That last little girl's conversational skills are awesome!

[@MytAvila]

indeed, i'm impressed

[@teacherlisa163]

You are such a Pro at taping, Sweet Nancy! They don't miss a thing, do they! "May I ask you a question?" (Yes.) "What did you put on your lips?" :) This little girl has amazing speaking skills! :)

[@NancyTaylor]

I love my student, Nancy:) Such a sweetie!

[@ZeynabuLeVon]

Hilarious ... talking about vegetables and then eating chips! I loved how with the second student (Nancy) the act of you putting on chap stick caught her attention and led to a really nice conversation in English. It showed comprehension through a real-life connection. That was amazing to see ... and it wasn't even planned!

[@b.l.6349]

Omg, you are so amazing!!! Thank you so much for your help!! ❤️

[@ericasebald1981]

Your videos are so helpful, thank you so much for posting them!

[@ricardogarrido2008]

thank you for sharing!! really helpful!!!

[@TheEternalperspectiv]

This is such a great video!! I love the tip about having the students listen to audiobooks to help with pronunciation!!!

[@Kasey.Donahue]

I'm brand new to this and your videos are so helpful!

[@dodalton1]

Your videos are super helpful and well done! I love the made up the language to illustrate how effective TPR and modeling are. Genius! My first mock class is scheduled for today and I've been watching your vids all week so I feel well prepped. Thank you!

[@zubieM]

What a great video! I am about to start my teaching English journey so I appreciate the help :) thank you 💜

[@mindsetcoaching101]

Thanks Nancy.

[@Laura-cw2uw]

Oh wow! So helpful! Thank you! This addressed my concern about transitioning students from 50/50 to 70/30. Also, I'm very impressed by the older student that was able to carry on a conversation. I liked how you responded to her question and then were able to bring the focus back to the task at hand.

[@priscillahughes2152]

Perfect!! It really helps to see how you get them to extend their answers without you actually speaking again, I always seem to lose a lot of my 70/30 ratio by having to ask them to speak more, your tips will help! Thank you

[@paredesrachelmaec.8525]

Thank you teacher nancy for the lessons, it helped me a lot in my demos for ECE:)

[@SteveRobin1]

Audio books indeed my favorite thing to recommend.

[@nikkiduncan1050]

Your videos are awesome! Thank you

[@NancyTaylor]

Thanks for watching!

[@fabianooliveirasouza9716]

Thanks!

[@ivanediniz7716]

I pretty love your videos, they are very simple and clear. You have given to me great tips. Thanks a lot, Nancy! You are the best.

[@NancyTaylor]

Awesome! Thank you!!

[@jameytechsan7622]

Thank you for these great videos. They are super helpful, and I am glad that you show the classroom examples as well.

[@NancyTaylor]

So happy to hear Jamey! Thanks for your comments:) I emailed you!

[@andrewhoban9800]

Thanks Nancy, good videos. I'm "veg-watching" trying to prepare to take my classroom online. You have so much teaching equipment at home!

[@NancyTaylor]

hahaha! Veg-watching!!:)

[@tanyagoncalves645]

LOVE your tips. Very fun, interactive and above all useful - Way to go (Shared :))

[@NancyTaylor]

Thanks so much!

[@marla030steph]

Hey Nancy I just wanted to say these videos are really helping me a lot!! I’ve always thought about becoming and ESL teacher and soon I’ll be tutoring my neighbors daughter who mostly speaks Spanish. I wanna make the most of if right now since I’m currently in high school so then I can at least have some little experience for the near future. Thank you so much for your videos !

[@NancyTaylor]

What a great opportunity! Good luck!

[@carlymadsen8430]

Thank you so much for your videos! I am a new teacher and wanting to be better about increasing student output. I loved how you were able to answer your students question about the chapstick expand a little and then bring it back to the lesson. Where do you find your balance of responding students questions and not remaining "off-topic" for too long? Any tips?

[@sophiesassen9287]

OMG I love your videos!!!! I'm studying to become a primary school teacher in Germany with the subject English. With your videos I've learned more than at University... You're doing such a good job!!!

[@NancyTaylor]

That is so wonderful to hear! Good luck with your training and studies!!

