3. The Role of the English Teacher An English teacher is not just a language instructor but a communication facilitator. Key roles: • Model correct and natural English • Encourage student talk time • Build confidence in language use • Create an English-rich classroom environment

4. The Four Language Skills (LSRW) 1. Listening – The foundation of understanding 2. Speaking – Expressing thoughts fluently 3. Reading – Building vocabulary and comprehension 4. Writing – Organizing thoughts clearly 🧩 All four skills must be practiced together for effective language learning.

5. Activity 1: Listen and Respond Objective: Encourage attentive listening and spontaneous speaking. Task: Read a short story or set of instructions aloud. Teachers respond to questions based on what they heard. 💡 Tip: Use familiar classroom situations to make it relatable.

6. Teaching Speaking Effectively Strategies: • Use pair and group activities • Encourage classroom dialogues and role-plays • Focus on pronunciation and tone • Correct errors gently and positively Example Activity: “Find Someone Who…” – A fun speaking game using simple questions.

7. Teaching Reading Effectively Steps: • Pre-reading – Predict content from title and pictures • While reading – Identify new words and key ideas • Post-reading – Discuss, summarize, and question Activity Idea: “Guess the Ending” – Stop mid-story and let students predict the conclusion.

8. Teaching Writing Effectively Focus Areas: • Sentence structure and organization • Word choice and grammar • Creative expression through guided writing Activities: • Picture composition • Story completion • “My Favourite Day” – short paragraph writing practice

9. Integrating Grammar and Vocabulary Teach grammar and vocabulary in context. Examples: • Grammar through stories: Identify verbs, nouns in a passage • Vocabulary through games: Word bingo, synonym search Goal: Make grammar meaningful and vocabulary memorable.

10. Activity 2: Error Hunt Objective: Build awareness of grammar and sentence structure. Task: Provide a short paragraph with 5–6 grammatical errors. Teachers identify and correct them collaboratively. 💬 Debrief: Discuss why each correction was made.

11. Creating an English-Rich Environment • Use English for instructions and greetings • Display word walls and student work • Encourage use of English during games and discussions • Appreciate efforts, not just accuracy 🌱 Consistent exposure helps learners think in English.

12. Reflection & Takeaways Reflect: • Which English skill needs more focus in your classroom? • What new strategy can you implement next week? • How will you encourage students to speak more? Remember: Language learning thrives in a joyful, interactive space.
