Thank you so much, Ahmed! 😊🙏

I completely agree with your suggestions and advice. I’ve been teaching ESL in Japan for over 20 years and the first 15 or so were very frustrating with their hesitancy to speak. I realized that they learn the other aspects of English at their schools and cram schools, so in my class I began to focus 90% on speaking and I see a huge difference now. I also love to praise their effort and encourage them to feel proud even when they make a mistake, because then we turn that into a mini lesson and all of the children learn from it. We all say thank you to the student for them helping to teach our class that day (with their unintentional mistake). Love your videos and even after teaching ESL for so many years, I still learn so much. Thank you!

[@etacude]

Hi Holly! Thank you for your kind comment. I feel blessed to know there are teachers with a similar with regards to English teachers. I always appreciate the experience that other educators bring to my views on teaching. I'll try to share more ideas in the future. 😊🙏

[@BWcapture]

@@etacude The biggest point I took from this is the "Do you understand?" question. I ask this but I often do not follow up to verify what their understanding is, if any.

[@JackieBolen]

Get students to work in pairs! This will go a long way towards helping students build confidence.

[@asmadjoudi8560]

Would you please provide me with tips and strategies?

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Lots of great tips here. Teaching ESL to students in the United States means that we also have to consider the student population's goals. I teach ESL to college students who are recent immigrants or refugees, and we have to target the students' writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills so that they can be ready to succeed in college classes. Certainly speaking is the skill that they often need to most, but we also have to help them with the other skills so that they can perform well in college-level classes.

[@jsmith968]

This guy clearly knows what he is talking about. You can discern this from the logical arguments behind his method, even if you have never taught a single class. ~JSmith

[@etacude]

Thank you for the extremely kind comment! 🙏 I really appreciate it.

[@JackieBolen]

My top tip is to get students to work together in pairs or small groups as much as people. Anything to get away from a very teacher-centred classroom!

I teach esl in Brazil and my big challange is to make this kind of work, speaking classes, with students that dont know how to speak english at all. I teach childrean from age 4 to 10.

[@cantinoch9579]

In summary I should develop a study plan or in the case of the Japanese JET program use their teaching standards as a tool to ultimately get students talking as much as possible. Grammar? Teach them about root words or where predicates go, but get them to speak most of all while teaching those things.

Hello Eric! I’d like to know what I should do when I have 19 students in classroom. Parents generally want an individual relationship with their child. but I can't do it in 40 minutes. and many children are weak, don’t wanna talk and for some reason don’t perceive the language :(

[@etacude]

Hi Leila! I'll make a video on how to build rapport in the classroom soon. 😊

[@sciencepowerpoints]

Great Video and Ideas - Even though I add many interactive games within my ESL lessons and make lessons as fun as I can (Which my students also find very fun to do) - Personally I still find teaching English - utterly boring most of the time - and an ambiguous subject to teach- It is hard to structure lessons properly. That is why I love/prefer teaching science. Much easier to teach using powerpoints/whiteboard and you get to do fun experiments
