5 Deveoping your Engish 1 Improving your Engish 1 Improving your Engish Good teachers are continuousy trying to improve their Engish. They find that this benefits them in many different ways. Read what these teachers say: Now think about how improving your Engish coud hep you. Write your thoughts in the empty speech bubbes beow or in your notebook. If you can, compare your thoughts to those of a coeague. 5 of 11 Wednesday 27 May 2015
6 Deveoping your Engish 1 Improving your Engish Whatever your thoughts, improving Engish can hep you in your persona and professiona ife, and can benefit your teaching and your students too. Case Study 1: Mrs Chakrakodi wants to improve her Engish and sets up an Engish cub Mrs Chakrakodi teaches Engish at a rura government secondary schoo. As a student, she enjoyed Engish and did we in exams. Now she reads and writes Engish confidenty but is ess confident with speaking and istening to Engish. She wants to deveop these skis, but has found it difficut because she does not ive and work in an Engish-speaking environment. In a recent training session at our oca DIET, I asked our trainer about how we secondary Engish teachers coud improve our Engish. Our trainer tod us about a radio show [TeachingEngish, 2012]. In it, teachers taked about what they did to improve their Engish skis. One of them started an Engish cub in order to practise speaking and istening. Our trainer from the DIET thought that starting an Engish cub was a very good idea, and we did too. She organised for teachers from neighbouring schoos to get together once a week to tak ony in Engish about whatever subject we ike, or even about an artice or something that everyone has read in advance. The idea appeaed to me as I ive in a rura area where it is difficut to practise Engish. I aways thought that I needed to practise speaking Engish with peope who spoke it fuenty, but after istening to the show, I reaised that I just needed to practise and that there were other teachers in the same position as me. So I started to go to this group reguary for an hour each week. The first time we met, I fet a itte embarrassed about speaking Engish, and I was worried that I woud make mistakes. But as we have continued, I have become more confident, and I have earned not to worry about mistakes. What is important is that we a practise speaking and istening to each other, of course! At first we tried to prepare topics to tak about, but we found that we didn t have much time for this. But we reaised that we needed something to speak about, so now we take it in turns to choose a topic. Last week, for exampe, we taked about food. We swapped recipes, and taked about good and bad dishes that we had eaten. It was fun, and I got some good ideas for cooking too! 6 of 11 Wednesday 27 May 2015
7 Deveoping your Engish 1 Improving your Engish Sometimes I can t go to the cub because I am just too busy and that s true for a of us. But we decided that the cub woud take pace no matter how many peope are there. It s heped me to become more confident at speaking Engish, and that means I am more confident in my casses too. Activity 1: Improve your own Engish In Case Study 1, Mrs Chakrakodi identified that she is ess confident at speaking and istening to Engish, which is why she started going to the Engish cub. Now read Tabe 1, which is something she fied in to describe her Engish skis. Tabe 1 Mrs Chakrakodi describes her Engish skis. Type of ski My Engish skis What I can do to improve Reading Engish Writing Engish Listening to Engish Speaking Engish I can read and understand most Engish texts. I read Engish newspapers when I can. Sometimes I don t know the vocabuary. I can write texts quite accuratey. I don t have many opportunities to isten to Engish. I don t have many opportunities to speak in Engish. Continue to read texts as much as possibe. Use a dictionary to ook up words. Right now I wi not work on writing. I prefer to spend my time deveoping my speaking skis. Listen to the news in Engish once a week, on TV or the radio. Go to Engish cub once a week. Go to Engish cub once a week and speak as much as I can during the session. Now compete the tabe for yoursef, using Tabe 2 or a copy. First, make some notes about your abiities and the things you aready do in Engish. Your notes might be simiar to the teacher of Case Study 1, or your case might be very different. Identify any areas where you coud improve your Engish. Make some notes about what you think you coud do that woud hep you improve. If you can, discuss these ideas with a coeague. Tabe 2 Engish skis tempate.

