I think sometimes it’s easy to slide in to the pitfall of either treating kids like adults or treating them as a solitary unit. Children are neither of these two options and that is something I love most about them! Some might have really short attention spans when compared with grown ups however they also simply soak up education like a sponge, without having lots of the preconceptions and doubts that cause adults to falter in their learning. This is the reason ESL beginners are a real joy to instruct and can make your job as a teacher so fulfilling. It’s crazy if you think that when kids are motivated and interested they could retain around 80% of a language lesson – this places them miles in front of the majority of adults!
Here are a couple of ideas to ensure that you’re giving kids the most appealing learning experience possible and getting the most reward out of your time with them as you can:
1.The very first tip is to show patience! This may sound like an obvious one… who would educate children should they did not have patience? Yet at times the best motives are tested when kids start getting restless within your lesson. ESL classes, as with any early development classes have to be set up to accommodate kids having numerous breaks and a lot of activities. Kids have brief attention spans but, by planning with this in mind, you’ll be able to stay away from feeling frustrated.
2. Keep levels of energy up! This is the reason lecture style English teaching materials have quite a low effectiveness. When looking at an hour or so of reproducing key phrases, children just lose almost all their vitality. This is such a shame as there is practically nothing more entertaining than a gang of vitalized, enthusiastic students. For this reason English language games along with other activity centered lessons are a much better choice for instructing kids languages. I think they’re almost certainly a better way of teaching different languages to grown ups too!
3. Modify your activities to permit for as many different learning styles as is possible. Children are just like us in that they all learn diversely and respond far better to different styles of teaching. For instance, certain children react well to singing or dancing. While other children just generally wish to read. Others enjoy craft time or perhaps resolving challenges in some way. If you recognize various learning styles it’s fairly simple to adapt your lesson strategy and activities to add as many as feasible.
4. Total physical response! This is actually the technical phrase for keeping kids moving around! For this reason English language games as an alternative to more immobile activities are acknowledged as the simplest way to educate ESL children in lessons. Once you get a kid moving, whether it’s jumping, skipping, or running they’ll have a lot more enjoyment and become much more enthusiastic about learning. In my experience, physical games generally have the magic ingredient for any class – laughter!
5. Attempt to make sure what you are teaching is within the framework of the child’s culture. If you’re residing in a country that has a beach life-style, design your game about going swimming and coast life. If the county is dependant on ranches and livestock commerce, integrate cows and horses in your game. As a result you will be enabling kids to connect something fresh with some thing they understand, which can make everything a lot more understandable for them.
And so whenever you plan your ESL beginners lesson don’t forget the magic ingredients – patience, energy, motion and cultural context! English language games can help with the engagement levels but you’ll have to bring the patience!

Hello everyone and welcome to Your Educational Podcast(a great place to improve your English). I am your host, Dr. Anthony and today’s podcast is called “Why learn a foreign language?”I used to ask myself this question many times when I was growing up. It was during that time that I felt I was being forced to learn a new language. When I was about thirteen years old, my family moved to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States and their first language was Spanish. So I found myself in a totally new educational system unable to understand the language. After spending an exhausting and confusing day at my new school, I would spend two hours with my private Spanish tutor. By the time I was eighteen years old, I could speak, write, and read Spanish fluently. In retrospect, I am glad that my parents encouraged me to learn a second language. Knowing a foreign-language can broaden your personal and professional experiences. Many of us will not argue that English is an important global language to master. There are also other languages that have equal importance in knowing. Spanish has become an important language In the United States. It is estimated, that approximately ten percent of the United States population consists of Hispanics, whose first language is Spanish. This statistical revelation has g a motivated many Americans to consider becoming bilingual. Another language to consider is Chinese. Despite how the world economies have been performing these days, China is a country with over 1.2 billion citizens that are very serious about learning English as a second language. Students should consider adding Chinese to their studies. Many universities are encouraging her students to take part in the exchange programs and studying abroad. The new opportunities to further our education have put an overwhelming burden on us to succeed. You will find that once you have mastered your foreign-language skills, it will open up doors to many possibilities. You can use your foreign language skills in many areas, for example, the health field, banking, government service, teaching, flight attendant, hotel management and the list goes on and on. Proficiency in a language puts you at a higher bracket to be hired by a potential employer. Business companies want their employees to be able to cross cultural barriers. This means higher profits for the company and yourself. With your foreign language skills, you will be able to increase your business contacts, and at the same time, make friends along the way. Your new friends will admire your ability to speak in another language, and respect you for being a highly intelligent individual. Speaking of intelligence, many researchers believe that being bilingual increases your IQ. Knowing another language helps stimulate different areas of your brain. Let’s not forget that knowing a second language enables you to relocate to a new country and establish a new residence. You will be able to acclimate yourself easier, you also be able to read foreign newspapers, magazines, books and navigate the Internet with your newly acquired language. Learning a language is challenging, difficult, and very frustrating, but the rewards outweighed all of the hardships that you will encounter. Remember that it is never too late to start learning a new foreign-language. I like to think my students around the world for listening to Your Educational Podcast and I look forward to reading your comments. This is Dr. Anthony, signing off……
Hello everyone and welcome to Your Educational Podcast this is your host Dr. Anthony. Our website is located at www.yepod.com and if you’re a new listener, our site is for students and professionals who are seeking to improve their English as a second language. Today’s podcast is titled are you ready for the TOEFL test? Over the years the TOEFL test has been a standard for measuring a student’s English proficiency as a second language.
