Assignment 1-5
1.Which age group would you like to teach the most and why?
●High School Age Development(14-17)1
I want to teach students about subjects like economics, statistics and
business-related courses. The students who age at this period have already learned English for 6-10 years, which makes the verbal-based instructions and lectures easier understood by students. Teachers who would like to give lectures about more abstract concepts which requires students the higher perception and English skills. Students meet requirement with enough English reading and writing skills can take subjects like economics, history and mathematics.
●Describe the characteristics of your 3 most influential teachers
throughout childhood.
1.piano teacher Gao:She always asked me training daily and she was
very serious about the weekly progress I made after the last
course she had given. Keep playing piano for 8 years everyday
influences me a lot. Gao was not a teacher with mild personality,
and she was always demanding in my memory.
2.Host training teacher Wei: He is the most talented teacher I had
ever met. He did not talk concepts much during our one-to-one
course. I recited the poem over and over, and he gave feedback
about every word and tone. We concentrated on the feedback
and made adjustments on one piece of poem again and again.
He told me if I want to get the China Teenager Host Award I just
needed to mimic his version of recite. There was rules for
appreciation of speech sounds, but it was unnecessary to
understand. To learn pronunciation, the only thing you need is
trying your best to mimic.
3.Math teacher Zhou when I was in primary school:I did not perform
pretty well in academics after I transferred to another school
when I was 10. Mrs. Zhou was my math teacher in the new
school,she always encouraged me and thought I was a talented
student on math. I then to start to have a faith in me that I
actually could be excel at studying. This faith rooted in me during
my whole student period——I then really became good at math 1 TESOL for Children Certificate,2018,Page5

and I even chose Finance as my college major.
What are the acronyms for TESOL,SLA,L1 and L2?
●TESOL: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
●SLA: the second language acquisition
●L1: native tongue(first language)
●L2: a new/second language2
2.What is “telegraphic speech”?
According to linguistics and psychology,Telegraphic Speech is the speech during the two-word stage of language acquisition in children. It has the feature of concise, direct and precise.
f9d6bbd0a22d7375a417866fb84ae45c3a35c28c five different type of gross motor skills not mentioned in the text.
Do the same for fine motor skills.
●gross motor: throwing, catching, kicking, squating, waggling arms,
jumping, running, walking
●fine motor: shaking hands, blinking, twisting, nodding, shaking heads,
fingers posture, stamping feet, shrugging shoulder
4.Which type of music and movies would you like to introduce to children of
other cultures? Why?
I would introduce the cartoon movies and folk music to children. The
cartoons are with positive attitude and value, which is good for shaping the value of kids. The folk music are made with simple words and contains the native culture, which is good for children to learn the culture and memory the L2 words.
f9d6bbd0a22d7375a417866fb84ae45c3a35c28c and describe one exercise that can be utilized for learning English
involving Science,Math, and Social Studies separately.( The answer should contain three different exercise.
●Science:running is a good exercise for students to learn the
relationship among distance, time used and the speed. The formula among these three factors could be abstract for students in class, let them run in different speed within the same distance and record the data is a good way to learn(physics).
●Math:table tennis can be utilized for learning English and geometry. If
you want to get score, you need to calculate the relationship between the ball you want to strike and the white ball. Students need to speak out the color and the angle after he/she strikes the ball.

