Enhancing English Profiency

1. Enhancing Teachers’ English Proficiency Teacher Training Workshop | Duration: 1 Hour | Interactive & Practical

2. Training Objectives By the end of this session, teachers will be able to: • Identify their current level of English proficiency • Improve fluency, pronunciation, and vocabulary • Gain confidence in classroom communication • Use English naturally in teaching and daily interaction

3. Why English Proficiency Matters • Builds confidence in teaching through English • Creates a positive language model for students • Improves clarity in instruction and communication • Enhances professional growth and opportunities

4. Key Components of English Proficiency 1. Vocabulary – Knowing the right words 2. Grammar – Using correct sentence structures 3. Pronunciation – Speaking clearly and accurately 4. Fluency – Speaking smoothly without hesitation 5. Comprehension – Understanding what is heard and read

5. Activity 1: Vocabulary Builder Objective: Expand teachers’ active vocabulary. Task: Present a set of everyday classroom phrases. Teachers suggest synonyms or better alternatives. Example: • “Do fast” → “Hurry up” • “Keep silence” → “Be quiet please” 💡 Discuss how small changes make English sound more natural.

6. Pronunciation & Intonation Practice Focus Areas: • Commonly mispronounced words (comfortable, vegetable, education) • Stress and rhythm in sentences • Rising and falling tones for meaning and emotion Activity: Repeat tongue twisters and short dialogues with correct stress.

7. Grammar in Everyday Speech Goal: Use correct and natural grammar in spoken English. Example focus areas: • Tenses in classroom instructions • Subject-verb agreement • Prepositions in daily expressions 💬 Practice: Convert direct translations to natural English. E.g., “Where you are going?” → “Where are you going?”

8. Activity 2: Think & Speak Objective: Build fluency and spontaneous speaking. Task: Each teacher picks a topic card (e.g., My Favorite Book, A Memorable Class) and speaks for one minute. 💡 Tips: • Encourage natural tone, not memorized speech • Focus on clarity, confidence, and flow, not perfection

9. Listening & Comprehension Skills Strategies to improve listening: • Listen to English podcasts or short stories daily • Practice summarizing what you hear • Focus on keywords and context clues Classroom Application: Play short audios for students and discuss their understanding.

10. Creating an English-Speaking Environment • Use English for greetings, instructions, and interactions • Encourage peer conversation in English • Display English charts, word walls, and student work • Celebrate “English-only days” to make it fun and habitual

11. Reflection & Commitment Reflect: • What area of English proficiency do I need to work on most? • How can I practice daily to improve? • What habits can I model for my students? 🗣️ Commit: “I will use English confidently every day — in and beyond the classroom.”

12. Thank You! “Proficiency comes with practice — speak, listen, read, and think in English every day.” Keep learning, keep improving!
