TESOL EDUCATION EXCELLENCE

TESOL INSTRUCTOR

ABC SCHOOL, Niigata, Japan, 20xx to Present

Designed one of school’s most popular classes, English Presentation, to let students use English in their own way by discussing and studying things that interested them. Class has been highly praised by both students and teachers.

• Unit 1: Students instructed to compile a list of items they would like to research, study, and present in English to the class. Students then write a paper, present the information to the class as a lesson and develop five questions pertaining to the information while the class, as a group, composes five more. Final list of questions become the test for the presentation.
• Unit 2:  Students assigned to watch a movie about high school life and write presentations/ lead discussions about which character they liked and why. Discussions are held about trials, tribulations, and lessons to be learned from the movie to demonstrate how issues are present in Japanese schools as well.
• Unit 3: Students are given just a few minutes to read a short story in English before they reiterate the story to the class. The students listening to the story being read are then asked questions to demonstrate  comprehension. Students are also assigned classic fables and  discuss the moral of the story.
• Unit 4:  Students are taught how to use the Internet in English and get to communicate with American students. Partnered with a colleague in the United States to establish a website that allowed Japanese and English students to effectively communicate.
