Tips for Effective Teaching

Education
The most difficult thing in teaching is to get students paying attention to you. Teachers are public figures who encounter hundreds of students per day if working full time and confront with parents' complains can

be a headache to the teachers sometimes, so, how do a teacher teach effective lesson so as to avoid minimum complains from students and parents? Recently, I read a book by Penny Ur (1996) who teaches the teacher or educator on ways of keeping effective presentation. Ur teaches four important areas that a teacher must pay attention to when conduct the lesson: 1. Attention - The need to ensure the students paying attention to the lesson is important. So, interesting materials are the key to alert the students. 2. Perception - Making clear the target material visibly, repeating in order to get reinforced by the students and checking the students if they have perceived the material accurately. 3. Understanding - Make links to previous materials, and explain. Making illustration, responses from the students provide feedback on how well they understood. 4. Short-term memory - Colours, dramatic, unique in ways can elicit short-term memory. Types of students should be emphasised: Good in memory, audio and visual students. A teacher's job is to mediate new material for students to perceive and understand it. The word presentation is used to define the mediation. A teacher is to:

1. Limit and control the target item when introducing a new word or grammatical structure. 2. Using explanations, instructions and discussion to maximize the input of the students. 3. Using effective spoken and written texts.
