Be a GREAT English Teacher by Mastering These 15 Skills

There is a lot to learn if you want to teach English well. These are the 15 most important skills Language teachers should work on to be great in the classroom.
A tremendous amount of time in teacher training is spent on the academic side of teaching, while most of the core teaching skills are ignored.
In reality, your lessons will shine or fade depending on the specific skills and techniques you employ in class.
In the video, we cover, Creative Material Creation, STT (Student Talking Time), Engaging Students, Pace & Flow, Eliciting, and a host of other concepts.

When I started teaching, I found that once I began to analyse the language more deeply, such as understanding what "be" actually means and when... Then there was a whole universe of material and perspectives to explore with the students! From the macro levels down to the micro-levels, through to figuring out how to graphically depict grammar (as a tool to represent situations accurately, rather than it being just a mindless set of parroted rules), and so much more. My point is, teachers can get out of tricky situations by figuring out, in depth, when not in the classroom. what it actually "is" that they are actually teaching about, using words. Seeing a student understand that "big" actually means "using a lot of space", and "bigger" means "using more space", and then "the biggest" means "using the most space", instead of just parroting the words "big", "bigger", "the biggest" - is extremely gratifying. *_What do English words actually refer to?_* It's a big question that is not answered by simply parroting dictionaries. It is a thought exercise that enriches the teacher's own understanding and philosophy, quite profoundly. And one that leads to a myriad of options of ideas, and activities, when inexperienced teachers get stuck.

Hi Chris! I teach ESL in Brazil. My classes are all online with only one student at a time. Private English lessons for adults. I've been an ESL teacher for 7 years, and been doing my thing online for three. Do you have any resources on that? I'd love to improve. I'd love to pay for some feedback on my classes. They work fine, but I know there is room to improve.

[@jonitadonque9255]

Hi Chris, why is it that you invite us to join classes but don't reply emails. Do you have special email address different from the one on your website?

[@TheLanguageHouseTEFL]

It should be the same. Can you send me an email now and I can look to see if I get it?

[@user-lo7gw8rs8l]
