MEtHOD of TEFL task III

                         It is possible teacher touch without mother tongue



All students are encouraged to take tuition in their mother tongue; this supports their overall literacy, cognitive success, and leads to better long term academic achievement.
Rather I believe there should be some real genuine reasons to use mother tongue.
I am sure that the students' mother tongue is a supporting factor  in language practice classes or in teaching a particular subject
Whether students' mother tongue should be used and to what extent while teaching a second language, I think, depends on many factors.
There are many ways of building students confidence . If the teacher is really good sooner or later the the students would understand that he or she can always rely on you. The teacher should make the students understand in the beginning it self that  the classroom  is like a lab where everybody can make mistakes and the teacher is always there to support and clear their doubts.
The use of the students mother tongue has the following positive effects:
1. It can be used as an ice breaker to bring students into the fold
2. It can be used to build confidence in the students to talk
3. The student is confident that he/she can depend on you if there's anything that he/she does not understand
4. It makes the student feel comfortable and he/she knows that you will understand   
5. The student feels assured that you will not laugh at him/her when he/she makes mistakes
The use of the mother tongue will be more during the beginners or elementary stage.  However as the student progresses on to the lower intermediate level the use of the mother tongue should be reduced and dropped completely by the intermediate and upper intermediate level.

EXTENSIVE READING 2

                                           The differences magazine and newspaper



Newspapers differ from magazine in the content and style of writing. They also differ in the way of production and the target audience. Magazines usually are sold on subscriptions with the subscriber reserving the reading for leisure time. The article can be little longer than the newspaper as the subscriber is reading it in a break or exclusive time reserved for reading. Advertisements are inherent part of magazines than the newspapers and require concentration on the guidelines of the advertiser. For example there are stringent exhaustive guidelines for placing ads on the other page of the articles. These guidelines are required due to the readers association of the advertisement with the article they read on the other page. It’s a neural link and can be associated with your remembrance of the activity that you pursued when the September 11 news of terrorist attacks reached you. The nature of our minds to associate with group objects creates an attachment which is effectively used by advertising giants to place their ads with articles relevant to their products.


Newspapers differ in concept and headlines. Readers drive the newspapers rather than advertisers. Newspapers would dare to print controversial news and do not entertain even large advertisers to dictate the running of the paper. Newspapers are read in between work and do not have exclusive time dedicated for reading like magazines. So newspaper articles are concise, short with punch to interest the reader within a short span of time. Newspapers focus on catchy headlines to interest the reader to read the article. Lot of writers are employed in newspapers to captivate reader attention with specialized writers on editorials, crisis reporters and fluff reporters but in magazines have lesser staff and the writers play end to end roles from producing, writing and even publishing oriented work.

MEtHOD of TEFL task II

                                               
Which one is better, English by native speaker
or English by teacher……..?

How To Learn English is mixed. Some people learn English with a dictionary of the English language or by trying to memorize the dictionary. 
English is more effective if we learn with a teacher than a native  speaker because the teachers  have experience and qualifications of the best, because our program really is designed according to our needs. 

Teachers have personal experience in learning the language so that these teachers have the experience and knowledge of how difficult learning a second language. He can share effective strategies to learn the language because he himself has proved it. He also understands the pressures and stress felt by students because he had also felt the same. This can foster a sense of sympathy.
When compared with native speakers who can only master one language (the language itself) and have not been able to master another language, the teachers have more value in this.

METHOD of TEFL

                                   
 
                                                 My first experience when I was learning English


My first experience when I was learning English is when I was studying  in  junior high school.
At that
moment,  English is very new for me I thing it’s is very difficult.
As a new student I feel a bit scared because the teacher tubby, curl hair and looked fierce.
She is Mrs.Betta  my first English teacher.
First I learned to sing ABC, had been singing together but then we were told to
sing one by one and memorize it.


Because I feel afraid so I was not focus with the material. So I was wrong in singing and as punishment I was told to sing in front of  the class and I feel nervouse. 
So we can not enjoyed the lessons because learning english like a monster for us.
My friends laugh at me because I was only silence in front of  the class. After that I started to learn English because I do not want to be punished again.
