Závery z diskusie

Zhoda

  • Weby www.englishpage.com a http://www.sitesforteachers.com/index.html sú v diskusii uvádzané ako užitočné zdroje na gramatiku a cvičenia.
  • Počúvanie anglických pesničiek a rýmovačiek (English lullabies, Ten Green Bottles) a sledovanie detských programov v angličtine (Thomas the Tank Engine) sú praktické metódy na zvyknutie dieťaťa na jazyk.


Sporné názory

  • Niektorí diskutéri tvrdia, že prepínanie jazykov môže dieťa zmiasť; iní tvrdia, že systém "one parent–one language" alebo používanie jazyka v konkrétnych situáciách dieťaťu pomáha naučiť sa, kedy ktorý jazyk používať.


Otvorené otázky

  • Koľko hodinovej expozície angličtine denne potrebujú malé deti, aby dosiahli funkčnú úroveň plynulosti?
  • Aká je optimálna kombinácia samoučenia (CD/MP3, piesne, filmy) a formálnych kurzov alebo konverzačných hodín pre dospelých študentov, aby videli rýchle zlepšenie?

Hi! Does this topic still exist??? 😲 I've forgotten about it. But anyway, hallo everybody!
Etuska, I've read you teach teenagers. Me too. You are brave that you attempt to play games with them. Preparing them for "maturita" is very hard itself. I don't have time to play games. I'm glad if they pick up some grammar and they can say a couple of meaningful sentences. 😅

Hi girls,
Welcome Mari.m-where do you study?Do you enjoz your studies?What about your future?Do you want to teach,or rather go abroad after finishing Uni?

Sharlotta-I used to do a lot of grammar exercises with them,but now after written part of school leaving exams,we have more time for speaking as this will be oral exam 🙂 So I´m happy that they can do role-plays,describe pictures and talk more.

...when talking about games,it depends how much time you have.It is easier to play games with the bigginers,as they don´t have to take exams at the end of their studies yet.

Where do you teach and for how many years?

My dream is to have a language school 🙂

Hi there... My name is Jana 😉 I didn´t have any idea what´s this topic about, but I´m surprised...it´s cool just
to talk in english 😉
Maybe I´m crazy, because I´m talking everyday in english...and in my free time now again 😀 😝

How are you anyway? 😉

I've been teaching for 5 years. I teach at private school and some students are...They are not able to understand even the difference between present simple and continuous. The problem is that they are not interested in their own grades and school leaving examination. But there are also skillful students and I like teaching them. I like teaching students who want to learn.

My dream was also to have a language school but the big competition disappointed me. 😒

hi girls, what a crazy day today 😔 totally tired... tomorrow? the same but it looks like I´ll see the maternal clinic I would like to give a birth at - in Topolcany. We are going to take a look at one car we would like to buy and it´s not far from TO so we´ve decided to visit both places 🙂
That means - no school tomorrow 😀 and I´d also love to go swimming - what I couldn´t today as we had a busy day...

Hi girls, I have not been here for a while. How would you translate: "v detstve a v dospelosti". I mean is "in childhood and in adulthood" correct?

Hi everybody!
Pezincanka-can be 😉
I´ve just came from work.I was also shopping a bit with my mum and now I´m waiting for my darling to come from aa kindergarten/nursery/with our daughter.
He is writing his diploma thesis,so you can imagine the mess we have everywhere 😠 😝 😀

hi again after a day - yesterday we had a very busy day so as we arrived home at about 11:00 pm and I was pretty tired - I didn´t check it here at all, just now...

But - I saw the maternity clinic where I would like to give birth to our first child 🙂 I was amazed - it was very nice and modern, the tube I´d like to give birth in looks great so I am satisfied 🙂
The only "little problem" is the distance - it´s 77 km far from our home... But we made it in an hour so let´s hope it´ll be all right 😀 😝
