Comments on the types of syllabuses

As far as I can see, there are various types of syllabuses, which cover different aspects of the language learning. But some of them are one-sided and it’s not suitable for the teacher’s work, I should say. The matter is that my students can’t boast a good command of the English language that’s why I have to pay attention to the `multi-strand` syllabus. It is maximally comprehensive and offers a lot of aspects such as classification of topics, tasks, functions, notions, as well as grammar and vocabulary. I find it multisided and very helpful to teachers and learners.
So, to sum it up, to provide a correct and proper approach to the teaching process it is necessary to choose a comprehensive syllable.

My Attitude to the Syllabus

To start with, the syllabus is quite important in our work. But we often forget about it and use only our coursebooks or home-made booklets(metodichkas). I think that Maria and Lilly’s opinions are closer to me. Frankly speaking, working hard, we often forget about the syllabus and pay attention only to our course books and preparing for lessons. So goes the world. But like Joseph, I use some extra materials and activities from different sources, as we should also take into account our students’ needs and make our lessons more attractive and various. In some groups I use metodichkas for lack of authentic coursebooks in this field. But these materials have been taken from Internet.
To add to this, the task is leading me to the idea that it is important and necessary to use the syllabus and it can be very helpful and useful. I’m really ashamed that I don’t pay much attention to it. But I’ll try to change the situation in the near future.

My emotional reflection on the courses

Attending courses every Monday,
It’s different world to all of us.
It’s way to think and change your mind,
And make creative your class.
*******
It’s wonder, beauty, inspiration,
The birth of the new coming day.
It is the teachers’ motivation,
Just magic dream and kind ray.
*******
It is community of minds,
The ways creating your dream.
It’s planet of fantastic flights
Just leading to the bright theme.
*******
Enjoying it the sun is smiling,
Presenting us with gentle days.
The birds are from the south flying,
And we are striving for success.
*******
It’s tender night outside,
And now I’m deep in thought.
The sky is bringing starry light
And leading me to dreamy world.
*******
And let your dreams come true, my dear,
Reviving life of your day.
I think it is a good idea,
Your soul’s vivid, bright ray.

About myself

Dear colleagues, let me introduce myself. My name is Tamara Albertovna Sarkisyan and I graduated from Gorky State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages in 1987.
On this snowy springcoming day I'm glad to greet all of you. Accept my congratulations on the International Women's Day. It's really great to anticipate lovely sunny days when the trees are in full blossom. Isn't it fascinating when nature is awakening from its long tiring sleep and you can hope to enjoy it's amazing minutes full of life and joy.
And like spring, our souls and minds are also awaking to change their familiar world. I believe, all of us are taking pains to improve the teaching methods, but now it is really realizable. No doubt, there are a lot of problems to solve and different aims to achieve. As for me, I am working with future cadaster engineers, lanscape architects, industrial engineers and specialists in social and cultural service and tourism. In addition to this, I participate in the programme" An Interpreter in the sphere of professional communication". Doing this creative and amazing job, I think that my main aim is to teach students to communicate and interact in their general and special fields. of course, it's not an easy matter, I should say. And there are some reasons for that. First of all, some of the students are very lazy and they want to achieve success taking no pains. Secondly, modern students are not very healthy and it also presents a difficulty.
One of the most burning issues for me is to find the most effective ways of teaching to create more meaningful and creative tasks which reflect the needs of the learner. I'm striving to create a new sample of a lesson so that students could feel free and get carried away working with joy and enthusiasm. So, it's the most important to give zest to the lessons. Of course, attending the courses we are trying to do that. All in all, these are the issues to deal with.
