omprehensive analysis of TESOL teaching knowledge

What is TESOL?

TESOL is a simple acronym that stands for Teaching English to Speaker of Other Languages. TESOL learning allows us to learn practical teaching skills, know how to control the beginning of the classroom, motivate students, and learn in a happy classroom atmosphere. There are different approaches for different age levels. For example, for teenagers, you can take them to do sports games such as reaction activities, while for adults, you can do fun with logical thinking, such as guess mind.

How to be a good teacher?

Usually, it is hard to be a good teacher, and you need to have many good qualities, such as humor, patience, etc. This way, students will be more interested in the class, and it is essential to learn to control the pace of the course and understand the students' status. Besides, let STT be the leading time, i.e., student talking time, and TTT is the supporting time. Teacher talking time. Interaction is the time that teacher and students master together. Teach students to find a learning style that suits them, e.g., and social learners are better suited to join a team to learn together. Visual learners prefer to learn information through visual observation so that they can learn through charts or pictures.

TESOL is divided in detail into listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Each point is essential. It also represents students' ability, and it is necessary to know how to make students better master these abilities.

Speaking

Speaking is about forming sentences from words and expressing your inner thoughts logically. For younger students, say what i say, do what i do. is fun, they can imitate the teacher's exaggerated and rich body language, and it facilitates familiarity with vocabulary and expressions. More recently, say opposite i say, do opposite i do. This upgraded version of the presentation helps students think about the language and retain it more easily. For adults, the game Find the Difference is a more visual elaboration of related words and sentences. They need to know the corresponding terms and describe them in statements.

Reading

Reading is the core of language learning, and by improving reading skills, students enhance their logical thinking skills. There are three aspects of reading: pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading, and for unfamiliar vocabulary, we can judge and guess through contextual connections. The five strategies for reading are: previewing, predicting, skimming and scanning, assuming from context, paraphrasing. Reading usually requires students to concentrate, such as calling out to a student at random to read the article and stopping at any time. This allows students to work on their response skills.

Writing

Good way to improve your students writing skills. Because writing have five steps: prewriting, drafting, revising, proofreading, publishing. Prewriting is what we write when we are getting ready to ‘really write’. Drafting means writing sentences and paragraphs. Focus on writing structure: instruction, body, conclusion. Revising including revise and edit. Proofreading is editing and proofreading marks. Publishing means share your writing with others.

In the 1970s many English L2 language programmed writing classes were, in reality, grammar courses. Students copied sentences or short pieces of discourse, making discrete changes in person or tense. The teaching philosophy grew directly out of the audiolingual method: students were taught incrementally; error was prevented and accuracy was expected to arise out of practice with structures. In the early 1980s, as teachers became more aware of current practices in NES composition, there was a shift from strictly controlled writing to guided writing: writing was limited to structuring sentences, often in direct answers to questions, or by combining sentences-the result of which looked like a short piece of discourse.

Listening

Listening in language teaching has undergone several important influences, as the result developments in anthropology, education, linguistics, sociology, and even global politics. From

time foreign languages were formally taught until the late nineteenth century, language learn was presented primarily in a written mode, with the role of descriptive grammars, bilingual

dictionaries and 'problem sentences' for correct translation occupying the central role. Listen began to assume an important role in language teaching during the late-nineteenth-century Reform. Movement, when linguists sought to elaborate a psychological theory of child language acquisition and apply it to the teaching of foreign languages. Resulting from this movement, the spoken language became the definitive source for and means of foreign language learning. Accuracy perception and clarity of auditory memory became focal language learning skills.

vocabulary

Words are important in language. Because speaking uses words, writing requires understanding words, and listening and reading are even more important. Only when we know the meaning or special significance of words can we use them wisely in the language. And when faced with words we don't know, we can use guessing words, positive words, negative words, nouns, verbs and adjectives to understand the vocabulary. And to guess the meaning of the word, or the meaning of the sentence, by relating it to the context.

Central to research into vocabulary learning are key questions concerning how words are learned. Teachers help learners with vocabulary directly or 'explicitly' by means of word lists, paired

translation equivalents and in variously related semantic sets. They also help learners by more indirect or 'implicit' means, such as exposure to. words in the context of reading real texts. Over

many years a key question asked by teachers and researchers is 'What does it mean to learn a word?' A definition of learning a word depends crucially on what we mean by a word, but it also

depends crucially on how a word is remembered, over what period of time and in what circumstances it can be recalled and whether learning a word also means that it is always retained.

TESOL has brought us many new ideas and ways of teaching and learning. It allows students to be more involved in classroom interactions, to be the protagonists of the class, and to have fun and increase their interest in learning, while the teacher plays a guiding role.
