The students misinterpret this activity as meaning you can talk about whatever you like. I have worked on it and worked on it and told them they may talk only in the target language but many are [...]

I have an assignment next week teaching 1st graders for 3 days. How would your approach be modified to help 1st graders maintain classroom discipline? I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter. [...]

(especially if you teach 2nd or 3rd) If so, what consequence do you use?

There’s a lot of interesting information in there. One question though. At my school we don’t have a full time counsellor who we can send students out to. The role is performed by various classroom teachers who have their own lessons to teach. The only places to really [...]

If you just sit in the front, and you have students who are discipline problems, then you are going to end up putting out the fire afterwards or telling a student [...]

I walked by, monitoring, and said quietly “Brent, turn around to a 90 degree angle to your desk and sit up.” No big deal, right? Worth mentioning?  Yes.  When [...]

Asking a question to students like that sets you up [...]
