      Learning to teach
      Submitted on 18 August, 2008 - 15:00

      Hi Kamal,

      I recommend these articles:


      http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/articles/a-task-based-approach


      http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/articles/criteria-identifying-tasks-tbl 

      Task Based Learning is a development of the research/theory that learning is most effective in a meaningful context.

      Ofcourse, I'm neither highly successful, nor expert, but wish you all the best,

      Teaching English-Approaches and Methods
      Submitted on 4 March, 2009 - 17:23

      hi!

      its realy nice to share on approaches used in teaching English.I m a pakistani and have wide range of teaching experience.Here in pakistan english is taught as a compulsory subject from grade vi and at college level,the situation varies.at undergrad level students are taught english literature and grammar.in professional colleges,they are taught english a communicative language.

      currently the significance of english has been increased manifold.in the context where english is taught as compulsory subject,there is the problem of large classes;hence collaborative teaching method is more effective.group work and group dynamics give you better feed back.

      regards
