Greetings from an American EFL and Spanish teacher in Taipei, Taiwan-also a subscriber. I have been with my Mandarin Training Center teacher for years-1-on-1 lessons-and she knows my entire life story. She relates lessons to when I was in the Army, when I was a kid in Italy, etc. This really helps the grammar and vocabulary stick, just as you say.

I am a classroom teacher and I am learning a lot from you, Teacher Karen. Thank you so much !

I'm so glad! My goal is to help teachers better in what they do. My dream job was to be a teacher. I envy you.

Thank you, Teacha Karen! Great video! I love the running commentary on WHY you're doing what you're doing in the class. Very helpful tips and solid advice.

wow, teacher Karen! I guess to be an ESL teacher means to be a conversationalist too. You must not run out of topics to bring up. Btw, I just finished my demo and self-intro video and am now learning the teaching materials.

That's a great! And yes you are correct, you have to be conversant and you have to be very comfortable in speaking English especially if you are a non-native like me for example.

Thank you 👏🏻🙌

Yes, it all depends on the student. Siguro nasa approach nalang paano natin icorrect. Start with a positive comment followed by a negative one then end with another positive comment, that's the sandwich approach.

Ate requires po ba na fluent ka mag speak in English?

I love this video Teacha Karen. Nakaka intimidate talaga ang mga students na mas matanda sayo at kapag tinanong mo "What do you do?" sagot nila, "Engineer, project manager, etc". Yung alam kong mas mataas na ang narating kaysa sa akin. Then ako 23 years old palang at wala pang nararating. Kaya hindi ko tinake yung Business English at IELTS and TOEFL sa self-study courses kasi di ko siya kayang ituro 😂😂

Kaya mo yan, it's all about faking it til you make it, make sure you do not give away your power, don't make them feel na pwede ka nila kaya kayanin, when I was your age I was already teaching students who were 55-60s, live class pa yun, lahat sila they were trying to intimidate me, but in the end, we because allies and good friends :)

Your teaching tips are great and really helpful.But how can we create and find the materials suitable for learners’ goal or objective for studying English.Materials matter..they are very crucial for classes.Could you please say how can we find and get or create materials?

It's all about faking credibility. You must continue to work on improving your knowledge of English so that when you teach you would really be an expert on the language and your AGE will not matter at all :) At the end of the day, you are BETTER in English and you have something to give that they don't have :)

Hindi naman, lahat yan courses muna bago mag exam, usually ang exams may 21 retake options, except for TESOL. The reason why you were asked to take them is that hindi ka magkakaron ng student kung hindi mo siya matake kasi parang certification siya
