 AH! so many beginner students!
So, I teach an afterschool class of 30 3-4th Grade Korean students. Most have very low English...When I ask "How are you" I get the response "It's sunny." Many also don't listen to me. My classroom is shaped terribly and the front of the class is so far away from many students that half my kids can't hear easily. I'm getting the management part for the most part, except for them listening...but It's high stress for me, and I don't feel like I'm teaching half of them anything. I'm completely on my own and just don't know what to do to keep the ones at the back of the classroom paying attention when no one can really understand me in the first place. Any suggestions? |
