The methonds:
The Direct Method In this method the teaching is done entirely in the target language. The learner is not
allowed to use his or her mother tongue. Grammar rules are avoided and there is emphasis on good
pronunciation.
Grammar-translation Learning is largely by translation to and from the target language. Grammar rules
are to be memorized and long lists of vocabulary learned by heart. There is little or no emphasis placed on
developing oral ability.
Audio-lingual The theory behind this method is that learning a language means acquiring habits. There is
much practice of dialogues of every situations. New language is first heard and extensively drilled before
being seen in its written form.
The structural approach This method sees language as a complex of grammatical rules which are to be
learned one at a time in a set order. So for example the verb "to be" is introduced and practised before the
present continuous tense which uses "to be" as an auxiliary.
Suggestopedia The theory underlying this method is that a language can be acquired only when the learner
is receptive and has no mental blocks. By various methods it is suggested to the student that the language is
easy - and in this way the mental blocks to learning are removed. Total Physical Response (TPR)
TPR works by having the learner respond to simple commands such as "Stand up", "Close your book", "Go
to the window and open it." The method stresses the importance of aural comprehension.
Communicative language teaching (CLT) The focus of this method is to enable the learner to
communicate effectively and appropriately in the various situations she would be likely to find herself in.
The content of CLT courses are functions such as inviting, suggesting, complaining or notions such as the
expression of time, quantity, location.
The Silent Way This is so called because the aim of the teacher is to say as little as possible in order that the
learner can be in control of what he wants to say. No use is made of the mother tongue.
Community Language Learning In this method attempts are made to build strong personal links between
the teacher and student so that there are no blocks to learning. There is much talk in the mother tongue
which is translated by the teacher for repetition by the student.
Immersion This corresponds to a great extent to the situation we have at our school. ESL students are
immersed in the English language for the whole of the school day and expected to learn math, science,
humanities etc. through the medium of the target language, English.
Immigrant students who attend local schools find themselves in an immersion situation; for example refugee
children from Bosnia attending German schools, or Puerto Ricans in American schools. .
Task-based language learning The focus of the teaching is on the completion of a task which in itself is
interesting to the learners. Learners use the language they already have to complete the task and there is little
correction of errors.
(This is the predominant method in middle school ESL teaching at Frankfurt International School. The tasks
are subsumed in a major topic that is studied for a number of weeks. In the topic of ecology, for example,
students are engaged in a number of tasks culminating in a poster presentation to the rest of the class. The
tasks include reading, searching the internet, listening to taped material, selecting important vocabulary to
teach other students etc.)
The Natural Approach This approach, propounded by Professor S. Krashen, stresses the similarities
between learning the first and second languages. There is no correction of mistakes. Learning takes place by
the students being exposed to language that is comprehensible or made comprehensible to them.
The Lexical Syllabus This approach is based on a computer analysis of language which identifies the most
common (and hence most useful) words in the language and their various uses. The syllabus teaches these
words in broadly the order of their frequency, and great emphasis is placed on the use of authentic materials.
2. Навчання фонетики. / Methods and techniques that can be used to teach phonetics
Once a teacher decides to make pronunciation an essential part of teaching, these techniques and activities
can be used. Teaching pronunciation usually has two parts. One is teaching receptive skills and the other is
productive skills. When comes to the listening part of the pronunciation teaching, learners are instructed to
keenly observe the changes and differences in phonemes and sounds of the words from a listening text or a
sample.
The more listening of the language would help the learner to transfer the thought of knowledge to apply in
productive skills. To enhance pronunciation of productive skills, various activities and trainings are required.
Drilling: To practice pronunciation in classroom, drilling serves as a chief technique. The origin of this
technique comes from the behaviourist psychological theory where drilling helps in memorizing the form of
the word and the sound of pronunciation. Drilling is also associated with ‘audio-lingual’ approaches to
teaching pronunciation. The responsibility of the teacher is high in order to help the students pronounce the
words correctly. Prompts, mime, pictures are also used by the teachers. Among the two types of drilling,
choral drilling and individual drilling, the former one is normally used in the beginning by the teachers to
evoke some confidence among the students and then the latter technique is used to help the teachers analyse
the individual results of teaching pronunciation. Selecting randomly to do the drilling would
keep the class attentive and the students at their toes. Substitution drilling: Substitution drilling is nothing,
but the
activity involves a drilling structure that substitutes few items with different vocabulary but with same form
of the sentence.
