I just wanna share little of my experience in teaching English here, especially in my area, I'm an English teacher in Indonesia. Some of the fundamentals you mentioned maybe not that effective for my students because the root is from my own students, they're so lazy to study and don't have willingness just to learn its basic, also need lot of patience in motivating them in persuading to study. But, I'm not underestimate them, I try to have positive and optimist thought about my students. Maybe, it's just that my teaching style need to change and use many kind of interactive method, but the problem is I don't have someone or people near me to discuss and give some advice of it to me :(.
I live and grew up in Spain. At age 13 I was enrolled into an all english school (still in Spain) and was completely lost. As a complete beginner, being constantly corrected by teachers and classmates was a huge help. Being congratulated by someone for speaking a sentence that they know I used to struggle with made me feel like I was progressing.

"Assume beginners know nothing and elicit vocabulary, grammatical structures, and instructions to avoid confusion." How can you elicit if the students know nothing?
@@timothyspool1399 From my experience I learn everything I'm teaching in their language. But this is because I usually do one on ones. In a bigger calss this may not work. So you should show pictures and mimic the word to the best of you're ability. I have worked with students who are a bit better and know basic words making my life easier. So I can immediately just go into to teaching, them everyday sentences with basic Enlish, but make sure to speak slowly. And after that you go ahead and see how well the can read and write. Surprisingly many people can read and write but do not understand. So you have to explain everything they're reading. I do that by learning what I'm teaching in their language but you can also explain it using pictures or actions. A combination of both works best though. Actually I'm only 16 but I tutor younger kids or other teenagers. A lot of adults find it embarrassing to learn from someone younger which is fine, but they should know most language teachers do not judge their students as they know not everybody is born knowing the language.
Hey Chris, excellent video! Thanx!!! 61 year old American, no degree but a passion for teaching and kids. Long story short, I recently got a job teaching 2nd grade in Laos. And my goal is to be the best teacher I possibly can be. I teach math, science, English and geography. The kids are naturally good in Math. My goal is to get them to be the best readers and speakers I possibly can. They are given placement tests and then put in the grade that matches their speaking ability. Most of my kids are around 8.....but I have one 11 and one 12 year old. It's painful, in that some of the kids are painfully behind the majority of the others in their reading ability, but I make all the kids read aloud in the front of the class. Some require very little assistance.....and some require me to say most of the words. I want to get a few mp4 player/recorders with headphones so the kids can practice reading out loud to my voice.....it seems like it work well yes? Thoughts. And I have a special needs kid.....so they say who refuses to do anything. He has his books but will not remove them from his backpack....he won't even draw! Anyway I've realized I can only do what I can do/I can only help those that want to learn....it's sad though because I know where that kid is probably headed. And I know many of the kids need glasses as they read with books very close to their face. The parents/schools don'y have the resources like in the U.S. So I teach with much love and do the best I can. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you thank you. I am in Peru teaching English with no experience whatsoever. Had my first class last Saturday where I tried to teach the kiddos how to introduce themselves and learn colors. it went okay but i doubt the kids will have remembered much at all when I see them again this Saturday. I will try out these tips and review what we have learned.
You're my role-model. So carry on we need more as ESL, ELT. Especially for non-English speakers. Increadable fundamentals that we can depend on it. Thanks, alot
Absolutely brilliant! I am teaching my first entry level beginner class today and this has re-enforced the huge amount of preparation that I have done. I feel much more confident teaching this lesson today. I just need to keep the TTT down. Thanks so much for this excellent content. I shall be watching more of your videos.
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL Thanks very much. It went OK but I need to learn how to perfect giving out instructions. I translated lesson guides in three languages which was a huge amount of work. I have a lot to learn but each week I will improve.
🇩🇿I am about to teach children English. I was feeling afraid and anxious, but this video made me feel happy. Thank you very much. Greetings to you from Algeria. 🇩🇿
I'm a new ESL teacher and I've been having lots of fun teaching kids and teens, but beginner adults are SO challenging. they expect you to translate everything and some downright refuse to skim a question or to read aloud. i have students who won't do any exercises unless i translate everything, including the words they already know. i'm so close to giving up
Error correction - I think it's important to know that many students expect to be corrected and feel feel disappointed (and even cheated) if you never correct them. I try to correct only language we have covered recently and the target language for that lesson.
Thanks for everything I'm hamid from Iran owning an English school in Tehran(Capital of Iran)and I have to tell you I'd rather watching you than some business fulfilling TV shows. keep up the good work Dear Chris
So glad I found you.. I'm starting a new class four students from four different countries. All beginners. I've no idea what their expectations are I didn't invite them. I simply volunteered to teach and then there's a class.. I used to teach advanced students but I myself have learning issues eg dyslexia dyspraxia but I'm passionate to help folk not be left isolated unable to speak the language of the country they're living in. I've no experience with beginners. Im using your tutorials as a lifeline like a drowning person would clutching a rubber ring. Your super clear and very encouraging. Im So glad you have made these tutorials. Thank you
An awesome introduction! Bravo. Charisma, expertise, everything is in its place in your personality. I'm here for a long time since today. Greetings from a newbie from Ukraine.
