CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Teaching reading to English Language Leaners requires some strategies and preparations on the part of teachers, which includes the preparation of the lesson plan. However, an effective lesson plan teaching reading to English Second Language (ESL) students or English Foreign Language (EFL) students requires having a structure (Teaching Reading to ESL Students to Teaching ESL to Adult, NY).

Teaching English as a Second Language to an Elementary School Student’s Name: Institution: Instructors name: Date: Introduction According to Celce-Mursia (2001), teaching English to people who speak other languages (TESOL) refers to a learning process by which people whose native language is not English are taught how to read, write, understand and successfully communicate in English.

well-designed plan will include strategies for all learning styles, assessing prior knowledge, and an environment that is safe and promotes learning. Teachers have the knowledge to research and apply what is need for successful student accomplishments by instructional strategies, assessment plans, standards/objectives to be mastered, learning outcomes, data from test tallies, self-evaluation or reflection on the day to day practices, the code of ethics, and administration roles to make responsible decisions

3 EXPLAIN HOW THEORIES OF DEVELOPMENT AND FRAMEWORKS TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCE CURRENT PRACTICE. Theories of development offer insights into the forces guiding childhood growth and what can affect them. Each offers insight but each has limitations, which is why developmental scientists use more than one theory to guide their thinking about the growth of children. Current practice is based on many years of knowledge and experience. This helps us to understand children learning, development

A Problem-Based Approach to Teaching about Pollution Science is a very important subject for students to study in middle school. It is “More than a body of knowledge or a set of answers, science is a way of thinking about the world” (Beamon 20). Science forces students to think critically about ethical issues, such as pollution.

The ways in

I chose to teach in a first grade class room for my self-observation because I have previously taught in first grade and thought that I would be familiar with the age group. Originally, I anticipated being able to use the curriculum with which I was also familiar. However, I ended up writing my own lesson plan outside of the given curriculum. This action would not be allowed on a normal basis at my school, but was allowed for a special occasion. I plan to organize this paper in a manner following

interpret or solve problems. Students have difficulty in analyzing real-world scenarios by using different problem-solving approaches. The lack of adopted curriculum also means that most, if not all, teachers are supplementing both materials and instructional routines. These students need to pass the state-mandated Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) which requires completion of a problem-solving performance task. Students need to know which operation(s) to use (addition, subtraction, multiplication

textbooks to play the role of the syllabus, thus teachers are expected to teach based on it accordingly. In the same line, Ball and Gower (2011) mentioned that within this context of use, textbooks become the tools to maintain control over the instructional process, usually by the government or head of the institutions. They believe that this could lead to teacher’ over-dependence to the textbooks and the downfall in their creativity that is crucial to promote students’ engagement with the learning