8 Deveoping your Engish 2 Deveoping speaking and istening skis 2 Deveoping speaking and istening skis Many teachers even at secondary eve fee ess confident about their speaking and istening skis than they do about their reading or writing. Here are some occasions when an Engish teacher might speak or isten to Engish. Do you use Engish for any of these? Tick the ones that appy to you. If there are some occasions that are not isted, add them to the ist. taking to students in the cassroom taking to coeagues taking to visitors to your home or schoo istening to a radio show istening to an expert at a seminar or conference istening to or watching a discussion about education istening to music watching a movie or TV programme. There may be times when you have to isten to or speak in Engish, and there may be others when you choose to, for enjoyment or for information. It isn t reay important what you isten to, or who you speak with. The more you practise istening to and speaking Engish, the better you wi be at these anguage skis. Case Study 2: Mr Meganathan improves his istening skis by istening to the radio in Engish Mr Meganathan is an Engish teacher at a secondary government schoo and has been teaching for 11 years. He is quite confident with Engish, but recenty had an experience that made him decide to improve his istening skis. A few months ago, a visitor from New York came to our schoo. As the teacher of anguages, I was asked to greet the visitor and accompany him during his visit. The students behaved we, and the visit went we. However, I knew that I had some probems understanding the visitor. At first, it was quite difficut to understand his accent, and I had to ask him to repeat what he was saying quite a few times. Over the course of the visit I understood him better, but there were sti some times when I wasn t sure what he was saying, and I fet a itte embarrassed. I was peased to meet the visitor, but it made me reaise that I had perhaps become a itte azy, and had stopped using my Engish apart from in the cassroom. I wanted to be abe to understand future visitors to the schoo something that was ikey to happen again as my schoo was invoved in an internationa project. I watch the news every day on TV, and thought that I coud sometimes watch it in Engish. Now I watch it a coupe of times a week, and it s not too difficut as I aready foow news stories so I know something about what s going on. And I m getting used to istening to rea Engish. Often there are peope from different countries speaking Engish. That means I am getting some practice in istening to different accents. That s one thing that is difficut where I ive. I ve tod my students about the radio stations too, and have suggested that they isten to them if they can. 8 of 11 Wednesday 27 May 2015
9 Deveoping your Engish 2 Deveoping speaking and istening skis Activity 2: Improve your speaking and istening skis Tabe 3 ists some ways that you can improve your speaking and istening skis in Engish. Read each one and think about the questions. Tabe 3 Improving your speaking and istening stis in Engish. Activity Listening to the radio in Engish Watching fims or TV programmes in Engish Listening to music in Engish Listening to the radio or recordings on the internet Recording speakers of Engish (e.g. on a mobie phone) Setting up an Engish cub with coeagues Ways of improving your skis Do you get any Engish radio stations? If you do, which ones? Which programmes does the station have? Are these programmes interesting for you? Do you have cabe TV? Do you get Engish news channes, movies, cartoons or other channes? If you do, which ones do you ike to watch? Do you isten to Engish music on your mobie phone, radio or TV? If you do, how many songs do you isten to each week? Do you have access to the internet? If you do, find recordings that you are interested in. See Resource 1 for some ideas. Do you know anyone who speaks Engish we? This coud be someone from your pace, another town or city, or even a foreign country. If so, can you record some of their speech to isten to and use as a mode? Are teachers in neighbouring schoos interested in setting up an Engish cub? If so, how often and where wi you meet? What wi you tak about? Now make a pan for improving your speaking and istening skis. Set yoursef a target. Which of the activities isted above wi you do? How often wi you do each one? When wi you do this activity? Wi you do this with another teacher? 9 of 11 Wednesday 27 May 2015
10 Deveoping your Engish 3 Deveoping reading and writing skis Improving your speaking and istening skis wi benefit you and your students. But don t be too ambitious! Just choose one or two of the activities isted above. Choose the ones that most appea to you, and that you can fit most easiy into your daiy routine. You are more ikey to continue that way. You are aso more ikey to continue if you do short bursts istening to ten minutes of the radio every day, for exampe rather than spending ong periods of time infrequenty. Find some time each day to practise Engish. Make it a habit! 3 Deveoping reading and writing skis Many teachers fee more confident reading and writing Engish than speaking it. Typicay, secondary teachers have studied ong texts, and see Engish texts around them every day (see the unit Loca resources for teaching Engish). 10 of 11 Wednesday 27 May 2015
