I'm an English teacher and I'm still lacking of how I can teach EFL students so I browse through ytube and I found this video. you really are creative and I like all of your activities. I am planning to do some activities with my students as well. wishing me a good luck😅
Lots of great ideas! My favourites are the ones that get students out of their seats, moving around the classroom and talking to their classmates. Basically, student-centred to the max.
Charlie those are some great creative games. I like how many of them involve discussing reasons or coming up with excuses for things; gets them outside the ordinary routine of just describing what they know
I liked your activities. All of them are clear and understandable to get students to speak. I liked money in my bag and taboo activity 😊 Thank you for making the video.
Thank you so much for such interesting activities with great examples. I was confused what should I suggest for my students, but now I'm so motivated and excited. Also thank you for being so positive
This is helpful for students who already know how to read and speak in English. What about students just entering the country who do not know how to read or speak any English at all?
Daily Conversations: Engage in regular conversations with native speakers or language exchange partners to practice and improve fluency. Listen Actively: Regularly listen to English podcasts, news, or audiobooks to expose yourself to different accents, vocabulary, and speech patterns. Mimic Pronunciation: Repeat sentences or passages from English speakers to work on pronunciation and intonation. Utilize Language Apps: Leverage language-learning apps that provide speaking exercises and feedback to enhance your oral skills. Record Yourself: Record and review your spoken English to identify areas for improvement and track progress over time. Join Discussion Groups: Participate in online forums or discussion groups where you can share opinions and ideas in English, gaining valuable speaking practice. Watch English Films/TV Shows: Pay attention to the dialogue, mimic expressions, and immerse yourself in the language to improve comprehension and conversational skills.
Speaking is by far the most difficult to learn. As a native speaker, our advantage lies in speaking so that is the only thing I teach. There's more to it than most would think. For example, you've got to be knowledgeable on enough topics to talk about more than just that surface level stuff that you demonstrated in the mirror lol.
Obviously the mirror was just a joke but you're right, to be able to speak you must also have something to say! And you can't speak on much at all if you're not knowledgeable enough in general.
@@CharliesLessons yup! Many of my students seek to improve their English by focusing on pronunciation and vocab. After a handful of lessons, they usually tell me that the interesting topics that we discuss really helps them "unlock" their potential
I’ve recently discovered your channel. This is genius! So helpful. This is the most difficult task for my students. However, would you recommend using dictionaries with those students who don’t know much vocabulary? Regards from Écija, Seville, .
I wouldn't use dictionaries myself with low level learners. You as the teacher need to decide what vocabulary they need to get by at the beginning. Focus on high-frequency words. Once they are at a higher level then you can start widening their range.
Activity number 2, sounds very good, but I don't understand how you can give a point for a correct piece of information about their partner if you have never met the students before. How do you know ? Can you elaborate or did I miss something

Thanks Charlie! Amazing!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot Charlie !
You are welcome!
Great ideas, thanks for the shout out.
No problem Sir Harry!
Thank youu.. I love the monkeys in my bag .. the most inspirative activity.
You are so kind! Go check out Renewable English as it was his idea!
Activity number 2, sounds very good, but I don't understand how you can give a point for a correct piece of information about their partner if you have never met the students before. How do you know ? Can you elaborate or did I miss something
The students would need to tell you if it's true or not.
Thank you I like this vedios
So nice of you to say!
thank you!
sounds good
Thanks!!!
loved it. Thanks :)
You're welcome 😊 Any particular speaking activity you preferred?
Thanks for your suggestions. Just some viewer feedback... the music playing while you speak is very distracting.
I know, it was one of my earlier videos and now I don't put music anymore.
I could not understand activity number three. Can you make a separate video for that?
The name of the game is Taboo. I'm sure you can find some info elsewhere that's clearer.
Tysm
You're welcome!
Am teaching my student how to speak English but I have find out that it's still a long process .what other tactics can I use to help her
Make sure you give the student regular practice. You must be patient.
Thanks
Welcome
Loving TH-cam
Me too!
I think listening i the most difficult to master not just for learners but for everyone....they hear but not listen1
Thanks for the video. It could be better if you speak more loudly.
Will do
The ideas are brilliant but the music is annoying
Thanks for the feedback. My videos since then don't have music.
I didn’t even notice the music until I read this comment 🤦♀️ Now I’m fixating on it….I gotta stop going to the comment section 😂
Turn off the voice completely,turn on the subtitles👍
I like it, but it could be a little more quiet
Um do you know how much levels there are for low people could you please respond thank you. 😊😀
Do you mean what are the low levels of English?
No audio sound
Explain please
Casually teaching kids to skip class by training them to come up with believable excuses. I wished I know how to do that during college, lmao.
You and me both!
Hahahah when he gave some time to the poor watches who can’t smile 😂
Light a candle for all those clocks out there....😭😭
❤❤
Thank you. But could you please make your video louder, please
Yes my latest videos don't include background music.

@@CharliesLessons Thank u

MIND BLOWN
You've never been surfing. Right?
Nope, guess again!

@@CharliesLessons BTW I've been teaching for a very very long time, but I love your ideas and fun presentation

I think that your running three times a week is completely false.
You sound confident! And you're wrong!

Is my voice too quiet?
Not given😂
You have never been surfing
YOU, you are the first person that has actually answered the question in the video! However, I HAVE been surfing. Guess again!