As a student of Italian I have to emphasise how much I agree with point #11: when I'm not sure I'm speaking with the right structure I cannot speak so much, but when I know I'm right I get trigger-happy! 😅
I want to teach my mother English. She knows enough but I want to dedicate time to helping her grow her confidence. Does anyone know of any workbooks or lesson plan layouts that could be helpful and beneficial to use?
Hi Chris! I am looking for part two… Is it out yet? You are helping me tremendously. I am TEFL certified 2012, but have never used it.

I think it would be the same as teaching a language with a different alphabet. I’m learning Japanese and I had to start at the very beginning by learning which sound each symbol makes (for hiragana and katakana). You could use phonics resources aimed at teaching young children to read.
Outstanding explanation of of the 13 Fundamentals, Chris. You clarified for me what I was thinking with my upcoming classes - speaking slowly, very minimal talking, minimal vocab and sentences. I really liked your suggestion to use the same phrase as a statement and then as a question, only changing one word - brilliant. Can't wait to watch vid 2.
Damn I realized it's next to impossible for me to teach anyone anything. Thanks for making me realize that before I devalue my time and others'. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Hey. I'm Turkish and willing to teach English in Türkiye so that I can make some money. I think it is a good idea for a university student. Do you think that comparison of the two languages in grammatic properties is a good idea?
What i have learned with this video is understanding human behaviour will definitely lead you to understand yourself better! You have a nice observation of human behavior that's how you are able to differentiate in students way of understanding languages. I can relate it more because once i was also unable to communicate in english. Now that i have became a english teacher your video has helped me alot. Thank you for guiding in such a simple way.😊
I cannot but totally agree with every point that you've made! This is how we acquire our native language as children, and this is how a foreign language should be taught.
Sir. I appreciate your hard efforts thanks a lot for these fruitful information. I have been teaching since 2018 but sometimes I feel confused, I don't know how to start the lesson, special writing time. I hope you help me to handle this problem thanks again
I am watching this because the stupid TEFL course I am taking does not cover, at all, how in the heck I am supposed to communicate with beginners! Even if they are not beginners, the stupid course has me asking them something like, "What did you do this weekend?" after telling them all about what I did this weekend, in-order to teach them some aspect of verb tense. 😣Well if they understand my original question and story, they probably already know whatever simple concept I am supposed to teach. .... In other words, thank-you for this video!
Hi, im from india i searched how to teach English to teach my best friend English. I met him last year and he is miserably failing in subjects. He doesn't know grammar, words and spelling from the kindergarten level🙂. We study multimedia and he is skilled editor does work but seeing him failing makes me sad and also he is depressed that he knows all the contents but doesn't know how to write in english.
Hello! Thanks for this video. I teach English in a non-native context, Dominican Republic. My students don't need to use the target language outside the classroom. Practically, they know anything. As a teacher I don't have a lot of reasources at my disposal, chalks, a board and my students' notesbooks and pencils. Is it a good idea to teach using L1?
Wow, wow, and wow! Thank you for this video. I want to teach English to non-native speakers and was ready to apply to all these online companies but then came across your video. I am certified to teach English here in the States to our students, but not to non-English speakers. Boy was I getting ahead of myself.
The problem with some school curriculum is that they time or put time stamps in your class. You can't just go to the next lesson when your students couldn't master their previous lesson. And I as a beginner in the Chinese language find it annoying if I jump from one lesson to another without me mastering first the current lesson. My mind can't handle too much information and we all forget easily so we need to always review our past lessons and incorporate them in the new lesson if possible..
hello chris, i hope you're in good health. i'm a novice english teacher in Morocco, and i teach 3 classes of complete beginners, and i really don't like to bombard them with a lot of vocabulary, i have also been thinking of implementing more interactive activities where they practise the basics of English. but the problem is that we teachers have to follow a certain curriculum and have to prepare Ss for the national exam so that they can graduate. what do you think i should do?
so i am currently teaching english for junior hingschool student. when i asked him what his target for getting an extra lesson in english, he just say he wants to get to know more vocabs. but the problem is, his teacher in school keeps teaching him random material for english lessons. i got confused what should i focus on my tutoring. not to mention my student dont want to take his english speaking/writing into the next level (?) he refuse to use it in his study or taking an english proviciency tests. idk what and how i should teach him lol
Super helpful content - especially as teaching students who aren't familiar with Roman script. Where can we go for lesson plans for these beginners. Fluentize doesn't seem to have many beginner lessons. Most beginner lessons require some level of reading and vocab prior to starting the course. I am having trouble finding total beginner resources.
Thanks for the vid. I have to do some research about this topic bc a friend of mine I met some time ago really needs help at school and my English grades in general are really good [proud] lmao. I'm 16, living in Austria so we mostly talk either in German or in Turkish (we are both Turks). I hope that I can help her with the grades, already got her studyplan that she is using at her school. It was a helpful video, keep it up 💪🏻
All you are saying is about that order of how to teach beginners but bremember, in our English language which means me and you okay, our English language we practice this our English language by speaking, learning, reading, and writing to ourselves, please teach them by this order if you can not just let me join you for this actions okay. So please what will you about it? Answer me now. Ask me the reason why I said that our English language but if already about reason then you are great to keep it up okay. Thanks for reading my massage.
