Teaching Tip # 1

 Concept checking

Ask the students a question closely related to the target concept. For example: If you are working on a third conditional sentence like this: ‘I would have done my homework if I had had enough time’, your concept checking questions could be these: Did you do your homework? Did you have enough time? If you’re checking the understanding of instructions which say ‘Guess your partner’s answers to the true or false questions below’ you could ask ‘Do you need to speak to your partner at this stage?’

Teaching Tip # 2

Learn your students’ names

 You will be able to control your class better and gain more respect if you learn the students’ names early on. If you are  one who has a poor memory for names, have all the students keep name cards on their desk and write down a description of them (in secret). on the second class, impress them by showing them you know all their names.

Teaching Tip # 3

Use the palm of your hands to nominate students rather than pointing a finger.

Teaching Tip # 4

Be overly prepared

Have a clear lesson plan and use it. You should know about how long each activity will take and have an additional activity prepared in case you have extra time.
