One of them is lie and other must be true and your friends or students try to guess

Its help them to more comfortable with class and other student

About the 5 seconds game and 20 questions, they can be good ways to encourage the students or learners to study. Because the challenge makes them to talk in English, not just memorizing some grammar structures or new words. For learning a new/ foreign language, you don't need to memorize everything, because they'll disappear from your mind soon if you don't use them. But when you use what you've studies, it'll go in your long-term memory so you won't forget it easily.

Warm up asking them about those waht they like more about it and why🩵

alphabet race then after 5m i will ask which counry would you like to live in? and what do you know about America?

2-Why do you like them?

3- what made you interested in them?

Leading activity:1- As you can see a picture of the USA flag is demonstrated on this page, can you tell me what colors are used in it?

2- what's your ideas about the pictures at the below of this page?

3-connect the adjectives from the green circle to the nouns from the blue circles and make new words.

4- use the adjectives from blue and green circles for these pictures.

5- make sentences with the adjectives.

Students say a related world like (book,teaher,reading...)

Have you ever been there? What did you do on your trip?

How i can connect with new students an take some information about them

Manage the class and help them participate

And finally start teaching

Everything was perfect about class just about the connection to site was a little problem

Thank you, goodjob

It was enjoyable of course but focusing on one student not make it ok , let others to comes up bec their connection is not ok or too shy to come up 😊 maybe,

Tnx for ur teaching method bec i am not going to forget any of them ,

Knowing about the great apps makes me happy actually,

And knowing about when and how to use warm up and leading in was the best part .

Tnx Master

everything is ok thanks

I like starting the class,it's engaged me.

Teaching topic is well, but it's better to have more examples and show us real class.

Icebreaker activity:

1- the way to introduce myself in the first session (with a puzzle or maybe I'll ask the students to ask whatever they like to know about me), so it can help me make a good picture and be trustful in their minds from the first session.

2- snowball activity which helps me know the students better, even it helps them know each other better.

Warm up activity: creating challenges such as true and lie challenge, 20 questions, 5 seconds game, word association chain, would you rather etc...

The aim is to catch their attention to the class and this activity can be used for reviewing.

Leading activity: are content based activities, they're related to the lesson we wanna teach at the specific session, still we're challenging the students and make them use English. And after that we can teach the main content (grammar structures/ the words are mentioned in the book and practice them with the students.)

I have no comment about changing things about the class. It was perfect. 🙏🏻

teachers role: a teacher has some responsibilities during the class to help their learners learn better . like she should be language resourcer. planner. facilitator and etc...

classroom facilities: the facilities you can use in the class like internet. the class room itself...

classroom materials: the tools like pictures or course books you can use during the class.

esl: english as second language.

efl: english as foreign language.

esl and efl are different becuase esl can be used in the region you live but you cant use efl all the time.

learners personal differences: there are factors that influence the teaching process like the learners age, their personality, their mental situation...

learning style: the way a learner can learn better like visual style, learning through audio files, or reading and writing...

What is each student's learning style?

And

I need to use different learning styles together so that everyone can learn.

I learned that teacher should be planer mamger ,

And have lots of information and be patient

And teacher should know about the new books and the way of teaching,

And knowing about students goals and purpose and expectations ,and knowing my learning style.

And I like the approach part

And it was a good class too

I like to talk about approach and methods of learning and teaching more .

Tnx 🥰💙🙏

Two topics I especially enjoyed were the sections on approaches and learning styles.

Thanks a lot. it was an amazing class.

I learned about theories and approaches learning.

And about this session:was great with new website and It would be better if we had more time to rest. Thanks.

2- different kinds of course books and sublimentary books for different kinds of ages were mentioned.

good points of the class: asking for participation in the class makes us learn better.

Also we know about teacher's role and learner's role.

We learnd about different style of teaching.

We know difference of theories and approach.

I liked the last part of session .

It's give me lot's of method to teach.

At least if we have more examples,We'll get better.

Task 1- Ice breaker: c

Warm-up: a

Lead in: b

Task 2- discussion:

Lead in activities are content based activities. So whatever the activity is should lead the students to the main topic of the session. But not the lesson itself. For instance, if the lesson is about the colors, you can start communicating with the learners about their favorite colors.

And person based activity, we can mention Ice breaker activities, like snowball activity, write few fun questions on a ball, let the learners throw it to each other and each person who faces a specific question, answer it and the game goes on.

The reason I chose these activities is because I like to be friendly with the students, I want to create a comfort zone for the learners, not a place where they feel they're forced. The learning can be effective when they enjoy it.

Part 2- Teacher and learner roles:

Task 3- categorization:

1- teacher

2-teacher

3 -teacher

4- learner

5- both

6- learner

Task 4- reflection question:

I think being a facilitator is more important in a modern classroom. Of course, teachers should know the language well, but students learn better when the teacher helps them discover things by themselves. A facilitator gives students more chances to talk, share ideas, and learn through communication, not just by listening to explanations.

Part 3- learning styles and preferences:

Task 5:

1-visual

2- kinesthetic

3- Reading and writing

4-auditory

Task 6:

Visual learning style:

The process and the way you learn something is very important. In a course , whether a face-to-face or online class, it's important to identify what learning style works best for you.

Even as a teacher you can work on different styles, change the styles time to time to help your learners learn more efficiently.

Different styles of learning can be isolated to: Visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading and writing styles, that all of them are good ways.

