ESL Conversation Class: Great, or Terrible?
Over my decade teaching English in South Korea, I’ve had some great English conversation classes and I’ve also had some pretty terrible ones. Here are some tips for teaching these kinds of classes from my other blog, My Life! Teaching in a Korean University that will hopefully make them as awesome as possible.
Multi-Level ESL Classes– These kinds of classes are most definitely not awesome, especially in a conversation class because the best students can easily dominate, leaving the weaker ones feeling frustrated and unhappy. Some tips to deal with this bad situation.
How to Make Students Talk– There are always shy students who are reluctant to speak in English, especially in Korea and over the years, I’ve honed my strategy for dealing with that. Get your students talking, guaranteed.
How to Ask Questions– Students often struggle with conversation and discussion because they’re bad at asking questions and the conversation simply dies, with barely an attempt. Here’s some advice on how to teach students this important skill.
How to Begin a Conversation Class– We’ve all been there- that awkward minute at the start of the class when you try to have small talk but everyone just kind of stares at you like you’re crazy. There is a better way!
