More Teaching Tips

6. Keep a private teaching Journal - This will help you prepare for your next day's teaching
session. Write down what you did and note down the comments of your students.
7.Organize your lessons by topics - One thing that I have noticed is that certain programs can be
chaotic especially, programs for adults. Let your students determine the topic.
8. Have a standardized lesson plan - The worst thing that can happen to a teacher is to be
unprepared. You may lose the respect of your students if you aren't prepared.
9.Have a back - up plan - You never know what's going to happen especially, when teaching
adult classes. You must have other exercises and materials lined up because you don't know
how fast a class will work per day.
10 . Explain the purpose of activities - Most students work better when they know why they are
being asked to do things in a certain way.
11. Use certain activities that stimulate the mind - Role playing is use ful in stimulating the
minds of the learners. Divide your students into groups and assign to them a particular
story. Let them study it and design a play. The students now will act and play their role in
the story.
12. Reduce your talk to a minimum level - It is more important for the students to talk more
than the teacher, because it means they are very enthusiatic to know more about the
language.
