    "Take a Five"

    In TEFL teaching you may find non-native English speakers-- young Learners -- to be very shy. "Ice breaking" is fundamental, very important and useful. So, do I find, is simple teaching about mindfulness. I talk about my experiences this morning.

    Simple recordings

    The use of voice recordings placed on YouTube as a TEFL teaching method. I usually have coordination of content with my foreign teaching colleagues. Examples are,available here: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeDishnow麥克爺爺

    Metacognition

    Using deep reflection to study your thinking processes -- "thinking about thinking". Learning how to learn, how to expand and link your learning to practical everyday living.

    Transfer Learning or Bridging

    Teaching your students the practical "real world" benefits of learning a lesson. How it will help them in their day to day life. If not immediately, in the future.

    Language Gratitude Journal

    I discuss gratitude journaling and a variation of this idea you can use for language study. Combining good daily feelings/thoughts with learning a new word or phrase in English. Also, I talk about creating a mini-habit and the way to use it in language learning.

    Instant Replay (Using recordings)

    Recording a Skype session or other teaching situation is a valuable learning tool. This is true for both the student and the teacher. I discuss my experiences with this and my current reading and study of doing so.

    Talk to Yourself

    A valuable strategy in language learning is talking to yourself (or a language partner). We call it "thinking aloud". I share my own experiences with this and tips/ideas from a book I am currently reading on megacognivity.

    Halloween 2020

    I just uploaded a simple Halloween lesson on PPT/video to my YouTube channel. It is the first os several I hope to do. I plan on reading some Halloween stories over the upcoming weekend and uploaded them too. I hope that teachers and students enjoy and find these useful. In the classroom or just for fun.
