Slide 3 : TESOL Dr. Ray’s On-Line English Using TESOL techniques to:
CONTROL your class
And
Some activities to
Make your ESL lessons EXCITING!
Slide 4 : TESOL Dr. Ray’s On-Line English Students need to be seated in a horse-shoe shape Traditional rows with the teacher at the front does NOT work. If students know they can not “hide” they will participate freely.
Teacher has eye-contact with each student at all times. I can see YOU!
Slide 5 : TESOL Dr. Ray’s On-Line English Establish CLASS RULES
Students, not the teacher,
need to make these rules.
Teacher must guide students to the rules
that will make the class-room successful.
They are:
NO Mobile phones
Speak ENGLISH ONLY
And
When teacher’s mouth opens,
Student’s mouths close and ears open.
Slide 6 : Dr. Ray’s On-Line English TESOL Note that the rule is
“Speak English only”
It is NOT-”Do not speak native language”
Do NOT give students any perception
that their native tongue is bad or wrong
in any way-Therefore be careful to state the rule
correctly:
ENGLISH ONLY IN HERE
Encourage your students to respect their mother
Tongue- ENGLISH is their SECOND language.
Slide 7 : TESOL Dr. Ray’s On-Line English It’s important that you be friendly
HOWEVER
Especially with young learners and teenagers
It is very important that you present as
STRICT
at the beginning.
It is very easy to mollify your stance later, but if
you allow your students to dominate
the class-room from the beginning, you will never
get back the CONTROL you hope for,
and the students will NOT respect you.
Hard as it may seem- long experience dictates that
STRICT at first pays off big time later.
I am proud to say that my students all love me.
Slide 8 : TESOL Dr. Ray’s On-Line English Do NOT take the instruction to be STRICT to mean
that it is OK to hit a student.
This type of “strict” will lose you respect
very quickly.
There are a number of ways to gain control and
respect, and I will be happy to go into those
procedures in another lesson.
Similarly, never tell a student he or she is STUPID,
and never use demeaning comments
of any type to a student.
Our job is to guide and encourage them, not to
terrify or belittle them.
Slide 9 : Dr. Ray’s On-Line English TESOL The greatest trick in controlling
and motivating your
Classes is:
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
This is the technique that was used by
the Romans, and they controlled the known
world for thousands of years.
You can control your classes with the same
technique.
It sounds difficult, but it is very, very easy when
you know how.
Slide 10 : Dr. Ray’s On-Line English TESOL To implement the system, you need
to DIVIDE your class into at least
TWO teams.
Give the teams names, according to the
ages of the students- better still, ask
the students to suggest team names.
Once the students begin to identify with
their team, you have succeeded in the
first steps of controlling your class.
The next step is to add a competitive
edge so the teams are COMPETING
with each other.
Slide 11 : Dr. Ray’s On-Line English TESOL From now on, you need to make every
activity a competition between the teams.
Score points-make it visual-for children,
a great method is to draw their team
symbol on the board, and add parts to it
for good behavior or wins in games.
For example, if one team is the
“Caterpillars” you can add legs for each
point earned. Be Imaginative.
Now you can see that students enjoy the
competition, and strive to do their best
for their team.
Non-performance earns a scolding from
their team mates.
Slide 12 : Dr. Ray’s On-Line English TESOL This division of a class works just as well
with adults as it does with children.
Adults want to learn English, but they
want to have fun doing it.
If you can allow them a space in which
they can do that, without being inhibited,
they will learn much faster.
Obviously the games you expect adults to
engage in whilst learning English will be
more sophisticated than those you expect
children to use, but adults like to play
games too.
Give them an environment in which its OK
to make mistakes.
Slide 13 : Dr. Ray’s On-Line English TESOL LETS USE A SIMPLE GAME TO
GET STUDENTS USED TO THE
IDEA OF COMPETING.
TWO TEAMS-the “X” team and the
“O” Team.
TIC-TAC-TOE
