Course introduction Global English
On January 31,2017.
I felt excited because today, I was representative from my group to present our conclusion about the between ESL and EFL and I was not well for speaking English but I try to listen and practice more. Some day, I will be a good speaker.
Today, I studied seminar in English Language Teaching with Asst. Prof. Dr.Usa Noytim. Last week, teacher assigned each group discussed with topic about The differences between English as a second language and English as a foreign language and before present in front of the class, teacher gives students to discuss in your group and prepare your presentation. In my group, we discuss that " EFL or English as a foreign language typically take place in a foreign country, usually with students from the same country. In contrast, ESL or English as a second language classes takes place in an English-speaking country, with students from all different backgrounds.ESL students are living in an English speaking country, they will definitely have a communicative need for learning English. EFL students is far more likely to be learning the learning the language for academic purpose and are usually more receptive to learning reading and writing and less concerned with speaking and listening. The teacher might be native or non-native speaker of English. ESL learn faster than people who take EFL. And ESL are st least able to read and write a little bit of English and EFL know neither how to write nor how to read in English. ESL situation, the learner learns English inside the classroom but they leave the classroom,they continuous speak their own language. Teaching ESL vs. EFL: for the English teacher, the differences between EFL and ESL may require different lesson plans, different approaches and different topics.And the last, ESL vs. EFL student motivation: for as ESL students have a higher motivation to learn English because English is relevant to their daily lives. Students in ESL wanted to learn English for many reasons such as communicate with people, all the get a better job. and EFL, they have a lower motivation because English is not a part of their daily lives, they learn for a test or it is compulsory. After that teacher talked about 21st century learning Pedagogical Perspectives, there are 7 main topics and article about Thai English proficiency, now 3rd worst in Asia.
I think this lesson is easy because teacher assigned to find this information or contents before and after that I discuss and share idea to other so I have chance and got knowledge more than I have.
This lesson is difficultly because these information has some vocabulary are difficult for me.
Although this lesson is difficult,but I tried to read more and find keywords in each topic and highlight them. It helps to understand more and I asked my friend about some information which I didn't understand.
