1. What are the eight important objectives of teacher education?

50. What are the possible concerns of organising lesson out-of classroom?
Organising out-of-classroom activities requires time and forethought, whether going into the school grounds, the neighbourhood or a distant locality. It may require rearranging the timetable. Visits to museums and similar venues involve costs that may need to be obtained from parents. Taking
children outside involves organising other adult support, and informing them about the activities
they will supervise. Time is needed to walk to nearby sites, and public or private transport
bookings must be made in advance. There is also overseeing the children on the bus/coach, having
sick bags, etc. to consider. You must be fully acquainted with the school’s and local authority’s guidance on health and safety and follow procedures. Teachers and parents have
heightened concerns about how safe children will be, whether from traffic, walking, farm visits, etc. Taking children out requires confidence. Going into the school grounds, locally or further afield, means knowing what these places are like, what can be studied and how safely, and setting suitable
challenges in the children’s tasks. A frequent concern is managing children’s behaviour outside the classroom. It is vital that you are well prepared and that the children understand what is required of them. They need to understandthe tasks they will do, perhaps because they have been involved in creating them.
51. What most popular types of tests for your ESL classroom do you know?
Most popular types of tests for your ESL classroom
1.Multiple Choice
Multiple choice tests have been a popular choice for educators for many years. Each
question gives students several options for answers, and they choose the correct answer
from among the incorrect answers. Multiple choice tests are easy to grade and can cover
a large range of information without taking too much time or being too overwhelming.
Using these tests in your classroom may help prepare students for standardized tests.
2. Alternative response
True/false tests, a type of alternative response tests, are another long time favorite for
many different teachers. Each question presents a statement, and the student must
decide whether that statement is correct or not. True/false tests are another easy grader,
but again depend heavily on test taking strategy.
3. Matching
Matching tests require students to pair items in one column with those in another. Some
language teachers may ask their students to match English words with those same words
in their first language. Others may provide lists of places and people who go together.
4. Completion
Completion tests require students to give some information to complete a sentence on
the page. Completion tests might be filling in the blank tests, cloze tests, or free answer
tests. Completions give students a chance to show the teacher what they know rather
than testing for what they do not know.
5. Essay
Essay tests are less common in the ESL classroom since they require a larger base of
general knowledge than simpler test forms. Essay tests, however, are highly
communicative.
6. Oral Testing
Oral testing is particularly important in language classrooms because spoken language
is the ultimate goal in any language program. Oral tests focus on students’ ability to
communicate with what they know.
