Beginner English students require different lesson planning and a different lesson structure than higher levels. Since they don't have a good command of English, you need to guide them a lot more if you want them to be able to communicate. Most ESL teachers struggle with this level and their lesson plans are just a mixture of different worksheets and study-like activities. The result is that ESL students never actually learn how to communicate with each other.
In this video, we cover a great lesson planning structure that I created called The 5 Points. Essentially, it's a useful way for English teachers to structure/plan lessons for beginner ESL students from A-Z. More so, it gets beginner students, even at low levels, to truly communicate with each other.
Here's a basic breakdown.
Pre-work: Think of 3-5 questions that you want your students to be able to communicate with. Pull out all of the necessary language they will need.
Point 1: Teach and practice vocab
Point 2: Practice the statement of your first question.
Point 3: Practice the question and the question and answer of your first
question.
*Practice all of your statements and then question/answers in chunks this way.
Point 4: Practice everything together with help and assistance.
Point 5: Free usage of all of your questions with natural language, past language, and zero notes.
Thanks for watching!

Your video is bloody brilliant. I'm a new volunteer ESL teacher with absolutely no experience or education on how. to. teach. I need exactly the lessons you're offering: 1) Walk into the classroom. 2) Say hello. 3) Walk over to the board. 4) Write your name.... I've been looking for this PRACTICAL guidance since I started teaching (accidentally, I have to add) five weeks ago!

Hey dear teacher! Hopefully you're doing well! I just came across your channel and what you're providing is actually amazing. I am a teach as well. I have taught beginners for months now and I see they have not progressed a lot as I think I focus more on drilling exercises and neglect the speaking side. Hopefully you can share with us more tips and tricks on how to get students speak as soon as possible

Hi Chris I really love these videos, and the methodology seems very logic. Your tips are great, I am one of those teachers that need to talk less. I have a question about the sequence of the lessons, or the type of content presented in each lessons. First vocabulary, then a grammar lesson, then what? And until when? Thanks for your help!!

Think that goes without saying that your videos are great! The thing is i get i little bit confused on how to proceed with the lesson? I would love to if you give a detailed plan on how to do that like how to manage the first very lesson with beginners🙏 i would be more than happy, otherwise, i believe vid are so thoughtful and inspiring hope u keep doing that for us. My greetings from Algeria.

@alperkaraa Год назад

Your videos are of great help. Thank you. I need a book focusing on speaking. Do you have a recommendation?

@TheLanguageHouseTEFL Год назад

Hey Alpert, what kind of book are thinking about, like an activities book?

@alperkaraa Год назад

@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL I don't want grammar or reading but activites that offer a chance to speak for sudents. They have basic knowledge, at A2 or even B1 level but they have problems with speaking. They want to be able to speak better and I'm looking for ways to do it and it will be a lot easier for me to have a book and follow the activies in it.

@juliemoulton9533 10 месяцев назад

Hello! Thank you so much for this! I have a question: You said that you erase the vocabulary and phrases from the board when it's time to do some writing (in Point 1). Do you ask students NOT to write the words in their notebooks when you present them and write them on the board? I find that my students write down everything as I present. Or, do you just ask them not to look at their notes when they do a gap-fill or other exercise?

@TheLanguageHouseTEFL 10 месяцев назад

It’s all about not looking at notes as much. If students are just copying from their notes, they are not pushing themselves to remember the vocab.

hi chris! your videos are awesome. I really liked them. i have a question, when i teach some new vocab and how we use them in real conversations , should i teach them how we form the questions because they are already vey beginner and dont know how we form them .. they might be confusing for them.. and at the same time its very complicated for them to understand this in the beginning ..How can I deal with that??

@godislove6541 Месяц назад

@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL I've almost watched all your videos in this series but still don't know should I explain the form for the questions I'm using or not ( the questions are not the targets lesson and students haven't study them before) Should I use only the questions we already studied when it comes to the activation part??

Hi I am teaching a child and he is a beginner level in English. I made him repeat after me vocabs but sentences he finds super hard to follow and remember I am doing that because his parents asked me to make him memorize phrases and sentences .He is totally new into English I think I should teach him how to create simple sentence .Any tips how he can memorize daily conversations like dining out to restaurant with his parents? He can't even read in English .By the way,the parents told me I shouldn't teach him alphabets and reading their main focus is speaking skills.
