Thanks for watching! I would never recommend a product that we don't use ourselves at The Language House. If you head over to Fluentize and use my code CHRIS20, you'll all get 20% off the membership price. This is perfect for teachers who do a lot of private teaching. app.fluentize.com/

Appreciate you so much Chris. You're a lifesaver for so many English teachers across the world!

Why do you not cater to A1 level? Any plans on offering non video based lessons? My school has no video facilities.

@@NM-mc4rj Thanks for your comment, that's a good question. Video content that is both authentic and suitable for A1 levels is quite complicated due to the nature of authentic videos - bottom level beginners wouldn't have the skills necessary yet to be able to understand videos with any kind of authentic dialogue or conversation, the same way they wouldn't be able to read news stories or articles. Therefore, authentic video content is generally much more suitable and appropriate for intermediate levels and higher (B1, B2, C1). Even pre-intermediate A2 video level video content can be a real challenge to find. While we're not opposed to making materials for beginner levels, as stated, the problem is the availability of video content for it, which is what our niche is focused on. At the current moment, we are exploring ways to develop materials beyond just videos, in which case we could create some beginner level content. As soon as we reach that point, I could let you know. Thanks for your understanding and please let me know if you have any more questions.

Why don't they cater to A1 level? Would be great if they could offer non-video based lessons too. My school has no video facilities.

@@NM-mc4rj I am teaching a wide range of African students.Many of them grew up in camps. Last year I taught Afghans. The African students are lovely, but when people have no schooling at all, it is challenging!!Very hard to find material so I make my own.

Hey Chris! Could you make a video about ways to prepare effective homework, or indication on what books we could study to learn more about it?! And Thank you for your videos!!

Fluentize is usually for A2 and up lessons. I have some videos on beginners that you might find useful. Most of the language content is really basic, it’s more about building up basic language structures and lexis, and for them to begin having simple (but realistic) communication with each other.

this question related to Subordinate Clauses . Sir please pay attention to the question, the example is just to understand the question maybe example is not meaningful Question:----) In dependent clause Has the meaning of "there" been changing? like this sentence which is As:-- There is my friend. Here "THERE" is showing location or place If we write the same Sentence in dependent clause As:- This is the time when "THERE" is my friend. Does the meaning of THERE change to that of a dummy pronoun due to the presence of subordinate clause here or not? If here "There "word changes to dummy, then it is only for this subordinate clause or it will happen in all subordinate clauses as well.

Looks good - but my teaching is with preliterate refugees - no English and no reading or writing of their own language! Would love a video about this level!

Chris, you said "back when I was just a regular teacher". What did you mean by that?

It seems to me lesson planning is borderline impossible, yet everybody on KZread says it's simple. So first we need to get all our materials ready. We need to completely understand the materials of course. Then we need to move the desks around. When the students come in, we definitely need to be making eye contact. And we definitely need to be grinning from ear to ear. Then we need to jump up and down and sing a song, so they don't feel bored. Then we need to do an introduction that has nothing to do with the lesson because we still don't want them to feel bored. Then we do a pre-target language explanation. Then we need to explain to the students how to do some game with the language. Then we need to make sure they are getting the language correct while they do the game in pairs or groups. Then we need to stop the game and explain the target language again, pointing out any mistakes we heard while we monitored them while they played the game. During all this time, we need to have handouts and pictures and fuzzy things around and to put them on a white board to help explain the lesson. Did I miss anything? Do we have classes one right after the other? Do you ever forget the words to the song- perhaps as you're thinking about the "future continuous tense" lesson that at some point you're going to actually focus on? To me, it seems kind of difficult. What happens when you're jumping up and down like a monkey singing a song and they don't feel like singing? Isn't it exhausting?

Lesson planning is definitely tiresome. Having something like Fluentize definitely helps cut back on the planning and hours needed to pull it all together. What you are describing here is more related to the process of teaching itself. My advice is to start using an economy of energy and find ways to set you activities up so that students are doing most of the work for you. A good demo for each activity is all you really need.

How about teaching video
