Modeling and Demonstrating in ELT
|
 |
|
It's no use explaining how to do
an activity, as they don't understand enough English, nor have they studied
the grammar for instructions. However, if you remember back to your days in
Sciences classes, you only remembered how to do an experiment if you saw it.
The how:
 |
Give the handouts and
materials whilst they are still busy finishing another activity. |
|
Do a segue (transition) |
|
Draw their attention to the
new materials |
|
Demonstrate with a good or
strong student how to do it. Point to things as you go |
|
Say the same words they should
say, walk to the same places (if required), use the appropriate intonation
for the language |
|
Let them go at it. Monitor,
and if they're getting it wrong or still unsure, do one more complete
demonstration |
Useful gear:
|
This may sound obvious, but I
cannot stress it enough: A well made handout |
|
An overhead projector or
overhead camera |
|
Instructions in the book (some
schools expect teachers to get students to read them aloud: it works) |
|
Sample dialogues and clearly
assigning who is A and who is B. See
here for
samples. |
