How to Teach RUDE/BORED students | Acadsoc Sample Class | With Commentary

[@nanaybanez269]

Teacher I also experience a rude 7 year old student, the worst part is she called me "You're ugly"🤣 what I did I typed "Teacher is beautiful" and let her read it. She rolled her eyes🤣

[@TeachaKaren]

Hahaha that's the right attitude! One of my students told me, he wanted to kill me and I played dead HAHAH. We have to lighten up and stop taking things seriously. Just make fun of them in a subtle way LoL

your so good teacher karen , I am new in acadsoc

[@ljmacedilla9940]

I like your teaching strategies. For a newbie ESL teacher like me, this is a big help. Thank you, teacher Karen!

[@TeachaKaren]

I am happy to help teach, passion ko talaga magturo kaya sobrang enjoy ako magshare

[@charlie_charldon]

I've learnt that questions such as these are quite useful: "I see a problem in this sentence. Do you see it?" "Why can't we use this verb?" "Would you like a link to practise [topic]?" I've found that this places the ball in the student's court. It also gets them thinking and analysing their work. STT can also be maximised in this way.

[@zhangzhanhe6370]

I saw this video suddenly, first I’m really sorry to hear that then I would like to introduce myself I’m a student of Acadsoc. Probably the majority of Chinese students are single kids so they don’t wanna accept others’ advices. Don’t take them seriously! Secondly probably they got a lot of pressure from both schools and parents. By the way you Kareen you are a professional teacher The students who are studying with you are very Lucy keep going

[@TeachaKaren]

Thank you so much. I do understand that many students are exhausted from too much home work. That's why it's our job to make sure you would enjoy learning from us and not see it as a burden.

[@ParaisoSisters]

[@tri378]

Fake it till you make it. 😂 Ride kung ride. Ito yung pinakanatutunan ko sa first few years ng work sa ESL. Huwag magsuggest kung di ka tinatanong, huwag maging overcorrective and sensitive sa mistakes nila. Focus on big mistakes nalang at huwag magcocorrect kung di mo kayang iexplain.

[@TeachaKaren]

Yes!! Tumpak na tumpak. Yung suggest lang siguro for me is ok, it's important kasi e pero dapat maingat tayo sa delivery hehehe kasi mamaya nicomplain ka pa 😂😂😂

[@CrackerJayherber]

Great points here, Karen. And while I do think I have great self control, there is always that one student who will eventually get the best of me and I don't mind telling them what I think of them. If they are disrespectful then I will say so. We are not their doormats.

Thanks for the tips on bored students, Teacher Karen! I also have made the mistakes of being too stern with my students. Yung talagang rude with bad words and all, I experienced those jusko. But thankfully I managed to deal with that. Totoo talaga ang dedma powers haha 🤣very effective

[@ArdentTUT]

I had the same experience once with an adult student. Mas maintindihan ko pa pag bata nag umaattitude pero pag adult parang mas mahirap intindihin. Hays.

[@TeachaKaren]

I do agree with you teach. Kasi for adults parang it has a deeper meaning e, "minamaliit nya ba ako o sadyang ganyan siya?", kailangan lang talaga teach e buo ang loob natin and kumbaga "wapakels" hehehe para hindi nila nasisira ang araw natin!

[@tessasantiago2239]

Teacher karen u have been my inspiration to do good in class! I adapted most of your ideas hehe.. I’m a noob. However I was startled with the different Aclassroom setup.. i wasnt able to use some of the tools like the T to text or i may say trying to find the tools like to upload pictures. I recently learned there were 3 types of Aclassroom.. hopefully you can make videos about those. Thanks much cher!

[@TeachaKaren]

Oh yes there are many types of Aclassroom but only 2 that I know of, the netless Aclassroom is a headached LOL sadly, I cannot make a tutorial because Acadsoc might fire me if I expose their tools too much :( What I suggest is to explore the tools, enter the classroom 3-5 minutes in advance to explore and practice how to use the tools. :)

[@TeachaKaren]

Oh thank you! Still working on improving it every day! 🥰

[@ASafePlacePH]

I've dealt with both European and Chinese students for about five years in the past and have handled Chinese students who also cut me off with endless "I knows" during sessions. One of my students explained to me that when they repeatedly say "I know", he means to say that he "understands". Oftentimes, it's the language barrier and misunderstandings that get in the way and as teachers, it's our job to understand them and show empathy regardless of how rude, bored, or aggressive they are in class. I have to admit though, I have confronted some students (lovingly) on their bad behavior in the past.

[@TeachaKaren]

Thanks for your input 🥰 I've also noticed that in my 1.5 years stay with this company. You're right! ♥️ In relation to the video, it was the student's facial expression, register and tone that I was able to subjectively say she's rude. Hehe

I often have these kinds of students in my class. I've been an ESL teacher for 5yrs and I also do these but I admit sometimes I just cant handle them because some are really not that participative and respectful. It is so hard to teach them. It's like your patience wants to explode.

[@TeachaKaren]

I TOTALLY agree. It's like the longest class ever, the longest 25 minutes. You just want to get it over with and never see the student. Though, we just get used to it over time (but it doesn't mean it no longer upsets us LoL)

[@Hello-y2h]

You must have been very confused at this rude and desrespecful behavior. You have wisdom how to handle this situation.... truly you are a nice person. I would have argued with them. I should learn from you how to endure.

[@TeachaKaren]

by nature, I am an argumentative person LOL but that only applies to my friends and my loved ones. Over time, I have developed the patience and the skill to remain calm under these difficult situations. Maybe this is a teacher's true test of professionalism and skill hihih

Not being racist but just based from my experience, most Chinese kids to teens are mostly not well-behaved esp when attending online classes like these. Japanese students on the other hand are the most patient and respectful with their teachers.

