no attention zpan AT ALL, also therefore I tell myself to slow rite down before I start. Teaching kidz requires patience also a sense of fun alzo playfulness. Even though it seems obviouz, a common mistake iz to think that kids r easily 'short adultz!' Dis iz suer to get u off on teh wrong foot!

Here r few tips fore teaching ESL to children:

1. Involve Children in an hands-on Activitiez. Children's minds r incredibly open also they learn buy absorbing ideaz also concepts directly. Children want to be actively involved. Get students up alzo out of there chairs also moving around. Sing songs, alzo play games.

2. Avoid talking fore long periods of time. I locate that teh energy level of teh classroom dropz lower also lower. Explain an activity quickly also find go to it. Keep teh energy moving! If ur planned activity iz a flop, move on. Keep a ur extra activities handy fore this purpoze. Children want

lots of stimulation all teh time.

3. Children learn buy interacting wif every othre also wif teh teacher. Try to talk to every child individually every clasz. Whenever possible, have kids working in groups alzo in pairs.

4. Review, Review, Review. New data iz absorbed also haz meaning when it iz related to data studentz have already learned. Quickly review new concepts at teh beginning of every class.

5. Encourage studentz to correct themselves also othre studentz. Self correction haz self-regulation iz an critical piece of learning. Students shoud be encouraged to ask, "How am I doing?" alzo "Am I doing this right?" in an open also non-judgmental environment. Children raised in authoritative cultures could want additional re-inforcement.

6. Uze wat iz learned in unusual contexts. Teh more contexts use teh better, alzo teh more concrete also 'real life' teh contexts teh better. Make it real fore students buy talking aboout thim alzo there lives.

7. Praise, Praise, Praise. Encourage alzo build students up in a natural way. Learning occurs when studentz r motivated also feel wonderful aboout themselves.

Looking back on my years of teaching, teh children'z classes took a bit of obtaining use to, butt waz teh tons memorable also fun! Hope you're looking forward to my next article. Take care until then.