Some pupils are interested in learning things visually.

Visual learners are people who learn best through seeing things. They remember information better when it is presented with images, colors, diagrams, or videos. For example, they often prefer reading texts with charts or watching demonstrations instead of only listening to explanations.

In the classroom, visual learners enjoy using flashcards, mind maps, PowerPoint slides, and posters. They also like taking notes with different colors or symbols, because it helps them organize information in their mind.

As teachers, we can support visual learners by using pictures, body language, and written keywords while teaching. This way, they can connect what they see with what they hear.

Overall, visual learning makes lessons more interesting, helps with memory, and allows students to process information more effectively.

Task 10 -“Creating a Café Menu”, task based approache:

The task is “Creating a Menu for a Café.”

I’ll divide students into small groups and tell them that they are going to open their own café. Each group needs to decide on:

1-the name of their café,

2- 4–5 food or drink items,

3- the prices.

They can also add a short slogan or a “special of the day” if they want.

During the task, students will discuss their ideas, make decisions together, and write their final menu on paper.

As the teacher, I’ll walk around, listen, and help only if they really need vocabulary or pronunciation support . I won’t interrupt to correct every mistake.

After they finish, each group will present their café menu to the class. Then we’ll vote for the most creative café.

At the end, I’ll give short feedback, maybe highlight some useful expressions like “How about adding…?” or “Let’s make it cheaper.”

This task helps students use English for a real purpose, practice groupwork, and communicate naturally , which is exactly what the Task-Based Approach focuses on.

Part 6-

Task 11-

ESL: 1) it's acquired in the environment a person lives naturally. 2) it can be used in everyday life.

3) to communicate and it's used almost everyday.

EFL: 1) it can be taught in courses. 2) it's used while it's needed or when a person is talking with the native of that specific language. 3) to communicate and have the knowledge of understanding the foreign language but it's not used in everyday life.

Task 12- EFL is better. Because it's taught academic and the learners don't have to use it in their everyday life. They just need the knowledge to understand it.

Task 13-

Language Learning Theories:

1. Behaviorism – Learning happens through repetition, imitation, and reinforcement.

2. Cognitivism – Learning involves mental processes, understanding, and applying rules.

3. Constructivism – Learners build knowledge through experience and interaction.

4. Humanism – Focuses on emotions, motivation, and personal growth in learning.

5. Interactionism – Language develops through social interaction and communication.

Language Teaching Approaches:

1. Grammar Translation Method – Focuses on grammar rules and translation between L1 and L2.

2. Direct Method – Teaches vocabulary and structures through speaking, without translation.

3. Audio-Lingual Method – Based on repetition and drills to form correct language habits.

4. Communicative Approach (CLT) – Emphasizes real-life communication and fluency over accuracy.

5. Task-Based Learning (TBL) – Students learn language through completing meaningful tasks.

6. Lexical Approach – Focuses on vocabulary chunks and collocations rather than grammar.

7. Content-Based Instruction (CBI/CLIL) – Language is learned through studying real subject content.

8. Humanistic Approach – Emphasizes emotions, self-expression, and creating a supportive environment.

Task 14-

A good language teacher is not only knowledgeable but also creative and supportive in the class. From the first sessions of the course, I learned how important it is to use icebreaker, warm-up, and lead-in activities to build a positive atmosphere and motivate or encouraged students. A good teacher helps students communicate and feel confident when they talk, not being scared of making mistakes, or he or she doesn't just focus on grammar rules. They use different teaching approaches such as communicative or task-based methods to make learning meaningful and enjoyable for their pupi

ls. Most importantly, a good teacher understands learners’ needs and creates a comfortable learning environment or comfort zone.

and i learn about groups and diffrent ways to made groups

and learn about diffrent kind of groups

another thing i've learned today was the classroom layout. different styles of setting the chairs for different purposes while you teach.

Another point was about classroom layout, as each activity requires a specific arrangement to help students learn the lesson more effectively.

Thanks. Goodjob.

And I learned , the design of classroom is effective in education.

1. When we want students to work together and share ideas, we usually arrange them in groups.

2. A circle layout is useful for presentations, role plays, and making eye contact with everyone.

3. If the teacher is giving instructions or leading a drill, students often sit in rows.

4. Physical activities like TPR or miming need a flexible layout so students can move around.

5. Teacher-centered activities focus on what the teacher does (e.g., giving instructions, drilling).

6. Learner-centered activities focus on what students do (e.g., group work, communication tasks).

7. Individual writing or silent reading usually happens best in rows.

8- using games and activities to make them remember the new vocabulary, like bingo, or ankiroid.

C)

9- stage one: presentation: elicitation

Stage two: practice: gap filling

Stage three: production: using words in a personal story

Part D) 10- T

11- F

It’s really useful for me .🙏🏻

Part B)
1- I think interactive model is the best, it might not be the easiest but the best in my notion. Because while you read for pleasure, you can pay attention to the language and learn new things and improve your skills.
2- A good teacher can provide background knowledge for their students and some activities, then after reading the text , a discussion can make the students more engaged to learning the target language because they're talking about themselves too , not just the lesson itself.
3- When you read for pleasure, and if you pay attention to the language, you can learn new slangs, new words, and improve your grammar skills, also you gain some knowledge about that field and you can use it in your writings or speech. In short it gives you more confidence while you use the target language.
