Dear prospective teachers of English
.I wanna give a helping hand before the interview day, so be ready to answer the examiners' questions.
during the interview, maybe your examiners will ask you the questions in English langu age or Arabic or maybe in French. These examiners can be inspectors of the English langu age, when you answer their questions, the first thing they check is your mastery of the langua ge , they won't give good marks for those who don't speak the langu age very well, how someone will be a teacher of English if he, himself or herself, does not speak the lang age very well and makes grammatical mistakes. so be careful.,
The general questions that they may ask are: Where did you study English or in which university did you study English? when did you graduate from university?
have you taught English Langu age before? or do you have any professional experience in English Lang uage teachig? for how long time have you taught English? Here; try to be cool and calm and answer these questions without being afraid because the examiners are checking your English..
Other questions may be asked such as: what is the approach that is applied now in the Algerian educational system in general and in English Lang uage teaching in particular? ( the Competency- Based Approach ) or CBA
How would you define this new Approach or how would you define the Competency-Based Approach? What are the major aspects or features of this approach? do you like teaching? How would you deal with your pupils especially the weak ones
I think that these are the most important questions and good luck for everybody.
PS: concerning Competency-Based-Apprach , google it and you'll find more. And also class management . .
NB: CBA is a LEARNER- CENTRED approach , it's different from the previous teaching approaches which are TEACHER- CENTRED approaches. It means that the pupil or the leaner is the MOST important element in the teaching/learning process.
GOOD LUCK .
