💪 MY BOYS! ADORE THEM! 💪
This is my A2 Myzhik Group! Ivan and his brother Little Nick at the top, Big Nick centre left, George, Eilsey centre right, and Sasha! Sadly Dima was absent this day😭
This group is a classic example of a success story. We started off at A1, almost complete beginners 6 weeks ago, but recently I bumped them up to A2 because my lads have been working so damn hard and are already able to string together complete and accurate full sentences without errors. A1 just seemed like a waste of time. 👌
🧐 Returning to teaching teens, like these boys above, after a longgggg break has reminded me of a few things:
👉🏻 The first job of a teacher with new students before worrying about accuracy and fluency etc is for students to break out of their shells. Creating trust before anything else is paramount! ✅
👉🏻 Forget "guided discovery bollocks!" MODEL the language until you're blue in the face. When students have exposure to structure and examples, they're confident in producing something because they have something to draw from.✅
👉🏻 Within the first week I stopped trying to be adventurous with elaborate tasks. I keep them as simple as possible. The more elaborate a task is, the more brain power is spent by students trying to decipher the instructions rather than producing the English. ✅
👉🏻 A huge part of a teen's success happens before joining my class... they have good parents! ✨ I am blessed because the parents of all my kids are amazing and extremely responsible. I thank you for that!🤩
Whether it's my A1 kids, or my C1 teens and all the others, I have rediscovered my love for teaching because of them!❤️
