Interlanguage and Teacher Frustration

Without a doubt you are great at instructing yet everyone ought to comprehend that If learning English is muddled so do educating. One of the Dissertation Help UK of Birmingham said in his magazine that educating is the most confused calling among numerous callings.

Undoubtedly you are good at teaching but everybody should understand that If learning English is complicated so do teaching. One of the Dissertation Writers of Birmingham said in his magazine that teaching is the most complicated profession among many professions.

Learning English is a difficult deal since the language is very poor by means of linguistic wealth. It is widely learnt and spoken due to the barbaric capitalist states - Dissertation King are enslaving the poor states.

I can't agree with you more...I'm not an english language expert, but I am an english language teacher in primary school (age 6-10)...My language has an alphabet where is one sign for one vowel, so it is little bit harder to understand why is same letter read differently in two different english words... well, it is just one of the things making learning harder for my little pupils.. I have also experienced some of those difficulties myself...and the biggest one is the fact that I don't have with wnom to talk to and improve my own talking english skills...  would you like to talk to me, teacher mitchelk?

It seem very professinal that many would like to learn from you. Would you mind being helpful to me and many other people in my sitation?

Thanks in advance.

Eager to be your student!!!

I absolutely agree with you and also Stitch.

In my opinion, the process of
learning English as a second language,
espcially in Thailand,
is totally contrast with our natural.

In our mother-tongue language,
we first learn by imitating our parents' voice
without even knowing its meaning.
Then we remember more words
and the usage of language.
which may take time for 3-4 years.

At this step, you already know
how to handle language to a certain level
as well as correct pronunciation of words
without knowing any single alphabets!

After that, we then start to write and read.
In education system, we study
more words and complicated ideas.
Reading novels and literatures also help us broaden
our view of the world through language.
Besides, being and hanging out with friends
play an important role for you
to learn or even make your own langauge.

But what's going on with most ESL students?
First, they are forced to write A B C...
then remember words, by head not by heart.
I mean we have to recite:
A ant, B bird, C cat, D dog, E elephant,...
(this is the way we do it in Thailand)
without any feeling about it.
We do it as if we were robots
with perfectly wrong pronunciation.

Then here we are at the part of
a bitter pill to swallow.
Yes, it's GRAMMAR.
Did you know how many
rules about articles we have to remember?
It's 21, twenty-one rules.
You use "the" when you refer
to something ...bla bla bla.....
And TENSE.... hahaha. I'm sure that
most ESL students couldn't agree more with me.

That's all for studying English
in formal education system.
If you really want to commucicate with foreigners,
you will have take lots of
listening and speaking classes and so on.

Then ten years has gone by and Bang!
You still cannot use English with confidence.
Most Thais regard westerners as monsters.
It'd be better to stay away from them... The end.

Here the processes of learning language:

mother-tounge language:
--speaking-->listening-->reading-->writing--

English as a second language--:
--writing-->reading-->listening-->speaking--

It's completely reversed!

I think that's already too much for your blog today.
Anyway, I'd be my pleasure
to share more on this topic with you later.

Hi! Mitchelk!

It will be a sad news if a student just studies for the test.

Few students will keep the good habit of reviewing and previewing.

So, no doubt, after the test, most students forget what they've learned.

And I like this article.

Thanks for informing this news to me! Mitchelk!

Happy Mittwoch!

Hello, mitchelk. I'm glad to make friend with u

I wana practise my english. So i need your help. my msn is JESSEY-13@hotmail.com  If you were free, pls add me.

I'm not a teacher, but I'm a "experienced" ESL student.

I think students share similar frustration as their teachers. As a Chinese as L1 speaker, there was no existence of the "Verb Tense" concept in my head. It was simply the most frustrating thing to learn (and I still make mistakes and get frustrated with it at times after living in the U.S. for many years), also because it is in every English sentence. Knowing the rules and passing the tests are definitely not enough.

This is why I think people should use English, baby! I deeply believe that we learn language through using it. What we learned in classes was valuable to establish a framework, but the languages really comes alive when they are used. English, baby! offers a fun and encouraging environment for students to use what they learned in class in real life. I think it helps the development of students' Interlanguage toward English.

hi i want to chat with you  on MSN if don't mind
