A new school year is coming. What shall we start with? Here are some tips for EFL teachers who are going to teach English in the 5th grade of NUS. I borrowed most of these tips from the online course "Teaching English in Basic School" delivered by the Ministry of Education of Ukraine and British Council. If you are willing to share your tips, it will be very supportive and helpful.
Tips:
have a blueprint to each topic
have a Learners Group Profile
have Learner profiles
contact all your learners' parents to plan online learning
have a journal to reflect on your teaching/lessons/approaches/activities/
have a journal to reflect on each learner's learning
create online classroom
research online tools to use in your classroom
prepare assessment for/of learning instruments
prepare posters: Our rules , Our criteria of assessment (self assessment, peer assessment, group assessment)
download a course book, a work book, audio and video resources
create Viber/Telegram groups for your learners and their parents
What else is worth doing/preparing before the first of September?
Please, keep sharing your great ideas!