[@stephanierearick2179]

Nancy, I am about half way through a masters program for elementary education and my current class is all about ELLs. I have been listening to all of your strategies and they have helped me so much with my assignments and understanding. I am a very visual learner and although I am on medication for ADD, I still sometimes struggle, for example, I always need things explained VERY thoroughly. The way you talk about these strategies is on point with all the text I am reading and I love the way you demonstrate for those watching your video and then with students. I also love how you show a couple different ability levels. I don't normally comment on anything but I wanted you to know how helpful you have been to me and I have shared your videos with my class, online, and they have loved them as well! Thank you!!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Oh boy, your comment truly made my day. Thank you for taking the time and I'm so so happy to hear the videos help you! :)

[@cdwill3]

You have helped me so much. I like your exercise videos too! I'm 55 and definitely not pregnant ,but the low impact is great! Thank you!

[@NancyTaylor]

So happy to hear! I instruct on www.bootcamphub.com and many of my members said the same thing:) hehehe! The average member is female and 47:) I love them if you are every interested in joining! So glad you have joined me on KZbin!! Woot, woot!

[@TheLanguageLady]

Thank you for this video. It's so important to increase student engagement. I did a similar one on my channel as well. Do you use sentence frames as well?

[@sladjanavidovic7047]

Your videos are amazing! Thank you! I've used your tips and they do magic! Can we still use your ref codes for schools you mentioned below the video?

[@kimturner1963]

Adorable students :)

[@reemalabed3694]

Watching you is like meditating and praying. I always feel great and that much more prepared! Congratulations on your new addition to the family, by the way. I'm currently working through the Major Course Jump Start Program. I just started (Yes, in FEBRUARY lol. The "same" time as you I discovered), and I'm trying to get parents to book me. Thank you for this =)))

[@NancyTaylor]

You are so sweet Reem! March should bring bookings, and all of your preparation and hard work will pay off when you have a student on the other end:) Keep up the great work! Happy teaching!

[@reemalabed3694]

Eeep! You responded. I've got the goofiest grin right now =))) I completed all the lessons and have been assigned a trial student tomorrow. I am certified in all levels to teach MC but I don't really know what to expect from a Trial class. A little nervous I must admit. I don't know how "strict" I'm supposed to be over pronunciation or how important it is to get through the lesson. I don't know if I'm supposed to do corrections or expect them to participate. I hear Trial Classes are all about keeping it fun. Any tips...? And thank you by the way. I hope I'll be very prepared for when those classes come.

[@teacherlisa163]

Reem, I believe you and I attended a workshop together! How are things going? Nice to see you here! Nancy is the best! :)

[@reemalabed3694]

Teacher Lisa- Hi Teacher Lisa!! Yes, we sure did have a workshop together! How are you? I’m doing wonderful and if I can be fully honest I’m insanely sore. Gym day ☝️😅 Nancy is awesome!! I think she’s my twin in life 😁 How are you doing?

[@teacherlisa163]

Doing great - burning the candle at both ends and between. Had been teaching late night but opened PPTs last night and got 9 additional bookings! :) So... busy, busy! Let's chat by email as soon as either of us can. :) TTYS! Have a great week! :)

[@jmontoya84]

I miss teaching for vipkid! The hours didn't workout for me and my family. :( but I'm currently teaching a 4th grader English in my real life classroom and appreciate your tips!

[@NancyTaylor]

Maybe you can add it back on in the summer! Hope so:) It is nice to be able to apply what you have learned in your current teaching environment! Great work!

[@juanitagonzalezbotero4475]

I like the idea to have a small board, can you make a video on what tools are good to have?

[@dwinosam]

Tomatoes are a fruit! Thank you for your videos!

[@elisabethfiona8520]

I love this video! I’m finishing Week 3 with VIPKID and I’m so impressed at how experienced teachers have time to chat with their students, make connections, extend and still end class at 25:30. I feel like I’m rushing the kids through the slides and sometimes I end after the 28 minute mark anyways. Hopefully it gets easier with time!? Lol

[@TheBiskit45]

Elisabeth Fiona it gets easier as you get more familiar with the material! Welcome to VIPKID!

[@elisabethfiona8520]

Vicky Gill Thank you!

[@melydcr8269]

Thanks so much for these videos... I just started a virtual teaching... do you have an extra advice for someone who recently started

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

Back in China, I used to teach adults at the factory. The output was: a teacher 100%, students 0% :D

[@E_M_O_Lizzie]

How how your adding real class time to explain these strategies. I emailed you month ago about an assignment I had to do. It was very helpful and my classmates loved it.

