ESL TEACHING AND LEARNING SHARINGS

Module 2 has provided me with a number of ideas on what tools should be used to search for general information, e-books and journals for my post graduate studies and my teaching jobs. In the breakout room, my classmates have shared the search engines they frequently use for their jobs. I found Bing interesting as it helps us look for information without being disturbed by commercials. I myself think pdfdrive.com is another useful site if you want to search for e-books on linguistics or English language teaching. You can download the books for free of charge. Besides, we have discussed how to apply ABCD (Audience-Behavior-Condition-Degree) objectives into our teaching context.

In fact, it enhances my engagement and motivation because I had opportunities to interact with my teammates in a breakout room.

Finally, I felt excited to get the teacher's feedback and score. It's very encouragi...

Hello everyone! My name is N.G.U. I've been working as an English teacher at a public secondary school in Hanoi, Vietnam. I create this blog for many reasons. First of all, I would like to share my teaching ideas with other teachers who I may learn a lot from. As everyone knows, teaching is a hard job which requires so many skills and techniques. It's hard for us, as teachers, to find out the best teaching method for our students. Therefore, this blog may help me and other teachers to learn from each other to enhance our professional development. Secondly, I would like to enhance our students' language skills. I can rovide students with regular opportunities to write in English, helping them improve their grammar, vocabulary, and overall writing skills. Besides, I can offer reading materials and comprehension exercises to enhance students' reading skills. Then, they may find audio and video content to develop listening skills and be encouraged to speak through commen...
