    What to do when a Grammar Lesson Goes Wrong - S07E17

    What should you do when a grammar lesson starts falling apart? Stick rigidly to your plan, stop and reset, or follow the language your students are actually producing? In S07E17 of the How to English TEFL Podcast, Gav and Em discuss the reality of teaching when lessons refuse to behave themselves. Em shares a present continuous lesson involving unclear instructions, technical problems, students in different locations and an activity that gradually drifts away from the original plan. This raises a bigger TEFL question: when should teachers stick to their lesson plan, and when is it better to go with the flow? They explore emergent language after a student unexpectedly moves the lesson towards the past continuous, how teachers can “park” a useful question without ignoring it, and whether one student’s curiosity should change the direction of the whole class. Gav and Em also compare their teaching energy across the week. Is Monday teaching different from Friday teaching? Do teachers correct more when they are fresh? Can being tired sometimes produce a more relaxed, natural classroom? Finally, they remember teachers who influenced them years ago. What made those teachers special, and what can reflecting on your own favourite teacher reveal about the teacher you want to become? Plus, Gav explains how howtoenglishpod.com is developing into a practical resource bank of TEFL articles, episode guides, teaching ideas and podcast discussions. 📚 RELATED S07E17 TEACHING ARTICLES How Should TEFL Teachers Recover When a Grammar Lesson Goes Wrong?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/how-should-tefl-teachers-recover-when-a-grammar-lesson-goes-wrong-s07e17/ Should You Stick to the Plan or Go with the Flow in a TEFL Lesson?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/should-you-stick-to-the-plan-or-go-with-the-flow-in-a-tefl-lesson-s07e17/ Does Your Teaching Style Change From Monday to Friday?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/does-your-teaching-style-change-from-monday-to-friday-s07e17/ What Makes a Teacher Memorable?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/what-makes-a-teacher-memorable-s07e17/ How Can Thinking About Your Favourite Teacher Improve Your Own Teaching?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/how-can-thinking-about-your-favourite-teacher-improve-your-own-teaching-s07e17/ Where Can TEFL Teachers Find Practical Teaching Resources and Podcast Articles Online?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/where-can-tefl-teachers-find-practical-teaching-resources-and-podcast-articles-online-s07e17/ 🌐 More practical TEFL ideas, episode guides and teaching resources:https://howtoenglishpod.com ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – What happens when a grammar lesson falls apart?01:29 – Teaching the present continuous03:06 – When students understand the grammar but not the task05:06 – Stick to the plan or go with the flow?07:01 – Present continuous naturally becomes past continuous09:34 – How to “park” a useful student question11:59 – Thinking fast and adapting TEFL lessons12:16 – Does teaching style change from Monday to Friday?16:43 – Friday teaching, natural speech and correction19:47 – What makes a teacher memorable?21:36 – How favourite teachers influence our teaching23:07 – Qualities of a good teacher25:04 – Turning a TEFL podcast into a teacher resource bank ❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED What should teachers do when a grammar lesson goes wrong?

    How do you teach English to one-to-one students? And giving private English lessons? - S01E19

    Why can teaching just one English learner feel more demanding than teaching a whole class? Join us, Gav & Em, as we explore the rewards, challenges and everyday realities of one-to-one English lessons. Private lessons give us space to personalise learning, build confidence and focus on what a student really needs. They also require plenty of energy, quick thinking and a working relationship that suits both people! We discuss:🔹 Why one-to-one lessons can feel so intense🔹 Whether silent exercises belong in paid lesson time or at home🔹 How to agree realistic homework and course expectations🔹 Who should lead: the teacher or the learner?🔹 How to build rapport while keeping professional boundaries🔹 Why thinking time matters in conversation lessons🔹 How to correct and upgrade language without stopping every sentence🔹 Why learners should ask their teacher questions too🔹 How to adapt coursebooks and pair work for individual lessons We agree on the importance of understanding the learner, but we don’t always agree on how to use lesson time! Em usually saves independent exercises for homework, while Gav sees a place for short writing tasks with immediate feedback. Em also shares her one-to-one teaching poem, capturing the hidden effort behind keeping a conversation lesson going. Teachers who have ever finished a friendly chat feeling completely exhausted may recognise themselves! 🌐 EXPLORE THE ARTICLES How Can Teachers Manage the Intensity of One-to-One English Lessons?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/how-can-teachers-manage-the-intensity-of-one-to-one-english-lessons-s01e19/ Should One-to-One Students Do Silent Work During Lessons?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/should-one-to-one-students-do-silent-work-during-lessons-s01e19/ What Should a One-to-One English Needs Analysis Cover?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/what-should-a-one-to-one-english-needs-analysis-cover-s01e19/ How Should You Plan a One-to-One English Course?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/how-should-you-plan-a-one-to-one-english-course-s01e19/ Who Should Lead a One-to-One English Lesson?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/who-should-lead-a-one-to-one-english-lesson-s01e19/ How Do You Build Rapport Without Losing Authority in One-to-One Lessons?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/how-do-you-build-rapport-without-losing-authority-in-one-to-one-lessons-s01e19/ How Can Teachers Adapt Group Coursebooks for One-to-One Lessons?https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/how-can-teachers-adapt-group-coursebooks-for-one-to-one-lessons-s01e19/ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction01:28 Why one-to-one lessons feel intense02:43 Independent exercises: classwork or homework?04:18 Our debate about exam writing in lesson time05:53 Agreeing expectations and homework06:54 Rapport, authority and who leads10:25 Different opinions and professional boundaries11:56 Using homework to develop conversation12:50 Pacing, thinking time and silence13:39 Personalising lessons and useful takeaways14:38 Em’s one-to-one teaching poem16:31 The hidden work behind conversation lessons17:39 Reformulating and correcting speaking mistakes18:47 Encouraging learners to ask questions21:03 Teaching two learners together22:37 Books and adapting group materials24:08 Final thoughts and goodbye ☕ Support How to English:https://ko-fi.com/howtoenglishpod 🌐 Teaching tips, guides and free lesson materials:https://www.howtoenglishpod.com/ How to English TEFL Podcast with Gav & Em explores teaching and learning English as a foreign language through practical ideas, honest classroom experiences and a little teacher humour. #TeachingEnglish #OneToOneTeaching #TEFL #ESL #EnglishTeacher #PrivateEnglishLessons #LearnEnglish