●Social Studies:playing soccer can be really good exercise for social
studies,as this sport has changing rules in different countries and period of history. Moreover, students could learn vocabularies about the verb when playing soccer and interact with team members, which involves in many knowledge about team management and teamwork cooperation.
Assignment 6-8
f9d6bbd0a22d7375a417866fb84ae45c3a35c28c 10 vocabulary words that you think are appropriate for each of the
language development stages. (How would you introduce them to the student for learning?)
●Early Childhood Development (age 5)
Vocabulary: I,me,her,she,he,him(subject)| eat,drink,play,
like,do(verb)
I would
Explain these words use body languages, such as pointing out myself and speak out the word”I”and “me”, then use “like” to form sentences to help kids figure out the relationship between the subjects and objective.
●Elementary Age Development(ages 6-9)
Vocabulary:more verbs——jump,run,sit,stand,study | more easy nouns——homework,food | a little of adjectives——happy,
angry,anxious,color
Verbs:I would teach kids about verbs by movements
Nouns:I would take the items and show them to kids with spelling the letters and pronouncing the vocabularies to them
Adjectives: I would use face expressions to teach kids about the words expressing emotion | the colorful flashcards exchange game to teach them the color-series words.
●Junior High Age Development(ages 10-13)
Vocabulary:adverb——highly,slowly | comparative adjectives:
easier,faster | preposition:at,with,on,in,about | nouns about direction and position: south, west, east, north ; left, right, front, behind
I would teach the kids about direction and position words and relevant
prepositions by the combination of the change of position between me and another students; and I would drop a piece of feather and a ball from the table to show them what do “slower””faster”mean
●High School Age Development (ages 14-17)
Vocabulary:complex adjectives : extraordinary,incredible,dissatisfied | clause introducer:which,where,while | longer words:economics,
administration,execution,crimination

I would teach children in this age by explaining the meaning and
creating sentence including these vocabularies to them.
7.What is “comprehensible input”? What is“comprehensible output”?How are
they similar? How are they different?
●According to the theory generated by Stephen Krashen,
“comprehensible input”is an “intaking”second-language-learning process, in which the learner acquire the language a bit more difficult than he/she could handle at the current level(Krashen,1985 page103).
“Comprehensible Output”is the theory created by Merrill K. Swain and Sharon Lapkin according to the theory of comprehensible input. It means that“we can only understand that which is paralinguistically comprehend,(TESOL Examination Syllabus,2018)”
●The differences between Comprehensible Input(CI) and Comprehensible
Output(CO) is that CI is more about reading and listening, and CO is more about writing and speaking(talking/communicating which engages other S2 speakers in a conversation)
8.Are children of bilingual households at disadvantage?Why or why not?
●I think children of bilingual house holds are at advantages to learn
multiple languages. According to the concept “common underlying proficiency“mentioned by Jim Cummins, two languages learning process involves the same part of the brain, and the different words in two language systems are stored in the same memory area of a kid, which means children living in the bilingual environment could have advantages of learning two different languages within a same time.3
Assignments 9-11
9.What intelligence type are you?Describe your intelligence type and tell how
it can contribute to being an effective teacher?
●I got: Logical-mathematical Intelligence4
The logical-mathematical Intelligence are good at reasoning, recognizing patterns and logically analyze problem s.“These inpiduals tend to think conceptually about numbers,relationships,and patterns”Because people who have advantages in logical-mathematical intelligence are good at problem-solving, thinking about abstract ideas and solving complex computation, he/she would be good at teaching math/business-related courses to high school students. As either math or economics requires teachers the ability of teaching to explain abstract concepts and formula to students with brief and logical language,a teacher with strengths in logical-mathematical intelligence would enable

him/her being an effective teacher.
10.Describe a classroom activity for each of the intelligence types.
●Visual/Spatial Learners
The teacher show the picture and let the students to speak out the words. And the fastest student who recognizes the vocabulary would gain some award.
●Verbal/Linguistic Learners
Ask students preparing words and research the source for a specific topic. Then pide the students in two group to debate with each other in class.
●Mathematical/Logical Learners
Let students to do the ligature game:pide students into two group and give each group a dice,let each group member throws the dice randomly in one round, then ask them to do the arithmetic with speed competition.
●Bodily/Kinesthetic Learners
One student to pick up a piece of paper from the box with the instruction, the rest of the students try their fast to speak out the verb/activity on the tape.
●Interpersonal Learner
Let every two of students to form a little group to practice conversation then let them stand in front in class group one by one, after all of students finish talking, the teacher give the feedback of each group and indicate the best group in which the students have better understanding of sentences and words than the other groups.
●Intrapersonal Learner
Find proper topic for writing an essay in a class,through which students could use dictionary to learn the vocabularies related with the topic and try to enhance their writing speed with understanding of the grammar.
●Musical/Rhythmic
Pick up a song which contains your teaching goal of vocabularies and sentence structures which you want students to learn. Play it in class 3 times. The first time let them enjoy the music without taking notes. The second time let them take notes to help memory. After the third time,
ask them about the meaning,important words and grammar of the song.
●Naturalist
Take the biological materials into class and introduce each one by show students the items. Then pick up the items randomly and ask students to name each items correctly.

