Write with your back to the class in silence because students can take this as a chance to chatter.

Write as quickly and clearly as you can. Limit the length of texts or instructions.

Spend a long time at the board because it can cost boredom and disruption.

While writing, keep their attention by reading key words and phrases aloud.

Hide what you are writing with your body.

•Flashcards

•Magazines picture

•Realia

•Wall-charts

•Multimedia - Projector

Using a sequence of pictures

1. You can use them as an introduction / warm-up to reactivate student’s language.

2. You can use them as cues for substitution in dialogues.

e.g. a lexical set of pictures of drinks on the board.

Teacher offers the drinks:

Would you like a cup of tea? sugar? some milk?

Students respond and continue practising: “Yes, please.”

3. To teach vocabulary. e.g. pictures of a knife, fork, spoon, plate, cup.

•They are used for structure practice. •You can think of a sentence containing the structure. •The same number of students as there are words in the sentence come to the front of the class. •Each student takes one word card, and they must form themselves into a line, so that the sentence reads correctly.`•This can be a highly competitive game.

What are you going to do after class?

•You will receive a set of word cards.

•Get into groups

•Build up as many sentences as you can.

• Present your sentences to the class.

•Where are they?•What are they doing?•What time of the day is it?•Who are they?