Thank you so much for the incredible content. So practical and valuable. What I'm struggling with when teaching English to beginners is how much should I use our native language. I'll be thankful if you make a video on this too.❤️
Thanks as always!!! I always enjoy your videos and going back and forth from your one on one explanations to the demos. These videos are excellent motivation for me. Keep up the good work. ✌
I'm so confused now, I've taught for a long time but I've always felt that😮what I do is not enough for my students. I actually do most of the principles mentioned here but my point is how to really see them advance if we have just 1 class a week, and it's 2 hours eventually becoming 1 and a half. How can I especially promote speaking with beginners?, that's why they go to the course to speak, but how to do it if they don't have vocabulary to express themselves? I'm feeling very frustrated 😢😢 help!!!

I think it would be the same as teaching a language with a different alphabet. I’m learning Japanese and I had to start at the very beginning by learning which sound each symbol makes (for hiragana and katakana).
You could use phonics resources aimed at teaching young children to read.

so i am currently teaching english for junior hingschool student. when i asked him what his target for getting an extra lesson in english, he just say he wants to get to know more vocabs. but the problem is, his teacher in school keeps teaching him random material for english lessons. i got confused what should i focus on my tutoring. not to mention my student dont want to take his english speaking/writing into the next level (?) he refuse to use it in his study or taking an english proviciency tests. idk what and how i should teach him lol
I like you my boy, I also lived in Prague for 4 years, a wonderful memory
Yes you are amazing as you said, thank you for this helpful vedeo
Super helpful content - especially as teaching students who aren't familiar with Roman script. Where can we go for lesson plans for these beginners. Fluentize doesn't seem to have many beginner lessons. Most beginner lessons require some level of reading and vocab prior to starting the course. I am having trouble finding total beginner resources.
No digo que este mal, pero si quieres enseñar a principiante, habla para principiantes
Thanks for the vid. I have to do some research about this topic bc a friend of mine I met some time ago really needs help at school and my English grades in general are really good [proud] lmao. I'm 16, living in Austria so we mostly talk either in German or in Turkish (we are both Turks). I hope that I can help her with the grades, already got her studyplan that she is using at her school. It was a helpful video, keep it up 💪🏻
Appreciated! Good luck 👍
All you are saying is about that order of how to teach beginners but bremember, in our English language which means me and you okay, our English language we practice this our English language by speaking, learning, reading, and writing to ourselves, please teach them by this order if you can not just let me join you for this actions okay. So please what will you about it? Answer me now. Ask me the reason why I said that our English language but if already about reason then you are great to keep it up okay.
Thanks for reading my massage.
Do you have video for young children who are no read no write? How to teach them?
Thank you Chris, that was very helpful.
We are still waiting for the next video.
I will like to study with you .thank you for the lesson.
Thank you so much for the incredible content. So practical and valuable. What I'm struggling with when teaching English to beginners is how much should I use our native language. I'll be thankful if you make a video on this too.❤️
I’ve got 3 videos with beginners. Check them all out! Thanks for the kind words
Thank you for valuable information given.
Hi this can help me. Thank you.
Assume they know nothing is my favorite tip
Not sure if there fundamentals, but nice tips
Will one instructor teach every subject or will students have a different teacher for each class? Please express ur views on it
Do you think it's a good idea to assign a diagnostic test for absolute beginners or not? In their very first session
Please tell me some information about that programme I wanna be an English teacher
is there a TTT, Drilling, Eliciting and graded language video?? I loved this video, very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I already found :) :) thanks
Great video! Can you explain what TTT means? Thank you!
I shall answer my own question, as now I know. TTT means teacher talk time. As opposed to STT which is student talk time
Thanks a lot❤
You're welcome 😊
Precise points. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
I’ll get the new vid out in about 10 days! I’ve been a bit busy at school 🏫
I am one of your big fans sir from India👍🏻. Your explanation is superb.
Thanks 🙏
My Man Chris... Excelente job!! I'm waiting for the second part
Such an amazing tips, thank you so much Chris. I will apply all your tips.
Thanks as always!!! I always enjoy your videos and going back and forth from your one on one explanations to the demos. These videos are excellent motivation for me. Keep up the good work. ✌
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
I am from Indian student
Thanks for the teachers.
The best thing for beginning a nice week is watching your new video .Thanks a million times.
You’re welcome!
the best teacher in teaching. Efficient: few words and a lot of content.
We love these teaching tips! Thanks!
I am not a teacher(yet), but loved every single advice you gave 👏👏👏
I'm so confused now, I've taught for a long time but I've always felt that😮what I do is not enough for my students. I actually do most of the principles mentioned here but my point is how to really see them advance if we have just 1 class a week, and it's 2 hours eventually becoming 1 and a half. How can I especially promote speaking with beginners?, that's why they go to the course to speak, but how to do it if they don't have vocabulary to express themselves? I'm feeling very frustrated 😢😢 help!!!
There are a few other videos in the series that might help. Check the description
