It is more interesting to talk about an authentic box of cereal than simply to look at a picture of a box of cereal. <br />Give your students homework to do, including those grammar worksheets. Don't waste class time doing work that students could do on their own. Their class time is better spent listening to your English and participating in real communication. <br />Allow for occasional translation. If all but a few students understand an abstract word or a particular phrase, allow for a quick translation. It saves time and will help to keep everyone up to speed. <br />Allow your students to speak freely without correcting their mistakes. Let your students know that you will be correcting their mistakes during grammar time but not outside of it. <br />Put your students into small groups to practice what they have learned, to carry out tasks, and to exchange information. <br />Accommodate a variety of learning styles in your classroom. Some people learn best by reading, others by hearing, others by doing. In addition to providing your students with plenty of comprehensible input, be sure to write new vocabulary, grammar points, and phrases on the board for those students who absorb information best by seeing it. To accommodate those in your classroom who learn best by doing, incorporate role-play, physical response activities, and get your students to talk to one another standing up. Moving around also relieves tension.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