Associating sounds with ideas: This technique of associating different sounds with some creative related
ideas can help the learners to remember them easily. For example: the vowel sound [i:] can be referred to as
a ‘smiling’ sound. A wide smile can hold this sound. By doing so the learner also remembers that it is a
‘long’ vowel too. Using a phonemic chart: It helps the learners to enhance their pronunciation
independently, outside the classroom. Initially some instructions can be given to the learners by the teachers
in how to use the phonemic chart, etc. This chart can be used to teach the learners some new sounds and also
for correcting the already known sounds.
Chaining: To teach some difficult sentences like long sentences or sentences with some complex words, the
chaining technique is used by the. There are two ways to use this
technique: back chain and front chain. If the teacher helps the learners by drilling the sentence from the end
and progressively adding up with the complete sentence, then it is
called as ‘back chain’.

PRINCIPLES FOR TEACHING READING
1.. PRINCIPLE #1 EXPLOIT THE READER'S BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE “A readers background
knowledge can influence reading comprhension...”
2. PRINCIPLE #2 BUILD A STRONG VOCABULARY BASE “It is easier for the reader of academic texts
to cope with special terminology than with general vocabulary...”
3. PRINCIPLE #3 TEACH FOR COMPREHENSION “Teaching the author is an excellent technique for
meaningful cognitive interaction with the text and for assisting the students in the process of constructing
meaning from the text...”
4. PRINCIPLE #4 WORK ON INCREASING READING RATE Focuses on reader's independence on
dictionary. Focuses on fluency, not speed.
5. PRINCIPLE #5 TEACH READING STRATEGIES “Strategies are not a single event, but rather a
creative sequence of events that learners actively use..”
“To achieve the desired results, students need to learn how to use a range of reading strategies that match
their purpose for reading. Teaching them how to do this should be a prime consideration in the reading
classroom...”
6. PRINCIPLE #6 ENCOURAGE READERS TO TRANSFORM STRATEGIES INTO SKILLS “An
important distinction between strategies and skills...”
STRATEGIES -defined as conscious actions that learners take to achieve the desired goals or objectives
SKILL/S -a strategy that becomes automatic
8. PRINCIPLE #8 STRIVE FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AS A READING TEACHER
Several types of reading may occur in a language
Oral
Silent
Intensive
linguistic
content
Extensive
skimming
scanning
Intensive reading "calls attention to grammatical forms, discourse markers, and other surface structure
details for the purpose of understanding literal meaning, implications, rhetorical relationships, and the like."
Intensive Reading Characteristics
Reader is intensely involved in looking inside the text
Focus on linguistic or semantic details of a reading
Focus on surface structure details such as grammar and discourse markers
Identify key vocabulary
Draw pictures to aid them (such as in problem solving)
Read carefully
Aim is to build more language knowledge rather than simply practice the skill of reading
Intensive Reading Activities
Identify main ideas and details
Making inferences
Looking at the order of information and how it effects the message
Identifying words that connect one idea to another
Identifying words that indicate change from one section to another .
Extensive reading is carried out "to achieve a general understanding of a text."
– extensive reading as "occurring when students read large amounts of high interest material, usually out of
class, concentrating on meaning, "reading for gist" and skipping unknown words."
– The aims of extensive reading are to build reader confidence and enjoyment.
Extensive reading characteristics
The purposes of reading are usually related to pleasure, information and general understanding.
Reading is its own reward.
Reading materials are well within the linguistic competence of the students in terms of vocabulary and
grammar.
Reading is individual and silent.
Reading speed is usually faster than slower.
Teachers orient students to the goals of the program.
The teacher is a role model of a reader for the students.
Extensive reading activities
Interview each other about their reading.
Reading may be combined with a writing component. For example, after reading the newspaper, students
may be asked to write a newspaper report.
Class time reading
Students may set their own goals for their next session.
A reading log (recording number of pages read and at what level)
A reflection on what they noticed about their own reading
A book report or summary
A retelling of part of the text
Book project
Scanning is :
– A quick reading, focusing on locating specific information.
– Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until
the reader finds the piece of information needed.
– Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or
phrase, is required.
Scanning is used often with technical, scientific or professional materials to locate specific information.
Scanning is a valuable skill for second language learners to develop because often they do not require a
detailed read of a text.
Scanning activities
- Make predictions and guesses
- Use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
- activate prior knowledge
- anticipate what they want to learn about the topic
- Use titles, pictures, and prior knowledge to anticipate the contents of the text
- Use key words, that may have been given to them by the teacher, that do not appear in the text, that allude to
the main idea
Skimming is a quick reading to get:
– To know the general meaning of a passage
– To know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text
– To get the author´s purpose
Skimming is used to build student confidence and an understanding that it is possible to gain meaning
without reading every word in a text.
Skimming is used as part of the SQ3R method of reading, often for speed reading. This method involves the
student in surveying, questioning, reading, reviewing and reciting.
Skimming is used to review a topic.
Skimming activities
Locate facts and opinions
Sets a time limit to the reading activity
Exercises for the formation of auditory sub-skills of listening (phonemic and intonation hearing). For
example: Match the words and practice reading paying attention to the stress in the words.
Ex: `impact – im`pact `survey – sur`vey 2.
Exercises for the formation of lexical sub-skills of listening. For example: Listen to the phrases in English
and put a tick near the phrases that belong to the group of terms of your professional field of knowledge.
Ex: reaction, solution, acid, equation.
3. Exercises for the formation of grammatical sub-skills of listening. For example: Listen to some sentences
and say what the difference is.
Ex: There is much acid in the tube. There are much acid in the tube. As we can see from examples these
exercises aimed at phonetics, vocabulary and grammar. Teachers pay attention to them whenever it is
necessary to improve students’ knowledge and sub-skills in mentioned above speech activities.
The second sub-system of exercises includes such groups as:
1. Exercises that prepare students for listening texts.
For example: Look at the title of the text that you are going to listen and predict what this text is about. Then
listen to the text and define the information that you haven't mentioned.
Ex: Acid rains.
2. Exercises for developing listening skills.
For instance: Listen to the text and define if the statements are true or false. Also the teachers can suggest
students to answer the questions; complete the sentences; choose the correct variant etc.
This group of exercises is rather effective way to work in groups or pairs. Students can also discuss the text
to be listened to or film to be watched. So, these exercises can assist students to master the skills in listening
comprehension.
7.formation of competence in dialogic speech
Dialogic speech -the process of speech interaction between two or more participants in communication.
Within the speech act, each of the participants in turn acts as a listener and as a speaker.
DS performs the following communicative functions:
1) request - information message,
2) proposal (in the form of a request, order, advice) - acceptance / non-acceptance of the proposal,
3) exchange of judgments / opinions / impressions,
4) mutual belief / justification of their point of view.
The peculiarity of dialogic speech is its situationality. Situational DM is because often its content can be
understood only in the light of the situation in which it is carried out.
Dialogue, as a rule, involves the visual perception of the interlocutor and a certain incompleteness of
statements, which are supplemented by non-verbal means of communication (gestures, facial expressions .
The defining feature of dialogic speech is its emotional coloring, which is reflected in the selection of lexical
and grammatical means, in the structure of remarks, in the intonation, and so on. This dialogue contains
remarks of surprise, admiration, appreciation, disappointment, dissatisfaction, etc.
Dialogic speech cannot be planned in advance, because the speech behavior of each participant in the
dialogue is largely determined by the speech behavior of the partner. This causes spontaneity,
unpreparedness of speech actions.
Dialogic speech is bilateral. The interlocutor acts as a speaker, then a listener, who must respond to the
partner's remarks. Possession of dialogic speech presupposes mastery of speaking and listening. Based on
this, students need to develop the ability to initiate dialogue, respond to the interlocutor's remarks and
encourage him to continue the conversation.
- Tea, please.
2. "Ready" speech units ("formulas", "templates", "clichés", "stereotypes"). They are used to express
gratitude, exchange greetings, congratulations, to attract the attention of the interlocutor at the beginning of
the conversation, etc. ("Excuse me", "Thank's a lot").
