As teachers, we are advised to warm up our voice, there are useuful vocal exercises to go on daily. The voice is our most important tool, so, why not taking cate of it?
I loved this! I am from Canada and a little Inuit girl taught me another valuable lesson...facial expressions! After all, what percent is non-verbal in communication? At least 70%! After 15 years( + ) working with individuals with special needs, I can tell you, you can say a great deal with just facial expressions and body language!
echoing (aka mirroring) is a good technique actually. you just show that you are listening to them and understand what they say simply repeating some words from their phrases. It encourages students to tell more.
I agree that it can have a purpose but it can also be overused especially by a teacher who is undertrained, inexperienced, or unsure of themselves as a teacher. With a student who is above the beginner level, it is better to reply normally as you would to a native speaker.
in modern methodology it is a bad thing, if you want to show your students that you are listening to them carefully just show it by asking more to just get along the conversation and above all show it by your gestures that you are listening to them, echoing is time wasting thing
I have been an English teacher for almost 8 years now. I am learning a lot from your videos. It is very informative and helpful. I always finish the video and never skip the ads. While I am watching you with so much focus, I think I am falling inlove. Hehehe! Just kidding! Thank you so much and bless you!
I’m autistic. I’m just trying to learn how to speak publicly and not sound like an idiot 🤷♀️😂 Edit: I’m watching a lot of different videos. I’m not a teacher to. 2:44 This part!!!
Sometimes I have a very hoarse voice. Not always, but could it disqualify me from teaching? Ironically, I was a vocal coach and choir director for many years.
Hi Thanks for making such amazing and useful videos ! You had a video about eliciting , but I can't find it now in your channel ! I really really really need it ! Where can I find it ? 🥺
I am removing some of my old videos due to sound problems. I’m trying to redo a lot of the older content. I’m shootings a new eliciting video tomorrow and will have it edited shortly after that
