Sally makes teaching English to non-native speakers look easy. However, Sally is a new teacher who only graduated from SEE TEFL a few weeks before this lesson was filmed.

Like most SEE TEFL trainees, she had never taught before, had little awareness of the structures of her own language and had very limited experience of speaking in public. Over 4 weeks her teaching skills, language awareness and confidence were progressively developed. Her 6 observed teaching practices during the last two weeks of training teaching real students in a range of local schools consolidated skills learned in the training room. Sally is a fairly typical SEE TEFL graduate.

SEE TEFL trainees are introduced to classroom skills during the first week of training. Normally, each skill is looked at in isolation. The trainer will discuss and then model the skill. Trainees are then given opportunity to role-play to the other trainees this particular skill themselves. This helps to develop the skill and allows trainees to become more familiar and comfortable with using a whiteboard while communicating with a room of students. There is then constructive feedback from both the trainer and other trainees. In this way, each classroom skill is carefully and methodically developed.

6 observed teaching practices in real schools with real students during the second half of training consolidate these skills within a planned and structured lesson.

Practice -- Part 2 of the 3Ps

Practice can roughly be defined as the rehearsal of certain behaviours with the objective of consolidating learning and improving performance. Below are some of the characteristics of an effective language practice:

1 -- Practice Validity

2 -- Pre-learning

3 -- Volume (Amount) of Practice

4 -- Success Orientation

5 -- Issuing Activity Instructions and Managing the Activity
