About my final project

I have been invited to attend a class conducted by ESL (English as a second language) that I mentioned couple weeks ago this coming Saturday. The class will be focuing on pronunciation, vocabulary, scripted conversation. I will share my experience with all of you after I try the class.

The reason why I want to attend the class is realted to my final project. I will be role-playing as a teacher to conduct a lesson and teach English to some students drawing on my experience of learing in ESL. There might be two or three students who are showing their interest in learning English in SL.

Then, I will carry on exploring the idea of oral communication as well as the feasibility of teaching English in SL in China. In my final project, first, I will give a brief description of the role-playing group attending the class (number of people, content of class, etc). Second section includes the theory of teaching English in SL. Language teachers use SL to provide simulation of real life contexts and encourage students to improve their language skills in a more creative and realistic way (Chang, Gutl, Kopeinik and Williams, 2009).Third, I will talk about the positive and negative aspects of the feasibility of teaching English in SL in China basing on the experiences of me and my "students". Final part will be the conclusion part.

 

It is just a brief idea of my fianl project. There might be a possibility of changing a little bit in it.
