I think there is growing pressure here for more 'showing off' as well. China does pay well, but they have gotten very strict with visa regulations so for NNES it has become much harder to find work. Try in some of the smaller cities though, I hear there are legal visas available for NNES in smaller cities because it's so much harder to find teachers there. I don't know any more details than that but it's worth looking into!

Hi Gino, thanks for watching! For China the visa requirements are that you be a holder of a passport frame native speaking country, hold a 120 hour TEFL certificate, and have two years teaching experience. For non-native speaking countries, I believe you can still get a visa if you hold a masters degree from a native speaking country. They have become very strict in China regarding teaching visa and working legally, so I only recommend teaching here if you are able to get a legal teaching work visa. I hope that helps! 😊

Hi. I'm Charlotte. I teach in Korea. I usually have 6 or 7, ten minute classes, back-to-back with no breaks in between, with preschoolers. I often have problems with kids being too noisy and talkative. How can I manage my classes AND teach my target material in such a limited time space, without totally exhausting myself? Could you make a video covering this scenario? Thsnks.

@MooncakeEnglish

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Charlotte, thanks so much for getting in touch. AGE GROUP It's a little difficult to say without knowing too many details but generally speaking with preschoolers there is a huge difference between a 2-4-year-old and a 4-6-year-old and each age group needs to be approached differently. 2-4-year-olds need a lot of songs, chants, and TPR. Everything you do should be presented with some kind of chant or song and then repeated several times over several classes. In terms of games, you should avoid team games for this age group as they just don't understand the concept of competition. You can try some activities on this playlist: kzread.info/head/PLWnDxOCiXGirh7yuS5QZCrSUeWI9ospjF They should work for this age group and within your ten-minute window. Remember to repeat activities over several classes so they can learn how to play, leaving more time to focus on the target language. 4-6-year-olds on the other hand, love team games where they get to compete with their peers or the teacher. Again, however, because you have just ten minutes I would teach one game and then play that game repeatedly over several classes so that they understand how to play and you then have time to focus on the target language. Try games such as Switch: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z3-Co4-Lk9q7hbQ.html Silly Banana: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l32r28SIk9G3drA.html or Fruit Salad: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6B8zLGkdrzIkps.html As these games are quick, easy, and get the whole class involved. TIME Overall ten minutes is a very short English class, especially for the older students. It doesn't leave enough time for practice. So you will need to have a simple attention grabber and activity to get your target language across. Repetition is also very important and depending on how often you have class per week, you will need to repeat the exact same class for up to two weeks. This means you're not just introducing something new every class which gives students a chance to practice the material. It also means that students will learn a game and that you won't need to spend ten minutes explaining a game every class. CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT I have a video where I go through some top classroom management tips right here: kzread.info/head/PLWnDxOCiXGiqAwjJsnX2OOIRoqEc1jxCM I hope this all helps!

Hi Tony, thanks for watching and welcome to the Mooncake community!

I won't let my students reply with "I'm fine" until they've developed a good habit of answering with great, good, ok, not good, or bad. "I'm fine" becomes a crutch with which students mindlessly respond - not just children but college students as well. When this response is combined with the wrong tone as it often is in China, it sounds a bit rude or at the very least unnatural. My older students practice a variety of greeting/ conversation starters such as "how are you," "how's it going," and "how are you doing." The goal is to give them a variety of natural greetings and responses to choose from so as to break up the monotony and robotic answers.
