ELT TEACHERS JARGON

The ELT TEACHERS JARGON is like a dictionary that has the technical vocabulary. This vocabulary is important for a professional teacher because haas the basic worlds teacher should know about pedagogy and didacticas in language teaching.

The most useful words in my role as an english teacher are:


*COGNATE: a word in a second language is very similar (in spelling, meaning,..)to the equivalent word in the other language.

*EMERGENCY ACTIVITIES: Activities (always ready to develop) that can be developed if we have time left over, at the end of a session, or if an activity doesn't work quite well.

*FALSE COGNATE: A word in a second language that is quite colse to its equivalent in the mother language but only in terms of its spelling, not in meaning.

*FLUENCY: The use of the language freely to express our own ideas.

* HANDOUT: Material to be distributed among the puplis.

*OUT-OF-CLASS ACTIVITIES: Activities that are done outside the class (clubs, libraries)

*OUT OF CLASS LEARNING: The learning hat is produced not inside the class but outdoors (tv, internet, radio).

*REALIA: Any kind of material from english-speaking country we can bring to class. For example: Photos, posters, books, souvenirs, postcards, flashcards.

*SILENT WAY: It's the method to tecah languages; here the teacher doesn't speak and uses colours to explain.

*WARM UP: An activity you do at the beginning of the class.

*WORKSHEET: A piece of paper you make an activity on.
