenging
for teachers. Writing is not easy particularly when compared with speaking, where
reformulations, body language, clues from listeners can do much to compensate for a lack of
precision or inaccuracies when communicating messages. Time is also a factor – writing may be
relegated to homework tasks as there is often a feeling that writing in class uses up time which can
be more usefully spent on other activities. However, as this workshop aims to show, developing
good writing skills is conducive to the development of other language skills including
communication skills.
This slide presentation explains the problems and solutions of EFL / ESL reading classes. You can also find the theories of reading and reading skills in accordance with the Common Reference Levels.

Using Exit Slips to Assess Student Understandingijtsrd
This paper intends to use exit slip as an assessment tool in the classroom. Since students have been taught English as a second language, all students in the classroom cannot get full information according to their background knowledge. So teachers need to check their understanding of the materials. By using exit slip that is assessment tool, teachers can know their needs and weakness.

Free webinar on "Balancing the different learning of students"
Different students have their optimum learning method. Some will learn pretty fast when they read texts while others prefer to listen to the teacher. There is yet another group of students that will need a practical demonstration for whatever they have learned to stick. The teacher is left with the difficult task of finding the balance that will be favorable to every student.
Purpose:
The purpose of this webinar is to bring new knowledge on balancing the different learning needs of students. Here are some parts of our methodology that help us succeed in keeping our students of all level interested and engaged like teaching creatively, independent projects, making our students the teachers, following their own assets and self assessment.
Sometimes we see teachers in class speaking and speaking without giving students the opportunity to say samething, so this ppt's intention is to know what to do or not to do. Thanks to AE.

14. IN ORDER TO “WORK” READINGS, WE NEED TO BE
FAMILIAR WITH THE FOLLOWING TEACHING READING
TECHNIQUES:
◦ Predicting.- to say what will happen after reading the
title or looking at the pictures in the reading exercise.
◦ Skimming.- reading rapidly for the main ideas.
◦ Scanning.- reading rapidly to find a specific piece of
information.
◦ Making inferences.- to form an opinion or guess that
something is true because of the information that you
have. This means that the information is never clearly
stated.
24/07/2015 santyna
15. ◦ Analyzing vocabulary.-antonyms, contrasting,
pictures.
◦ Asking and answering comprehension questions.
◦ Summarizing.- to express the most important facts or
ideas about something in a short and clear form.
◦ Paraphrasing.-to repeat something written or spoken
using different words.
◦ Personalizing the reading to students’ experiences.

16. 1.-PRE-READING.-this is the phase when teachers
prepare students for the reading. You can have
students predict, make inferences, etc. so they will
be prepared for what they are going to read.
