We have started teaching!!

We have started teaching primary school and it would be great if we could share our feelings after finishing each class. In that way we could all benefit from each other's comments, suggestions, ideas, insecurities and hopes. Speak up!!

Managing teaching and learning

In the last chapter we read about seating arrangement and the different student groupings teachers can use. Let's get practical! Why don't we suggest ideas about classroom activities we can use to ask our students to get in pairs or groups? Using English all the time, with students of all ages, how can we make them get in groups with the number of students we need?
