Default Re: one-on-one class help me

Hi Zashi,

I'm not a children's ESL teacher, but I'll chip in.

They are really young, at that age they hardly know their own language yet, so you'll really have to grade your language. Maybe you can cover in English some of the things they are learning in their own language - colours, numbers - they'll get excited when they know the answers.

Also, if they want to play, let them play, but try to incorporate some English into the games. "You won!" , "very good"

I have to share a story a fellow ESL teacher told me about his time in Japan. He had to give a demo lesson with five year old kids - with their parents watching. Well, the kids just jumped all over him and pulled his shoes off and he couldn't control them at all. He thought the demo was a distaster, but the parents loved it. They said it was the most fun their kids had ever had!
