    Approaching and deconstructing stereotypes

    As a teacher, just be fair!

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    Avoiding stereotypes and being prepared

    It can cause the learning environment to over competitive and toxic.
    Students will tend to be biased even teachers if care is not taken.

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    Creating classroom guidelines

    yes
    I love the idea.
    As a teacher, classroom management is very important, and to get the students to obey, you need to outline a series of rules for them to obey.

    The second text is more understandable.

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    Why might delivering a lecture in English take longer?

    1. For my students; the choice of words, checking their understanding.
    And if I'm unable to finish up, we continue the next class.

    seriously don't what do to pace up. I want to learn.

    Pronunciation in EMI classes

    I noticed this a lot and I kept correcting them(my students)
    So, I thought them IPA(International phonetic Alphabet) and transcription.
    With this, every single word pronounced wrongly can be self checked

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    EMI: focus on the voice

    Sometimes I talked flat and slow and sometimes very fast
    it all depends on the numbers of students in the lecture hall.
    The way I speak to 10 students is not the same to 20 students.

    Defining EMI

    Very true, it takes longer time to learn simple grammatical rules.
    Students learning tenses over and over again and some can only write correctly.

    EMI in action: scenario 2 - how do you start in EMI?

    First, the way I deliver as a teacher is determined by my learner
    Their levels in English communication, then, find a suitable teaching methods for them

    yeah, we are good to go

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    EMI in action: scenario 1 - would EMI classes work for you?

    Yes
    it will work
    English is a general acceptable formal form of communication here.
    so the struggle will reduce

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    Assessing when accuracy is important (or less so)

    I love accuracy in language.
    For effective communication, clarity in the place of accuracy; that is when the communicator says a thing, the receiver wont take it for the other.
    As an English teacher, accepting every self morphological words(all varieties) is wrong.
    English is an international language whether as EMI, ELF and the likes. Hence, accuracy is...

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    How important is language accuracy in EMI teaching?

    Hundred percent agree with Rob!

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    What if my students speak better English than me?

    I think every teacher has experienced this one way or the other.
    But what I wont tolerate is disrespect.
    yeah, I'm still the teacher.
    Thank you for the advice Dr.Kristina

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    What kind of language do your students expect you to use?

    Nigeria
    Bristish English

    Yes
    Depends on dialect and idiolect

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    What kind of English do you expect to hear and use in the classroom?

    I encourage my students to communicate like native English speakers.
    Here in Nigeria, interference of our mother tongue has greatly influenced our English speaking ability.
    Sometimes, we tends to add and subtract English words for our own convenience.
    For excellence, I urge them to speak like a native speaker and to enhance effective communication.

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    English as lingua franca (ELF): where has EMI come from?

    ELF obviously gave birth to EMI
    The implications include pronunciations, the use of grammar, and a lot more.

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    EMI where you are

    1. As an instructor,
    my priority is getting better at speaking(diction), writing.
    2. Ability to successfully pass the knowledge to my students without any inch
    3. Already learning here and reading more materials.

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    Why is so much EMI happening now?

    I agree with Dr. Kristina Hultgren. EMI creates networking beyond borders, that is it serves a relevant purpose of speaking with even strangers.
    Yeah, EMI is usefully helping me in conversing here.

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    Defining EMI

    Here in Nigeria, students often have difficulty in learning and speaking proficiently due to interference with their mother tongue. Also, lack of adequate instructional materials for teaching, learning the language is too theoretical here, it usually ends in the classroom.

    As an instructor, this stands as a barrier between me and the students. For the sake...

  • Ariyo Olanike made a comment
    What is EMI?

    I also see the English language as a tool.
    There is a difference between you understanding a language and having the ability to pass the understanding to others.
    I teach English in secondary here, through EMI, I hope to get better at delivering.
