[@amirhosseinyazdani5595]

I'm gonna have my first demo lesson tomorrow and watching your videos gave me much more energy and confidence to perform. Thank you so much

[@etacude]

Hi Amirhossein, sorry for my late response. How did things go with the Demo? Have a super 2022 and remember to watch the Sunday Live Chat if you can.

[@just_jason]

This is so helpful prepping for my first demo lesson, thank you!

[@etacude]

Happy to hear that, Jason! 😊 Good luck! 👍

@EtacudeEnglishTeachers, Thank you, I have been teaching ESL for 12 years and to this day, I STILL get nervous about demo lessons! Sometimes it's "What material is appropriate for this level/age group?", while other times it's finding a fun and memorable game/activity to do. However, I'm beginning to venture into demo classes for adults, so it's more challenging finding age appropriate activities that aren't just "head shoulders knees and toes". It would be awesome if you could do a video for activities geared towards adult ESL students.

[@etacude]

Hi! Thank you for your kind comment! Here is a video I did on activities for adults. I hope it helps :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/joHahmOXn7uImZY

[@mynameisearlb]

Thank you very much! I'm training myself to become an ESL teacher and I'm grateful I found this video, very helpful! One thing I found weird was that you called it rock scissor paper and not the rock paper scissors that I grew up with. Just thought I would comment and share, thanks again!

[@etacude]

Hi Earl! Yes, by now I've forgotten what the original is. You see, in South Korea they Rock Scissors Paper and since I've been here a few years I've totally mixed them up. :D

[@FilipinaAndTheForeigner]

Good to see how we all teach differently 👍

[@etacude]

This is what, 3 or 4 years ago? There was a huge need for an example, today I'll do it differently. As we all learn and progress.

When I've been told 따라해, I laughed, really! I'm looking through mock teaching/demo lesson videos and this helps me a lot. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I have an interview soon, and I will be presenting the first conditional. My main example will be: If I pass the interview, I will get a teaching job. Do you think this context is good or should I change it?

I'm busy making a video for teachinf 1 on 1. Hopefully it will have some ideas.

Should you wear a headset when doing your demo interview? Thank you.

If it improves your sound quality, yes. 😁

Good day Sir, may I know the main topic of your lesson? Thank you

[@hmirsamid538]

It is really useful. Thank you so much. By the way, It looks like Callan method.

[@etacude]

Happy to help Habiyev! Actually I wasn't familiar with the Callan method until you mentioned it. After looking it up I understand that many of the practices we naturally use in the classroom might already be used in different variations. The Callan method looks very useful to quickly get students to learn English.

Please go on with more techniques and ideas to teach Esl classes.from Morocco .Thank you .

Thank you la ch, will do.

[@prettyb5852]

What level are your imaginery students? Great lesson.

[@laylash.r4668]

I don't agree with using the Mother tongue or the Korean language if it is their first language. It is also better to say 'in the cinema' than 'at the cinema'. Helpful for beginners. Thanks.

[@Lanoshka-j1j]

[@theresapaulse877]

Thanks so much for video. I appreciate the useful tips. Any useful ways to provide student feedback in a demo lesson? With who was your interview if you don't mind me asking.

[@etacude]

Hi Theresa, good questions. Since the interview is meant for a single or group of interviewers, you most likely will be doing the interview with them. I would actually add student feedback during the lesson, even if it is fake feedback it will demonstrate your ability to help learners during a real class. So act as if a student made a mistake and give them immediate feedback even if you don't have a student. You can also give "student feedback" at the end of the lesson to solidify what you taught. I hope you understand what I mean. :) The interview was for a winter English camp.

[@theresapaulse877]

@@etacude Thank you. I think I will do feedback during the lesson. That actually seems like the more appealing option. I might also have to conduct a lesson about the cinema. I'm just confused as to how to pitch this topic on an intermediate and upper level. There seems to be varying options about what is suitable for upper and intermediate English teaching. I really don't want my lesson to come across as too simple. Any advice? Sorry to ask. I'm just extremely nervous. It will be my first interview for online teaching.

How difficult it is for a physically challenged person to be an ESL teacher?

[@etacude]

It is very tiring. Most teacher at academies have almost nonstop classes for a couple of hours straight. Public schools can be easier, it's around 22-30 teaching hours per week that you're on your feet and the rest of the time you're lesson planning.
