TYLP #1 (Teaching Young Learners Post Number 1)

You need to post your answer on your own posterous page. You also need to email me the URL of your posterous website. You have one week to complete this assignment. The due date is always 12 'o clock noon, on the following Tuesday after the assignment was given. For example, your TYLP#1 is due on Tuesday, April 17th, at 12 pm.


1. Please share and summarize the earliest English language learning experience/s you can remember. Talk about what you felt at the time. Share about what your teacher/s were like. Make sure you elaborate. Don't just write that the teacher was motivational. Think and write about WHY the teacher was motivational or not. Explain WHY you felt the way you did. This will point to deeper insights to teaching and help inform your own teaching in the future.

OR

2. Based on our first lecture, and your own opinions, share about what do you think is important for teaching children a language. Don't just say that you need to be fun, or interesting or motivational. Elaborate on WHY or HOW you would be fun, interesting or motivational. One paragraph would be sufficient.