[@NancyTaylor]

Every class is recorded if you go back into the classroom that you taught hours later:) I just record the screen with quick time. SO glad it was helpful!!

[@lindsayrager37]

Nancy! Happy Easter! Your VIPKID videos are awesome, and I also love your little family videos! I want to nominate you for the VIPKID Community Contribution award! What is your Show Name? 💗

[@NancyTaylor]

Thanks Lindsay! That is so sweet! Nancy AW

[@lisnadsr]

Hello teacher Nancy. I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for making this series. Btw, I have a question to ask you. How much time do you spend per meeting? and how long is the maximum time for a kid to learn per meeting?

[@shaunabrown3382]

GIRL! Where can I get this yellow Dino shirt?!!!! This is amazing!

[@NancyTaylor]

Linked in this video description! Have fun making it! So fun! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZunYYWDqrOlibc&lc=Ugz4MVISG1A1tS4c4uR4AaABAg

[@miamazingness]

Your videos are super helpful! Question: Do you usually finish all of your slides? I'm wondering how you are finding time to extend.

[@NancyTaylor]

YES! I usually always finish unless the student is major late or there are serious IT issues. I usually review content and have a conversation at the end as an extension! Those are my favorite go to Fast Finisher/Extensions.

[@margaritap.blanco5179]

Hi Nancy! I love you videos, they are really helpful. However, I would like to know if you have tips for teaching adults. I´m from Honduras.

[@NancyTaylor]

Hey Margarita! Great question. I currently coach adults in branding and business, but have not taught adults English. Online Teacher Dude may be a good fit to answer this question!

[@teacherkatie2948]

Hi Nancy, how did your practice before you interviewed and did your demo? Did you use the PowerPoint from their website and just practice it ?

[@NancyTaylor]

You can practice in skype or zoom! Shoot me an email if you need anymore help:) [e-mail]

[@patsymcwhorter6971]

Where did you get your blinking star wand? I would like to buy one. Thanks, Patsy McWhorter

[@NancyTaylor]

Can't remember, but it was either Target or the dollar store:)

[@teacheryazid]

I wish I knew this channel earlier

[@annemarie1221]

I’m starting esl tutoring for a 7 year and 9 year old. Younger knows very little and older is intermediate. I see you use the online school. What resources would you recommend I use to help me teach them? Books? Websites? Thank you!!

[@NancyTaylor]

Hey Anne! I use the curriculum built by my platform, VIPKid, and they create all of the curriculum. I believe they use a program "Journey" or something similar to get ideas, but they follow the common core!

[@annemarie1221]

@@NancyTaylor Thank you for getting back to me! I'll look into that program and will consider VIPkid for the future. It sounds like a great option for SAH moms!

[@Skylightatdusk]

Do you speak only English to students? What level of English do students require in order to take ESL classes?

Yes, grapes are berries, and berries are fruits. So therefore---grapes are fruit.

[@MeliRentasMomlife]

But wait... tomatoes are fruits! lol

[@NancyTaylor]

haha! I thought the same thing when I was editing.... I never know what to classify them as..

[@lesliehudson87]

Tomatoes are fruits but we tend to think of them as veggies because they aren't sweet like most fruits. :) Nancy-- you are great fun to watch, and I always learn so much from your videos!

[@lucienthesmilingteacher]

I am all about complete sentences, but I have a unique class right now. The child is new, already had 12 classes, both times he just jumped up and down on the bed. From the little assessment I could see, he had not retained any material. We worked on behavior and I put honest feedback to parents with suggested changes. I didn't see him anymore until today. THEY LISTENED! But it was a UA and he did not do well. Now that he is focused, I was able to get him to laugh and repeat but it was 70% me. I need that to switch but he already has habits. Any suggestions? Thanks for your videos. luci lockhart gmail. no spaces.

[@NancyTaylor]

Keep doing what you are doing!! Your student's output will improve as you continue to engage him in class. Find things that he enjoys and use them in class. The parents end is huge so continue to be honest in your feedback. Sometimes while you are training a student you feel like you are talking more than him/her, but as long as you are always giving the student the opportunity to speak 50% then you are doing your part!! Continue to give wait time and see if your student starts talking more in class!! You rock!
