Re: Thesis Proposal
I'm getting ready to write my thesis, and I would like to write something relevant to ESL. But, I seem to be having a bit of a problem getting started. I'm stumped!
Here's the catch, it has been 20 years since I last studied under a structured system. (With this, I hope you can see the "gap" I have). I enrolled this semester to obtain a Master's Degree in English. I have been teaching ESL under a non-structured setting for 8 years. Conversational English (a.k.a. Survival English), is what I would like to expound on.
Can anybody, teaching this subject, cite any specific problems based on their students?

Well, first: I don't see Conversational English and Survival English as related at all. Conversational English is an ongoing program designed to help the student attain fluency in the spoken language. In many non-English-speaking countries, students can be well educated in grammar, composition and/or reading, yet remain behind in the ability to communicate in the spoken tongue: that is where the value of a conversational English course comes in.

- Survival English is a crash course for travellers or those who will soon work abroad or work with English speakers.
- It is designed – as its title makes clear – to give the student some basic vocabulary and grammar for daily necessities: restaurant, hotel, transportation, basic daily and business phrases.