    How Should English Teachers Check Answers, Pronounce Names & Stay Motivated? | TEFL Tips – S07E16

    Why are your students learning English? How should teachers check answers without wasting lesson time? And what should you do when you have no idea how to pronounce a new student’s name? In S07E16 of the How to English TEFL Podcast, Gav and Em explore everyday questions English teachers face. They begin with one deceptively simple word: why? Why do we teach? Why are our students in the lesson? And why is it worth revisiting their goals as a course develops? Drawing on their TEFL experience, Gav and Em discuss what keeps them teaching: language, flexibility, career opportunities and helping learners communicate. Then comes email and admin: homework, timetable changes, cancellations, new classes and those messages sent five minutes before the lesson. They also tackle student names. Should teachers research pronunciation before the first lesson? What happens when the same name is pronounced differently in different countries? Finally, Gav and Em disagree rather spectacularly about checking students’ answers. Should learners compare answers in pairs before whole-class feedback? If everyone already has the correct answers, is checking them again useful confidence-building — or a waste of lesson time? Along the way, they share practical techniques including peer checking, student nomination, varying who answers, testing what learners remember and personalising answers. Whether you teach TEFL, ESL, EFL, Business English or general English, this episode offers practical classroom ideas — and proof that experienced teachers don’t always agree on the “right” way to do things.

    Is Your Lesson Becoming the Teacher Show? | How to English TEFL Podcast - S07E15

    How much should a teacher actually talk in an English lesson — and when should they simply get out of the way? In S07E15, Gav and Em discuss what teachers really do in the classroom (and what they don’t!). We explore whether a lesson should ever become “The Teacher Show”, how teachers can guide conversations without dominating them, when to jump into a discussion, and why timing matters when correcting errors. We also talk about supporting lower-level learners, encouraging students to help each other, and remembering that while teachers may think about English all day, an English lesson might be just one small part of a student’s busy week. Plus: a simple tip for learners — keep notes of interesting English you hear, read or see during the week and bring those questions to your teacher. ⏱️ KEY MOMENTS 00:00 – What do teachers really do in the classroom?02:26 – Why your lesson shouldn’t be “The Teacher Show”03:57 – Do students actually need a teacher?06:26 – Should teachers give their opinions?07:15 – Stepping back and delayed error correction09:54 – The teacher as an orchestra conductor11:43 – When should you correct errors?13:05 – Getting a speaking activity started13:58 – Supporting lower-level learners16:04 – What does “lower-level” actually mean?20:52 – Students teaching students24:01 – The lesson from the student’s perspective ☕ Support the show: ko-fi.com/howtoenglishpod🌐 Visit us: howtoenglishpod.com How to English: Teach & Learn with Gav & Em — a podcast about teaching and learning English as a foreign language.

    Should TEFL Teachers Use the Teacher’s Book? Do Students Really Learn Grammar? | Gav & Em Answer Your TEFL Questions – S07E14

    In this episode, Gav and Em tackle the real questions TEFL teachers ask every day: What exactly is a student’s book supposed to do? Is the teacher’s book worth using — or is it overwhelming? How do you fix confusing coursebook tasks? Do students actually learn grammar from lessons, or somewhere else entirely? Why do learners forget grammar rules even after you’ve taught them? Where does real learning happen — in the book, in conversation, or online? With practical examples, honest stories, and classroom‑tested hacks, this episode helps teachers rethink how they plan, how they use materials, and how they support learners in a more natural, intuitive way.