●Naturalist
People who are strong in Naturalist intelligence have strengths in understand biological studies, work best through “show and tell”and field trips, and are better at recognizing the power of nature than people in other type of intelligence.
12.How do discipline methods change and evolve for each age group?
●To encourage children in different age period, teachers need to use
differential rules——not too much nor too little,which is necessary for class management and kids. Kids younger requires more clear instructions and more positive feedbacks. The teenagers group evolved less emotional rewards and positive feedback than toddlers, but a good teacher still needs to give them encourage at least once a week.
Moreover, discipline means the atmosphere management in classes. Do make sure use more gross motors when teaching younger kids.
13.What do you think is the most important rule for discipline that is not
mentioned in the above text?
●Violation of principles should be punished. I think appropriate rules of
punishment for kids who violate the principles of teachers should be carefully designed. The punishment should make students feel fair and standable,and motivate them to correct the misbehaviors.
14. Name and describe three ways that you can create a safe and shameless
learning environment for each of the learning methods.
●C all students by name. Make your pronounciation of students’ names
correct.
●P resent all sides of an issue. Treat all views from every students in the class
as worthy of consideration. Support with a student who seems alone in
an opinion. “Play the devil's advocate for a less-popular view.” Asking
students to do some research for a viewpoint which they least agree with, and as a controller of the class you could play a role that advocate for it.
●You could set students’expectations high. Make sure they would try hard
enough to reach your teaching goal,while also providing the resources and support they need to successfully meet those expectation
15.In your own words describe five approaches to TESOL.
●Art/Music Approach:art means more about images/pictures/painting/ solid
geometry here. Both art and music tied together in brain processing by pitch, rhythm and symmetrical phrasing. Students could learn about reading easier with the tool of art, and be more accurate when mimicking the pronunciation when listening and singing a song.
●Direct Based Approach/Communicative: Speak only the target language in a
class without any mother language spoken among students and the teacher.
●TPR: use the gross motor and fine motor effectively and fully to attract and 欢迎下载 6
—keep kids’ attention in one class.
●Natural Approach:make full use of sense organs to engage students
themselves in the learning. The four language skills:listening,speaking,reading and writing,may be practiced in a set of different combined strategies. The comprehensible input helps students absorb a language better.
●Vocabulary Approach: “listen and repeat”,“quick peek technique”and
“what’s missing”can be used in this approach. Students learn the sets of vocabularies and words in direct study or by incidental acquisition.

22.Final Essay(300-400 words)
Variable Teaching Tools Are Necessary For Young Language Learner
The young language learners know few vocabularies, are unable to keep concentration over 20 minutes, and very curious. 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 a class. The tools like dice,sticky ball,graph on the whiteboard,and painting works on papers are all good supportive items help young language learners acquire the vocabularies and shape the perception of 2nd language.
Firstly, the variable tools make it possible to design a great varieties of games in your class. The games needs to be designed with clear and simple instructs,so that kids could understand 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 right manner. The teacher could use 2-3 different games to motivate students to listen and avoid kids wandering. For example,dice,flashcards and sticky ball can be used for games activity in one 30-munite length class.
Secondly,variable teaching tools like model of graph,chart,diagram,could help students understand the connotation of geometry and mathematics. The visual tools are the better way to show logic than oral explanation. The teacher could easily teach young students about what is frequency(how often),what is proportion and what is geometry by show

them the materials when talking.
Finally,teaching tools could be beneficial for natural approach. Some tools used for visual presentation for students to watch,to touch and even to smell, Which stimulate the perception growing as the use of tools activates multiple intellectual sections in brain. The more the sense organs engaged during the language learning process, the better the kids could acquire a second language.
Therefore, the teachers who aim at teaching young language learners should know how to use variable teaching tools to stimulate the performance of kids in language learning process.
