    Hello!

    What should a 35 minute preschool EFL class look like?

    My school is focused on speech production. My students can parrot the language structures covered each week as written in the curriculum: "It is a dog." "My name is Banu." Etc. Not sure that I consider that acquiring the language and being able to communicate naturally.

    Or, at this age, is this the correct approach? Since mimicking is so natural for them, is this effective?

    I feel like they are young and definitely their ability to acquire English is at 12 different levels-there are 12 different students in each of my 6 classes.

    I have heard of TPRS for older students.

    What do I do with 4 and 5 year olds?

    Thank you,

    Cindy

    Hi there,
    I came across to this website: http://www.teachingenglishgames.com
    the other day, and I think it’s really useful.
    I have no doubt that you will find a lot of new ideas there.
