Pre-reading activities 2

This time, let´s talk a little bit about Skimming!

*Skimming is a complex strategy used by C1 and C2 readers of any language. It is taught after all kind of pre-reading skill because the reader needs to search for specific data, such as: format, title, topic sentence, supportive sentences, etc; thus, this can glance through the text quicker. Here, it is also important to have awareness of lexical units and abilities to look for main ideas. Additionally, it is a nice strategy to develop and be more fluent in reading thanks to the awakening of background knowledge and specialised knowledge of the general framework.

On the other hand, *Scanning is a less complex technique that is used to locate a datum of interest in a text. It is recommended for beginner, intermediate and upper intermediate learners. You search for a date or name that recalls.

GLOBAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TESOL, TEFL, TESL AND CELTA

“International Standard Teacher Certifications”

(TESOL), Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

(TEFL), Teaching English as a Foreign Language

(TESL), Teaching English as a Second Language

(CELTA), Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

Confused about what they are and their differences:

Teaching Certificates for future teachers:

Let´s start with the first one, TESOL: this one encompasses the other certifications about English Language Teaching. This is designed to teachers who teach the lingua Franca to speakers who does not speak the language as their mother tongue.

The second one is TEFL: This prepares the teacher to teach English in context where the learners are not active users out of the classroom. This is also a certificate that prepares you to teach NNEST in a foreign country.

The third one is TESL: this in opposite to the previous one is based on contexts where English is the first language of the learners and the teacher is prepared to teach it to students interested in learning their mother tongue. It is also to prepare teachers who wish to teach NNEST in English speaking countries.

The last one is CELTA: this is meant to be a specific brand of TESOL course operating under the brolly of Cambridge University. You can think of TESOL as the type of product and CELTA as a derivational brand. This is also a respected course and is the best known. The vast majority of teachers consider it the most recognised of TESOL courses. There are other well-known TESOL courses as well (Trinity TESOL or SIT TESOL); but, CELTA is by far the most internationally deemed accreditation.

Denomination according to the type of learner:

English as a Second Language, ESL: English is taught to learners whose context English is the primary means of communication in everyday routine. Learners learn their own language or students come to study it in English Speaking countries.

English as a Foreign Language, EFL: English is taught to learners whose context English is not used out of their school settings and people do not speak it actively in daily interactions.

ESL and EFL are already discussed, but how about these following ones:

English as an Additional Language (EAL) & English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL): these terms are used in context where learners are polyglots and English cannot be considered their second language because it would sound mistakenly inaccurate. These interchangeable terms are useful to experts who want to replace the ones above.

English Language Learner (ELL):

This is used in context where the learner is able to speak more than the L1 and L2, this one can also produce a L3 and L4. ELL is broader term and specialists can use it in places where there is a significant variety of cultural backgrounds.

How to be a better book worm when free

           As an active reader, I really do things to improve my writing input and command of all of the languages I know; but, It is simply hard to adhere to rule and to abide by any norm when pandemonium is present. So far, you get into the underground system and people talk for England and you do not feel cheerful because of interruptions. I decided to plan on creating methodologies in language acquisition and more for personal growth. Let us see so many of them…

 

1. study out of your comfort zone: It is better to have got a seat when you do not fall asleep than a rocking chair to fall on the ground with no lesson learnt.
2. put your arm in meditation position: It helps you to avoid removing your books when concentrating on any topic. 
3. Look for a safety place: It is true that where your heart is, It is the right place to learn.
4. Look for a silent place: the less you hear others, the better your retaining of data.
5. Put images all round: If there are images glued on the wall or wherever you can see them, you will go back to pages.
6. Prepare your best chewing gum or cuppa, they really accelerate heart beats till the point your brain will get better oxygen. 
7. Set the table: your timetable must be set up with the porpuse of reading that specific book and not other.
8. Be fresh: do not do any kind of physical activity before getting into touch with your books, It has the opposite effect. Instead of being distressed, you will be more stressed. 
9. Call your best friend: let those close to you that you will be reading an interesting topic and leave them with an intriguing interest, so they will want you to tell them later.
10. Sit in the right place: always look for a place you are familiar with and never go to new place at least you want to experiment any form of sensation with a new reading. 
11. Treat your book like your diary: If you feel that reading as yours, your learning will be significant to you. 
12. Identify the topic sentence: every parragraph has got a detonant sentence fragment, so go for it and make it sense.
