Thank you! Glad you liked it! :))

Thank you very much, Hilary! Your comment means a lot to me. Seriously. ❤I am actually working on a video that will show the process of turning theory into practice. I will go through each element of my lesson plan and show how the written word comes to life through various games and activities in a real classroom. The point is to show that lesson plans help you "see" the lesson before it happens.

Fantastic - can't wait! Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks for watching! 🌹

You have a good ear! Thank you! I shot this video after teaching six lessons. Also, I wasn't fully recovered from my cough, but I tried my best to hide it. 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏

Good question! Generally, for primary school, it's recommended to introduce about 4 to 6 new words per lesson. However, in middle school, it's acceptable to increase that to around 10 to 12 new words. Remember, the exact number depends on factors like students' proficiency level, age, attention span, and the complexity of the words being taught. Some students can handle 15 words. Some can barely do 3.

Thanks for watching! 👍

😂😂😂 It depends on the education program and university. Many education programs focus more on theory and research forgetting about the practical teaching skills. Practical teaching skills often require hands-on experience, ongoing mentorship, and opportunities for reflection and feedback, which may be challenging to provide within the framework of a university course.

The words in Chinese are the translations of the English words. English is a phonetic language whereas Chinese is a pictogram-based language which means that Chinese cannot alter the "spelling" of a word to express a change in meaning as it is done in English. Chinese has no prefixes or suffixes and instead uses auxiliary words to express moods, cases and voices. As a teacher, you must also remember that Chinese has no articles, no singular or plural nouns, no distinction between countable and non-countable nouns, no verb tenses because Chinese verbs do not express time, but simply action, no nominative cases, etc. :)

@@Teacher-Val wow. Very interesting. I am not Arab and I teach a class of predominantly Arab speakers. Your reply made me think that I should perhaps look at the Arabic language and the difference between Arabic and English more closely to cater to my ESL learners.

@@nidajk8565 Yes, I think you should. 😉 It's easy to assume that students grasp everything we teach them, but what seems straightforward to us might be confusing or even incomprehensible for them. It's helpful to compare the students' native language (L1) with the language we're teaching to understand any differences.

Thank you, Martina! Starting teacher or not, you have my respect! Teaching 50 students is not a small deed. 🌹❤👍

I agree. 100%. I always check comprehension with zero beginners to make sure they understand everything correctly.

I see my students once a week. Each class is 40 min long. A few years ago, however, I used to teach the same class every day. When I did that, I never taught more than 4 words in each class.

What about now? Do you still teach 4-6 words for each class? It means only 4-6 words a week

@@MiftaAstikaSari The students in my school have English classes every day, but they have my class only once a week. Yes, I try my best to teach 4-6 words/class because, IMHO, it renders the best results.

That's great... Every day. In my case, we only teach English/Arabic once a week for 1 or 1.5 hour. I'm from Indonesia.

Glad you like it, Maria!!

@@Teacher-Val How are you now? Are you feel alright now? I hope your feeling better ❣️👍

You're welcome 😊

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

My pleasure 😊

Thanks! 🌹
