Your pronouncation is very clear because Iam not a native speaker and I would to be an English teacher.
My best regards.

This is without doubt the most enjoyable ESL I've ever seen. So tired of cheesy or incorrect ESL teaching/tips videos. Just subscribed. Very clear and precise, this AND he has cute cozy lights in his kitchen!

[anasbenhaddou]

I like them all. My most take away from this video is that I can actually use "delayed" translation time to time as long as they've worked up the meaning in their minds

Hey Martin, this is Stuart here from TEFL Lemon. Great video! I'm going to be including a link to your video on our unit on Teaching Vocabulary on our TESOL course. Really clear, with good advice!

[jackpilcher]

First of all, l really loved the background and the place where you explained the six tips of teaching words effectively. It is very simple and nice . I got a lot of benefits from your lesson thanks a lot 🙏 ❤❤❤❤

[paulyoung]

i adore how methodically your kitchen is organized...

[anthonybroadhurst]

All your tips are great. The use of collocations and phrases is the best as it involves the student using their imagination and in so doing expands their thinking to real situations they have been in. This I hope aids their learning greatly.

I love your way of talking and your tips are very useful... me to an English language teacher

Hi Martin, your simple tip of giving context and letting the students guess the translation is very helpful. I will try and discipline myself to do this more often. Also the circles to aid pronunciation is an ingenious idea, much clearer than one line under the stressed syllable. Many thanks!

[margaretfan]

Teacher Martin, I like your kitchen, nice decor". That's right, "stress" makes sound different. Thanks for the tips.

[gladysmendozan]

All are important I'm going to apply it. Thanks

[taiwohassanolokodana]

Hi! Thank you Martin, you have done well to take us through the useful tips. Very helpful. I have a little observation. The tip 1 is better described as syllable stressed not word stress. Thank you.

[TeachNInspireWithSean]

For a specific category of words, I would recommend to use a graphic organizer to help students to retrieve their own prior knowledge and experience.

[elizabethwang]

Thank you so much Martin! I am not a teacher yet, but want to use all of your tips. I will have to answer the question at the end of the video after I have started. Thank you for being very clear.

[Mina-frnc]

Really helpful, Martin! Thank you for making this video!👍

Hello Martin. I have watched this episode again and revised all the tips again. I would like to move forward from the given line the tip number one. It is really important to teach the word starting with its correct stress and pronunciation as it will solve further ss' problems in listening and comprehension of this word in the native speakers' speech. Correct stress is closely connected with the listening skill teaching and solve half of the problems when you fulfill the gaps in the very beginning.
