I've been teaching ESL for a year now in a public school. I play games like bingo, jeopardy, 20 questions, etc... As well as teaching them new vocabulary words and playing games to reinforce them. Sometimes I have them do skits in small groups. My class size is about 40 students. However, my principal says that he doesn't feel that my lessons are productive enough and that my classes are too loud. He would rather have the students stay in there seats and be quiet to learn.

Does any one have any idea on what kind of lessons that I can do for this situation and still keep the students interested? They are 1st grade middle school, and we are more on the country side, so their English is a very low level. Please Help!

Thanks,
