Have a look here to see more Teachers' Questions
Hi Carlos,
With special needs classes it really is on a case-by-case basis as the
kids needs vary considerably. First of all find out what the school wants
taught, do they want the JHS curriculum taught? Or do you have a free rein?
If you are free to choose, then some of the simpler Genki English themes would be good.
Activities wise, most of the games on the site do work well with Special
Needs classes. But just start of with some simple things and then build
up from there to see how high a level the kids can go to. For example ones
that worked well in my JHS classes were Karuta , Tower Game and things like Island Hopping or Leap frog game . Songs also tend to work well, or colouring in activities also worked well if
the kids got a bit out of control!
If might also be worthwhile having a look on google for tips on how to teach kids with the specific disabilities that your students have, there are a lot of resources out there!
If you have a question then please send it in! Or if you have any comments or additions to the above messages, then please send those in as well!
Or for more questions, have a look at the main Teachers' Questions Page.
Be genki,
Richard
