    Hi Jemma, I am Mapule from South Africa. I have been teaching english in China for over two years. From teaching at a training center to teaching at a kindergaten...I have attended a gazillion ESL trainings but none of those trainings gave me the teaching experience I have been looking for. I stumpled upon your channel as I am always searching for ways to improve my teaching style. You have immersely helped me improve in such a short space of time from just watching your videos. I always watch them with a pen in hand ready to take notes. I have watched almost all your videos...I reall want to watch them all because your content is so worth it! Please consider teaching ESL as a course. I believe it will help many others. There are a lot of teachers like myself struggling.
    Much Love,

      Hi Mapule, thanks so much for your message it has really made my day. I started Mooncake English because I felt like there wasn't many professional resources out there for ESL teachers. So it's a wonderful feeling to know that the channel has helped you so much. Regarding an online course, I am actually working on one, but I really want to to be beneficial with information that I know will really helps teachers, so I am taking some to produce it. I will of course let you know once it's ready 😊
      Once again, thanks for the lovely feedback and encouragement ❤️

  • @melkoeg
    @melkoeg 4 года назад +3

    That's great. I also find that an example/demo is imperative for young learners. I would usually use my co-teacher or 2/3 student to demonstrate the game for others. Another idea might be to draw an example on the whiteboard, like a little story. For example, if it's the switch game, you can draw little chairs with different shapes or numbers on them, and demonstrate it with magnets/pictures on the whiteboard.
    Great videos! Love watching them

    Great tips Jemma. Love them. I do a variation like Melanie. I keep a stash of flashcards of clipart children that represent the students in the class. They are laminated and have magnets, standing on one side and sitting on the other. Then draw a demo on a white board with movement and language. Then of course demo with a teacher and several children who have caught on a bit faster than their peers. Works best from 4y.o. and up 3y.o. ok, later in the year. Early 3y.o.....good luck. Just move them, show a card and say it, jump, and laugh. Hopefully they follow.:)

Have you tried demonstrating with a co-teacher or student?

    • @MooncakeEnglish
      @MooncakeEnglish  4 года назад

      Hi Yuliia, thanks for watching! Yes I think switch might be a bit tricky for three year olds. Their spatial awareness and coordination isn’t quite there yet and they can bump into each other. I would suggest a game like Bounce ruclips.net/video/czYljRAHbgU/видео.html or What’s in the box ruclips.net/video/dh7DwTmzyas/видео.html Generally, I would avoid any kind of competitive games for three year olds, they usually don’t understand the idea of competing. I’ve had three year olds help each other instead of trying to win 😂

Thanks for advises and keep it up with the new content,you’re an inspiration for me and an example of a good teacher!!! 😊

      @MooncakeEnglish  2 года назад +1

      Hi Tatiana, thanks for watching!
      You can follow the same steps I mention in the video but you also need to think about if the game is too hard for your students. For four year olds, the game may be a little hard for them to get, especially if they are new to English. Remember to use simple words, demonstrate and highlight those that are responding correctly to help students understand better.
      I hope that helps!
