Teaching English can be fun, part of my on-line TEFL cert course was the cilp in my previous post. Presentation The presentation stage of the lesson is quite crucial as it naturally affects everything that follows. The idea is that the target language is presented logically and in context because if the students can recognise the language in context then they will have a better grasp of its function and will instinctively begin to use it appropriately. When the concept has been understood, the target language should be presented through a specific ‘model’ to help them understand the fundamentals of the concept. For example, when teaching a class on the second conditional, the presentation stage of the lesson could go as follows: Present the language in context via a video clip from a series called ‘What Would You Do If…?’ (*click here for a link to one of the videos - youtube/watch?v=jdFkojA3boU&playnext=1&list=PLROSRQsVldhx0gERmcYjEbH9lyhsvPY6j&featur...). This is a lively way of introducing quite a difficult grammatical concept and the themes involved (what would you do if you saw a waiter drop some food then put it back on the plate? etc.) should hopefully provoke some lively debate! Teacher then asks students what they would do in that particular situation. Provide one or two clear model sentences on the board highlighting the essential target language (What would you do if you saw a waiter drop some food then put it back on the plate? If I saw a waiter drop some food then put it back on the plate, I would report him to the manager.)
