The fact that i had someone confirm that I CAN speak Italian with my students! People always tell me I should pretend i don't speak Italian. I totally don't believe in it.
Thank you that was really helpful. Unfortunately, and since it is my first teaching experience, I am still clueless about what should I teach first to a 6-year-old Tunisian boy who completely knows nothing about English. I would be really grateful if you would help me. Thank you again.
Hi Nada, well, it's not so much about WHAT you teach but about HOW you teach. No set of words (fruits, animals, body parts, etc.) is more important than another so that you feel you have to teach one before the others. We don't learn language simply by learning lists of words. Children put together language through their daily interactions and experiences and it is that way when they learn a second language, too. Of course, when learning a second language occurs "on purpose" (ie , in the second-language classroom as opposed to "living" in a second language all day), teachers need to take some extra steps to accompany the natural style of learning that children have. I will be launching my method on the global market very soon. I think it would be helpful for you. You can learn more about it, following this link: www.englishisfun.it/english-landing-page Thanks for connecting!
Hi, I'm glad this could help! To answer your question, it really depends on the age. My kids are really quite young- from about 3 to 8 and at this age they don't have the necessary cognitive skills to understand grammatical rules yet (even in their native language..), especially things like verb tenses. My method teaches the language through the development of the learning skills and includes a particular linguistic approach that allows them to understand what is being said even if they have no previous experience with English; this allows me to just "use" the language in a very natural way. I'm very excited to announce that soon my method will be available to teachers everywhere (and not just in Italy, where I live). If you would like to know a little about me and my method, follow this link: www.englishisfun.it/english-landing-page Thanks for your views!
Exactly thats what i thought. My kids r also between 5-9 age group and i was thinking may b going for verbs and tenses is a bit tougher way to teach them. Going to check the link. Thanks alot
Hi, I´m Mexican and I´m 18 years old. I want to teach English to my brother that is 10 years old. He´s really hyperactive and it´s kinda difficult for him to focus, so in his classes of English at school he´s not speacially motivated to learn it... we can´t afford a particular teacher so I´m trying to give him lessons by seeing videos and stuff. I liked your video a lot, so god job! By the way I wanted to ask, if i should speak him in English or its okay to keep talking Spanish while I´m teaching him English?
Hi Mayra! I love Mexico!! I used to travel to Mexico a lot for work :-) If you're brother is hyperactive, then a passive activity like watching videos is not going to help him much. Have you seen these videos? They might help you: th-cam.com/video/rvrgwoLyHOs/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/_V63FtyB40M/w-d-xo.html , and th-cam.com/video/6SV7c4YX4vM/w-d-xo.html (even if your brother doesn't have a learning disability I think this will apply.) About switching to Spanish when you teach him: I usually don't recommend it. I've done a lot of videos about that, too, if you want to check them out. Let me know how you get on! Take care! xxx
I was wondering if a child can be taught the same word in 3 different languages at the same time. I was planning to play 3 different languages toys one after another. After child say the word in one language then I will play a talking toy in another language for the same word and so on. Thank you
Hi, research has shown that children can learn up to 7 languages at once. Probably more, too, although there are not enough children growing up with more than that to actually conduct a study! The trick is that the kids are able to do so because there is real human interaction. Unfortunately, a talking toy doesn't provide that. To a young child the words spoken by the toy will just be new sounds which they may learn to reproduce but they have no way of understanding that they are different languages.
Do you have any tips or can direct me where to go to get info about teaching kids their mother language as a second language. These kids are the one whos parents , grandparents and their whole community speak mother language but they don't BC they are born and living in the USA. Oh and we see this kids only on Sunday to teach them their mother language
Have you checked out my method, English is Fun! ? Do so at this link: www.englishisfun.it/english-landing-page Even though it is for teaching ENGLISH to kids, it can actually work the other way around and help you teach ANY LANGUAGE to kids. I would love to get on a call with you and explain in a little more detail, if you like. Write me an email at info@englishisfun.it. Thanks for watching and I'm glad my videos are of help!
helllo! thanks for yr interesting video! I have a question: when teaching kids enlish (as a foreign language), supposing they know NOTHING english, would you go for translating your saying in their Mother tongue or rather speaking english ONLY?. thank you so much!
I'm for speaking English only BUT.... in a particular way :-) If children are learning a second language but speaking it all day and not jsut in a specific class (like foreign children who move to a new country, for example), then they will learn the language easily and quickly, with no particular effort on their part or "technique" on behalf of the others (teachers, friends at school, etc.) But when we talk about a foreign language "course", just talking is not enough. It has to be done in a particular way. You might be interested in checking out my method: www.englishisfun.it/english-landing-page
To a certain extent you are right. But I feel there are advantages to teaching others when they are forced to think in English. I work with Russian speaking children and adults and they are forced to break out of their comfort zone when their Russian is limited.
Thanks for the insight! I do agree with you somewhat when dealing with older children but with the age group I work with (pre-school), it's a bit delicate. Not impossible but you have to make sure you are speaking in a way that the kids understand (and that is one of the main pillars of my method, English is Fun!) How old are your students?
Which tip was most helpful to you?
Looking in the eyes to capture their attention
@@gladnessisaac5880 glad it helped! What age group do you teach?
the "noise" tip hhhh very tricky
@@badiyanabadiya991 great!

Whats ur thought on teaching the kids basics like tenses first before the language itself

Why does a teacher beat st
sorry? I didn't understand your question.
Excellent ideas. Your off-the-shoulder top is very distracting, maybe inappropriate for the classroom?
