Love these. One thing that always amazes me is how creators like us can make the same video with totally different ideas. Great job. I love the transitions and how you get straight to the point.

A lot of things can't be made with ordinary classes where students have to remain seated, but I picked up the few that fit, thanks !
I am teaching English in Vietnam as a part time job aiming to develop an online English school. Thank you so much. In fact, I find easy to teach or run my "business" when applying your tips. It really works. I keep watching your videos before teaching my students.

This is my favorite channel 👍💐
Write numbers, names ,dates and some ticks and crosses for yes and no. Students guess the sentences they belong to. For example a tick,”You’re married.” Make it a competition for how many correct, or correct English, or a written exercise as a diagnostic or to practice the language.

Hi Electine - you'll want to break the class into chunks - do icebreaker, then teach concept or grammar, practice with students, give them activity to practice, feedback: students share what they've learned, play game to check understanding. I hope this helps!
Thank you so much

I hope you can make a video to talk about how to teach English grammar to kids. I’m quite confused that which way to teach it easily and effectively for kids. Because they’re too young to get a wide range of complicated grammar.

My plan is to make an entire series on teaching grammar next year. I'm still working on it and will require a lot of time. But I hope once it's done it can help a lot of teachers out there. 🙏
What sort of ice breakers would you recommend for teachers starting at a new school on their first day?
@etacude

For young learners try the M&M game. You'll have to buy a few small packets per group of learners ~ but they enjoy it. For older students I let them interview, and introduce a partner. 😄
thank you very much for your efforts and If you can make a video about how we can teach slow learners reading and writing i will be grateful

Never put the students in lines according to their height. This may trigger some insecurities.

I understand, Saniyat. This is especially difficult for students that are either really short or tall, and other students might tease them about it. But what should we do? We won't always be there to shield them from bad feelings. Instead we should see it as a teaching opportunity - explain to students that making fun of it may be hurtful, also help the student take control and improve their self image by teaching strategies to deal with it. 😄
