This is a very good video. I am looking to tutor esl someday and I think I could use this information. Elaine, can you provide descriptions of how your mouth forms each letter in case I need to use this information in my tutoring?

[@DelcoLiteracy]

Dear Kelsey, Elaine is not available to provide the information you are seeking. I would do a search within KZbin or in the entire Internet. I am sure there are some on-line resources available. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. --Delaware County Literacy Council

[@DelcoLiteracy]

Hi. Thanks for your comment. We work with adults, using Ventures from Cambridge U. Press: www.cambridge.org/us/cambridgeenglish/catalog/adult-courses/ventures-3rd-edition. Also, I see they have a resource page with free sample print and audio lessons, etc: www.cambridge.org/us/cambridgeenglish/resources. I hope this helps.

Hallo

[@gakh4341]

The teacher talks too much, she knows English ,no need to talk so much.

[@chellycat14]

Why does the teacher talk to the student like she's a child?

[@brianconnelly8107]

It's called grading your language

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

because that's how ESL teaching works

[@JeriDro]

she's speaking slowly and clearly because she's teaching English.....do you have a brain?

[@andresyan4163]

Obviously you don't know anything about teaching and learning a second language.

[@svetlanamtvnk3864]

Why asking a student if she knows alphabet if she already speaks quite well and understands all the questions the teacher asks)))

[@svisvisvisvisvi]

As it's the first class, I'd say the teacher is checking her pronunciation, spelling and reading skills in that part. It's also a bit of a warm-up, to make the student more comfortable. If the teacher hasn't met the student before you prepare these sorts of generic activities to see how they do.

[@chellycat14]

Why is the tutor speaking down to her student, a grown woman, as though her student is dumb or a child? The tutor comes across as very condescending.

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

why do you come back again and again after three years to leave a salty comment? during this time you could get a TEFL certificate and make a teacher's career.

[@JeriDro]

you're an idiot. she's teaching her a new language, duh

[@chinyanaik]

Another section please
