2-Teaching Aids
A teaching aid is a tool used by the teacher as a facilitator
to the
process of teaching and learning inside the
classroom. It is one of the
means by which we,
as teachers bring life into the theoretical texts by
bringing environment inside the classroom indirectly.
Also, it is a
means of personification to the concrete
texts in the students' books.
The final purpose
remains as a means of relating teaching with the
environment that students live in and communicate
with.
A teaching aid is a means of bringing environment into
class to give life to theoretical learning. It is a means
to involve learners physically, mentally, emotionally
and environmentally.
A teaching aid can involve the learners physically
through using his senses and acting, mentally through
using his mind and thinking,
emotionally through his
excitement and environmentally through looking at
pictures that express the daily life we live. Have you
wondered what a teacher is? He is an audio-visual
aid of teaching.
Teaching Aids.
They include:
(Cards,
Charts, grids, Pictures, Drawing, photos,
magazines, worksheets, mind-mapping. Technology,
Video, digital material, data show, CDs,
Electronic program, Dictionary, Websites,
the computer, the internet, E-Book, Intelligent board,
Blackboard, Realia, actual fields, Real
situations,
Online Dictionaries, Graffic Organizers, virtual
tours of their latest exhibits,The real daily
environmental things......
Importance :
1) Motivation
Teaching aids motivate the students so that they can
learn better.
2) Clarification
Through teaching aids , the teacher clarify the subject
matter more easily.
3) Discouragement of Cramming
Teaching aids can facilitate the proper understanding to
the students which discourage the act of cramming.
4) Increase the Vocabulary
Teaching aids helps to increase the vocabulary of the
students more effectively.
5) Saves Time and Money
Teaching through using aids takes a shorter time
than traditional teaching that
depends on lecturing
and more repetition from the side of the teacher.
There will be no need to re-explain the lesson once
more, as the
learners have learnt the content through
using all their senses and
emotion.
Here, money is saved.
6) Classroom Live and active
Teaching aids make the classroom live and active.
7) Avoids Dullness
The only method of teaching here, is the
wooden
blackboard and the chalk to write with. Perhaps,
the teacher uses flash cards and wall sheets in very
few lessons and the purpose is for show not for
knowledge or teaching.
The role of technology is
restricted to enabling the
learners to visit the lonely school
computer laboratory,
once a month and that is also for show.
Examples:
In active learning, both the teacher and the learners
can use electronic learning programs like The Sage
program, The Hot Potatoes
program, The lingoes
Mid map program , Chemistry crocodile program and
the electronic
lesson plan for the teacher.
Kinds of active teaching aids:
. Visual Aids
. Audio Aids
. Audio - Visual Aids
1) Visual Aids
The
aids which use sense of vision are called Visual aids.
"3-Teaching Materials"
"Teaching materials" is a generic term used to describe:
the
resources teachers use to deliver instruction.
Teaching materials can support student learning and
increase student success.
Ideally, the teaching materials will be tailored to the
content in which they're
being used, to the students
in whose class they are being used, and the teacher.
Teaching materials come in many shapes and sizes,
but they all have in common the ability to support
student learning.
Examples
Teaching materials can refer to a number
of teacher
resources; however, the term usually refers to
concrete examples, such as worksheets or
manipulative (learning tools or games that students
can handle to help them gain and practice facility
with
new knowledge-- e.g. counting blocks).
Teaching materials are different from teaching
"resources," the latter including more theoretical
and
intangible elements, such as essays or support
from other educators, or
places to find teaching
materials.
Teaching resources / Material
They include:
A-The actual daily- life sites and environmental realia.
B-Concrete teaching Material
.e,g.(Book, classroom supplies for
teachers, Realia, CD, Video tape, tablet, iPad, Mac,
and Apple TV ..)
C- Theoretical teaching material.
e.g.(Workshops, Training units)
D-Electronic teaching programs:
( Word program, Excel program,
Power-point
program,
Access program, MS picture management program,
Movie-maker program, Free-mind program, Lingoes
program, Celestia
program, Yanka program,
Anki program, Jing program, Hot potatoes program,
MS Mathematics program, the Sage program,
Chemistry crocodile
program, Physics Crocodile
program and a lot of other electronic
programs.
Electronic teaching enables the teacher to do
an electronic lesson plan and give an electronic
lesson presentation.)
Top 5 teaching materials:
Blackboard
Blackboard is one of the most capable teaching tools
in the space.
Educators can upload grades, monitor
student performance, and administer tests.
Teachers can also input assignments and manage
their syllabus.
Students can access all the information their teachers
add to their
class page, check their grades,
and complete assignments. Blackboard
combines all those features with an outstanding
design to deliver a fine
tool for the student and
teacher, alike.
Classroom 2.0
Classroom 2.0 is a social network for teachers.
Educators can chat, send messages, and exchange
e ideas on how to best educate students.
I
found Classroom 2.0 to be an ideal place
for teachers to find best practices to create
a more effective educational environment.
Many of the educators discuss ways to use the
Web to enhance classroom instruction.
Engrade
Engrade enables learners to monitor grades and
see how
they've performed on quizzes. All that
information is provided by the
teachers, who can
also customize their Engrade grade books, input
scores
from anywhere they have Web access,
and create instruction plans for
students to download.
Engrade is a powerful tool that's easy to use for both
students and
teachers.
My grade book
With the
option to create online assignments,
manage grade books, administer
quizzes,
communicate with parents, and provide access
to students,
My Grade Book literally creates a
virtual classroom online.
Teacher Tube
Teacher Tube is a video site for educators.
Teachers can upload
instruction videos,
which can be viewed by anyone anywhere
in the world. Videos can show classroom
instructions on topics ranging from biology to
Shakespeare.
There are no limits on the content.

9-Learning Styles
To
apply learning styles theory to English learning and
teaching, we must
know what learning style is.
Learning has taken place when we observe a change
of learner behavior resulting from what has been
experienced.
Similarly, we can recognize the learning style of an
individual student only by observing his over
t behavior.
Learning style is a consistent way of functioning that
reflects the underlying causes of learning behavior
Learning styles are internally basic characteristics
of
individuals for the intake or understanding of new
information.
