Tips for teaching English at primary
level• Words are not enough (realia, flashcards, gestures, senses)• TPR (Total Physical Response) – children listen and follow a whole sequence of
instructions, doing what the teacher says, (e.g.: TPR with clothes vocabulary, An action routine, A pointing rhyme, Miming a morning routine, Physical break chant, Right or wrong, ‘Simon says’)
• Variety in the classroom (activity, materials, pace, organisation, voice)• Keep their hands busy!• Enjoyment• Motivation• Content• Cooperation• Assessment (traditional tests , observation , conferencing , projects , peer-
assessment, self-assessment, portfolio)• CALL (teaching & testing programs)
