How would you teach english as a second language?

Question

I mean, what topics and in what order?

Answer 1

What about going by topics such as greetings, introduction (name, address, family, etc.), like vs. dislike in hobbies, daily activities to teach present tense, current activities to teach present continuous tense, plan to teach future tense, activities or something happened in the past to teach past tense, etc. You'll need teaching aids like songs, pictures,toys, written exercises, and many more to support the teaching-learning activities. Excursion and English Day/Night, trivia or competition can not be missed.
You can also take a TESOL course. This will be very helpful and give you buckets of ideas.

Good luck!

Answer 2

This is an impossible question to answer fully. The most important things to consider are what level the learners are, their age and to a lesser extent their nationality.

As an efl teacher, I have two folders of materials. A grammar folder and a skills folder (the skills are reading, listening, writing and speaking in case you don't know). You ask specifically about topics so the topics I have within the skills folder are food, travel, crime, men/women, appearance, environment, sport and relationships. That's not an exhaustive list but if I teach another topic, I get materials from a textbook. My folder are for tried and tested stuff. Have a look at some textbooks to familiarize yourself with typical efl topics. My favourite textbooks are Cutting Edge and Headway.

If you are just starting out with efl teaching, the best thing to do is ask your colleagues lots of questions (if you have them) and stick to the textbooks. You can build up your own set of materials over time.

Another idea might be to do a needs analysis on your students, particularly if they are adults. That way, they tell you what their needs are.

I'd be happy to help further but your question is a bit too vague to answer properly.

Answer 3

If you're teaching kids, songs are nice.

Let me add a bit to this. There are two popular tracks. One is to teach the grammar of the language step by step, usually be verbs, common tenses, adjective and adverbs, and so on. The other way is to teach by the thing you are trying to accomplish: introduce yourself and others, talk about hobbies, talk about your studies, etc. , compare something, etc. Often, these two tracks are combined. At some point, usually when the students have a bit of language under their belts, people work to develop discussion, presentation, argument, analysis, and skills such as those at whatever level students happen to be on. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I live in Hanoi, Vietnam. Now, I'm working as a teacher of English. I've taught English for 3 years now.
-Answer:
When I teach English for Vietnamese people, I always compare with Vietnamese to find differences. As well, I encourage my students to imagine and guess when they learn English, which is of great help for them during their studying English.
