1.KNOW YOUR TEXTBOOK • Why read your students textbooks? • Know what they are and will be learning • Know their grammar and vocabulary limitations • Understand the format of how they will be learning
OK, I’ve read it. Now what? • What you should do: • Make note of vocabulary and grammar progression (A.K.A. What are they learning and when) and use it. • Make note of what your JTE’s are teaching in solo class (if you share a textbook, this is crazy important). This way, you can tie in T.T. class with solo classes to try and make a more seamless curriculum • Why? • Consistent grammar and vocabulary in English classes makes English more manageable for students. • They will remember more. • And what’s more, they will see that the stuff they learn is USEFUL!!! (say what?)
2. Communication between the ALT and the JTE I should plan my lessons
DiscussionS?WhY? • cohesive TT and solo JTE classes • English reinforcement for students Note: Talk to your teachers about what has been taught or not yet taught in classes to make sure that students and classes are on par with each other
Plan Meetings • plan lessons a week or two behind your JTE (in case there’s problems with scheduling) • Make an agreement to make a weekly meetings to discuss any issues with the plan. Or, you can individually talk with your teachers. • Plan what works best for you and your JTEs
