much my question is what's the key to keep your class dynamic if you want to move that's a good question if you want to keep your class dynamic you gotta be dynamic as well you gotta be very active there honey you gotta use body language you're gonna prepare and you know they're in a classroom you must have your was old you will always have a time where the keys will feel boring you can't avoid that because you know sometimes teaching really needs attention so yeah just trying to make it as much as possible attractive and remember as well to have a good rewarding method when you arrive at the beginning of their class you get a defy your class your class into teams especially if you have very young children from the age of kindergartens great quality yeah group kindergartens great yeah big class small small class yeah they wouldn't understand that well I will recommend using using your rewarding method a lot especially in your prime Bible and especially when you have a great number of kids when you have lots of kids in your class really use that method rewarding methods so divide your class into teams to keep them interesting in the class to give them and keep on asking question to them as well which will keep them paying attention on you of course you're gonna use your body language and all stuff so it's very important that you know you always have a lesson plan and when you're gonna enter the that classroom you will know what's gonna happen pretty much so and even if what's happening is not what you were thinking would happen so you just have to prepare another plan B if this game doesn't work you're gonna use another game pretty much so yeah thanks for your question one thanks so here we go here in live question someone has before how I'm up with the words to teach for ESL use a dictionary thank doubt engine is yeah the dish for is yeah someone just come at the beginning of a of the life the verb first like when things were not going well I thought she was I remember her name in Matt Jones and I thought she was a stammer because she was like well what do I need to teach a dictionary yeah that's why yeah oh what I've been explaining before it means that you're gonna have skills there's not because you can speak English or night native speakers I don't need to put native speakers against negative that's not my point but some people do think that yeah there's it's easy to teach English but mostly non-native have are can be better teachers and better teachers because they have been learning a language already some natives but very few that confrontation I hate talking about native and non-native because we are all teachers and we always need native because we are not natives and sometimes we do make mistakes just like that sometimes when I speak you know that I'm not a native but you know it's English is not because you are you your mother language is English that you can teach it to everyone and it's just it's just true form for every language I guess so you're gonna have ambitions and you gotta be loving kids so that you can I've been training many native speakers even if my self was that a non-native I'm a non-native speaker and at the end of the the training they were all like he might I cannot get where you from I can't can't your accent I got no idea where you are from I was like yeah guess and they would never guess and they wouldn't never guess [Music] kids back home so yeah shouting a little bit I had to say yeah be quiet guy no is easy yeah I don't have my private studio to do all that stuff down for that awesome reminding and which is really important to remind we are all equal when we teach English and here we go yep what is the process for applying work permit in China whoa man I got a right long long list it's gonna come on Mike some sell online courses so yeah just if you want to get trained by myself if you wanna the very first school works only yourselves gonna be how oh pretty much what the question daya asked me I'm going it's and even very deeply and I even have some companies mean in China who are working with the government to make sure that foreigners coming Tina are well treated and till their papers are because you will have to how to say that you you will have to to give planted a lot of papers for that and till all those papers are good recognized by the Chinese government so yeah you can come to China and they this company will make you sure that you start with a school that is very fight as well by the government so that you can be safe because you know there are lots of scams lots of engines in that can scam you and you arrive in country without a job at visa is about to terminate and then yeah I've seen many cases like that really not cool so that's why I also want to bring you all those first tips by if you want an offense of becoming an ESL teacher pretty if you want to come to China where I am yeah I hope that we can be colleagues why not so thanks for that awesome questions is gonna come brother don't worry great thanks for asking anyway good morning now I can he okay buh-buh-buh-buh question question question and now another question question question hi lovie brought the administrator of mic Sonia cell he's really nice he's helping me out because sometimes I I have some so many things to do so he's part of the Mike's home family Thank You Lodi he knows everything about my home you can ask him as well in the chat if you need whatever you need he kind of in terms of videos that you want to find a Mike's home for

there and yeah thanks for all of you for being in a chat and I had a question in my mind does putting kids on camera help get their attention a bit more at this far in the video I always call it the video effect and especially saw awesome when I do this at my school the teachers will be always saying one sentence that good because Mike can send this video to your parents so you better be good and the key thought was doing great and there was one show of training showing that yeah I can do something and that's helping in the class sometimes the class are even better they pay more attention because of this camera and it helps me into my controlling bag controlling that class but even or not that's what it is savvy fan long time no see brother welcome in the chat hi Mike good evening greetings from India howdy line classes we we teachers are using whatsapp software what hell of to chat and Tish all chatting yeah teaching oh no man what's that what's that there's a joke sorry to say there's