 Re: Forcing young students into talking
Hello!
Oh, I know how stressful your situation is. I often had to face parents like that, and in my old language course, most of the kids have no basic in English.
But the best we can do is to ask them memorize. We gave them a set of dialogues, daily life conversations, and we 'force' them to memorize it by heart. Simple dialogues such as: 'Miss, can I go to the toilet?' or 'Look, Miss, Max is running around and around and around and around!'
No problem for kids since their brain is still like a sponge anyway. I also use body gesture to emphasize the meaning. That way they will know what's going on without really knowing the language, and finally discovers what we really mean in the dialogue.
Hope it helps. Good luck! |
