Root Modular Theory & Remaking Stem

Excerpt From Methodology
I am sorry about my tongue and cheek attitude. It sells more books right? I'm not from a traditional teaching college. I was a Political Science Major from Syracuse University, Class of 2009. It depends on what school of thought you come from. But I'm an online 120 Hour Certified TEFL Certificate Teacher. (Teaching English as a Foreign Language)

There's different explanations but the core of my argument is this: The theoretical fabric for my word choices is: The New General Service List, free source internet search research. In a nutshell, if you believe Dr. Paul Nation's theory of which he is the General Service List which is the British Dialect Vernacular; The New General Service List is American English Vernacular.

The theory is this: If I reorganized the English language into a spread sheet and reordered it based on theoretical assumptions that certain words show up more frequently in certain categories like English Fiction books. Then is it accurate to say? That these words have more weight, that you should learn then first. And I said yes, absolutely!

Part 2: What do you mean by that?

International TEFL has different schools of thought: Grammar focus or fluency focus. I chose both with fluency first.

So there's different approaches to lesson plans. Here are my precepts:

A) Select 14-22 Common words for a category, For example Number!

B) Create a Picture Dictionary

C) Make an activity or worksheet where learners can practice the language usage

D) Create as many as possible immersive activities like games or dialogues for learners to practice the target vocabulary

E) If you can fit in grammar, then you got to squeeze it somewhere.

F) Rinse & Repeat

Sincerely Yours,
