Sally makes teaching English to non-native speakers look easy. However, Sally is a new teacher who only graduated from SEE TEFL a few weeks before this lesson was filmed.

Like most SEE TEFL trainees, she had never taught before, had little awareness of the structures of her own language and had very limited experience of speaking in public. Over 4 weeks her teaching skills, language awareness and confidence were progressively developed. Her 6 observed teaching practices during the last two weeks of training teaching real students in a range of local schools consolidated skills learned in the training room. Sally is a fairly typical SEE TEFL graduate.

SEE TEFL trainees are introduced to classroom skills during the first week of training. Normally, each skill is looked at in isolation. The trainer will discuss and then model the skill. Trainees are then given opportunity to role-play to the other trainees this particular skill themselves. This helps to develop the skill and allows trainees to become more familiar and comfortable with using a whiteboard while communicating with a room of students. There is then constructive feedback from both the trainer and other trainees. In this way, each classroom skill is carefully and methodically developed.

6 observed teaching practices in real schools with real students during the second half of training consolidate these skills within a planned and structured lesson.

Presentation -- Part 1 of the 3Ps

You may have delivered a few presentations in your time but the type of presentation we deliver in a second language classroom will differ quite a bit from those. For a start, you were speaking to proficient users of the English language about something they were, most likely, vaguely familiar with anyway. In an EFL classroom we don't have those luxuries, so we have to be careful about the language we use and how clearly we present the new language that we wish for our students to acquire.

Let's look at 4 key things that should be occurring in an effective second language classroom presentation:

1 -- Attention in the Classroom

2 -- Perception and Grading of Language

3 -- Target Language Understanding

4 -- Short-term Memory in the Classroom
