Hello I'm a new teacher I'll start next week I was so afraid but ur video helped me a lot thank you so much I really appreciate it thank you merci beaucoup
Hi Chris! Even though I've been teaching ESL since 1986, I watched your video to the end. Nice tips on the board. In my lessons, I liked to conceal the board with pieces of paper, Students would file in, asking what was under them. This piqued students' interest, and they focused on the grammar (etc.) as soon as I removed the paper. I didn't start arranging desks until the latter part of my teaching career. Wish I had earlier! Now I like arranging them in a circle with me in the middle. No student can hide in the back and check his cell phone. Just before a group activity got going, groups of 3-4 desks were put together. Other helpful tips to new teachers might be: avoid hot button topics (religion, politics, marital status). I remember an angry reaction to a comment I made about bird-watching being boring (it was mentioned in our grammar book). An elder male student then gave some reasons to do it, and I apologized. I learned to keep my opinions to myself. And how about dress codes? A fellow teacher back in the day used to teach wearing a fanny pack and clothes he wore around his house on the weekend. Another would wear Hawaiian shirts. I feel a teacher should look like one. That doesn't mean a suit and tie, but it also doesn't mean wearing cut-offs and flip flops! After all, how are students going to know you're a teacher if you're dressed like a student? Anyways, nice video. Concise and to the point.
Today I got that I wanted, really it's my first visit on your channel, I am very happy and I have watched 3 to 5 continuously. Your knowledge and informations are truly helpful for me. Hey! One more thing I have clicked on subscribe button it's mean I am your new member 😊😊 so welcome me. Lot's of love from lndia and thank you so much to make such wonderful, knowledgeable, and helpful videos. 🙏🙏💐🤗❤️❤️
Your videos are so inspiring. I'm a new teacher and soon to begin. I just feel like I already started after watching a handful of your videos. Thanks s lot.
Thank you so much i know i will be watching all of your videos, i lived most of my life in the states and now i am taking a teaching class to learn how to teach english here in mexico, i already subcribed to your channel, thanks again for this helpfull videos
Lovely video. I'd like to pick your brain, if I may, about teaching older students or students used to giving orders (and not receiving them, like a manager) in a country where there is a clear "social ranking", as we do here in Japan. I do find myself sometimes in an awkward position, being ignored, especially by older men. Any ideas how I could avoid such a situation without being rude? Thanks so much for all your great ideas in these videos! Binging them over the holidays! Stay safe!
I'm A young teacher in my tution my age is 13 I teach them spoken English I'm indian and in india English is weak of alot of people even though I am like intermediate at english
Hello dear, how do you feel? My name is Arelis lm from Dominican Republic, l was learning on your channel about teaching strategies, but I need to take intensive english course for improving my English, do you know some wedside or courses online, that can use. Please help me.
Hi Chris I'm going to start teaching in weeks. I'm really worried of being in front of students. I think I can't talk in front them. How can I practice not to be shy?
If you go back to some of my lessons, I have demos with language students. These students in the class are soon to be teachers. They were just there to help with the video :)
The BALL--CRINGE. Lack of smile, happiness, enthusiasm in the leader standing---just terrible. you don't know teaching like I know. You have much to learn.

Hi, Chris
You show us great things and Im very grateful. I just have one request. Could you speak slowly so that non natives can follow you ??
maybe you can just use captions buddy! cz slowing down might mean being time cosuming which isn't so suitable for everybody
Good teaching method for every learner teacher because you can goodly show up your teaching method . thanks for your ideas
Thank you for your energy and ideas! :)

Hi Chris
I'm going to start teaching in weeks. I'm really worried of being in front of students. I think I can't talk in front them. How can I practice not to be shy?
You should watch my teachers’s voice video
i really have a problem of shyness and i don’t have enough self esteem for teaching, do you think teaching is not my thing !?
You can get over with your shyness gradually. You can do it!
You can do it👍🏿
thanks guys

Boy oh boy I'm scared as shi
So fast we can't get you we are non native
you can slow down the speed.
So easy to teach natives, try asia bro..
If you go back to some of my lessons, I have demos with language students. These students in the class are soon to be teachers. They were just there to help with the video :)
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL I understand teacher but in Asia sounds to me impossible to teach ...
@@vietnammoh8228 I’ll have to fly out there and give it a shot!
the sounds are echoing and is annoying...
Yeah, I know. I’m redoing all of these videos
