Description
Online ESL teaching to Chinese students (in China and elsewhere) has become a trend. It can be fun at the beginning, but after going through some really challenging online classes such as students not participating or students not speaking up, online ESL classes can be really dragging… or even less promising.However, when we come up with ideas that will make students speak up, our online classes can be really fun and even exciting. Besides, our goal is to help the students improve their English communication skills.In this 3-part video course, I'm going to share my experience and techniques I use to make my online students speak up and get to understand better their learning needs.The three-part video course will help you with the following:Part 1 - Overview of an Engaging and Fun Online ESL ClassWhat you’ll learn:How can we define an engaging and fun online ESL classWhat makes an online ESL class engaging and funWhy do we have to make it engaging and fun (pedagogical approach)How we can make it fun and engagingOverview of PPP (Presentation-Practice-Production)Online teaching roadblocks and whiteboard solutionsSample online class structurePart 2 - Giving Effective Roleplaying and Discussion Activity (Separate course)What you’ll learn:What makes our Chinese ESL learners not speakCommon mistakes Chinese students make when speaking in English6 suggested online speaking activitiesGiving instructions for roleplaying activity with demoGiving instruction for conducting a discussion activity with demoPart 3 - Giving student presentation in an online ESL class (Separate course)Why give student presentationGetting started with giving student presentationWhat we (online ESL teachers) can do during and after the student presentsStudent presentation guideline with demoHopefully, once you’ve gone through these courses you can:Come up with better ideas and approaches on how to make your online ESL classes fun and excitingDeliver a great learning experienceBetter come up with ways on how to provide an English speaking environment or opportunities for your ESL learnersEven learn how to design and plan your online ESL classesEnjoy the video and thank you so much for joining me here!Credits:bensound (dot) com (BG music)Also, big big thanks to my Chinese friend, Shiloh for helping me with the demo classes
