naomishema 2014-12-03T21:00:55 Hi! I'm here, at least for now. Always the problem of the hour...#eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:01:12 @naomishema welcome Naomi #ELTChat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:02:48 Naomi. what do you think about the lesson being down to teacher's style? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:03:08 @SueAnnan Am here but half here :-) #ELTchat  Hi  @naomishema - anyone else joining us?
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:03:29 @Marisa_C @SueAnnan @naomishema so your half and my half make a whole #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:03:41 @SueAnnan @Shaunwilden Hi everyone, I'm here...reading and hopefully also able to participate #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:04:06 Colleagues I work with have a variety of styles, but all of their lessons seem to work, so I'm not sure if I agree. #ELTchat
muranava 2014-12-03T21:04:10 #eltchat hi am lurking, quick thought some loaded notions - style, outcomes

Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:04:49 @Shaunwilden Hi - are you a bit better? Hi @HadaLitim And @muranava #eltchat
naomishema 2014-12-03T21:05:08 just observed lesson withexample. T moved from frontal to indiv. work & back several times in lesson. only works if u can stop Ss. #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:05:12 could it be more a question of teacher confidence in what they are teaching? #ELTchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:05:33 Hi everyone  : ) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:05:45 @Marisa_C  getting there still not 100 percent #ELTchat How was the D1 exam?
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:05:59 @joannacre Hi Joanna, great to have you here #eLTchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:06:00 Is it because some ppl think only high energy Ts are effective? Not true, methinks #eltchat
naomishema 2014-12-03T21:06:10 @joannacre HI! #eltchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:06:31 @Shaunwilden my trainees thought it was easy - fingers crossed :-) #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:06:36 @Marisa_C I agree. Some of my colleagues are really laid-back- but effective too #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:06:37 @Marisa_C def not true in my opinion, the best lesson i’ve seen are by very measured, calm teachers #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:07:14 Could it be more a question of teacher confidence in what they are teaching? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:07:18 @joannacre Hey Joanna - good to see u on #eltchat again

naomishema 2014-12-03T21:07:43 which only goes to show u need to give TS room to teach according to their personal styles and not prescriptions! #eltchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:08:02 @SueAnnan :) delta free- time to tweet!! #eltchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:08:07 @naomishema absolutely! fully agree Naomi #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:08:08 I think Hada was thinking about trainees on Celta courses. #ELTchat

joannacre 2014-12-03T21:08:45 @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C what do you mean by calm? #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:09:23 @Marisa_C @SueAnnan Squinting by now and really want to take part. Celta for a start yes but generally too #eltchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:09:27 @SueAnnan I think teaching style can be connected to confidence!! #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:09:28 @joannacre @Marisa_C just not getting over energetic, keeping very relaxed etc #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:10:33 @Shaunwilden @joannacre @Marisa_C Someone once told me you can always tell a delta T as they sit more haha #eltchat
naomishema 2014-12-03T21:10:54 Perhaps though, teaching style comes into play in regards to the amount they let ss talk. Some teachers don't stop for air! #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:11:12 @joannacre @SueAnnan Personal confidence? Or teaching confidence? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:11:16 @Shaunwilden Surely whatever works for you is fine. I am a bit manic sometimes if the class needs it, but can do calm too #ELTchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:11:20 @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C I agree altho' you can't change the way you are, can you? I'd love to be calmer but my energy keeps me going #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:11:47 @HadaLitim @joannacre teaching confidence #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:12:25 What is it abt some Ts who Ss are never satisfied with. The LP is spot on. Outcomes met but Ss complain #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:12:56 @joannacre @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C My old TCM #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:13:07 @languageeteach @Marisa_C I didn’t say energy was a bad thing, I’m almost hyperenergetic i said some of the best lessons i had seen #eltchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:13:16 @joannacre: @HadaLitim @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C haha who says that? > probably same person who says 'the CELTA method" as in PPP :-D #eltchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:13:19 @naomishema Agree. I've watched trainee teachers who are used to teaching lots of Ss - teaching from the front, v. t-centred #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:13:20 @Marisa_C @joannacre @Shaunwilden Lool Marisa..nope )) #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:13:28 @HadaLitim teaching style could clash with sts preferred way of learning? #eltchat

Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:13:52 @Shaunwilden you are! a total wheerly dervish at times! #eltchat but that's you! :-D
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:14:18 @Marisa_C Quite :) #ELTchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:14:30 @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C I know what you mean. I watched one T recently who was so calm but he had the Ss on tenterhooks #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:14:48 @SueAnnan Yes. Could culture come into it? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:14:58 @Marisa_C @Shaunwilden I've seen both of you in action. I think Marisa might win the hyper award #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:15:22 @languageeteach @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C Sounds like Jamie Keddie #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:15:26 @languageeteach I wonder if we are still the same as when we watched each other years ago? Probably yes :-) #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:15:32 @SueAnnan @Shaunwilden nope - i don't think i could beat shaun on this one #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:15:53 @HadaLitim I'd say yes.I know that German students in our school expect something quite different from other sts. #ELTchat
naomishema 2014-12-03T21:15:53 But learning styles can be an issue. I do a lot of "learning by doing" but some ss really want rules/examples beforehand. stress. #eltchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:15:54 @HadaLitim Do they have certain expectations of what makes a good T or what makes good learning? Maybe T doesn't meet those #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:16:17 @SueAnnan Totally agree too #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:16:30 @languageeteach No doubt that's the case #eltchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:16:42 @languageeteach @HadaLitim I think u have sth there - Ss do have these expectations :-) #eltchat and this changes in diff cultures
MarjorieRosenbe 2014-12-03T21:16:54 Hi everyone.  Is the topic teaching styles? #eltchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:16:59 @languageeteach @naomishema classroom + seating arrangment does play a role. How would you teach in an amphitheater for example? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:17:11 @MarjorieRosenbe Hey Marjorie yes it is #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:17:44 @MarjorieRosenbe It's whether teaching styles have any effect on classroom outcomes #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:17:53 I am awake now #eltchat
naomishema 2014-12-03T21:18:05 @joannacre @languageeteach teachiing in an amphi sounds like something I would not like. My biggest lesson (not talk) was to 60! #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:18:09 We often go on abt Learning styles. What if the T's style doens't match the S's style? What should the T do? #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2014-12-03T21:18:12 @SueAnnan I think it's first a matter of rapport with the class. #eltchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:18:33 @languageeteach @HadaLitim I asked my EAP sts what makes a teacher a good teacher and they all said T has to be interesting #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:18:49 @MarjorieRosenbe we were debating whther it was also cultural #ELTchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:18:55 @naomishema In my context, you are expected to use 'active teaching methods' this is what they feel Ofsted want. #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2014-12-03T21:18:56 @naomishema and teacher needs to know what works when. #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:19:01 @MarjorieRosenbe @SueAnnan Hi Marjorie, indeed but what if the T's style doens't appeal to the Ss #eltchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:19:07 @MarjorieRosenbe @SueAnnan totally agree #eltchat

Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:19:22 @HadaLitim Good Q - this comes into providing for variety in lessons - teaching style is not included tho in any criteria #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:19:26 @joannacre @languageeteach I often hear that too #eltchat
naomishema 2014-12-03T21:19:26 RT @MarjorieRosenbe: @naomishema and teacher needs to know what works when. #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:19:51 @Marisa_C Exactly and that's what we were discussing at work #eltchat
Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:19:56 @HadaLitim Isnt there an inevitability in that is bound to happen  #ELTchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:20:36 @MarjorieRosenbe @naomishema so experience taps into teaching style #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:20:42 If a teacher follows 'Best Practice' regarding STT etc, what does the style matter really? #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:20:46 @Shaunwilden Sure, but it seems to happen with some Ts more than others. How do we help? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:20:49 RT @Shaunwilden: @HadaLitim Isnt there an inevitability in that is bound to happen  #ELTchat> agree & don't think I shd adopt a diff persona
MarjorieRosenbe 2014-12-03T21:20:52 @Marisa_C Totally depends again on how teacher understands group. High energy can also get on one's nerves. #eltchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:21:03 @Shaunwilden I am the epitome of grace and poise, now Shaun! #eltchat

Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:22:48 @SueAnnan even for a frustrated actress :-D (not me btw) just saying #eltchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:22:57 @HadaLitim @Shaunwilden Good Q - listening to the Ss - trying to find a compromise/challenging learners? Not 100% sure #eltchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:23:11 @SueAnnan yeah but what's best for some lrns is worst for others. Think of adult lrns and YL and lnr autonomy, for example #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:23:16 @Marisa_C :-) #ELTChat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:23:19 @naomishema Yes but is it always possible?  #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2014-12-03T21:23:27 @SueAnnan @Shaunwilden Hardcto explain cwhat I mean but energy has to be real and not a show  #eltchat

SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:24:04 @joannacre But T's can sense that surely, and act accordingly? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:24:28 : I think it might an idea to talk abt styles for diff ages - YLs love a warm,, affectionate & playful T #eltchat

naomishema 2014-12-03T21:25:21 Y learners have different styles too. Huge difference between some boys & girls #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:25:23 Adults like to be challenged, but don't need T to bounce around all the time #ELTchat
MarjorieRosenbe 2014-12-03T21:25:35 @naomishema That's why we need to understand our own styles. #eltchat Then we can adapt more easily to sts.
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:25:38 @Marisa_C We have segregated classes here so I'd say men definitely expect a diff T style than women #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:26:17 @MarjorieRosenbe @naomishema I agree Marjories, but our T style is seldom spoken of #eltchat
joannacre 2014-12-03T21:26:23 @SueAnnan I hope so. How you teach sth to one group is not the way you would teach it to others #eltchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:26:33 @Marisa_C And different contexts. The kind of learners in my context (asylum seekers) like teachers who really listen to them #eltchat
Marisa_C 2014-12-03T21:26:34 @MarjorieRosenbe I think that is a key issue here - how can a T become more aware of how they come across to their Ss #eltchat
ELTwriter 2014-12-03T21:26:56 @languageeteach @naomishema Such as what? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:27:02 @joannacre Indeed ;-) #ELTchat

Shaunwilden 2014-12-03T21:27:22 @Marisa_C @MarjorieRosenbe i think that is a very imp point #ELTchat
naomishema 2014-12-03T21:27:23 The level of the group also influences the style. when I go really slowly I build things diff. #eltchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:27:25 @SueAnnan I can imagine. We were the ones who experienced the shock when we first got here #eltchat

SueAnnan 2014-12-03T21:28:27 I think being rigid in your T style wouldn't be of benefit #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2014-12-03T21:28:50 @Marisa_C @MarjorieRosenbe Excellent point and should this be discussed or introduced in TT courses? #eltchat
languageeteach 2014-12-03T21:29:01 @ELTwriter @naomishema Sometimes I feel that if you are putting Ss in groups, this is 'best practice' even if it has no real aim #eltchat
