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.
Hi Chris Thank you so much for your videos!! Yesterday I was asked to stand in for a sick English teacher, the class was for refugees from the north of Israel in a hotel in TelAviv . My first time teaching English Your advice made it a great fun learning experience for me and the students!!! Can’t thank you enough!! Best wishes David
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 03:09 🎯 Define clear language goals for each beginner lesson, usually involving three to five questions or phrases they should be able to ask and answer. 04:02 😄 Show charisma and friendliness in your approach, especially with adult beginners who may have apprehensions. 05:24 🧠 Assume beginners know nothing and elicit vocabulary, grammatical structures, and instructions to avoid confusion. 06:11 🔊 Speak slowly and naturally to help beginners understand, as they may struggle with faster speech. 08:02 🖼️ Use visuals, props, drawing, and miming to convey meaning as beginners may not comprehend extensive verbal explanations. 11:12 ✔️ Error correct beginners consistently to help them use correct language from the start, boosting confidence and communication. 12:20 🤝 Teach contractions from day one, as they improve fluency and sound more natural in spoken English. 13:56 🔄 Drill and practice language extensively with beginners, focusing on pronunciation, spelling, forming statements and questions, and more.
"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.
🇩🇿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. 🇩🇿
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.
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
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.
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! 😅
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
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.
Thank you Chris .. after presenting IELTS and ACADEMIC for decades, with a couple of years initially presenting some Elementary, now presenting to a combined Elementary and BEGINNER community centre class .. sure need to brush up on these essential skills..
I'm currently in the heart of my TEFL certification course and came upon your channel and lessons/helpful hints. This really gives me insight and eases apprehensions as I look towards teaching English in a yet, undecided location. Thank you for this! Cheers from Canada. ☺🍁
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.
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.
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.
I am after completing a TEFL course and will be looking for a job soon. I found your videos a week ago and you are a great help with advice on how to teach beginners.
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.😊
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 👍🏻
Thank you so much, Chris! These tips really help a lot. I've been struggling lately because I find it hard to understand things from my students' perspectives, and I feel frustrated when they still don't understand after I've repeated multiple times. I think I need to be more patient and provide more repetition.🤩
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.
Thanks this was very helpful! I'm 20 and I just started teaching english to a beginner and I had no idea where to start, we only had one lesson and I found out I did half the things you said we should avoid doing 😵😂 but I'll try following your tips
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 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 have been a Spanish as a second language student at conversational Spanish schools annually since 2010 and I am leaving on April 27 to teach English to beginner and beginner intermediate in Quito Ecuador ages 15 to 28. I am watching your videos, reading TEFL for dummies, and compiling materials. Can you direct me to part two and any other of your videos that I should make sure to watch please. Thank you. Also, I have subscribed and I’m watching part one for the third time going over my notes.
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 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 💪🏻
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
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.
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
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!
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 :(.
Hello, thank you this helped me a lot! I love English and come in contact with it every day but my older brother is not the same. He is failing and my mother had tasked me with tutoring him, the problem is that i don't understand his point of view. He had studied English already for five years and just doesn't understand it. Even though that he is two years before me, I have no problem with understanding his study materials but don't know how to explain it to him, as nobody explained it to me, it just come naturally. I see it from the perspective that it is OBVIOUSLY the answer but he needs explaining WHY it is the answer, and unfortunately, I don't know how to provide this to him. If you have any advise I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you and have a amazing day. 😊
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?

Be sure you have a lot of fans from algeria ❤❤
Agreed, here from Algeria as well. This helps alot with non-native learners!

Hello, thank you this helped me a lot! I love English and come in contact with it every day but my older brother is not the same. He is failing and my mother had tasked me with tutoring him, the problem is that i don't understand his point of view. He had studied English already for five years and just doesn't understand it. Even though that he is two years before me, I have no problem with understanding his study materials but don't know how to explain it to him, as nobody explained it to me, it just come naturally. I see it from the perspective that it is OBVIOUSLY the answer but he needs explaining WHY it is the answer, and unfortunately, I don't know how to provide this to him. If you have any advise I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you and have a amazing day. 😊
I think a grammar resource might help. Check our Raymond Murphy’d grammar books. There might be some online resources available.

Hello, Chris I like your English teaching . I'm Cambia.❤
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?
Did u get any advices?? I'm an English teacher in high school in Yemen too, and I have the same problem as u.
Great advices,thank you for sharing with us! Good job!❤
Yes you are amazing as you said, thank you for this helpful vedeo
