TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and TESOL strategies refer to a variety of teaching techniques and approaches that are used to help learners acquire English language skills. Here are some of the principal TESOL strategies:

1. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT): This approach focuses on teaching language in context, with an emphasis on communication and interaction between learners. CLT emphasizes the use of authentic materials and real-life situations to promote language learning.
2. Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT): This approach involves teaching language through tasks that simulate real-life situations. Learners work together to complete tasks, which require the use of language to achieve the task objective.
3. Content-Based Instruction (CBI): This approach involves teaching language through subject matter content, such as science or social studies. CBI integrates language instruction with the teaching of subject matter, making language learning more meaningful and relevant.

  4. Grammar-Translation Method: This is a traditional approach to language teaching that focuses on teaching     grammar and vocabulary through translation exercises. This approach is less communicative and interactive than the other strategies listed above.

5. Audio-Lingual Method: This is another traditional approach to language teaching that emphasizes the memorization and repetition of language patterns through drills and exercises. This approach is less communicative and interactive than the other strategies listed above.

It's worth noting that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to TESOL, and different strategies may be more effective for different learners and contexts. Effective TESOL strategies should be flexible, adaptable, and tailored to the needs of the learners.

It's difficult to predict the future of cram schools in Korea, as it will depend on a variety of factors such as the development and adoption of AI technology, cultural attitudes towards education, and changes in the job market. However, it's worth noting that AI technology is still in its early stages, and it is unlikely to completely replace human teachers in the near future.

While AI technology can be effective in providing personalized learning experiences and automated feedback, it may not be able to replace the nuanced and dynamic interactions between human teachers and students. For example, human teachers can provide emotional support, respond to questions and feedback, and create a sense of community in the classroom that may be difficult to replicate with AI technology.

Furthermore, in many cultures, there is a strong preference for in-person, face-to-face instruction and a belief that human interaction is essential for effective learning. This preference may continue to drive demand for human teachers in the future, even as AI technology advances.

In summary, while AI technology may have some impact on the demand for human teachers in cram schools, it is unlikely to completely replace them. It is more likely that AI technology will be used to supplement and enhance human teaching, rather than replace it entirely.

Teaching English reading to high school students can be a challenging task, but there are several strategies that you can use to help make the process more effective and engaging. Here are some tips:

1. Start with assessment: Before beginning any instruction, it's important to assess the current reading level of your students. This will help you understand their strengths and weaknesses and tailor your instruction accordingly.
2. Use a variety of texts: High school students have a wide range of interests and reading abilities, so it's important to provide them with a variety of texts to read. This can include fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and news articles.
3. Encourage active reading: Encourage students to actively engage with the text by highlighting or underlining key ideas, making notes in the margins, and asking questions. This can help them better understand the material and retain more information.
4. Scaffold instruction: Use scaffolding techniques to help students work through difficult texts. This can include providing vocabulary lists, graphic organizers, and guiding questions to help students understand the material.
5. Focus on reading comprehension: Reading comprehension is a critical skill for high school students, so be sure to teach strategies for identifying and understanding the main ideas, supporting details, and author's purpose.

1. Incorporate technology: High school students are often highly proficient with technology, so consider using online resources, audio books, and other digital tools to help engage them with the material.
2. Provide opportunities for discussion: Encourage students to discuss the text with each other, either in small groups or as a whole class. This can help them better understand the material and also develop their critical thinking and communication skills.

Overall, teaching English reading to high school students requires a combination of effective instruction, active engagement, and a variety of resources to meet the diverse needs of students.

a. Discuss the differences between the Comprehension Approach and the Communicative Approach.

The comprehension approach emphasizes the process of learning a language as a baby does. This concept is similar to the direct approach, suggesting that learners need to have some time to get enough input before they can output the target language. Listening to a target language and lowering the effective filter is a very important key in this concept. Teachers help their students understand what they are saying without translation by repeating commands and using physical actions.

On the other hand, in the communicative approach, It is said that people don't have much time to learn a language like a baby does. This concept focuses on effectiveness and practicality when learning a language. Teachers can use games, high interest topics, authentic materials, and websites to keep students engaged and interacting in the language. 

b. Which approach most closely aligns with your current teaching style?

To be honest, neither concept is consistent with my teaching style. But the communicative approach is closer to my style because I can't afford to give enough listening periods to my students whose main interest is just to get a good grade in their exams. To make my students engaged in learning, I try a lot of strategies using authentic materials, language games, role play, information gaps, etc. I use interesting leveled books, of course. Studying TESOL is one of my endeavors to make sure that I keep track of new and effective teaching techniques. I feel burdened to satisfy all my students that have different purposes and aims

The communicative Approach (1970-1980)

people were encountering situations where they needed to speak a foreign language more frequently for work or for travel. 

