Hmm... yes, to all. I guess perhaps the question could be instead: Do teachers believe themselves to be credible regarding the process of instructing students...
Dear all, I need some help... Trying to do my DELTA, looking for something out of the ordinary to help inspire teens and adults to write better narrative ...
I don't see the value in teachers asking themselves whether or not they are credible. It seems to me that the people who are best fit to judge are their...
I do see the value in asking oneself all types of questions. This is very important to be able to question oneself. Teaching is interacting, interacting and...

Marianne Very tasty. That's interesting. Especially the two-way direction of credibility you mention. At some point, especially when we start thinking about ...
Paul You may or may not go for this. 1. On 12 pieces of A4 (one for each student) put the opening sentence to a story. Typical FCE stuff. Make them all...
Marianne, That's the trouble with the internet, one quick click and then "oh crap did I really write that?!" Yikes! Happens to me all the time! ;-)Karenne ......
Hi Chris, Thanks for that, it all sounds good to me. If there's ever anything I can help you with, just ask. BW Paul ________________________________ From:...
Karenne, For what it is worth I'd think that it is not essential that foreign language teachers have learned a language, though it is clearly a great ...
HEY Paul this activity is *great* !! I find it great because it's not only about writing, but also, in the *same* class, discussing, agreeing to critiria,...
Yes Karenne ! and this time it was all the more enfuriating as the post was about just this : how can you teach a language if you haven't successfully learnt...
I agree about the qualities mentioned by Dennis but I don't agree about putting one higher that another. They are all great essential qualities to me, they all...
Chris, First I would like to say that I thanked Paul for an activity (the writing/discussing /reformulating activity) you created yourself! my mistake! ...
Marianne, Paul, pleased you chaps liked that. Can't really claim credit for that though - sort of gleaned it from the Ih Barcelona teacher trainer crew (Neil,...
Hi all, Diarmuid said about students being the only people who can decide if the teacher is credible! I just can't agree with this. Take this situation, for...
If I'm not mistaken, Scott, in his book Teaching Vocabulary, writes something along the lines of: flash cards are an effective technique for learning...
"deference to our kiwi progenitor"!! hey Scott is not a Guru, there is no need to quote him like the bible, and I'm sure he would accept that some of us agree...
We may be talking about different things. Flashcards I take to be visual aids (either words or pictures) that you "flash" to students in class. The word card...
Scott quotes Nation on how to learn vocabulary: "d.. Use first language translations (Research shows... that learning is generally better if the meaning is...
I second that emotion! I love this story-writing activity; in fact, I may use it this Saturday with my class of 8 upper-beginner level students at a local...

Oh well........ But Nation does assume mono lingual classes, doesn't he? You'd need big cards and a lot of expertise if you had learners from 7 nationalities...