3. The presence of words that are called "fillers of silence." They serve to maintain the conversation, to fill
the pauses in it, when the speaker is looking for a suitable cue
4. The presence of constricted forms (not in all languages) (it’s, aren’t, wasn’t)
+ Thus, the purpose of teaching monologue speech at school is the formation of certain monologue skills,
namely: correctly in terms of language tools, logically and consistently, communicatively motivated,
creatively use the learned language material to express their thoughts in a foreign language.
types of monologue statements.
The main types of monologue: description, story, reflection.
Their classification is based on such logical categories as space, time, cause and effect.
- the predominant use of simple and complex sentences with list-connecting and sequential-
connecting connection;
- use of mainly such time-species forms as Present Continious, Present Indefinite, Past Indefinite;
Dialogic speech is understood as the exchange of statements that arise in the process of conversation
between two or more interlocutors.
The psychological characteristics of dialogic speech include motivation, appeal, situationality,
emotional coloring, spontaneity, two-way speech.
Dialogue is a form of speech in the process of which there is a direct exchange of interconnected and
interdependent statements. The first element of the dialogue is a cue. Remarks come in different
lengths - from one to several phrases. The most typical is a single-phrase replica.
+ There are the following types of cues: cue-motivation, cue-reaction. Students must master the
ability to formulate a cue, that is, to start a conversation and respond with a cue-response: to respond
to the statements of the interlocutor with a cue-reaction, which would also contain a clue to support
the conversation. DM training begins with replication training. Then move on to learning to create
dialogic units. Dialogic unity - a set of cues that are characterized by structural, intonational and
semantic completeness is called dialogic unity. Dialogic unity (DE) is considered a unit of learning
DM. The unity of several DE, characterized by syntactic and communicative completeness, is called
the structure of dialogue.
9. stages of learning to write. system of exercises for the formation of competence in writing.
Competence in writing technique (KTP) is a way human personality to the correct calligraphy and spelling
physical design of a written statement, which based on a complex and dynamic response their skills,
knowledge and language awareness.
Graphic writing skills- are the skills of correct type letters and connect them in a word.
Spelling skills - it is the skills of writing words in from compliance with the rules of use of written
characters in to each specific word.
Type of exercises:
Visual dictations. The words are written on the board / cards or a phrase, a short text that students read, and
the teacher pays attention to the difficulties in them writing. Then what is written is erased and students
write from memory.
Warning dictation. The teacher reads the sentence. Students analyze the spelling of individual words. The
hardest words can be written on the board and analyzed. After that, the teacher reads the sentence again and
asks students to write it in their notebooks.
Exercises in spelling words with certain features
4. Write from the given words with the phrase igh in
in the middle of a word / word with the suffix ous with the prefix
and so on.
5.Write from the given pair of words that are read the same, but written differently!
Eng .: two - too, see - sea, one - won.
Spelling is also facilitated by other written exercises performed in the classroom and at home.In the process
of learning spelling, it is widely practiced to compare the new with the already learned on the basis of
spelling and phonetic similarities and at the same time to focus students' attention on their differences.
The comfort of children's interaction when communicating in a foreign language largely depends on how
the various organizational forms of learning are used.
Along with individual and frontal work, it is also necessary to actively introduce other forms into the
educational process:
choral,
group,
collective,
design.
A project is an activity based on a child's interests.
Teachers of our school widely use these forms of work in lessons. First, children are not afraid to speak
and make mistakes when they speak in chorus. Secondly, they hear their neighbor's pronunciation and try to
repeat it with him. In this way we increase the time by providing them with active speech activity. At home,
most children do not have the opportunity to speak English, so this activity is intended for class work.
Let me say a few words about the textbooks. Thus, the teacher becomes a mentor of independent
educational and cognitive and creative activities of students. With many advantages, one should also keep in
mind the disadvantages: with frequent use, the perception of interactive games becomes mechanical, loses
creative interest, so it is necessary to diversify games and combine interactive teaching methods with
traditional ones.
Motivating ESL students is a fundamental aspect of teaching young learners English. “Motivation has been
called the ‘neglected heart’ of language teaching,” according to Michael Rost. “As teachers, we often forget
that all of our learning activities are filtered through our students’ motivation. Motivation affects effort,
which, in turn, affects results and ultimately, students’ abilities. By building their motivation, you can help
students become more skillful in English and nourish their ability to learn.
