Hi Val. Great exercise,but I'd change the positions in a hamburger: as we make a real hamburger and start from the bottom and then the last thing is the top, then it's better I think! Thank you so much for your videos!You are a great teacher!👍👍👍👍👍❤
Yeah, that's a good idea and it is more logical. Thank you!

I love every one of your videos! I'm a new teacher and your lessons, tips and recommendations have help me a lot. Thanks, you're an excellent teacher and an inspiration! I'm looking forward to be at least a little that good.
OMG, thank you so much for this comment, Yeveria! I am so happy my videos help!! Teaching is never easy. I know it like no one else. You may feel frustrated, lost, challenged, and judged at times but it is the most rewarding experience in the world because you are sharing what you know and lighting the way for future generations. Students learn more from who you are than from what you teach, so you are affecting many lives. Keep going, dear Yeveria!
@@Teacher-Val Thanks for your reply, teacher Val. Yes, these first days teaching have been very challenging. I had no idea of how to teach the children. But thinks to your videos I'm doing it now, and students seem to enjoy a lot the lessons. Thanks again. And keep up the good work. :)
@@yeveriadeleonfernandez2008 Happy to hear it! Which grades are you teaching? If you ever need any help, please let me know!
@@Teacher-Val I'm teaching third grade. But this is the first time they learn English at school. In my country they start taking English in 3rd grade, which I think is wrong, but there's nothing we can do. The other problem is we are given a curriculum and we have to teach topics and contents too advanced for their level of English. And I only have one lesson each week. There's so much to teach them and so little time. They don't have much time to practice. It's frustrating if I think too much about all the obstacles. But I just try to include in every lesson the basics they need to learn first, like phonics, colors, etc. I had many ideas watching your videos. Thanks teacher, Val!
@@Teacher-Val I'm also teaching 8th graders, and tomorrow I'll have a practice lesson and I was looking for a fun way to make the students practice, and I just saw your Kaboom Game, it's perfect! Thank you, teacher 😀!
good sir you teach really great. have a nice day teacher and please share more video about writing and how to read very fast and etc... that you know.
Thank you. I'll see what I can do.

Very good! Do you have anything on essays?
Yes, I do, but I am not sure I want to make a video about it. Not too many people are interested in essay writing. :)

Teacher val I’m so confused by the difference between EFL and ESL learners. Students from China are EFL Learners?
Yes, students in China are EFL learners.
There is a common confusion between TESOL, CELTA, TEFL, and TESL. TESOL means Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from a North American perspective. CELTA means Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults developed by Cambridge University. Teaching methods are based on a British perspective. TEFL means Teaching English as a Foreign Language (or teaching English in a non-native English speaking country, e.g., teaching English in China to Chinese speakers). TESL means Teaching English as a Second Language (or teaching English in a native English speaking country, e.g., teaching English in the US to Spanish speakers)
Do you do one on one tutoring?
No, not really. Sorry!
can you give the good and the bad of this method?
May I ask why? 😉
Can I use this method among grade 8 students?
Yes, of course! :)
Hi, Mr. How are you? When will you do presentation about alians, i am waiting for you. Next month i have open lesson. Sorry for my massage
Hello Nona! I don't have time to help you with your presentation because I am very busy with school work. Sorry!
How do you teach spelling??
Teach phonics. Introduce letters and sounds, then teach them two-letter combinations like "ch", "sh", "oo," etc. After that, you can teach them to blend different sounds in a word together.
Paragraph writing means composition??
No, it's not. A paragraph consists of a few sentences that express the same thought or idea. A composition is made up of a few paragraphs.
what is english grammer?? please teach us advance english grammer writing skills!
How do we teach reading??plz help
There are many videos dedicated to teaching reading on my channel. :)
