This ITTT video is the second part of a lesson looking at the structure of the Present Perfect tense. It reviews an example of the structure with a regular verb -- played. I/you/we/they have played. She/He/It has played. The video then examines some of the spelling patterns that are used with irregular verbs. For example, verbs ending with a consonant + y. cry changes to cried, try changes to tried. Another spelling pattern with irregular verbs ending with a consonant + a vowel + a consonant Shop changes to shopped, ship changes to shipped. When teaching this particular point, as with other grammar points, it is important to explain to students that there are exceptions to most rules in the English language. Where specific patterns exist we need to introduce them to our students. A qualified ESL teacher needs to be aware of how to help their students understand what the language means, how it is used, how it is said or written and what the grammatical forms are. ITTT's teacher training courses will provide teachers with the necessary skills for this, so to find out more about ITTT's courses as well as the ESL jobs available to certified teachers just follow the link above.

I have been able to get a general view of whats is expected of me as a teacher of English as a foreign language.Here i was able to see aspects related to my personal attitude in relation to students at different ages and also different learning stages.So with this in mind i will continue the course with a more open mind knowing that each section is very important in my teaching job.Teaching English requires a good teacher and a good student. A good teacher needs a good personality and good teaching ability along with the ability to motivate and inspire his/her students. A good English teacher should be capable of identifying the English ability of his/her students in order for him/her to provide a good and appropriate learning opportunities to his/her students.
