Variable teaching tools in TESOLAfter two months’ learning about TESOL, I have learned a great deal which is very helpful to my teaching. Here I am going to share several ideas that I have learned.
Variable teaching tools are necessary for young language learners. The young language learners know few vocabularies and are very curious but unable to keep concentration over 20 minutes. Based on these，the teachers who aim at teaching kids in kindergartens，primary schools and young-kid training centers should use variable tools supporting the teaching process in class. The tools like dice，sticky ball，graph on the whiteboard and painting works on papers are all good supportive items to help young language learners acquire the vocabulary and shape the perception of 2nd language. Firstly, the variable tools make it possible to design a great varieties of games in our class. The games need to be designed with clear and simple instructions，so that kids can understand how to play. In the game，kids would be willing to follow a teacher so he/she could get the bonus if he/she behave in a good manner. The teacher could use 2-3 different games to motivate students to concentrate and avoid kids wandering. For example，flashcards and sticky ball can be used for games activity in one 30-minute length class. Secondly，variable teaching tools like graphical models，charts，diagrams can help students understand the connotations of geometry and mathematics. The visual tools are the better way to show logic than oral explanation. The teacher can easily teach young students about what is frequency(how often), what is proportion and what is geometry by showing them relevant materials. Finally,teaching tools can contribute to the TESOL natural approach. Some tools used for presentation allow students to watch, touch even smell, which stimulates the growth of perception as the use of tools activates multiple intellectual sections of the brain. The more the sensory organs are engaged in the language learning process, the better children will be able to master a second language.
Therefore, teachers aiming to teach young language learners should know how to use variable teaching tools to stimulate children’s performance in language learning process. I will combine the TESOL theories and the methods I have learned to make my classes more creative. Based on this, I will explore my knowledge in the field of teaching English to children and try to better understand the psychology of my students, which will definitely improve and refine my teaching techniques.
