What Teaching Approaches Are Used in Online English Lessons?
The goal of GVE’s lessons is for students to practice speaking and listening with native speaking tutors. GVE pairs students and tutors together so that students meet weekly with the same tutor and this consistency creates a supportive environment for students to become more confident speakers.
Tutors have the opportunity to develop strong working relationships with students and feel a sense of accomplishment as students’ English fluency continually grows.
Unlike other language programs, GVE’s focus is on speaking and listening.
This focus is based on the curriculum of our online classroom, which invites students and tutors into an active and creative conversation. TESOL certified instructors will recognize this as the Communicative Approach to language learning, which is the theoretical platform upon which GVE curriculum is built.
More recently, GVE has begun to include other teaching approaches into our lesson plans. This summer, our lessons include guided conversations that are delivered using topic-based learning. Students enter into authentic life scenarios and use targeted language in order to accomplish a clear task.
In addition, our summer story lessons are taught using coordinated language along with physical movement, which TESOL teachers will recognize as the total physical response (TPR) approach to language learning. Language experts from around the world continue to endorse TPR as a preferred teaching method for young learners.
How Does Technology Offer A Good Learning Experience for Kids?
GVE offers a unique learning experience for students by gamifying the curriculum. A talented team of GVE content developers creates educational games aimed at motivating students to practice speaking English while having fun. Read the full article on our $39 course for online ESL teachers!
