13 ESL classroom tips you must know before you teach
Connect with your students.
Create a safe learning environment.
Establish routines.
Speak slowly and enunciate words.
Use non-verbal communication.
Make things visual.
Check for understanding.
Be adaptable.
MODELING
Do model for students what they are expected to do or produce, especially for new skills or activities, by explaining and demonstrating the learning actions, sharing your thinking processes aloud, and showing good teacher and student work samples. Modeling promotes learning and motivation, as well as increasing student self-confidence—they will have a stronger belief that they can accomplish the learning task if they follow steps that were demonstrated.
Don’t just tell students what to do and expect them to do it.
RATE OF SPEECH AND WAIT TIME
Do speak slowly and clearly, and provide students with enough time to formulate their responses, whether in speaking or in writing. Remember, they are thinking and producing in two or more languages. After asking a question, wait for a few seconds before calling on someone to respond. This “wait time” provides all students with an opportunity to think and process, and gives especially ELLs a needed period to formulate a response.
Don’t speak too fast, and if a student tells you they didn’t understand what you said, never, ever repeat the same thing in a louder voice.
