TEFL METHODOLOGY UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
EXAM SCRIPT
◉ Organizer
Answer: Gives instructions, organises students into groups or
pairs, initiates activities or brings them to a close, and organizes
feedback. This is one of the most important roles, as students
need to be confident as to how the activities will work or how the
groups are supposed to function so that they are not confused.
◉ Assessor
Answer: Gives feedback and correction to students as well as
evaluating and grading their abilities. Students are usually very
keen to find out how they are doing, but try not to correct every
mistake you hear as that could discourage them.
◉ Elicitor
Answer: Prompts the students into working things out for
themselves and giving a response. The teacher can ask guiding
questions or give activities and tasks designed to allow students
to discover things by themselves rather than be told.
◉ Participant
, Answer: Participates in an activity as an equal, rather than as the
teacher. This livens up an activity from inside the group, rather
than prompting from outside. However, you need to make sure
you don't dominate or take over the activity.
◉ Tutor
Answer: Provides guidance, support or encouragement - more
suited to a one-to-one role when students are working
individually or in pairs. Be careful to give equal attention to all
students and not to intrude too much.
◉ Resource
Answer: Models the language for students and helps them look up
meaning or explanations. As a native or high-level English
speaker, you are likely to be the main resource in the classroom.
However, rather than spoon-feeding answers to questions like:
"What does this mean?", you may want to encourage students to
work things out on their own whenever possible. It's also
important for students to be exposed to how you speak, so they
can learn a natural way of speaking English.
◉ Observer
Answer: Monitors to see how activities are progressing, to get an
idea of how long it will take and how successful it has been. Try
not to distract the students when you are observing.
◉ Facilitator
