  4. Teaching the past tense

    This show deals with teaching the past tense. The main points of the podcast are:

    * when should we teach the past tense?/What age is too young?
* How do Mark and Matt introduce the past tense to students
* what are some ways in the beginning to avoid the complications of irregular verbs
* ideas for content when teaching the past tense
* how to practice the past tense

    There are quite a few games and activities listed in the show, 4-5, I believe. So, this show there is no designated game of the week section, but we hope some of the activities mentioned in the show will give you something to work with.

  5. High grammar / low speaking ability

    Dave is working at a language school and international high school in Canada. Additionally he runs his own website for students to “learn English online.” We’ll talk a bit about his website and also in general about website building/promotion later in the show. In part one of the podcast, we focus on some of Dave’s students’ problems and how he handles them. He has a good number of Japanese students and they have a strong knowledge of grammar but a very low speaking level. Mark and Dave offer a few ideas on how to improve speaking competence and fluency with these learners.

  6. Motivation in the EFL Classroom

    ESL Teacher Talk,

    Sometimes classes can drag and there are two or three students really pulling it down. Mark and Eric discuss ways they keep students motivated and also ways to pull the “motivationaly challenged” back into the class.

    Another show topic that might interest you is rewards systems which Eric and Mark refer to several times in the show. http://www.eslteachertalk.com/2006/12/motivating-the-motivationaly-challenged/

  7. Using dolch sight words in ESL

    Matt brings in the show’s main topic, Dolch Sight Words. We first go over briefly what sight words are for those that are unfamiliar and then discuss how Matt found them to be inspiring and exciting in some classes where phonics-only was failing. For Matt’s class they really sped up reading and the learning process.

    Mark has taken the original list and made a graded and short version for his ESL classes. You can find those downloads and a more in-depth explanation of the lists on the MES Dolch Sight Words Resources page.

    We also go over:

    * when to start using sight words
* the importance of knowing the word before memorizing the spelling
* using a book to create a list of sight words and then immediately applying knowledge to context to inspire your readers
* 5 different games and activities you can use in your classes to practice sight words
