- - -> TO TEACH STANDARD ENGLISH OR WORLD ENGLISHES? A BALANCE APPROACH TO INSTRUCTION.
A researchable article by Thomas S.C.Farrel and Sonia Martin have presented that how the linguists and the teachers of English language move on the recent day modern world. The article suggests to give the value for other regions' languages as well as British English and American English.
*According to article, MacArthir maintains, standard English has at least three identifying characteristics :
(1) It is easiest to recognize in print because written conventions are similar worldwide.
(2) It is usually used by news presenters.
(3) Its usage relates to the speaker social class and education.
English LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION as
*Absence of possessive inflections : "My mummy friend."
*Use of particles, "Hurry up lah!"
*Use of borrowings, "Don't be so kaisu."
*Inversion for questions with be, "you don't want to go, is it?"
*Inversion for questions with can, "Like that can or not?"
(1) Teachers need to carefully consider their teaching context.
(2) Teachers should value their learners' current English usage.
(3) Teachers need to prepare learners for future international English
encounters.

I like the title USING PUBLIC SPEAKING TASKS IN ENGLISH
LANGUAGE TEACHING , which is more impressive and I consider
that language is improving by the speaking to public.
The advantages of public speaking are:
(2) Public speaking supports developments of critical skills.
(3) Public speaking promotes learning.
When I reach at page no. 30, I accepted to Natalia Orova of Jan
Evangelista Durkyne University in Ustinad la Labem(The Czech
Republic). The recording helps the teachers who are pre stage or the
beginners can have chance to see or listen own teaching activities.
The professor has provided the point of views on
* What is reflective teaching and why is it important?
*When should critical reflection start?
*Video recording as a stimulus for critical reflection.
*Steps for Video recording and self viewing.
*Outcome of recording and reflecting for pre-service teachers.
