Unknown Language is Mandarin!!
Ok…so tonight was the third lesson and we spent the first hour learning Mandarin!! How exhausting but very interesting to see how it would be for us as teachers!! Not a bad evening, in fact it was quite fun but really can’t remember anything apart from three numbers!!
The second half of the lesson was looking at teaching practice. We watched a short video and had to comment on the teaching practice, the objectives of the lesson and the stages of the lesson. This was very intersting but made me feel a little scared as i start my teaching practise the first week in November!!! oh my god!!
Homework this week was to write in our Unknown Language Journal and to write up our observation of the video teaching.
I have enrolled on an online grammar course as i really feel my grammar is not up to scratch so i will let you know if this benefits me.
If anyone has any questions or comment feel free to add them.

Hi Natalie, are you covering grammar on your TEFL course too?

Hello Jane,
Yes i believe we will be covering English grammar on the course, in about 2 weeks time we have a lesson called ‘Grammar Teaching Methodology/Presentation, Practice and Production’
I am not very good at grammar and even though i have read about 20 grammar books i still couldnt give an example of present simple continuous!!!
Hope this answers your question…feel free to make any comments.
