    Write numbers, names ,dates and some ticks and crosses for yes and no. Students guess the sentences they belong to. For example a tick,”You’re married.” Make it a competition for how many correct, or correct English, or a written exercise as a diagnostic or to practice the language.

    • @etacude
      @etacude  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Electine - you'll want to break the class into chunks - do icebreaker, then teach concept or grammar, practice with students, give them activity to practice, feedback: students share what they've learned, play game to check understanding. I hope this helps!

      For young learners try the M&M game. You'll have to buy a few small packets per group of learners ~ but they enjoy it.

    • @etacude
      @etacude  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I understand, Saniyat. This is especially difficult for students that are either really short or tall, and other students might tease them about it.
      But what should we do? We won't always be there to shield them from bad feelings. Instead we should see it as a teaching opportunity - explain to students that making fun of it may be hurtful, also help the student take control and improve their self image by teaching strategies to deal with it.
