ESL Beginner Demo Lesson w/ Tips (A1) - Seasons 

What a great ESL teacher: he keeps the pace lively and brisk, which keeps everyone awake and engaged. He stays on task, and he uses enthusiasm and praises the students. Thank you for this demonstration.

I love this one! You should upload more videos with absolute beginners.

You're such a Great role model for every potential teacher! Thanks a bunch Chris

I did love this lesson. it's amazingly recursive and practical!

Awesome! Learned a lot from this demo lesson! Thank you so much

I would never give the answers that they gave. The pics show a snowman, the sun, a bird. To drink looks like a tulip. Anyway, it doesn’t show an action. In our digital era, it is so easy to find very good and clear pictures on the internet. Alcohol-related words are not the best to include in the lesson unless the students are learning English for hospitality. He had Marina repeat the word “winter” without her understanding what she needed to improve and how. And she didn’t get it right. However, he showed the place of articulation of “the” very well. He worked on “I like to ….” and “I don’t like to ….” quite effectively. The substitution drills helped the learners practice and memorize the target language. It is OK to practice speaking with notes. This is natural, real-life and reduces anxiety. Did everyone in the classroom understand the meaning of “favorite”? How was that checked before drilling? Meaning should come before drilling. The gapped dialogue on the whiteboard was very helpful. Was it clarified why it is better to say “to ride bikes”? Learners need to know why.

🎉 I enjoyed your way of teaching . It's not boring at all.All the students are engaged.They practisd the language.❤❤

This is amazing. We really take the ability to speak english for granted.

Best video ever! helped me rejuggle my skills of when i use to teach.

Cool! So much enthusiasm!

Hey Chris thank you so much for having this channel and information. All of your videos have been extremely helpful...but thats no wine glass @ 2:40

I am just starting out as an ESL teacher and this was so helpful! Thank you so much!

I love your classes please upload more demo classes :)

Hey Chris you're such an inspiration

You are doing really well!

wow this was amazing and so so helpful, thank you

Simple, great lesson

Very good Demo. Thank you! Very much helpful. Like it very much. :-) It is strange but one can rarely find good demo lessons in the internet & I don't know a reason why these types of lessons are absent in the net. I know the languege & would like to be a good teacher. :-)

Great demo🎉 Learnt a lot

This can be perfectly applied for small groups, not easy for large group of people though. Elicitation always works best.

Wow. I wish I was anywhere near as good at you at teaching. Thanks.

Great video!

How about a lesson on how to plan a lesson plan in stages. A1 to Expert level? Not a lot of them on the net. And could be of great help to students studying TEFL TESL (EFL ESL). To be used as guidelines when they have to do lesson plans.

a really hard work . really appreciated.. 🥺🥺🥺

technically good, effective, nice learning method and friendly style. Spot on, sometimes effective learning sessions are boring to watch, but what's more important of course is that learners are learning. good job Chris Westergaard. Are you a native English speaker?

excelent video, thanks

Hello from Kurdistan ❤️. Thank you so much, I really got benefit from this video. Keep going 😊❤️

Thank you so much! I haven't taught beginners for about a year or year and a half, and I needed to go back to the basics becuase I''ll be teaching beginners the next month. Thank you for your tips, i loved that you show how to keep TTT low. Really cool vid !!!

Well done

Great video! My only question is: how did the students know the words for 'seasons' and making questions like 'do you like...'? Did they learn this before the lesson either through homework or a previous lesson? thanks!

Thanx for this amazing tips it really helps a lot

Yo Chris you the best dude 🤜🤛

Your enthusiasm!

Hi awesome class, is there anychance we can get your worksheets and/material?

You spend a lot of effort , may god be with you

Question, would this method be considered tpr or audio lingual ?

I like your teaching, as for me, repetition seems boring but really effective. However, I'm having problems with classrom atmosphere and student motivation.

Does this seem to work better with beginners whose alphabet is similar to the English alphabet? As opposed to the Arabic alphabet, for instance.

Awesome

how can you elicit with complete beginners? Or even elementary? We were always told to elicit but with low levels they just won`t know. Won`t they feel that they are incompetent while we want them to feel successful?

I also like to have students do the cherades and Pictionary than elicit the answer a great way for engaging and involvement

great

Hi Chris, is this considered A-level for teens & adults? I realize A, B, C levels are used in UK education school systems, much like in Asian countries. I'm just trying to see the American equivalent. Some jobs are asking me if I have A-level experience. All these acronyms are like alphabet soup.

What should I do if students don't even know any vocabulary. How can they give me words to guess the action I do in front of the class?

I like it too

I would love to know what was written on those papersheets which you gave to your students in the first practice!

How long are your classes? (time-wise)

Yes you seem like a good teacher I know nothing about teaching. However it seems to me that when you're teaching the word ski aren't you confusing them by saying to ski? And keep putting the word to in front of the object? Like the winter instead of just winter?

what country are they from?

❤😊

What kind of method are you applying?

👍

quick question: is it a good idea for students to compare their work before checking the exercise with the whole class?

I wonder why he writes a word on the board before he drills it?

Naočkoval bych denně hodinu Duolingo a dvoujjazyčnou knihu. Kdo nemá vůli, potřebuje hl. motivátora, a až poté native speakera. Do urovně B je imitace native učitelů, kdy AJ má několik native stylů ... (I actually sail in winter, too ) overkillem.

\o/ The fall ! \o/

Good! = I give up! Say it however you wanna say it.

I like to ride a bike?

Why didn't he teach the seasons the correct order. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

You can never drill too much= okay, let's spend 60 minutes drilling a pronunciation of a certain word.

I’m already annoyed and it’s been 1 minute

This class is very confusing ..

is he trying to teach the words they already know?? Is this a joke?

You insist the person should come up with a good pronunciation but the person comes up with the shittiest pronunciation ever and yet you say "good!!! perfect!!!!" What the hell?!?!?
