I admire people who doesn't stop learning😊 despite of their ages and nationality.. From: Saying Hi from Philippines❤️

[@nyelkenci]

His teaching technics are very similar to mine, interact and engage students in real life situations by eliciting the grammatical points. I feel fortunate to have taken CELTA years ago to implement the approach I lerant easily with my English learners. 😀

[@timbradshaw5481]

I made 8 pages of notes on this class, THANKYOU

[@interestingvideossewingand8902]

It is a lovely presentation. Thanks for sharing!

[@bethelmenil8786]

nice strategy... as an ESL teacher and English as my second language, I'm still anxious if I'm teaching grammar effectively.

[@orestesvega2475]

This is the model known as I do, we do you do. A very good model for Language teaching.

[@user-wi7mz5pu1n]

Wow. Thankss for sharing this ❤. That’s so helpful for my demo 😍

[@missns51273]

Teach gramnar in meaningful context. Noted!

[@AngelFlores-bi5xw]

Just subscribed! Good video!!!

[@cristhianrosales8079]

What strikes me the most about the lesson is that the teacher doesn´t have to deal with behavioural problems at all. It´s almost like an utopian class. Very useful information, though.

[@eleazarmercado4491]

I'm not surprised by the students' engagement really. They're adults and it seems they're already living in an English speaking country so they're in dire need of developing their communication skills to ease the pain.

[@seannutshell1427]

Because they are adults!!!!!!!!!!!!!duh..it is a language school ,not junior high!

What are the most useful videos that could be used with ventures 1 course ?

[@carolapatriciafallavassall8344]

Excellent !!! Thanks a million for sharing. Could you please create more demo teaching videos about teaching pronunciation communicatively, please ?

[@TEFLLemon]

Hi CUP, I'm writing a 180-Hour Higher Certificate in TESOL and I'm referencing various videos within the course for trainees to watch to learn more. Is it OK for me to include a link in my course for TEFL Lemon trainees to learn more about the importance of grammar in language teaching?

[@MultiLXO]

Dream job, yet a long way to get there

[@retnowatihs]

What is the book used by the teacher in that video?

[@edgarjaviermedranolucio9469]

what disadvantages did the teacher face using this approach?

[@TheEddieLandsberg]

Has anyone here ever had a challenge getting students to transition to communicative lessons after being through non-student centered/more traditional grammar style classes?

[@retnowatihs]

Iwouldd you please tell me what book the teacher was using in that video? I think it is good to be used in my grammar class.

[@CambridgeUPELT]

Hi Ino, The book used is 'Ventures'. You can find out more about the product here: www.cambridge.org/cambridgeenglish/catalog/adult-courses/ventures-2nd-edition/ or contact your local representative for further information. Kind regards, Cambridge University Press ELT

[@retnowatihs]

Thank you so much for your information. I actually had no idea what book would be suitable to be used for teaching communicative grammar as many of the books are mostly highlighted on the grammar teaching with less speaking activities. I am also thsnkful that you have posted such inspiring video.

[@DBHunter1]

Better to consistently model contractions and reduced speech forms.

Daniel used to be a hotel worker, not he was a hotel worker.

[@018-latifanurulanggraeniso7]

What method that are use in this video?

[@gwendiehn112]

very useful

Can I get this book please

[@timbradshaw5481]

I think you're god dam amazing

[@freshoneus]

Wow

[@olegfare4625]

damn.. Ricky Gervais could make a TV series based on this

[@seannutshell1427]

It is ok,but instead of writing the answers on the board, I would ask them to read the answer s aloud.

[@norhternlight]

Sean Nutshell dick

[@DBHunter1]

Not really. He/she is just encouraging the most optimal instruction techniques. Many teachers hinder learning.

[@seannutshell1427]

You are not challenging them enough, you are treating them as kindergarten students...they are adults ...you have to activate their background knowledge more and you will see a faster understanding....and subsequently a better learning,....

[@shellahabbiling644]

Learning is a step by step process can't you see those people are from different countries. Do you teach a 2 yr. Old to read instead of teaching them first how to hold a spoon?

[@wasnae8675]

This is so boring. If your students are doing gap filling activities and similar activities, it shouldn't be considered teaching grammar communicatvely. This is the traditional way to teach grammar.

[@seannutshell1427]

wrong ...wrong...wrong.....instead of a TS activity it should have been a SS activity, they at this stage are able to ask and answer these questions in pairs....very slowly you are falling in a teacher centered class.....

[@timbradshaw5481]

Wow youre quick to criticise. Maybe's hes not doing to optimal approach according to your knowledge, but this is from Cambridge so a lot of it is really good. I'd love for someone to watch you and be like... "wrong... wrong... wrong.." You sing a song, "wrong wrong wrong" You park slightly less than optimally... "wrong wrong wrong" You don't cook with the best ingredients for your dinner, "wrong wrong wrong" Hahahaha so lame

[@seannutshell1427]

Your lack of knowledge triggers you to answer that way....I bet you have no idea what is a "teacher centered class" or "blended learning" or ABK ...you may check on the internet.....for your info ...I teach teachers.....Iam a non-native EFL teacher who teaches native EFL wannabe EFL teachers....good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vilgessuola]

So in that case you must realise that you are watching about nine minutes of what might have been a 60 - 90 minute lesson and are in no position to be so snide.

[@mistergeorgie]

With respect, Sean, I think you should be a little less eager to criticise.... and to criticise so stridently. The teacher may not be your cup of tea, but he is clearly experienced with what appears to be a substantial track record. Perhaps you ought to be showing those older (I’m surmising) than yourself a certain amount of respect. And that respect should also be extended to the production and editorial team responsible for creating and publishing the video. We do well to remember that there are often many ways to climb a mountain... and we should be extending grace to those who do things somewhat differently from ourselves. Speaking the truth, Sean, to you with respect.

[@lahcenikouss4299]

i did it better than he did. A boring class plus that leson could mislead the students since the teacher focused only jobs. there are many other situations where to be in the past can be used. i wonder where real communication was in that class.

Good day to you and family.

[@retnowatihs]

Thank you so much Seth Warncke, I have seen the website and downloaded some samples from book 1 to 3. Can buy the books on line or should I come to Cambridge representative office in my town to get them?

[@retnowatihs]

Owh, I see. Thanks again for your the information. Have a great day!
