When I started teaching, I found that once I began to analyse the language more deeply, such as understanding what "be" actually means and when... Then there was a whole universe of material and perspectives to explore with the students! From the macro levels down to the micro-levels, through to figuring out how to graphically depict grammar (as a tool to represent situations accurately, rather than it being just a mindless set of parroted rules), and so much more. My point is, teachers can get out of tricky situations by figuring out, in depth, when not in the classroom. what it actually "is" that they are actually teaching about, using words. Seeing a student understand that "big" actually means "using a lot of space", and "bigger" means "using more space", and then "the biggest" means "using the most space", instead of just parroting the words "big", "bigger", "the biggest" - is extremely gratifying. *_What do English words actually refer to?_* It's a big question that is not answered by simply parroting dictionaries. It is a thought exercise that enriches the teacher's own understanding and philosophy, quite profoundly. And one that leads to a myriad of options of ideas, and activities, when inexperienced teachers get stuck.
Chris, these are amazing tips. I do feel more confident in teaching since I started following your channel. I can try my best to practice these tips but "only L2" is the most challenging one for me. I teach at a vocational high school and the level is almost on the ground. Next week new semester is going to begin, and this year I will be more determined in terms of following these tips. Once again, thank you very much. Ahmet from Türkiye 🙋🏻
You offer some great tips. I'm not sure if you listed them in any order of priority, but I think you could rearrange the order a bit. For example, I think that setting the goal of the class should be much higher up the list, and it is a natural segue into student engagement.
Hi Chris! I teach ESL in Brazil. My classes are all online with only one student at a time. Private English lessons for adults. I've been an ESL teacher for 7 years, and been doing my thing online for three. Do you have any resources on that? I'd love to improve. I'd love to pay for some feedback on my classes. They work fine, but I know there is room to improve.
My speciality is more in-person classes, but I could definitely help you. First, do you have a membership to Fluentize.com? I would definitely get a year membership (use my code CHRIS20 for 20% off). Seriously, this is the best resource for online teachers.
Hello sir! I have masters in English literature and teaching at a Private college, I have been stuck in my career, Now I have decided to polish my skill by doing different course and I chose TESOL or TEFL for my personal grooming, Kindle suggest me any online platform for it also tell me about authenticity of Coursera & World TESOL Academy.
The best way to master your voice is to practice. First work on your volume. Then work on speaking slowly, clearly, but also in an engaging way. Eventually, it will all sound natural!
Hi Chris, why is it that you invite us to join classes but don't reply emails. Do you have special email address different from the one on your website?
Hey❤ Idk you're gonna see this comment or not .... But .... I wanna say thank you so much I have been studying English since i was 5 and now im 21 and i wanna teach ❤😅its 6 months i have been starting teaching but i faced plenty problems these days which i don't know how solve it Now i think my ming is so clear I feel like my selfconfidence ame back😂❤
Unfortunately I am the funny but shit teacher, I'm probably going to get fired soon. That's what happens when you're left with no feedback on your teaching methods for a while. I need a different job.

No order at all to the videos! I would agree that having your goal would be right there at the top!
Great Video loved it so much, your energy and gestures trully makes me listen the whole video ^-^
That's great! Thanks so much. I'm still relatively new to TH-cam and the feedback helps a lot.

wow thanks for this lesson i just wander about how can I master voice
The best way to master your voice is to practice.
First work on your volume.
Then work on speaking slowly, clearly, but also in an engaging way. Eventually, it will all sound natural!
Most wonderful learning video

How do you deal with people talking in class?

A stern look usually does the trick
