This video is a workshop which focuses on "Top Tips for Young Learner Teachers". There's a lot of practical ideas which you can use straightaway in your classroom.

What are your favourite games in the classroom? Do you have any tips or techniques for teaching young learners?

Quite interesting workshop. I'm a teacher trainer, and i find your style quite engaging. It's learner centered and I think they got a great deal out of this. Where are you located? and what kind of teachers are they? (high school? or a binational center?)

You have a brilliant approach, and if kids had teachers like you that are like the sun: bright, sunny and full of light, I'm sure the language learning approach worldwide would change to be joyful and positive!!

1. Two minutes is not enough to discuss 6 questions. It's probably best to narrow your questions down to 3 and then make the font bigger. That way, more people can see the questions and have a higher quality warm-up discussion.
2. I notice you don't model the activities before the activities, which could be an important part of classroom management.
3. You introduce an activity about classroom layouts, but this video doesn't debrief anything about the activity.
4. It might be helpful to see more demonstrations of the "Keeping Noise to a Minimum" to give workshop participants more hands-on experience. As the saying goes, "You can't learn how to ride a bike by reading about it."
5. I thought the "10 ways to start a lesson" at 29:00 were quite useful and could probably be a larger part of the workshop.

Overall, it appears participants got some useful tips out of the workshop. I think instead of some of the question rounds, you could incorporate one or two reflection activities to help participants connect workshop content with their own teaching contexts. Good luck with future workshops!

What advice would you give for anyone teaching young learners? Do you have any tips for teachers new to summer schools?

Idk if you still reply to comments but I'm 17 rn and I'm planning to become a teacher when I'm more grown but I want to know what schools I should start with if I become a certified teacher (Elementary middle or high school)
