It starts with love. . .

I applied for my Finland job, now I need to finish my TESOL certificate so I can teach online to students in other countries . Wish me luck. There are 65 questions, no time limit, with only 4 tries accepted. I just finished the course. I need a break.

I am working on the WORLD TESOL certification today. . . I finished it and now have a certification.

Though I have a PhD in Technical Writing and TESOL, I cannot find a job, so I am enrolled in World TESOL Academy, so I can teach online around the world. Originally, I taught English in Korea with the richest students in the country, boy’s and girl’s classes after my double BA degress in Spanish and English. They were geniuses and made me want to earn my PhD. Thank you for being Angels. I miss you all, and am crying.

I wanted to be a Spanish teacher, but some how ended up becoming a cinema scholar because K-Dramas were amazing and I was born and raised in Korea.

World TESOL Academy: A TESOL/TEFL Certificate

When I taught a university, the MA Option TESL was the number one major in English for graduate students. My classes on the gamification of learning English were fun, engaging and mindful. However, as soon as I retired due to cancer, it became the least popular major because the teacher that taught my classes was the worst and most boring teacher in the world.

Now it has zero students, and when I returned, they fired me because I cost them too much, being a PhD. I even wrote books on gaming. Enjoy my notes and syllabus information. I am cancer free, but miss teaching. My university is dying, and it may be canceled soon or AI will take over.

Gaming and the Freedom of Flow: Assignment

Students will create an engaging simulation/s or role play to teach lessons on learning English.

Write at least 500–750 words!

Create one or more simulations or role plays. If you create multiple ones, be sure to have them relate or connect in some manner. Someone new to America might need to understand these things. Possibly!

Be original. I would prefer students create an original simulation. Be creative.

Introduction of Originality. Provide a brief introduction, explaining the reason for your choice or creation.

Adaptation. If you do adapt a role play, identify the original source with a link.

Introduction of Adaptation. Provide a brief explanation of what you changed and why.

Zombie Attack from the Center for Disease Control.

This isn’t a TESL role play but could you adapt it into a TESL role play? Look at the link.

Students must identify these elements:

Language Skill/s > Reading, Grammar, Writing, Vocabulary, Speaking, and

Student Level > Elementary, Middle School, High School, University

Debriefing > What problems might occur? Students might start yelling at each other. Cool the students down. Make sure one one’s feelings are hurt. Think about this.

Choose a focus:

Learning about Culture: Holidays, Diversity.

Learning about Health and Wellness.

Learning about American Government or History.

Learning about Leadership Skills.

Create your own focus.

ENG 4733 — TESL Pedagogy

This course prepares students to work in the field of teaching English as a second language (TESL). First, students will investigate TESL methods, including the creation of games and simulations for the classroom.

Second, students will develop computer-assisted language exercises and simulations. Finally, students will present their research and projects to the class. Prerequisite(s): ENG 1113, 1213

ENG 5733 — TESL Pedagogy

Future teachers of English as a second language (TESL) examine how creativity and research can help develop effective games and simulations for pedagogical purposes. First, students investigate methodologies for creating language games and simulations for the classroom. Second, they develop that knowledge into computer assisted language exercises. Finally, students will present their research and scholarly projects in a class symposium. Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing.

Course Format

This course is divided into four major units which will be allow students to explore the learning power of games and gamification in a timely and thoughtful fashion. Furthermore, the course has a unit on a role play / simulation assignment and another unit for the portfolio assignment.

Within each unit, students will be provided with objectives and assignments. Basically, this course is driven by your own research. However, suggested resources are provided.

Expectations: TESL Pedagogy

Make your move! What will happen next? So how can we make learning more effective?

This class focuses on gaming and gamification by focusing on playing as a way to learn! While games have rules that you follow, gamification is different.

Instead, it celebrates the artifacts of gaming, where the rules are not so important. Basically, the gaming mechanics are used to enhance learning by applying the fun factor. For example, badges can be used as a way to reward student achievement even when there is no game.

So if you don’t think gaming is an effective way to learn, perhaps gamification is for you! Therefore, we will explore engaging activities, thoughtful games, and the ramifications of gamification.

Enjoy!
