Default Re: when they don't speak...

I will have my first offical parent's class tomorrow. I had one last week where it was just an introduction but naturally enough they were stand offish. I will use some sponge balls which they will throw to each other while asking and answering, "What is your name?", "My name is..."

For adults, especially new students you have to try and make it as enjoyable as possible. Deep down inside they are a bunch of kids too!! Also pick some book for them to use but use some games too so that they are both learning and having fun.

In Korea, if they don't have a book in class then they don't think that they are learning so keep that in mind too.
