My top tip is to get students speaking as much as possible! This usually means students working together in pairs or small groups, instead of the entire class.

[TESOLAustralia]

Great video! As a TESOL course provider the most important tip I like to give my graduates is: Focus on your connection with the students. From that everything else springs.

[shreyabadakh]

Just loved it! Thank you so much for their awsome tips and sharing your experiences.

[ok-englishok]

[terijones]

I'd love to hear more about scheduling. Thanks for the great info!

[MichelleGayScienceTeacher]

Awesome presentation! This advice can be used by any new teacher. Blessings Friend!

[CarynCaldwell]

I am so glad to have found you! I'm a regular ed. teacher working on my ESL endorsement while tutoring ESL students in an after-school program. I am excited to earn my certification and my own classroom. I can tell you are going to be a wealth of information! I just joined the Facebook communities you suggested, and can't wait to see what else I'll learn from you! Thanks!

[NonyeBalogun]

Thank you for these advice. These tips are good for every teacher, whether old or new. Thanks for sharing.

[anabakos]

This is awesome! Thank you so much! I wish I would have had this last year on my first year of being an ESL teacher, now on my 2nd I still feel the same lol... so thank you!

[MsErika]

This was so helpful! Oh my goodness I am so thankful you made this channel! And so thankful I found it! I will be binging your videos :) I am not a teacher but have volunteered to fill a needed position for ESL for adults. I really want to do a good job for them. I have no idea how to run a class! I really want to give them what they need. You are giving a big gift to us by sharing all of your knowledge! Thank you :)❤️

[theofiliamal]

Thank you for your kind help and useful tips and advice 🧡🌼

[DLIconJocelyne]

This will be my first year as an ESL teacher and this video was great! I am interested in the PD information!

[marierowtham]

Thank you so much for your useful advice, i am starting my out this september.

[alexandrealopez]

Thank you! I am working with K-2 ELL students, definitely felt overwhelmed but this video made me feel so much better.

[AlphieG]

Thank you so much for this video. I will be teaching ELA in High School soon. This is my first time to teach in US and I am in a state of mixed feelings.

[mynewyork]

9:55 For me, this took about 3 weeks. I teach in a K-5 school. So, most of the potential ELLs will always be in kindergarten. And I want to say thanks for posting the advice on being good to oneself, working on one thing, & getting your classroom management down pat. I'm a first year ENL teacher who pulls out & pushes in, & keeping up with my planning is challenging. But my principal has noted that I have strong relationships with my students (even though some of them still misbehave) & I think that comes from my classroom management style. If you don't have classroom management down & address behavior, then it's hard for all to learn. After hearing that from you, I feel better about my practice & future as a teacher.

[MooncakeEnglish]

Some very practical tips for new teachers, thanks for sharing!

[mrsabuela]

Hola The Language Lady, I will be starting out in sep2020, Thanks for all these tips, very useful for me. And so glad to join all these differents teaching groups that improve my english skills🤗 So helpful 🤗

[ellenririe]

I just watched this video for the first time. Thank you so much! I'm working on my ESL K-12 endorsement at Idaho State University. I was supposed to have 40 hours of ESL field experience this semester, but due to COVID restrictions it was all cancelled and substituted with online activities. This loss of the field experience opportunity is creating anxiety for me because I still don't know what being an ESL teacher "looks like". Your video provided me with some badly needed information!

[barbaraamymalagraph]

Hello and thank you so much for this video. This will be my first year as a newly graduated TESOL teacher. I will be working in a middle school. As of yet, I have no information on what classes I will be teaching. As I listen to your video, I am not even sure how I will get to engage with my students. This experience is so new and so intimidating.
