النشرات التربوية   Useful Directives and Bits of Advice for All Teachers   Teachers are kindly requested to put their pupils in situations in which they try to express themselves effectively, creatively and fluently. A situation is communicative if it helps to bridge what is called an information gap. The current trend in the teaching of English aims at making pupils acquire communicative competence which means their ability to use appropriate forms of appropriate ways. According to their current trend, the English language can be divided into two phases; learning the forms and then, learning how to use them. This means that it is not quite essential to marry the two phases for the sake of good teaching.     Teachers should bear in mind that a learner who makes mistakes because he is trying to do something he has not been told or shown how to do, or which he has not yet given the chance to master, is not really making mistakes at all.      If the teacher is all the time limiting and interrupting his pupils for correction, he will destroy their confidence and their ability to use the language effectively and correctly. This means, in the end, that there should be time when teachers may interrupt to correct and when teachers tolerate mistakes for a more important aim. If the teacher is intelligent, he will be able to decide when he has to be after accuracy and when after fluency, he will be doing his work successfully and saving time as well.      We believe that Allah will reward and bless us, if we do our best in our task.     Sincerity and honesty are available and every one should be honest and sincere. - You should pay more attention to the aims of teaching English. - Prepare yourself well and a written preparation is a must. - Pronounce words correctly according to the native speakers pronunciation. - A revision work should be planned carefully. - We should use audiovisual aids to attract our pupils attention. - Written work needs more care as well as marking should be adequate. - Read some specialized books of methodology for teaching English as a foreign language. - The pupils must be given the maximal chance of the class time to participate in varied activities in order to practice the four skills of learning English. - Please, start your lesson on time and you should use the whole lesson time to maximum effects.        - You should use different aids when you are in need to use them. - We should ask ourselves what was expected in the time allowed. - Choose simple problems and ask pupils to solve them in groups. - Let the pupils guess the meaning of words and structures. - Correct your pupils’ notebooks carefully. - Treat your pupils kindly. - Manage the class perfectly. - Execute your lessons in pure English rather than falling into pits of translation which will diminish your teaching skills and waste your time and efforts. -         Remember that what is new is not necessarily better. -         Try to present techniques that encourage conversations rather than recitations. -         Teaching is more of an art than science. -         Attempt to find ways to encourage students to talk and write about the things that interest them most.     English Supervisor :                          Director of the Eastern Supervision Center: Uthman Al khouli                                      Saad Alqarni   English Supervisor : Abdallah Alharthi
