Aisle vs Isle - English Grammar - Teaching Tips

 

This video covers the difference between 'aisle' and 'isle'. As these two words have a similar pronunciation and spelling, their usage is often confused. The word 'aisle' is a noun and describes a passage between rows of seats in a church, in a theater, an airplane or between shelves in a supermarket. A suitable example sentece for the word 'aisle' would be: The aisle was crowded with people looking for seats. The word 'isle' is also a noun but has a very different meaning. It usually refers to a small island, such as here: The pirates were in search of the lost isle for buried treasure. As you can see, once you know the meanings of the two words, you will not confuse them as their meanings are very different.


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.

In this unit, I learned many new concepts. I had no idea that there are 7 future tenses. The seven tenses are the future simple, future perfect, future perfect continuous, future continuous, present simple, present continuous, and going to + infinitive. Students can utilize the future simple tense by using fortune tellers or palm readings. Students can utilize be going to + infinitive by making birthday or holiday plans. I learned many more teaching tips that I will incorporate in my classroom. Overall, I found this unit to be very worth while.
