How to Pronounce 'CATEGORICAL' - English Pronunciation

 

In this episode, we cover the pronunciation of the word categorical. This word is used as an adjective and means explicit and direct. It comes from the Greek word kat?goria meaning ?statement?.


Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

From the unit, I have an overview of teaching methodology, especially ESA. I've learnt different patterns of EAS and the error correction techniques. Teachers should not correct students immediately, but should let students correct themselves at first, and then let peers correct each other. Finally, teachers could correct students. I've also learnt different patterns of ESA.I have many ideas on how to improve listening skills, given that many of my students will be studying to gain employment in English-speaking countries. The Tom Cruise example allowed me to visualize how I would go about using a podcast as a potential listening activity, pre-empting any problematic vocabulary and asking students to research podcast on their own to present on.
