I really like how clear your methods of explanation are, compared to other videos I've watched. Thank you Michael

[@tashafletcher6335]

Teacher Michael thanks for another great video! Iv'e shared your video on my facebook page to show teachers exactly what we mean when we talk about TPR. Again great stuff and thanks for sharing!

[@MichaelVenn]

Thank you Tasha! I really appreciate you sharing this, I hope it will be useful for other teachers 🙂

this is why I prefer to teach adults, personally

[@wendythemom]

Thanks for this video! I'm going to add it to my mentoring resources!

[@MichaelVenn]

Thanks Wendy! I appreciate that!!

[@RaeAnnMcDonald]

I found this helpful, even after having taught over 1000 classes. Thank you for the quick refresher!

[@MichaelVenn]

Thank you! I’m happy to hear you found some value in it, even after 1000 classes 🙂

[@joyellewills2593]

@@MichaelVenn I really love watching your videos! I’ve learned so much. I have a question about TPR. Would it be worthwhile to make a visual of the common TPR gestures and have that posted in my classroom for students to refer to? I would think that would also help them identify common English action words.

[@surasami2631]

Excellent 🎉

Really liked your class .. All the best

Great video Michael! What camera/mic setup are you using? Loving your videos, learning alot.

[@MichaelVenn]

Thanks! I shoot on a Canon 70D with a Rode mic

[@GreggyBPalfish]

Got a setup I can look at? I'm new to the game and trying to get much better, but I'm brand new to vlogging!! @@MichaelVenn

[@letitialaberee2254]

Thank you for this video. You explained very well physical TPR. I still have a question "What is educational TPR?

[@MichaelVenn]

Thanks! Educational TPR are things like “draw a circle” “draw a line”. Basically commands where the student has to take action in some way :)

[@Erica-B]

Thanks for another quick but helpful video! How do you handle students who refuse to join in?

[@MichaelVenn]

I usually either model with my puppet or get extra silly and expressive myself. If that doesn’t work, I just keep teaching. Some kids aren’t into the TPR stuff and I try to allow for that type of learning to occur as well 🙂

[@angelac3788]

Thank you for posting. I saw Nancy Taylor. What did you learn, Teacher Michael???:)

[@MichaelVenn]

Thanks for watching!! I learned that I want to go to the next conference!

[@Danielily1]

Another thing I'd like to be able to know is how to set up my background completely digital. Also, do you know if we'll have a Canadian training at some point? It seems that everything is in the States.

[@MichaelVenn]

I’m sorry but I don’t know anything about digital backgrounds. And I’m not sure what you mean about “Canadian training” - the training is the same for everyone regardless of where they live

[@Danielily1]

One thing I would like to do more with the kids is be able to make them laugh more and do more games for rewards. Do you have any tips on that?

[@MichaelVenn]

This video might help with how you can make the kids laugh more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWi8gpuPfctleac

[@pollyswagga]

My 2 year old was copying your TPR and vocabulary throughout the video. :)

[@MichaelVenn]

Haha that’s so awesome!!

[@withacherryontop9700]

makes me wanna forget english so i could let you teach me again :D so much fun

[@MichaelVenn]

Ha ha that’s awesome, thanks!

[@sarahs2891]

There are different types of commands used in TpR mention them

[@cynsue1618]

Great video, very clear and helpful!!

Thanks! Glad it connected 🙌

Hi we have a présentation and we are 6 person we chose 2 different topic. They are "daily routines" and "feelings" we have 3 activitiy for each topic. I will tell and act a short story which inside feelings. Is it suitable? What do you think ? thank you ❤

[@LEEJUNGEUN1000]

I want to join ur online classroon since i wamt to adopt TPR into my classroom

[@aysegulbozbeyoglu7391]

Dear Michael, thanks for your useful video! I will use TPR methods but where can I find about gestures of Tpr? How can I arrange to my language which I will teach?

[@MichaelVenn]

I think there are a bunch of videos on KZbin that talk about specific gestures for TPR. That’s where I’d begin my search 🙂

[@garcya92]

Thanks for the video, i would like to learn to speak spoken english, i was taught english with the tradicional method, i mean grammar rules and memorizing many words, what should i do?

[@MichaelVenn]

I will try to find a website or app where you can speak with a native English speaker. Perhaps you would enjoy Cambly

[@garcya92]

@@MichaelVenn hey bro, did you find something?

[@Danielily1]

Hi Michael, It seems that you are teaching standing up. What type of table do you use for teaching standing up? I wanted to see if I can teach sitting and standing by having a chair that I can have higher and a higher table. I find sitting all the time is not very good for my legs. I look forward to hear from you. I'm from Québec, Canada with VIPKID.

[@MichaelVenn]

Here’s a video about my stand up teaching set up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYvGiYujrt9rn9E

i wanted to ask what type of voice/microphone do you use for the making of this video?

[@MichaelVenn]

Rode video mic pro 🙂

[@michaeldeg1178]

I'm an English teacher in Bangkok, Thailand, teaching nursery and kindergarten. In January I'm starting my bachelor of education here but until that time I'm trying to improve myself every day. I'm using TPR as best as I can but I'm struggling sometimes, for example with the topic fruits. How would you use TPR when talking about fruits?

[@MichaelVenn]

I’m not sure if it technically count as TPR but I would use a prop or picture to illustrate the fruit and perhaps mime eating it

[@emilybarton9194]

Do you ever change your background? Or focus more on props and TPR? Just curious.

[@MichaelVenn]

I never change it

[@emilybarton9194]

@@MichaelVenn That sounds good to me haha changing takes a lot of effort lol

[@rileydlynch]

Hey Michael, I just applied and unfortunately my application was rejected. I have a TEFL certificate so I was expecting that I would at least get to do a demo; is that normal? Can I reapply later?

[@MichaelVenn]

I’m not sure if it’s normal but I think you are able to apply again :)

[@wendythemom]

Riley, do you also have a bachelor's degree? It's a minimum requirement. :)

[@rileydlynch]

Hi Wendy, I do have a Bachelor's @@wendythemom

[@wendythemom]

@@rileydlynch you might have to apply with a different email address. Be very careful this time to make sure that you highlight your teaching experience and every box is checked correctly. I have had friends who were rejected because they accidentally made mistakes when they were first applying. If you have a bachelor's and teaching experience, you generally will get an interview. Good luck!

Not really. There are many different ways to teach effectively. This is just one of them 🙂

Music annoying me

[@miavos3610]

Just be careful not to be too much of a clown or draw out the action for too long. Some cultures are quick to classify such behavior as 'nuts'. So never go over the top with the actions.

[@MichaelVenn]

Good point - there’s always a balance that you need to strike.

@@MichaelVenn Please do! I bookmarked your VIPKID CheatSheet website. Wow! Impressive website! Thank you for this! I'll be on my 3rd contract in a few days. I would not be here without all your help. That is really not an exaggeration. When I have a problem I turn to your videos. Your videos have picked me up when I am frustrated. You have provided so much help to me. Thank you. Please keep doing what you are doing! By the way, I am also Teacher Michael- except I am a female. I've have one student who refuses to call me Michael he calls me "Michelle" he was 4 years old when I met him. He said, "Michael is for boys." Hahahaha Most students just say "Teacher." Anyway, seriously thank you, Michael.
