Implementing effective teaching techniques in an English medium school

Abstract

This internship report is the outcome of a 12-week teaching experience at Universal Tutorial, an English-medium school. The report is structured into five chapters. To begin with, in Chapter 1, I give an overview of my experience, the environment of the institution, and my goals for the internship. The literature review in Chapter 2 covers classroom management strategies, such as monitoring, balancing between teacher talk time and student talk time, increasing student involvement, English language teaching (ELT) approaches, highlighting traditional and modern techniques such as Task-Based Learning (TBL), Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), and the Grammar Translation Method (GTM). Also, the use of teaching materials like whiteboards and authentic resources is covered in the last section. Moreover, Chapter 3 details the online classroom observation, and implementation of various teaching techniques, including lesson planning, monitoring, paper checking, feedback giving, and interacting with special needs children. Furthermore, Chapter 4 proposes to develop the use of technology in the classroom and modify the methods of instruction delivered. Finally, Chapter 5 reflects on how this experience bridged the gap between theory and practice for my future teaching career. The report concludes with a list of references applied throughout the internship.
