maybe we need some references when we will teach our students. Okay, here we go. Firstly, we will talk about how to teach students in Elementary school, especially teach English. To teach students in Elementary school is not easy as we think. We also need a great classroom techniques for them. as you know, the children is easy to get bored. So, we have to keep them to focus on us (teacher).
I have some tips that makes your student focus on your classroom:
1. Preparation
Preparation
is the most important factor to making Elementary lessons go well. Having
pre-prepared teaching materials is a must, as is having some kind of meeting
with the teacher before the class starts. The more time you spend discussing
the lesson plan the better the lesson will be.
2. Warm-up
Always
start Elementary lessons for any grade with some kind of warm-up. If you jump
straight into the lesson material then the students can be a bit cold. The idea
of a warm-up is that you can set the atmosphere for the rest of the lesson
(i.e. fun!) and get the blood moving.
For
lower grades (1st-4th) this means something to get them moving like a song and
dance or the TPR warm-up. Higher grades (4th-6th) can sometimes be a bit shy
about dancing around and making a fool of themselves so something where they
have to use their brain is sometimes better, like the Finger counting warm-up.
3. Discipline
Discipline
should really be the responsibility of the teacher, and it's useful to keep it
that way. If you start getting scary with the kids when they step out of line,
you can ruin the class atmosphere. You can associate yourself with just the fun
side of the lesson.
4. Verbal
Commands
Say,
no!
Don’t
go away!
When
you're getting the class to repeat after you and you want to coordinate them so
that the repeat all at once.
5. Countdown
A
nice and easy way to end an activity and get the kids to sit back down in their
seats is simply to shout out at the top of your voice: "10... 9... 8...
7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!" The kids will usually understand what
you want of them without any explanation because classroom teachers tend to use
this technique in English too.
