Teaching a child for the first time

Posted by Beatrix · May 20, 2008 · 4 replies

I have never actually taught anybody younger than sixteen so I'm really in trouble now

Could anyone actually describe me how an English lesson with a kid that young should look like ?
Please help!

PS. it's one on one, of course. there is plenty of ideas on the internet, but only for teaching groups of kids

you did not tell the exact age..anyway im a philippine and yu know when i was studing english its really more effective learn while understanding the meaning of each word...sometimes you should translate english word to korean(if youre teaching a korean child) to let them understand and its a great feeling for her/him learning this way(he can actually can express also himself in english)..so try giving vocabularies then after that you can follow teaching grammar
i dont know if this helped u but i wish somehow it did
try this site (translated koreanexpressions)
nasedek - basic korean expressions

no worries, sedek, the problem is solved. thanks for your help anyway. 🙂

btw. the child is seven (now)

How did you solve the problem?

I started working in a private language school which had plenty of coursebooks for children, so I just photocopied some of them 🙂 (with other teachers' permission of course)
