Classroom Management for Young Learners
Controlling your class is essential to create a learning environment. If you are unable to guide your students through the class smoothly havoc ensues. Take control of your classes by following these simple steps.
English Basketball - created to bring some of the 2006 World Basketball Championship excitement to the classroom. This interactive conversational game gets the students speaking and excited. Use it to review or practice Q&A, new grammar, reading, or vocabulary. With foul cards and limited 3 pointers, strategy is a big part of why the students are so captivated!

Is there a way to subscribe to your podcasts so I can download them onto my ipod?

Of course, just look us up in iTunes and you’ll find us there. Hit the subscribe button and then set up your iPod preferences so that ESL Teacher Talk is downloaded to your iPod.

this has some ideas for starting out.
Start your own thread at any forum and you’ll see the TPR teachers come out. http://www.mes-english.com/forums/

It was really one of the best audios regarding ESL teaching strategies that I had listened. Thanks for that. I have been teaching English to young learners for about 6 years in Turkey and I believe that the strategies you suggested here will be helpfull.

Thanks for getting back to me you guys. I used TPR a lot in class as an introduction for the younger grades, just to get them excited and settled at the time. I should use it more in class to be honest but my classes are jammed packed as it is!
