All Teachers are English Teachers

Sometimes when we are teaching in Asia, or for that matter anywhere else in the world, we tend to forget that we are not teaching math or science or art...we are teaching kids and the reason the parents want us here and pay the big money is not just our handsome white faces but our ability to teach their children English.

A few tips if you are teaching in Asia:
 use key visuals when you are teaching a concept
 always use English in class
 write a glossary of key words on the board before the lesson
talk at a n normal speed...do not speed up
and the 1000 and one other techniques you can find at places like Dave's ESL cafe at http://www.eslcafe.com/ideas/

Never give up on kids. If you are reading this blog, you can certainly read English and probably speak and write. How did you learn? Are you soooo smart? Don't you think you students can also learn by listening and practicing? Learning a foreign language is tough, especially the older you get, but NEVER give up on kids! 

They can and will learn English if you force them to speak English in your class.
