The report presents a teaching methodology for primary school how to use Cuisenaire Rods to teach English. First Primary School „St. Cyril and St. Methodius” successfully works under the European program „Erasmus”. In 2017, I participated in the training course at the Executive Training Institute in Malta by the Erasmus program on the topic „Language learning, entertainment and games – a methodology for primary school.” This report introduces some ideas and techniques of teaching English with Cuisenaire Rods, after my education. They are small wooden cubes of different lengths and colors. They are used as a resource in the classroom to visually present different areas of the language. Cuisenaire Rods are an important tool for promoting handson learning. Provokes in children energy, vitality during the lesson. Creates a feeling of joy. Most importantly, it makes them feel confident in their knowledge and ability to use the language. This practical teaching method also provoke the teacher’s imagination to put children close to reality situations, turning the lesson into a game.

Chronological Order

The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the basic methods of teaching English in chronological order of their development. The following teaching methods are studied: grammar translation method, direct method, audio-linguistic method, communicative teaching method. The specific features of each method, their positive and negative characteristics are revealed. The peculiarities of their application in the system of training in public administration are considered. It is determined that training in the field of public administration corresponds to the activities of those who study, namely, public administration, both in terms of subject matter and linguistic content and language learning activities. In general, teaching / learning a foreign language is not essential, so teachers and students / students should only focus on certain aspects of a foreign language. Thus, general language learning should be combined with professional training. In groups with a sufficient level of language proficiency, it is immediately possible to begin a special vocational-oriented training. And, conversely, in groups with low and average English proficiency it is necessary to focus first of all on general language training, and then on professionally oriented. Grammatical material should always be developed and used in oral language. It is noted that an important role in the study of foreign languages is given to the assimilation of professional vocabulary. Assimilation of lexical units is carried out in order to develop the skills of oral communication and is aimed at the implementation of communication skills and an adequate response in typical situations of professional communication, both verbal (for compilation of messages on professional subjects) and written (ability to write resume, any documents, etc.). After all, the possession of the working or official languages of the community provides in practice wide opportunities for obtaining international experience in public administration, undergo internships, work in international projects, etc. In the context of broad international relations with other countries, it is important to communicate with foreign specialists, to develop professional-business and personal contacts with foreign partners, colleagues, to read different editions in the original language.

In our country, English teaching has always played an important role in primary school, middle school and even higher education. Especially in primary school, it is essential to cultivate students’ basic English literacy so as to lay a solid foundation for students’ English learning in the future. However, there are many problems in the process of English teaching in primary schools. A dramatic shift in the traditional notion of primary English teaching, especially the English teaching method, is unavoidable. Additionally, it is sensible to put game into practice. Based on the analysis of current problems existing in primary English teaching as well as its negative effects from the outset, this paper demonstrated the advantages and disadvantages of games in English teaching. It also studied the effective use of games in primary English classes. By adopting the ways of literature research, exploratory research and cases study, this paper provided more options and inspirations for English learners. What’s more, the student’s learning effort and interests will be driven by both game application and proper teaching methodology.

English for nursing is one of the branches of English for Specific Purposes. This type of English lesson requires the teacher to choose a specific method in order to meet a specific learning objective. The final goal of learning this kind of English is to equip learners with competencies that suit their future job, one of them, is English skill. This is inseparable from the choice of an appropriate teaching method by the teacher. Many studies on the implementation of specific teaching methods have been undertaken. However, little is still known about the students' responses to the implementation of Task-Based Language Instruction in English for Nursing Classes. To fill this gap, the current study shed a light on this matter. This qualitative research aimed to explore students’ perception of this teaching method. There were 58 nursing students invited as the respondents. The data were garnered through interview and questionnaires. The implication of this research is to be contributed to the field of EFL teaching methodology as the expansion for the current studies in English for specific Purposes field.

This article explores the classic teaching approach of Community Language Learning (CLL). It will introduce CLL, describe how and when it was developed, what approaches it takes to teaching English, what procedures and techniques are used in a typical CLL lesson, and what materials are needed. This article then goes onto describe how through experimenting with CLL, I believe there are elements of CLL that can help with some common issues in varying Japanese teaching contexts such as tackling learners’ over reliance on electronic devices, and providing learners with authentic listening. Also, this article will also go over some of the weaknesses of CLL. For instance, our institutional requirements, and the fact that this way of teaching goes against how many Japanese learners have been taught English in the past (e.g. in carefully controlled teacher led classrooms). 本論文ではコミュニティ・ランゲージ・ラーニング(CLL)という古典的な教授法について考察する。CLL の概要を紹介し、いつ、どのようにして開発されたのか、英語を教えるためにはどのようなアプローチが必要なのか、典型的な CLL のレッスンではどのような手順とテクニックが使われ、どのような教材が必要なのかを説明する。私は、実地検証を通し、CLL には日本の教育現場共通の課題である「学習者の電子機器への依存度の高さ」や、「学習者に本物のリスニングを提供すること」の解決に役立つ要素があると考えている。また、本論文では CLL の弱点として「CLL は教育施設ごとに制定されている独自のルールや、これまで多くの日本人学習者に英語を教えてきた方法(例:入念に管理された教師主導の教室)に反する」ことを挙げ、詳しく触れていく。

Problem. As engineering is a vast area of study in the world and English is a recognized language of international communication, knowledge of English is compulsory. Besides, we live in the digital age and English is the only language in latest version applications, installation guides and software instructions. Learning for students of engineering from not English-speaking countries is very important not only for their scholastic life, but also for their prospective career, mobility and successful communication. Goal. The goal of the work is to determine the features of teaching English to the students of electrical engineering, specify the role of English language for engineering students, outline the technique and methods of organizing the teaching process, look into innovative technologies of teaching. Methodology. The methodology is based on the analysis of the existing methods of teaching which are many, comparison of classical and innovative methods and analysis of the strategies of different methods. The paper emphasizes creative approach in teaching as a key to success. Results. The work provides a brief theoretical grounding and a working definition for creativity and motivation in teaching English for Specific Purposes and English as a Foreign language. It also explores the role and function of creativity in the context of the changing paradigm regarding the overall scope of the educational system in general and of the language learning in particular. Originality. The work offers combining creative methods and active strategies in fostering better language acquisition during English classes. When we see that the students are involved and motivated, it means that the strategy works. The teacher-oriented method is not currently welcomed in language teaching, and the ways to make it student-oriented are offered in the work. Practical value. The paper contains some practical advice on how a teacher can create more situations in which students can contribute, initiate, control and create. Keeping in mind the dependence of the learning success on creativity of teachers and motivation of students, new innovative methods of teaching in proper combination with theory of language can be used.
