Posted on 30 July, 2009

I would like to start a debate on how e-learning technologies can be explored and how can we use these to provide interactive and stimulating learning experiences. Learning styles and teaching methods are undergoing a change and therefore our attitudes towards modern teaching must also change. what are the methods that we can explore to achieve New Professional Standards Regards

Write correctly - Some grammar corrections:
1) I would like to start a debate on how e-learning can be explored and HOW CAN WE....... (Should be ...and how we can . RULE: Don't embed question forms in statements. Eg: Can you tell me what the time is? (Not can you tell me what is the time)

We arrived to the conclusion (AT the conclusion ) Beware of your preposition word pairs and colocations.

But it is the road what is more important, (WHAT!!) Please don't use "what" in a relative clause. I can tolerate your not using reported speech in ..one of the questions they asked me was: How would you manage the fact that ... (Although if you are not going to use reported speech there might be a case for quotation marks.

Friends, you can make all manner of grammar mistakes in spoken English and everyone will accept that because you are not native speakers but please take more care when you write it otherwise some wise guy, such as myself may pick you up on it. - All in fun of course. :) Leon www.englishtap.org

I attended a seminar on e-teaching recently. During the Q&A we arrived to the conclusion that there is no "one" approach that works best. There are nevertheless certain issues to be dealt with if the process is to result successful:
First, that all the technical aspects of the process work properly.
Second, that the teacher knows and uses these applications with confidence and is encouraged to try new things.
Third, feedback, feedback and more feedback from our students , is almost the only way to know if what we are doing is working or not. And I say almost, because each teacher has his/her own ways of evaluating.

When I was hired by an online english teaching company, one of the questions they asked me was: How would you manage the fact that the students will be holding a telephone on the other side of the line?
Well, I did many things, and I think I need to implement some more.
But it is the road what is more important, as well as seeing results in the middle.
Thanks

Hello all!
In case you are interested, I have scheduled two classes on grammar: Noun Phrases in Description of People- aimed at improving writting skills but useful for other skills development as well
Hope to see you there!

E-Teaching is something which most of teachers are getting used to. But I think after conducting some sessions, they will understand the flow of class and what strategy they need to adopt to be more effective.
