Trial lessons must satisfy parents. At the same time, teachers need to make sure that the kids enjoy learning English.

 

Teaching skills will be judged by a lesson and kids are usually nervous with a new teacher, in a new atmosphere and the new language.

 

Please start the lesson with following tips.

 

１．Remember the names of the trial students in advance. Name tags using alphabetic letters is a good idea. Kids in trial lessons are usually nervous and teachers should act friendly to make them feel comfortable.

 

２．Prepare some fun music, picture books and picture cards that kids can join naturally to the atmosphere of an English lesson.

 

３．Focus on the fun part of using English through activities.

 

４．At the beginning children are not confident to speak in English. Do not force them but praise them when they speak English even if it’s not a full sentence.

 

５．If a trial student speaks in English out loud at the end of the lesson, even just a word, it means your lesson was a success.

 

Do not keep the same activity for too long with trial students (no longer than 10 minutes per activity). It depends on the age but teachers must move on before kids get tired of an activity.
