Why I Don't Include Reading and Writing In My ESL Class Before Age 8
In my method, English is Fun!, we don't introduce children to written English before the age of approximately 8. (Sometimes even 9). This may sound strange to many ESL teachers but insisting on early reading and writing of a second language could make learning to read and write the child's native language that much harder. In this video I explain the reasons why.

First Day Of School Tips That I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I First Started Teaching
I remember my very first lesson with a group of 6 yr olds. I had been teaching ESL for a while but had never taught it to children. My boss had said, "You're young, cute, sweet… you take that class." but in no way prepared me for the experience. Teaching a bunch of little kids a language they've never heard before can be pretty scary. In this video I'll tell you what you really need to know before you even set foot in that class.
