Most of teachers who are working for the private institute should focus on students' school grade so it would be hard to apply the knowledge what we learned through MA program.
Two years ago, right after finishing TESOL certificate course, I got a job in elemetary school as a English teacher. There was no designated textbook or curriculum. School asked me to do story related activities. It was good chance to apply what I learned and it was very exciting.
According to my experience, each step of task chain is to be very simple and easy to understand. After detailed explanation about each task, it is important to show demo so that all of the students have clear pictures about each step. For large class, I felt group activities are better than the individual work. Also, competition makes a tremendous difference in child`s ability to concentrate and learn during school hours.
Chapter 4 is very helpful as it explains about the instructional plan, assessment, standards which are essential parts for real class circumstance.