    Speak with Confidence: The Mindset Every TEFL Teacher Needs | Helen von Dadelszen - S07E13

    Build Real Speaking Confidence with Helen von Dadelszen | TEFL Tips, Communication Skills & Classroom Courage How can teachers and English learners become more confident speakers without waiting until they suddenly feel ready? In this episode of How to English: Teach & Learn with Gav & Em, we welcome Helen von Dadelszen, communication coach, vocal trainer, former TEFL teacher and author of Courageous Action. Helen challenges the idea of “I’ll speak when I feel confident” and explains why confidence is built through action. We discuss practical ways to manage nerves, slow your breathing, speak more calmly, shift the focus away from yourself and create a classroom where students feel safer speaking English. Gav and Em also explore helping shy learners, using pair work to reduce pressure, avoiding over-correction and encouraging small courageous actions that gradually build confidence.

    Will AI Replace English Teachers? The Future of TEFL - S07E12

    Will AI replace English teachers? What can human TEFL teachers offer in a world of AI tutors, language-learning apps and instant translation? In S07E12 of How to English TEFL Podcast, Gav and Em discuss how artificial intelligence is changing English teaching and learning. Gav believes AI could eventually replace many human teaching roles. Em hopes future generations will value genuine human contact even more. Will learners prefer affordable, endlessly patient AI teachers, or continue choosing people who understand their personalities, confidence and individual needs? We also share practical teaching ideas. Em demonstrates how she sets up an information-gap activity by introducing the topic, organising the groups, explaining the task before distributing materials and checking that everyone understands. We explore how transcripts can help learners notice vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. However, transcripts should support listening practice rather than replace it. Finally, we discuss when experienced teachers should advise their colleagues. When should you intervene, and when should you let someone learn through experience? Sometimes “That happened to me too” is more helpful than explaining everything they did wrong.

    English Teaching Tips: Correcting Student Mistakes, Lesson Efficiency & Common Errors -TEFL - S07E11

    How can English teachers make lessons more efficient? When should you correct a student’s mistakes? And what do you say when a learner responds, “But you understand me, though?” In S07E11 of the How to English TEFL Podcast, Gav and Em explore practical questions about lesson efficiency, error correction and those tricky mistakes that learners continue making even after repeated correction. We discuss how teachers can maximise valuable classroom time, increase student participation and decide how much lesson planning is genuinely useful. Could planning less sometimes make a lesson more responsive and efficient? We also look at subtle errors that can completely change what a learner means. There is a rather important difference between “I’m not interested” and “I’m not interesting,” even though the grammar differs by only two letters. Then there are expressions caused by direct translation and first-language interference. What should teachers do when learners say “My neck is stuck,” “I do Home Office,” or call a mobile phone a “handy”? We may understand them perfectly in the classroom, but will everyone outside it? Gav and Em consider when correction is necessary, how teachers can make corrections memorable and why pretending not to understand can sometimes show learners the real-world consequences of unclear language. Finally, we compare how we record our teaching hours: Em’s dependable paper system versus Gav’s new digital Google Sheets approach. In this episode: • Improving efficiency in English lessons• Increasing student talking time and participation• Deciding how much lesson planning is necessary• Knowing when to correct learner errors• Responding to “But you understand me, though”• Teaching interested versus interesting• Correcting errors caused by direct translation• Dealing with repeated and fossilised mistakes• Making error correction memorable• Tracking teaching hours on paper or digitally 📚 Read the S07E11 articles: Correcting Subtle Errors: How to Handle “Interested vs Interesting” and Other Tricky Mistakeshttps://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/correcting-subtle-errors-how-to-handle-interested-vs-interesting-and-other-tricky-mistakes/ Error Correction Techniques: Performances, Pretending, and Real-World Consequenceshttps://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/error-correction-techniques-performances-pretending-and-real-world-consequences/ L1 Interference: Teaching Students to Stop Saying “My Neck Is Stuck”https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/l1-interference-teaching-students-to-stop-saying-my-neck-is-stuck/ TEFL Lesson Efficiency: How to Maximise Learning Without Rushinghttps://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/tefl-lesson-efficiency-how-to-maximise-learning-without-rushing/ TEFL Time Management: Tracking Teaching Hours (Analog vs Digital)https://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/tefl-time-management-tracking-teaching-hours-analog-vs-digital/ “But You Understand Me Though”: Handling Fossilised Errors in TEFLhttps://howtoenglishpod.wordpress.com/but-you-understand-me-though-handling-fossilised-errors-in-tefl/ How do you handle repeated mistakes in your English lessons?
