I forgot about using the fingers. Especially when they might be missing a verb or article in a sentence. Never learned or used the complete sentence one. Great reminder of these gestures. I also like to use a rolling motion with one hand to indicate more details.
Thanks for this useful information, Martin. Just one thing There's a bit of echo and poor sound quality on this video. I don't know if you had a problem with your microphone. It might be an idea or check it or change it. You could get a simple lavalier mike for a few quid, if you don't want to invest in a more expensive external one.
Thanks William for your message and apologies for the poor audio quality. I was having issues with my editing software also but I’m thinking of investing in a wireless lavalier microphone in the near future so hopefully audio quality will be better. Take care William and stay safe.
a very good gesture that I think you didn't mention is raising your eyebrows and nodding your head briefly to tell them they are going in the right direction or shaking your head a little bit if they are making a mistake( also raising slightly your eyebrows)
That's a very good point and I actually include this gesture in my teaching. Perhaps I do this so naturally now that it takes a kind reminder. Thank you ever so much for reminding me. 😊
Let's gesture and look like lunatics together lol!!!
So helpful! Thanks!!
Make a video on appricateing gesture for students
Amazing tips as always. :)
TPR completely slipped my mind and it's tremendously useful when we're dealing with slow conx or delayed voice etc.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing. 😃
Can you do a video explaining the teacher edition textbook
I’d be happy to do such a video. Just a quick question, what do you mean by teacher edition textbook?
@@ELTExperiences
The teachers annotated edition
@@ELTExperiences
The textbook that the teacher uses that has the answers to the student edition textbook
@@ELTExperiences
The teachers textbook that had the answer jey
I’m sorry but I don’t know what you mean. Do you mean a teacher’s book for a course book?
