It’s coming up to all the craziness of going back to school. And for me that means lots and lots and lots of emails from you guys.
Whilst I still reply to every email I do get a lot of the same questions from many people, so for the next few weeks I’ll be doing a few Facebook Live video sessions covering some of them.
The first one is online now, so check it out,
Some of what we covered today:
- What makes you teach English for 20 years?
- How to balance between games and teaching?
- Are there any games for teaching grammar or improving kids’ abilities?
- Should we have letters on flashcards?
- Is there a way to teach in a joyful way in high school?
- Speaking activities for classes with more than 20 children
- How to persuade my boss to use Genki English?
And quite a bit more! Check it out now!
P.S. To make sure you don’t miss out on future sessions, be sure to like the Genki English Facebook page and set the notifications to “on” if you’d like to join me and ask a question live!
It’s funny that you encourage teaching games to adults.
I’m often surprised that really serious teacher’s cry ‘don’t ever teach games because you’ll lose the trust.’ On the one hand, perhaps they have a point that maintaining a serious and strictly formal lesson is best.
On the other hand, why have so much respect for a formal lecture stance? Where you spend most of the time doing error correction and stuff like that.
Hi Roy, in most cases the teachers who don’t want games fear the loss of control in their classes. Fear can make people stick to crazy things!
