Native-speaker teachers and non-native speaker teachers

In some language lesson, there is a different way when the students meet their teacher from native and non-native speakers. Although the division of these teachers are same, but there are some distinctives between them. For many years an opposition has been created between native speaker teachers of english and non-native speaker teachers.

Differences among native-speaker teachers and non-native speaker teachers in language teaching are instead the teacher’s experience. Non-native speaker teacher have often the same experience or learning english as their students are now does. This gives non-native speaker teacher an understanding of what their students are going through. Meanwhile, the native speaker teachers need to explain teaching program to students  like generally because english language is their own ability that cannot understanding easily. In this case, non-native-speaker teachers have many advantages than native speaker teachers have. When non-native speaker teachers teach a group of students who speak their own native language, they able to maximise the benefit of first language and second language. On the other hand, a native speaker teachers are inability to communicate effectively with student in first language. Native speaker teachers often have the advantage of linguistic confidence with their language in the classroom which non-native speaker teachers sometimes lack for it.

Recently, both native speaker teachers and non-native speakers have the commonly things. They considerable about teaching style. The reason is they should teach a language that just have same technique and planning. They would teach basic of the principle of a teacher, this include all principle. Next, they have the same division as a teacher which is make their students good in language that they teach. It might be a goal for the teacher and the student, absolutly.

To conclude, it would have been impossible to find a single non-native speaker teacher working in a language school, so that the students wouldn’t find the opposition in the class.

English class with games.

Games make us laugh. We all like to laugh. Pleasure is very motivating. Laughter makes us more awake and relaxed – and not only I say so, so does the Department of Cognitive Psychology, University College, London.
Laughter raises blood pressure just long enough to increase oxygen and blood supply to tissues. It alters the breathing cycle so that more oxygen is inhaled and carbon dioxide exhaled. Muscles throughout the body tense and relax during laughter in exactly the same way as with stress reduction techniques such as yoga.

• If we find something funny, it is often memorable as it strikes a resonant chord within us.
  
• Many games are competitive and while I do not like the idea of making children feel like failures when they do not win, team games promote co-operation and if teams are regularly mixed up, everyone’s a winner.
  
• Some games rather than being amusing, encourage us to use our knowledge of the world around us rather than linguistic knowledge, which brings the world into our classroom.
  
• If lessons are long or daily we need to have plenty of variety, while still focussing on English language development – games provide variety.
  
• Games can be used as a ‘carrot’ with less motivated students. The promise of a game at the end of class may encourage them to complete less inspiring activities well.

There’s a game there
Many activities can be made into games by making them competitive. For example course books usually have grammar exercises. I get my students to work on these in ‘teams’. The teams with most right get a point and we collect points on the board during a lesson, so that points from later games and exercises can be added. The team with the most points at the end is the winner. I rarely give prizes (teachers are not rich!) but the joy of winning is enough. Again I must stress that I mix up teams form one lesson to the next so that the same students are not always the winners!
