Ten Tips for Pleasure in your English Class
- Keep your sense of (English) humour whatever your pupils’ questions
- A pupil may hate English as much as he hates Maths: telling him how you fell in love with English may just help him change his/her mind
- Don’t forget a mentally active pupil makes a relaxed teacher
- A relaxed teacher makes happy pupils
- It’s easier to learn when you feel happy
- Remember you were a child once who enjoyed telling stories, playing games and solving enigmas
- Oral English may be felt as a maze of sounds and meaningless alien noises
- Being evaluated is stressful because it means being judged
- Self-assessment is somehow controlling the way you are being judged
- Understanding why and how you are evaluated makes your work meaningful
