The challenges which face
teaching English as a foreign language
The importance of
HOW Not Why
1- Over crowded classes :
To overcome this problem:-
We can divide the class into groups
and then divide the task on these groups
to complet each other.
IT can be applied on teaching Ss how to write a paragraph
2- Lack of motivation:
To overcome this problem teachers and the
government have a great role:-
A) The teacher:-
He/She has the important and essential role in the
educational process.He/She should deal with his/her Ss
as a human being.He/she should reach then teach
by:-
1- Reward:-
Ss who don't have powerful intrinsic motivation
to learn can be helped by extrinsic motivators in the
form of rewards,rather than criticizing unwanted
behaviours or answers
2- Care :-
The teacher should reach to the Student's heart
then teach.Ss respond with interest and motivation
to teachers who appear to be human and caring
give ahand
be a friend
be a harmony in a band
be cheerful not sad
be good not bad
be flexible not hard
be all the time kind
* Ss need to be satisfied to keep interested and happy.
3- Students' participation :-
It's better to get Ss involved in activities group porblem
solving exercises, helping to decide what to do
and the best way to do it,helping the teacher,
Working with each other,or in some other way
getting physically involved in the lesson.
It is the best way to make Ss feel self-confidece and
teach them how to be co-operative.
4- Use positive emotions:-
If you can make things funny, exciting,enjoyable,
loving or perhaps even abit frightening,emotions
can be created by classroom attitudes by doing
something unexpected or outrageous by praise and by many other means.
" Asuccessful teacher is a great actor on the stage "
B) The government :-
*The government should match between
what is taught at schools and the workmarket. It should
make a connection between the school and the surroundings.
*It should provide schools with tools and
other things which Ss need to achieve the
the best results of the teaching process.
3- The illiteracy of using modern technology by
Teachers,Students and Parents
" The computer and the internet"
To overcome this problem :-
We should hold activating courses and be
followed up regularly to train teachers and Ss.
Also, during the summer holiday training courses
can be held for parents to teach them how deal
with modern tech to know how to follow up their children
4- Ignoring the role of the new methods and techniques
in teaching English
Jazz chants, songs,movies
To overcome this problem :-
We should train teachers how to use these new methods
and how these methods should cover the different
aspects of the language. the four skills,and the sub skills,
teaching vocabulary,grammer,....
5- Staying on the schedule :-
in other words, the traditional way.
Teachers shouldn't be obliged to work on the schedule
as much as they could. They should prepare the class
for creativity and brain storming.
Teachers shouldn't use traditional methods in teaching
Teachers should be guides and organizers
for the work
6- Using English as a communicative tool:-
Pupils find it difficult to interact if we
use only English in the classroom all the time .
To overcome this problem teachers try to
facilitate the meanings
Use known voc to present the new ones .
* teachers can use different techniques like :-
Acting
Body language
Visual aids
and many other ways.
7- Lack of regular and activating trainings :-
Regular trainings should be held to make teachers
aware of the latest methods on teaching to
improve their performance
8- Fear of speaking :-
Ss fear to speak in puplic.
To overcome this problem
* Encourage them
*Ts shouldn't interupt their Ss while expressing themselves in English.
* Involve them in small groups.
* Reward them.
* Give them first small roles then they will try to prove themselves
9- Reflective Teaching :-
* It's a process of self-observation and self-evaluation
* It should be applied regularly and effectively
as aguide and a way to improve his/her performance.