How to Motivate ESL Students: 3 Strategies
1. Trigger Their Interests
Make English learning personal. By connecting language to something personal in your students’ lives,
they’ll tap into something emotional that will help with engagement. Rost offers a couple of ways to trigger
students’ interests. One way is to integrate current topics, music, movies, and fads to create a relevant class
culture. Another option is to investigate the theme of self-expression. By using personalized tasks, idea
journals, and speaking circles, learners will be motivated by the fact that the class focuses on their personal
lives.
2. Integrate Fun Activities and Technology
Games and fun activities offer several benefits to students. Marina Dodigovic wrote in The TESOL
Encyclopedia of English Language Teaching that “games promote learner centeredness, create the space for
genuine communication within a meaningful context, and are often team‐oriented.” She went on to say,
“They have been found to stimulate motivation, reduce anxiety, and allow for the integration of all language
skills.”
Technology can help locate effective games and activities, but don’t overlook how it can become a central
motivation. In a separate chapter of The TESOL Encyclopedia of English Language Teaching, Sara Smith
described how ESL learners can view English as necessary for accessing the digital world. In other words,
they’re motivated to learn English because they want to use technology generally or engage in specific
digital environments.
3. Encourage Language Experiences Outside of the Classroom
By engaging students with English outside of the classroom, you can impact your students’ motivation.
Applied Linguistics polled more than 100 high school students in Sweden, where English is prominent, and
found that the English language learners exerted less effort in the classroom. They strongly believed that
language is best learned “naturally,” outside of school. A report from Oxford University Press found that
across 30 studies, outside-of-class reading was linked to positive motivation for young language learners.
There are many options to increase the level of their knowledge and their confirmation. For example,
participation in seminars and trainings, international projects, refresher courses. But real professionals are
always demanding, first of all, to themselves. Therefore, if there is a choice, choose the best. Moreover, in
order to encourage teachers to participate in such programs, the Ministry of Education and Science counts
international certificates (diplomas) as hours of professional training during the planned courses at the
Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education. Among such certificates, the Cambridge courses and exams
for English teachers deserve special attention. Today, Ukrainian teachers in Ukraine can obtain such
certificates as CELTA, Delta, CELT-P, CELT-S and TKT. We will talk about them later.
CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is the most popular
qualification in the world among English language teachers. With such a certificate, you can work as an
English teacher not only in Ukraine, because CELTA is almost equivalent to a diploma from a British
College of Education, issued by the Cambridge Assessment University.
training sessions (inputs), during which you will learn the basics of teaching language by
communicative methods, both in theory and in practice with colleagues;
observations of more experienced teachers who already have CELTA. Only 6 hours per course;
self-assessment and feedback sessions, in which you will discuss and analyze your own classes and
the lessons of your colleagues with the help of experienced trainers of the course in order to improve
them;
lesson planning sessions, which will take place daily with course tutors. They will help you plan
lessons effectively, according to the requirements of communicative methods;
teaching practice is the most important component of the CELTA course. You will teach real people
with different levels of English. Your practice will be evaluated by colleagues and tutors of the
course. This is the whole point of CELTA: your coach watches your lessons, you worry, you get
feedback at every stage, you work on mistakes. You literally live every lesson;
performing mandatory written assignments (Written Assignments), without which, as well as without
practice, it is impossible to obtain a certificate.
Delta (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). You may have a question, is
it possible to take this course without experience at CELTA? True, this is possible, but it is also safe to
say that such candidates are much weaker and receive less benefit and development from the course,
because, in fact, they need to learn both CELTA and Delta, and that's too much.
Delta equates to 1/3 of the master's program. Therefore, if you have such a certificate and you decide to
get a master's degree at a university in, say, Britain, you will be credited with 60 credits. The course
consists of three modules that can be taken all together or separately, in any order and at any time. You
learn at your own pace.
The Delta course is designed for teachers who have at least two years of experience. It is suitable for
teachers who work in any context and with any age range - junior high school students, teenagers or
adults, because you have the opportunity to focus on what interests you.
TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test) shows how you develop as a teacher. The exam is ideal for those
who want to confirm their knowledge in the field of English language teaching with a certificate that is
recognized worldwide. TKT has 5 modules that can be selected and assembled in the sequence of your
choice at any time convenient for you. You receive a Cambridge English certificate after each completed
module.