Hello, Teacher Karen! I have a regular student and we have more than 200 classes together and I can see that He's so familiar with me and my actions. I always try to ask him relevant questions but sometimes I feel like he looks down on me and he tells me what to do and shows disinterest in the class. It hurts me because I think of him as a good boy and we also shared great moments together. I feel gloomy because of this. π^π I always try to brush it off. But I really can't hide the fact that I'm hurt. I always try to give him my support despite of all of this.

[@TeachaKaren]

We are just humans teacha, it really is upsetting when our "babies" turn into bad babies. But it happens, that's why it's important that from the beginning, you have already shown a little parent-like authority. For example "Uh uh, when you need something from teacher, you say it nicely and you say please" .... things like those, so they know that even though you are not an authoritarian figure, you are to be respected.

[@darwinnacion1194]

Hi, Teacha Karen! Thank you for the suggestions. I can tell you know English off by heart.

I remember my student who doesn't accept corrections. Whenever I correct her grammar, she would say that she said the correct one. I would just accept it and say that it is good to be reminded about grammar rules anyway.

[@TeachaKaren]

The sad thing is not every student is open to feedback...thus, if you get a response like this, maybe you can ask the student's permission if they wish to be corrected in terms of grammar, pronunciation etc... if so, your corrections must be thorough and you must explain the rationale behind the error :)

[@vhinehudas]

@@TeachaKaren We are actually told to correct the students' grammar and pronunciation so I assumed that the students were already expecting corrections during the class. I was surprised at her reaction but after a few lessons with her, I kind of found a way to make corrections without making it obvious. I was choosing my words carefully. Sadly, she had other attitude problems so I ended up reporting her. :(

I always empathize with the student. This is what I mean: Try to imagine the class from their point of view, and think - did the teacher (you) do something wrong? Was he/she impatient, rude, inconsiderate to you in any way? If the answer is no, then it's obvious this child has inner frustration and it has nothing to do with you!

[@TeachaKaren]

I loooove this mindset! ♥️ This is a great tip to stay neutral when faced with challenging students. Too bad I have low EQ hahah 😂 I easily get irritated by rude students so I summon all my fake smiles and enthusiasm instead HAHA

I agree. I wondered if the student may have been beating HERSELF up about it. Like “duh! I know, I know, I know. I’ve learnt this but here I am, still getting it wrong …” That said, I can see the teachers frustration about being spoken over. Especially if this student’s constantly cutting her off.

Teach sa feedback part na dapat I-correct si student. Allow them to talk muna wag muna ibombard ng info. It's really important to take note of the ungrammatical sentence/s para pagkatapos ng session that's the time we can give them our feedback and corrections.

Great teacher! I learned a lot. Thank you 💕

[@TeachaKaren]

Awww! I am humbled. Thank you for your appreciation.

Hi Teach! What if someone gives you the bad finger? Have you had that experience? If so, how did you handle it? Did you just also brushed it off and moved on? hehe thanks po teach! more power!

[@beanbee2008]

Ah sa ibang video commentary mo po pala i didiscuss hehe okie teach. Abangan ko po :))

[@TeachaKaren]

A kid and a teen did that to me, for kids I made a face, I said "Aww, that makes teacher sad. Teacher loves you ♥️" then I redirected to the lesson and left notes for the parents. For teens and adults, you just have to nicely inform them that you wish to be treated with respect as you are only trying to help them. Then -deadma- then redirect to lesson :)

I just watched your vlogs today! Nice videos teach! 😍

[@TeachaKaren]

Thank you! 😃 I'm happy you liked them, I hope you get to learn a lot.

[@justbemitch8819]

teacha Karen just wondering why they need to enroll in an esl course when they already know basic English?. One more thing, are the classes you conduct recorded? thanks.

[@TeachaKaren]

Yes, because they may still want to increase their proficiency in the language. classes in Acadsoc are recorded, yes :)

[@justbemitch8819]

@@TeachaKaren thanks for the reply. thanks for the inspiration and motivation as well in this field :)

Teachaaaa on my very first class, a 9 yr old kid messaged me on the chatbox, "I will report you, you're just chatting other boys" HUHU HAHHAHAHAH kakastart pa lang nga ng class eh. I didn't mind the message, just continued the class. lol I was a bit shocked though.

[@actenorio8168]

The class went well though I don't know why he said that. He also said "You're just like other teachers, chatting boys." HHAHAHHA

[@TeachaKaren]

HAHAHAHAH ang kulit naman nyan. Yes, tama ang ginawa na you disregarded :) para magstay focused sa class. Basta naman alam mo na wala kang ginagawa e, ang makikita naman yun sa recording tapos maiinvalidate yung complaint if ever. hehehe

[@ennashorty7777]

Let your student read it since she's great in grammar and you just listen to her while she's reading .

[@TeachaKaren]

Thanks for your input! :)

[@myheartmymusic6536]

Love your vids teacher! Pero nung tinerminate ako ni akaso nanermon talaga ako sa isang student na ayaw mag participate sabay sabi last day ko na sa akaso tapos ganun pa siya, ayun umiyak, tapos si mommy kinukuha wechat ko gusto magpa private 😁

[@TeachaKaren]

Oh diba nakatulong pa sayo ang panenermon, hehehe sana dumami pa students mo, di na deserve ni Akaso na magtiis pa tayo

[@wendangstv9780]

I feel you teach here! Sabay tayo natawa - i know i know never ending i know haha

[@TeachaKaren]

Madalas ok lang naman ang I know from Chinese people, kasi it means "I understand" to them. pero kasi yung tono ng student na ito ... parang "alam ko na nga kasi, wag mo na ulitin" hahahahahha
