Each of you are required to create a 'graphical representation of something you have learned' in any of your TEFL courses. After creating your poster, you will need to participate in our public TEFL Poster Session on June 14th from 2pm to 4pm in room UXB 107. Participation means that you will need to stand by your poster and be ready to give short 3-5 minute explanations of what your poster topic is and why it was compelling for you. Your audience will be: TEFL teachers, ESL teachers, UC Irvine administrative staff, ESL students, professional program students and UC Irvine students. Please pick up a blank poster board at Roger's office from this week on. Should you need some help determining what you want to focus on then please make an appointment with Roger. Roger also has samples of posters already completed by TEFL students from previous programs. You may also want to view the 'Poster Session Design' powerpoint presentation online.

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.