These people didn't have the luxury of time required by the comprehension approach. 

And needed to learn to communicate effectively in the target language.

왜 언어를 배우는 가 - language is a way to get to know different people.  I can communicate with you and 

learn more about you. it's all about connecting people together. Language is a portal, it's a gateway. 

It's a way to understand someone and create a global society of friends. 

어떻게 가르치나 - being always interested in using new strategies and new techniques. To love to stay up on the latest in technology and teacher strategy. 

To read a lot of blogs and even a few journals to make sure my techniques are well accepted. 

A teacher should make learning fun and interesting. the teacher can use games, high interest topics, 

field trips, mobile devices, and websites. 

Whatever it takes to keep students engaged and interacting in the language. 

Teachers need to know about lots of different things as well. 

This gives teachers using this approach a lot of freedom in what they do in the classroom and how they help their students acquire language.

Gamification and fun techniques have become a staple of the communicative approach.

단점 - the communicative approach is so broad that perhaps, one of its biggest problems is that no one can definitively say, what it's techniques and practices are? Furthermore, there is so much information today that it is hard to know where to look. And yet one more difficulty is that teachers are given not only many different strategies, but many different groups with different purposes, different learning styles and teachers are expected to be experts of all of these different contexts. So some people feel the communicative approach really doesn't have clear boundaries. 

Authentic materials

teachers in the communicative approach try to make the language practice in the classroom as close to the real world as possible.

Sequencing activities

To help learners understand and use the communication cues, teachers give students dialogues or paragraphs with the sentences mixed up. And have them put the sentences or utterances back in the correct order

language games

information gap

role plays

a. Explain why you agree or disagree with the Cognitive Approach.

I disagree with the cognitive approach. this approach was derived from not learners but researchers' lab, which makes me feel like this approach is not interested in learners as a human being. Most researchers were not teachers at that time, they must not have known about the real teaching and learning circumstances. If a student makes some grammar errors, what a teacher has to do is just to teach the rule of grammar. If the errors are repetitive, the teacher teaches the rules repetitively! From this point of view, if you can make your students practice language rules repeatedly, you don't need a teacher's teaching skills, and it seems that anyone can teach. This view overlooks the fact that in real-life classrooms the teacher's energetic energy, thorough class strategy, and a motivational word have a great influence on learning.

b. Explain why you agree or disagree with the Affective Humanistic Approach.

I agree with the affective humanistic approach. unfortunately, my students are not young enough to have enough time to learn from using this approach, but if my class consists of younger learners, I will apply this strategy in full measure to my class. I have had many experiences of not being able to speak English properly because of the fear of mistakes. It seems the most natural and ideal way to provide the learner with the most comfortable environment possible and not to be afraid of making mistakes, which leads to immerse himself comfortably in language learning. It will require more time and effort from teachers to prepare for aromas, music, art, and various activities, but from a learner's point of view, it seems that he can learn the language joyfully without stress. Can there be anyone who doesn't want to learn in this way?

c. What techniques can you apply in your classroom that align with your preferred approach?

I can apply the positive reinforcement technique in my class. In fact, I often meet students who hate making mistakes, and I don't get surprised, irritated, or upset when they are wrong. When students' mistakes were treated as if they were not a big deal, the students became more tolerant of their mistakes and were more comfortable with speaking a language that they were learning. Also, I can apply the multiple concerts technique, too. I think this technique is good for improving listening skills, English writing, and grammar skills altogether naturally.

a. Discuss the differences between the Grammar Translation Approach and the Direct Approach.

The target learners are young men in wealthy families in the Grammar translation approach, but anyone who wants to know another culture in the world can be a learner in the direct approach. The former approach puts importance on the great books in Latin and Greek, but the latter approach puts importance on being immersed in daily activities like a baby learning his or her mother tongue. Teachers who favor the grammar-translation approach make students translate a book into the students’ first language and translate it back to the original language the students are learning. On the other hand, teachers who prefer the direct approach let the learners play a leading role in their learning progress with a variety of verbal exposures. The grammar-translation approach places more emphasis on writing and reading than on speaking and listening, but the direct approach emphasizes speaking and listening.

b. Which approach most closely aligns with your current teaching style?

The grammar-translation approach closely aligns with my current teaching style. I think the direct approach is more desirable for learners aged under 12 than the grammar-translation approach. The students in my class are between 13 and 19 years old, so their reading comprehension ability and writing skills are very important in their school curriculum. the techniques derived from the grammar-translation approach are very useful when I teach my students. Especially reading comprehension questions and filling in the blanks and writing compositions help my students get a better grade in their exams.
