The virtual classrooms was about how does the Arabic language
influence pronunciation of English language the name of the presenter is Peggy,
she is American English consultant trainer and teacher, specializing in English
speaking and listening skills she hold a PHD degree in education, a master
degree in teaching English as a scorned language. Peggy had an American pronunciation
center and she taught ESL and EFL in the U.S.,
Turkey, Italy, Switzerland, and Mexico. She has a deep understanding of
pronunciation challenges and solutions for people developing their proficiency
in English. She has helped many people to understand and
create the American English sound, and give some ways to keep working and
improving their sound after they are done. In these virtual
classrooms there was two classes, the students’ number between 15 to 20
students. Also there was two teachers. It
was for one hour.
I learned from these virtual rooms that The Phonetic in Arabic and English
and What is the different between Arabic sound system and English which make
the difficulties to pronounce the English sound for Arabic speaker and vies verse.
Moreover she gave some solution
for wrong Arab pronunciation also she assumed that active listening are the
most useful way to distinguish between the similar sounds.
There are a lot of advantages for using the virtual classrooms the important
advantage are that different classes can join in one virtual classrooms that
make it more useful for a lot of people. The students can share their opinions
and thought without interrupting the speaker. The students can see lecture or
the lesson when they need it and show it to anyone who interest. In addition we
can learn from others knowledge in the world.
And the disadvantages of
virtual rooms in the language classroom are some time the students will feel confusing
because there are more than one leader so I think that will be useful for adult
student not for a children and also maybe they will not understand the accent
of the presenter especially if she or he do not know the level of the students
in English language.
These is very interesting way to teach the students which i will use it in my classroom because that will
engage the students to the lesson quickly and make them more attention. Also they can contact
with each other and with the teacher or presenter in the same time i think that is good idea. Moreover I can use
it to give them some examples of other people or to help them to understand the
class clearly or to show them others experience that will help them to learn
from others knowledge in the world in
