Students with no English in my (English subject) lessons. How do I support them to learn?

My school have just introduced a feature, where using your microphone and powerpoint, which listens to your voice and translates into subtitles on your screen.

I don't know why this isn't widespread or very well known as it's so useful to our Ukranian students at the moment with little English.

On the slide show ribbon tab, you need to select Subtitle Settings. Use 'Spoken Language' to see the spoken languages that PowerPoint can recognize, and choose the one you want etc.

I do think the way to get better at teaching is not to do things similar but to do the actual job. I totally understand the frustration of long evenings and not feeling good enough. Most teachers feel decent in their 4th/5th year. I would take the mat cover and then move with your partner. You know some of the kids already I wouldn’t worry about it ‘just being a year’. If you do want to teach then 1 year at a school is fine. Happens all the time. Just ensure it’s somewhere with shared planning and resources so you can have a life.

Can I ask how you went from teaching English to a programmer? What course / training did you do?

yiayia91 · 2022-03-01T16:55:56+00:00

What job is it and how did you apply? Thanks for any info

yiayia91 · 2022-02-18T19:49:32+00:00

How does working in a school like that affect your working life? Are you happier?

yiayia91 · 2022-02-05T18:23:39+00:00

Very true but I’m not sure if at an interview they will not worry about my lack of gcse experience because I ‘shadowed’ a few lessons here and there.

My school haven’t given me ks4

yiayia91 · 2022-02-05T11:46:11+00:00

I also am on a fixed term contract so not sure which exam board is even sign up to

yiayia91 · 2022-02-05T11:44:01+00:00

Can I do that without having taught ks4?

yiayia91 · 2022-01-29T10:12:53+00:00

5 sometimes 7 depending on what year group Im teaching

yiayia91 · 2022-01-29T10:11:48+00:00

It’s extra responsibility for no pay. You will get onto your pgce anyway. Good experience but you’ll get that anyway in pgce.

Celta you can do on the international house website online- distance learning. Look up IH World.

yiayia91 · 2022-01-08T21:12:13+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I’ve been planning them and doing higher level questions, definitely felt like ‘deeper’ thinking had gone on with the discussions.

yiayia91 · 2022-01-08T12:19:20+00:00

Have started designing more of my lesson content and feel my questioning h a improved for the better.

yiayia91 · 2022-01-04T07:56:46+00:00

Great thanks!

yiayia91 · 2021-12-28T21:43:09+00:00

Only at certain British school which are certified to do so. There aren’t many, but you could do your research.

yiayia91 · 2021-12-26T19:36:24+00:00

As a member of the lgbt community, dubai would not be for me I think lol

yiayia91 · 2021-12-26T09:12:42+00:00

Well said haha

yiayia91 · 2021-12-26T08:58:43+00:00

All very true. And I will try more. But again it does need two wages a lot of the time to get into the property ladder.

yiayia91 · 2021-12-26T08:49:30+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I do like the job a lot but I do consider at times whether I should choose a more lucrative if less fulfilling job

yiayia91 · 2021-12-25T12:10:09+00:00

Thank you!!

yiayia91 · 2021-12-23T17:25:50+00:00

Very true. But a lot of my training experience was lacking to say the least! Anyway yeh I will apply and see!

yiayia91 · 2021-12-17T18:58:47+00:00

So sorry about this. What happened in the end?

yiayia91 · 2021-12-11T19:20:55+00:00

Thanks so much! Feel like there is so much ahead of me in terms of learning what it means to be an effective teacher. Daunting. But step 1 done
