Advantages And Disadvantages Of Total Physical Response In English Language

In this research, I’m going to focusing on the English as a language is being taught in many countries oversea today including Thailand. In fact, you’ll be surprising to know that English is required for many of the students in many countries. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily taught as well as it could be because of heavy teaching load, class sizes and adequate technology. Learning an English today still's has been challenging for many countries and specifically in Thailand. In Thailand, the student often gets too overwhelmed with English and mentally tune out in the classroom because English was their least favorite subjects. On the other hand, the students don’t have a resource at school or they don’t have it enough. Furthermore, many students just go to English class and switch back to Thai as soon as they out of school. English isn't used locally in Thailand. Although, there still a lot students continue care about English language because English has been the most ordinarily utilized language internationally and the language of traffic control and the majority of academic journals. It’s the most common language on the internet and the language that travelers use to communicate with different native speakers.

The assessment evaluated above was used in a 5th grade language arts class where students were assessed on their understanding and application of the eight parts of speech. The students had to know the eight parts of speech to answer every question correctly. The assessment was taken by 17 regular 5th grader students, 2 ESOL and one ESE. Proper accommodation was given for ESOL students and ESE student, such as extended time to complete the test. From the 20 students taking the assessment, 9 students were girls and 11 students were boys. The assessment has a high validity, for the questions are intended for students to identify the proper part of speech in each sentence.

In the proposed study I will only investigate the difficulties faced by Gujarati medium students at Tertiary level and will also check their four skills and their abilities to cop up with English Language. We would conduct different classroom activities, some bridge course and questionnaire. And on that basis we would conduct a survey regarding our research area. Our research will help teachers, students and language using people.

Language is the life and soul of communication. Communication should be the goal set to achieve main objectives of English language teaching. To face the competition in the job market, it’s essential that every student should be trained to acquire the basic level of competence in the usage of English language in his personal and professional life. Innovative and effective approaches are employed by the English language teachers and trainers. One method that has gained extensive acceptance and mobility is TBL or Task Based Learning. It is more student-oriented and practical approach compared to Text-Based Learning.

To conclude, in relation with the findings made and my own experience on my practicum in a public school, I can realize that my beliefs were similar to the students who participate in the research. Nevertheless, the only difference is that I do not agree with the memorization of the rules instead, with the internalization by connections with their mother tongue. Also, I believe that in our practicum, we tend to copy the strategies that our mentor teachers use, which are the mechanic activities, paper sheets or drills, and so forth, letting our belief that English is acquired through

TPR trains English Learner (EL) college students. It will require an instant reaction by the learner. Students break the poor practice of over-analyzing language as well as become much more comfortable with studying under the framework of the material. TPR do not require a verbal response from EL students. While efficiently implemented, EL students usually understand what is going on during TPR training. This results in an enhanced confidence and shrinking of the affective filter. The standards of TPR consist of: a) setting up a script - it is important not to modify the language midway by means of the lesson; b) scaffold mastering - TPR coaching needs to be viewed as an progression, with different language being

Therefore, from the behaviourist approach, language acquisition can be seen as a stimulus-response process. Children learn language by immitation and analogy. The roles of imitation, repetition, reinforcement, and motivation are essential in learning the language. The First Language Acquisition is thus the result of nature which based on practicing.

The teaching of a productive skill, like speaking, is a vital part of any language education. Approaches to teach speaking have been changed noticeably during the time. The behaviorist approach, which is a traditional way of teaching, includes drilling, memorizing, answering and not questioning, checking and not correcting, individual learning, teachers are the sources and producers of knowledge, students are the recipients, and leaving no place for much thinking and understanding [1]. The Presentation, Practice, Production (PPP) is an approach based on behaviorist teaching [2, 3]. The PPP approach focused on accurate use of the grammatical forms taught at the Presentation stage. But very few students who finished their English courses were able to use their English to communicate adequately with others.

To answer the question of the current study, the teachers were requested to name the criteria that they cared about as the main features of English speaking competence for assessment goals.

Rationale: this activity will help students practice spelling, vocabulary, grammar and text formation which differ quite a lot from speaking.

Students at all levels not only take the initiative to study the language, but also practice it often. Teachers inspire and guide learners to advance their level of proficiency in English.

First, the student’s attitude is determined because it enables the assessment of the effectiveness of the method used for teaching students about the English language (The National Commission

There are a lot of methods in language learning that have been practical in our country’s education system such as Natural Approach, The Silent Way, Cognitive Code Learning and many more. This assignment require us to do a comparison between Total Physical Response and Natural Approach. Total Physical Response is mainly based on the coordination of language and physical movement while Natural Approach emphasises communication and places decrease importance on conscious grammar study and explicit correction of student errors. We will have to do the similarities and differences, strength and weaknesses and the implementations between these two methods.

This Needs Analysis is conducted to get background information about the students, their English language skills, what they do using their English and what they want to learn. These information will help the teacher in appropriately addressing what every student need in order for them to achieve their goals in learning the target language. It was made simple and clear so it would be easy for lower-level students to understand with a little help if needed. Results of this Needs Analysis will additionally help the teacher in making a curriculum that interests the students with topics they want to learn about.

Technology brought many changes in every aspect of one’s life in 21st century. It showed its impact in both English languages learning and teaching.