The term TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language. Thousands of universities in the United States and Canada require foreign students to submit a Toefl score as part of their application process. The reasons for this are quite clear, universities want to be sure that the foreign student is capable of handling the required courses to graduate. Each year over one million students around the world take the test over the Internet. The TOEFL test has four parts; reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The total time it takes to complete the examination is usually from 3.5 to 4 hours. Each part has a value of thirty points, so the maximum total would be 120 points. So what scores are universities looking for? The scores that most universities are looking for are in the range of 65 to 100. If you would like to get more information about the TOEFL test, go to http://toefl.org and register online.
So what can you do to prepare for the TOEFL test? Well, there are a lot of publishers that have instruction and practice textbooks. One example is “The Complete Guide to the TOEFL Test” written by Bruce Rogers. I myself use Bruce Roger’s Complete Guide to the TOEFL Test for my listening class. There are also many other textbooks that cover TOEFL test and you should be able to find one that suits your needs. I like to turn our attention to the listening part of the test. Many of my students tell me that listening to a dialogue between two people on CD is quite challenging. My students tell me that they feel the speakers are talking too fast to be understood. This hurdle can be overcome by listening over and over again to the same conversation until you have mastered it. You need to train your mind to get accustomed to the speed of conversation of native speakers of English. You will need to put in many hours of study on a weekly basis to be able to cover all sections of the TOEFL test.
So, how else can you prepare for the TOEFL test other than using a textbook? A fun way to practice your listening skills is to go down to your local video store and rent a movie. There are many advantages to this idea, for instance, you can stop and rewind the segments of the movie you don’t understand clearly. Why not start a movie club? You could invite all your friends that also are planning on taking the TOEFL test. This is a fun way to get your friends together and have discussions about the movie.
I like to thank everyone for listening to Your Educational Podcast. All parts of Your Educational Podcast is written and published by Dr. Anthony. I look forward to hearing your comments and ideas. This is Dr. Anthony, signing off……….
Hello everyone welcomed back to Your Educational Podcast. I am your host Dr. Anthony. Today’s podcast is titled, “Are you afraid of the telephone? ” Talking on the telephone can be extremely challenging for someone using a second language. You will want to be prepared so that the person you are calling understands what is being said. Consider the following tips to improve your English . First of all, you will want to write down the person’s name on paper. Practice pronouncing the person’s name correctly. During the actual conversation say the person’s name, people love to hear their names. Next, write down the questions you will be asking. For the beginners, do not stress yourself with too many questions. It would be best to start off with two or three good questions concerning your inquiry. Practice saying your questions over and over again. You can also practice with a friend or family member until you feel confident.
Remember this important fact, when talking over the telephone all you have to rely on is your voice. The people you are talking to can’t see you, so it is very important to make a good impression. Try not to sound too nervous over the telephone, if you are well-prepared, this will not be hard to do. Nervous people talk too quickly and have hard time conveying information over the telephone. With practice you eliminate any nervousness. Be sure to make your call in a quiet area, away from distractions. Having background noise will make it difficult for your listener to hear you.
Did you also know that your mood also affects how you sound over the telephone? Do not make calls when you are emotionally upset. Your listener will easily pick up on your mood. Try smiling while you are talking on the telephone. Professional speakers smile naturally, because they understand that they sound brighter and friendlier when they use this technique. Decide whether you want to stand up or sit down while you’re making your call. I prefer to stand up while I’m making my calls, because it allows me the freedom to move around and use my body language. Others prefer to sit down while they’re making their calls, and have the luxury of having paper and pencil nearby on their desk. Taking notes are important, so be prepared to write down important information relating to your questions.
As a native speaker, I can remember the time when I was terrified of talking over the telephone. But with practice, I was able to overcome my fear. Having the ability to speak over the telephone can be a great asset to your personal and professional life. When it comes to international business, the ability to get the point across is essential for success. Consider how valuable, you will become when your colleagues realize your ability to speak to international clients. In this ever challenging business arena, we cannot solely rely on e-mails as a form of communication. Being able to make that call overseas, delivers a personal touch, and strengthens business and personal relationships. I want to thank all my friends and students around the world for listening to Your Educational Podcast…
