 Re: Very young learners
Do you have a teaching assistant at all? By the sounds of it, you don't have 1.
I would try address the problem with the school and/or your teaching assistant and tell them that you need a better controlled class in order for a better result.
And it seems like the enjoy reading book. Do you happen to have any English picture story books that you could read to the children? Maybe involve TPR in the reading.
I teach a kindergarten class twice a week and have roughly 10 students per class (some come and go alot, I dont really understand) and I often bring candy into the classes and tell them that if they behave well and learn the words well, that I will give them a piece at the end of the class. Of course I keep the bag of candy in my pocket so if they get a little rowdy, I just bring the bag out and they remember.
Anyway good luck. I would imagine that this would be difficult for a new teacher. |
