Course Content
A
Speech Language in Junior Sessions
Speech is so important in classes. It helps the students have a better connection with the teacher. Here are several tips for using good speech in junior sessions:
>> Use facial expression, intonation and TPR
>> Slow down your pace and use the economy of words
>> Use a questioning tone
>> Use positive praise
1. Use facial expression, intonation and TPR
The attention span of junior students is short. Combine your positive intonation, facial expression and TPR together to make the class active and more exciting to listen to.
2. Slow down your pace and use the economy of words
When talking to young students, slow down your pace and ensure they can hear you clearly in order to follow you.
3. Use a questioning tone
The questioning tone can sound more inviting for the students to answer your questions. It can also be used when correcting the students’ mistakes.
4. Positive praise
Positive praise can encourage students to contribute more in class, like “Come on!” “I like that!” “Brilliant answer!”

Teach with Passion
Passion is connected with our attitude: how we feel about the material and being excited to deliver the information with conviction to our students. Teaching with passion holds the student’s attention, and it helps students to recognize that this is important for them to learn.
Here are three tips for teaching with passion:
For juniors
>> Be excited
>> Have good eye contact
>> Apply fun activities
For adults
>> Convey interests
>> Listen to students patiently
>> Acknowledge the student’s reply
For juniors
1. Be excited
Find something in the material that can create excitement in your class. Make learning interesting for kids.
2. Have good eye contact
Looking and smiling at the camera can make the student think that you are paying full attention to them.
3. Apply fun activities
We need to have energy with kids. Find some fun games that can help with learning and interaction. We would kindly suggest that every teacher prepare at least one listening or speaking game that can be applied in every junior session if it is needed.
For adults
1. Convey interests
Prepare and find something interesting in the topic or material that clients can relate to. Explain why we find that interesting and see if they think the same as us.
2. Listen to students patiently
Adult students will have their own ideas and opinions. It is important to listen to what they say and express your interest in their ideas. Then, invite them to express themselves more.
3. Acknowledge the student’s reply
We don’t want to disturb the student when they are expressing their ideas. We usually wait for the student to finish their answer, type out their answer, then give necessary correction. Be sure to give warm suggestion and encouragement.

Time Management
Timing can be one of the most challenging parts of teaching. How to distribute the time on students and on the material can be very challenging, even for the most experienced teachers. Here are several tips for you:
>> Be familiar with the material
>> Follow the teaching guide
>> Work with the student
1. Be familiar with the material
Prepare before the session starts. You can see the student’s information and the material days before the session starts. There is a part called ‘Main Points’ in the teaching guide, which you may check as the main information for students to learn in the class. Also, make sure you know the learning objectives in every class, so that you can know what the students need to master after they finish this class.
2. Follow the teaching guide
Pay attention to the number of pages in the material and suggested time on each section in the TG. Based on the suggestions on the TG, you may adapt your time a bit more or less in each section. But, doubling the teaching time or skipping some activities in the material is not suggested because that might affect the teaching results for students.
3. Work with the student
Students have different language abilities. Some can learn very fast on new language, but others can be very slow. If the student is a fast learner, add more extension questions to them. If the student is slow in learning, slow down your speaking rate and pay more attention to their understanding.

Typing Out When You Ask Students Questions or Want Them to Answer
Typing out your questions and the student’s answer can help most Asian learners understand structuring and listening, since they have better reading skills. Also, you can use the notes to correct the student’s mistakes and restructure the sentences.
Here are some tips:
>> Circle the mistake with the whiteboard tools
>> Type out/restructure the correct sentence
>> Concept checking questions
1. Circle the mistake with the whiteboard tools
Type out the student’s answer and use the whiteboard tools to circle or highlight the key words or the pronunciation mistakes made by the student. That will make the student visually realize their mistakes.
2. Restructure the correct sentence
After you typed out the student’s answer and the sentence structure is not formally organized, use the whiteboard to reorganize the sentence and practice it with the student.
3. Concept checking questions
Understand the most important and basic teaching objective to reach in every session. Please check the student’s understanding after you asked them the question, and also check their understanding of the corresponding answer.

Error Correction for Adults-Attitude
What kind of teaching attitude appeals to you when you are in a lesson? How would you want them to give correction?
Try these tips:
>> Patience
>> Tone of voice
>> Encouragement
1. Patience
Patience is an important quality of teachers. A teacher needs to invite responses from the student, maintain positive poise, smile and have appropriate body language.
2. Tone of voice
Tone of voice is so important when correcting; your voice reflects your mood. A positive tone can help students feel more comfortable when being corrected.
3. Encouragement
Use positive and encouraging phrases to give your students encouragement and build their confidence, instead of fearing to make mistakes. Encouraging phrases can be “Excellent,” “Great try,” etc.
