Having some time lately, I had been surfing on the internet the other day. Looking for innovative, unique, inspiring thoughts that We have never used this year, to delight my kids. Honestly I was stunned by the magnitude of info existing regarding it.
It's pretty much unlimited. Many people are happy to write about their lessons to support other people or just because they have got plenty of time on their hands. Also a lots of teachers are more then content to talk about their knowledge with the community.
Looking for quite some time but couldn’t get what I preferred. Just before I thought stop searching, I came across this great page simply by accident about EFL teaching.
I show a little piece of information from it below. It really would make the job easier. There is a twitter stream with fresh video clips straight from the class. I absolutely appreciate the hard work they put in to create the blogposts. As it is with all the things it should be customized to our requirements yet that's fine. The key part is to keep the wheels going regardless how many problems are on the road.
"Almost all education has a political motive: it aims at strengthening some group, national or religious or even social, in the competition with other groups. It is this motive, in the main, which determines the subjects taught, the knowledge offered and the knowledge withheld, and also decides what mental habits the pupils are expected to acquire. Hardly anything is done to foster the inward growth of mind and spirit; in fact, those who have had the most education are very often atrophied in their mental and spiritual life. Bertrand Russell"

ESL books are one of the best choices to teach vocabulary for English learners. Involve kids with the story that can help them to start talking.
It is important for children to know when it is story time. My class always look forward to listening to some new interesting tales as we have certain time of the week to have a story to tell or a book to read. It can be used as a reward at the end of the week or planned whenever the content fit in with a certain lesson plan.
You can teach a lot of new things to your class and supported by stories to help children with greater and deeper understanding. Stories entertain and through this entertainment it is easier to remember things.
As you teach children it is needless to say how much more they can learn if they are interested in a topic. And who wouldn't be interested if you show them a fancy book cover? Their fantasy starts working on the spot. Their curiosity and their brain suddenly want to know everything about the book that you are holding in front of them. They begin to wonder, Who? Where? When? Why? Who else? Etc…
Here we come, inquiry based learning. It will help children to understand and learn things faster and without you or them make a great effort.
If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
Albert Einstein
Story Books in English can be used as a base of a role-play so even the shy ones are willing to participate as they have some ready-made sentences to say. Or they can be the part of the chorus and use the language without noticing it. You can also make them use their imagination with some directed questions such as what if…? or what would…? Ask them to predict future happenings as well. So they can practice future tense and conditional.
Best way to teach sequence is to have a story book to read. Download, write some sentences or draw about the main happenings, sort children into groups and ask to put sentences into the right order. It helps kids to interact with each other without fear and learn a lot of new things in a fun way.
Do follow up art activities when children can design settings, draw or make the characters to act the story out later.
Of course it needs some preparation beforehand to get all the benefits that a book can offer you. It is also crucial to think about the vocabulary that children are able to understand and to get them involved the content has to fit in with their age and interest. You can check out our great selection of entertaining.