like directly but yeah I'm really truth students keep responding yes sir okay sir and reply any time yeah but I don't know what are you doing with what's happen if you can have conference cold that's all fine but yeah it's far a way to be the best tool mmm yeah I don't know if they change their their waiver what's up is for me really we back in China using WeChat but not for online classes for online classes China is full of different different platforms like what was that platforms like class in platforms like ding ding Tao Kendall suck man cuckoo the meter cube was quite pretty awesome really awesome platform but yeah yeah don't worry down she's out thanks good to see you Mike it's me again ass and you know support it's good to see you brother thank you you an ass welcome into the chat ESL power first row thanks angel demon oooh that's a demon demon demon a demon in the house angel and demon that's to me thank you for sharing your information alright you're very welcome are you an angel or a demon and we have pity can leave welcome they can we on the chat as well and asking if there anyone from sunshine here yeah making friends on my soul is what I love hi Mike my pit bulls are good at ridding speaking in grant in speaking in grammar but the problem that makes me unhappy is that they make many mistakes when they write what's the solution so the solution is I'm not here to be in the class I again I don't teach writing and I don't know what level are your students but what make what missing they make lots of mistakes when they write is because the problem is not coming from them but probably coming from you it's very typical to for teachers to say yeah they are now good they always make mistakes of this and that that was just before you say that you're gonna put them out change your way of teaching writings and if there's a problem with writing probably because there's a problem with what you say earlier they can speak very well or just say yeah writtings dick they're good at reading and speaking so it might be a problem in reading in here and make sure they match the right letter to the right sound that is very important if they know the sound of this letter they're going to write the letter properly so make sure for example in the class you can tell them make the sound for example I don't know and then as one of one of your students to go to the board and write the letter or you can make it even again you can divide your class into four teams like this you can see very quickly all the classes you the class is responding very well you just say for example a letter you saying no another letter the sound of the letter listen to me the set of this letter for example if you say if you want to say the sound of the letter D so you say and then the kids run to the born then they are supposed to write the letter that from the sound you made and in this way he will probably defined where the problem is it will solve your problem with reading then speaking first and grammar I don't know but I don't know how old are you kids whatever that can be a good solution to it where are those where the problem is another question does the giveaway work on smartphones it doesn't work on my phone ah if the giveaway never tried that that's a great question about that yeah damn thank you so much yeah on uh it's a flash game so I guess if you have a flash application on your on your on your phone should be working then after that you're gonna be able to share it on your phone so yeah I'm not sure if it's gonna work properly for sure right thank you very much for your question yeah I was wondering if Miss when I was in in the live chat because I've been checking her her YouTube channel and yesterday we were talking about shapes and especially to teach online so you you guys might be interesting in the way to teach online and when I was watching Miss abuela is one of a she pops up sometimes in the chest and was quite pretty often to tell you the truth and yes sometimes she she is studying online teaching and the other day we were we were talking about escapes and she had she's got something really interesting about teaching shapes she started in a way that was really really funny we could watch it later if if she's on bigoli hum I do you speak Mandarin yes I can Neha I am quite a worker the one I morontia

wants the province where a mirror saw movin t mo mada josiah thank you big lee Floriana welcome back can you please share free talking any other appeal your's or me now to be effective what to do what do you mean free talk free talk if we talk would be a topic so you gotta bring a topic on the table and you're gonna ask for the money you're gonna probably before you start talking about this topic make sure that the kids can express their opinion correctly mmm probably the first class you would have to prepare some articles whatever they're from newspapers or online that's all good about a topic so let them check out those different articles the pros and the cons about the topic and then give them some new vocabularies and then also how to express their opinion then after that you can let the you can divide your class into two groups you got it one is gonna be the pros of the topic and the cons right oh my god what other kid so yeah the pros and the cons about this stuff then you can you can ask them to think about it get their arguments there yet their arguments or their arguments yeah ready for the next week where everybody can have a free talk so for your first two hours can be probably about giving more vocabulary and how to express your opinion and then they can have a free talk about it and you are in the middle telling them yet correcting them and sometimes just let them know let them talk even though they're making mistakes because if you have a shy class they many of them would speak probably for the first sign so let them let them interact and just correct them and then yeah at the end of the day all the sort of the class of the day they will be asking you hey teacher what's your opinion so get a conclusion ready about the pros and the cons and make it fair with and without giving really your own opinion and let them understand it you are wise and that both opinion can be you can really support them but yeah in different it all depends on your topic thanks for your question fluorine I hope it will be helpful I don't know how old are your kids but when you talk about free talk I was thinking about more elder kids wow your pronounce is really
