Teaching - January 2007

I have just volunteered to take over a class from an experienced ESL teacher. Yikes! I have some lesson plans from esl-images.com and some other information. I am looking for good, practical advice to get started teaching classes. I am not a teacher by profession but have taught internal courses for my companies before. Good ESL web sites are welcome too.

I just had this teacher for Fall 2006 semester in college, and she is truly horrible. Her projects, quizes, and exams, and taking off massive points for minor flaws in excel projects eventually made me change my major.

Hello. I am an English teacher in China. I have one question just below, which is taken from the 2006 China National Matriculation English Test. Actually, I posted this question on the Internet several days ago, and I got nearly 20 answers (thanks for all the help). Most of the answers (except a few) chose “when”, but the official answer is “that”.
You know this is a high stakes exam to millions of Chinese. Is the official answer “that” wrong? I particularly want more help form the English native speakers (American or British). Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot

Here's the sentence from a practice TOEIC exam: "As you know, he WAS previously MANAGING our Texas outfit, but he HAS just ARRIVED this morning . . . " (caps indicate blanks. can't figure out how to underline here)

Why can't we say, He HAS previously MANAGED . . ." in ths sentence? I am teaching a TOEIC class and I can't explain this grammar. I know that British English uses "has" more than we Yanks do. (I would just say, "He just arrived . . ." Please explain this in simple terms for a non-native speaker. Thanks!

hi i am a british female living in japan, recently my husband suggested that we make our own english school, but i dont know anything about making a business. There are some competition here with other teachers who rent rooms and teach english there for several hours etc, however i want to make a school with a difference, i want to be unique in some way. If you or your child were to attend foreign language classes what would you like to encounter? perhaps some service to the parents while their kids learn english, or something which would appeal to a student to provoke more learning? and how about advertising,,,i can only think of the local town hall,or local supermarket pin boards,,,hmmm am really new to this, i have 2 kids and all i have done for the past 3 years is look after them,,which is DULL,,,i want to be out there doing something for the public, not at home, my brain is growing a beard. any suggestions would be really welcome thanks.

I had a sub named Mr. Cuchie pronounced (Coochie). We had to finish reading of Mice and Men in English. He asked if we wanted to read it independantly or orally. My classmate raised her hand and said.. "We'd like it oral Mr. Cuchie". No pun intended. (snicker)

Is this a good idea for an assignment for a reading class in 3rd or 4th grade?

Each month a student needs to read one chapter book in their reading level, take a test on it, fill out a worksheet about the book, and then draw a picture that has something to do with the book like drawing a scene from the book or drawing a main character. The students will have a whole month to read the book, complete the test, worksheet, and picture. There will be a rubric on how this will be graded and this is a big part of their reading grade.

Is this too much to ask for 3rd or 4th graders and if so tell me some better ideas.
