You seem to have a very calm and grounded energy as a teacher, Louisa - I might even call it gravitas. I enjoyed this demo, and how quickly you affirmed your student's level and expressed that they had a good foundation to build on. I really enjoy and appreciate your approach of incorporating reflective listening into teaching. I also appreciated how you demonstrated your attentiveness non-verbally, leaving pauses and nodding your head. Thank you for sharing these resources - they are great for my CPD. 😊

Thanks for sharing this lesson, teacher Louisa - But when we have beginner students. We ask some questions and they don't know how to answer, they can be nervous and they don't know any grammar structure to speak. My question; How can we speak with beginner students in online English lesson?

[HCKYXXV]

Should we do grammar exercises in a demo or is it ok just to ask questions?
