Supporter Comment by Ellen Pham on March 30, 2009 at 5:15pm: WOW David, vast resource! I don't have time to go through it all today :D, but it looks quite wonderful, a very dedicated project from the people at the University of Oregon : ). Oregon is a good place to pull these programs from- dedicated to best practices, without the politicization that I hear about from other states. One note, the first link I clicked, Film in the Classroom, did not link to that article.

I'm looking forward to going through these materials, anticipating that I will learn a lot. Many ESL methods relate directly to the elementary classroom, and vice versa. I hope other teachers can find the time to investigate too... I've popped it into my toolbar, I'll keep plugging away at it!

Supporter Comment by ddeubel on March 30, 2009 at 11:10pm: Yes, agreed Ellen. I just wanted to promote these that have got no action on their site. Also will be making quizzes and activities for each module. Stay tuned.

Yes, also will have to cull some of the links and I'll be adding some others too that I think are appropriate. If anyone has a recommended link for any module - please post here ! and I'll put it up if it is appropriate....

Comment by Mehjabeen Rahman on April 3, 2009 at 7:37am: Hello David...
This is really good... lots of resources to go through! Thx for this wonderfully done work !

Supporter Comment by ddeubel on April 4, 2009 at 1:44am: Thanks Mahjabeen - stay tuned. I continue to add and delete links/content. I'll be putting up a moodle shortly where those wanting to take the course can register and do assignments to get their certificate. I'll be asking for some teacher trainers to help! but also a good resource for prof. development, isn't it?

Comment by Mehjabeen Rahman on April 4, 2009 at 9:41am: That's a very good idea David ! we're with you..

Supporter Comment by Ellen Pham on April 6, 2009 at 7:09am: Ok, I'm just going to be blunt now as I review the materials : )

Effective EFL Teacher - very nice intro, great music, lively, pulls in interest to the course, enough substance, but not too much for an intro. In other words, provides a healthy, beneficial focus for the class.

Graphic Organizers: - Nice, everybody likes some handy graphic organizers : ). Also, everythingesl ia a helpful, user-friendly site for new teachers to browse.

Teacher's Handbooks - It looks like a nice collection, but some of the pdf files come up as damaged when I try to view or download. I can't view the first three you list, then some work in the added lists, I'll check again tomorrow after a restart : ). Are these supplemental readings? Are they the best books available in these areas? The reason I push this is that it is a lot to ask of a student to read an academic book on teaching. Some people eat this kind of writing up, but most of us find it dry and have to push ourselves to get through it. If you can sincerely say, I think you will feel grateful you have read this, it is the best material I have found in this area, then, if I trust your judgment, I will make the effort to read it. Without this personal endorsement, I am likely to just skim.

TESOL course Handbook - file damaged. Cannot download or view.

1st video, Principles and Practices - H.D. Brown, not effective. Dated presentation, it seems like the professor is not really saying that much. If I'm taking his course in real life, I have to sit through it. If I'm in control on the computer.... : )

Contextualizing Language - module video- the example of the elementary classroom is so cute! I might argue with the teacher that monkeys scratching does not necessarily indicate that they are fighting, and the author might have (probably) actually meant scratching, but those kinds of things happen all the time when you are teaching on your feet. I think it just needs to be pointed out again and again to teachers our.... propensity to be the expert and just plow through our statement when it is questioned, especially when we are conducting a whole class lesson and feeling the pressure to move it all along and get to our goal... and we have to watch out for that, and make ourselves take a few extra seconds to consider what the students are saying and why they are saying it... it's like giving ourselves wait time! But it was a delightful and constructive activity, I wanted to sing too, and a good example for teachers-in-training to study. With the 2nd classroom, it was not as clear to me exactly what the activity was about, but the students were actively engaged with improvising in English, good. In the 3rd classroom I was just impressed with the language level of the students, wow! And again, it was a student centered activity, very nice.

I browsed the first paper that went along with the video, I'll get to the rest next time : ).

Supporter Comment by ddeubel on April 6, 2009 at 10:55pm: Hi Ellen,

Lots of info. you've added! First, I'll say that everything is preliminary and everything will be cut or might stay. Right now just getting info. there and then will do the vetting. But there will be a big distinction between the information here and what people will do for the certifcate. This here is like a catch all, place. Get lots of information. However the certificate will focus on the videos (in the player), the assignments/quizzes I build and 2 articles from each module/category. That's all. The rest is for reference. That will mean redesigning the page to show this - that will come!

So when you say "I think you will feel grateful you have read this, it is the best material I have found in this area, I agree and will leave that for the 2 articles for each module as part of the certificate.

The handbooks should work, download. They are excellent for beginning teachers and chalk full of simple but effective activities. what I also like is that they are good for non native speaking teachers - the language is accessible. The other TESOL course book is for reference only. I think I'll toss it .

I like the videos too and think they can be used effectively in training. They are only 12 min. in length, perfect for getting the essential information across....that's why I'm using them and bringing them back to life.... Although a big too much "esl", the actual classroom footage is great and not stilted and unreal like so much material I've seen.

Thanks for the info. and I'll be keeping everyone updated and getting more feedback on the main forum in the near future. World wasn't built in a day!

David

Supporter Comment by Ellen Pham on April 7, 2009 at 6:34am: Maybe it's not the right time for me to go through it with a fine toothed comb :D I should be trying to add valuable material, but I don't have any : ( ... oh well

Ning is acting so hinky lately... I'm still having trouble downloading the first three teacher's handbooks, but I got the second one to load... after it almost froze my computer! I'll keep working on it. Hey David, do you think the fat videos would fit here? Though not directly about EFL, I can't think of a more important piece for teacher prep!

Comment by Susana Gilmore on December 15, 2009 at 6:58pm: I'm a private English teacher from Argentina. I've been teaching for 15 years , mainly adults. I have found this material really useful and it has helped me refresh many concepts I have already studied during my teacher training course

Supporter Comment by orhan köksal on December 22, 2010 at 10:45pm: hi from Turkey. I am teaching in a high school. I am looking for pen pals for my students who are 15 years old. If you are interested in, please write me.

Supporter Comment by orhan köksal on December 23, 2010 at 6:33pm: thanks...
