Okay Sara, see if you can find a t-shirt, a t-shirt, off you go... Hi, I'm Jema Perry
and welcome to Mooncake where ESL teaching is made easy. If you're new here
then you need to know that I make weekly ESL teaching tip videos to help you
improve your English teaching. So if you are teaching ESL abroad make sure you
subscribe below and hit that notification bell for weekly ESL
teaching tips. Also real quick, if you are new here say hi in the comments below
and let me know where in the world you are teaching. Teaching online can be
tricky, most especially if you're used to classroom based teaching. Because we
don't have access to materials we usually use when teaching face-to-face,
it's easy to get lost and not know where to start. But actually a lot. of the
basics are still the same and we just need to apply them to online teaching.
For example, lesson planning is essential because the structure and the flow of
your class will determine just how well it goes. So if you need some tips on
lesson planning or how to get set up for online teaching professionally, then make
sure you check out this series right here, where I go through all the basics.
In today's video I'm going to show you how you can use mooncake PPTs to help
your students learn and practice new vocabulary. Now today's PPT teaches
clothing and is available for free on the Mooncake English website linked
below. So without further ado let's get started.
Now, just like any other class we need to start with a warm-up. For young learners
I like to use a song or a nursery rhyme as this works really well to capture
students attention. Now this could be a song that students have learned
previously and they really like or one that is related to the subject of the
day. For example, if your clothes have any red any red. If your clothes have any red
any red. If your clothes have any red, put your hands on your head, if your clothes
have any red any red. Next we're going to transition into introducing our PPT. To
do this we're gonna introduce Jimmy. Now Jimmy is a little shy so we're gonna
have the whole class chant together... Jimmy, Jimmy where are you? Jimmy, Jimmy where
are you? As students are chanting all together, you're gonna switch your screen
to that PPT presentation. This transitions really nicely without losing
students attention. Next, Jimmy's gonna say hello and you can have students
practice a dialogue with Jimmy. For example, they might ask questions like
how old are you or what's your favorite color. Anything the students might have
previously learnt. Next, explain that Jimmy has just finished hanging his
washing and then he wants to show us his washing line. Introduce the washing line
using chants and TPR as you do. Washing line, washing line, peg peg pig. Washing
line, washing line, peg peg peg. If you're not sure how to use chants and TPR in
your classroom, then make sure you check out my video linked below. And also real
quick, if you are finding this video helpful then make sure you hit that like
button as it really helps out the channel. Next you can introduce the
clothing one by one using chance and TPR as you do. T-shirt, t-shirt, short, short,
sleeves. T-shirt, t-shirt, short, short sleeves. So suddenly out of nowhere ,the
wind comes! And again, this is a great opportunity to add in some extra
language like this... The clothes blew away, the clothes blew away, the clothes
blew away. As soon as you stop the chanting you both discovered that Jimmy is naked! Quick
get dressed Jimmy! Ask your students to help Jimmy get dressed by naming the
different items of clothing. Now you'll notice that in the PPT a picture appears
before Jimmy puts on any clothes, and this is to encourage students to say the
word out loud or in a sentence before Jimmy gets dressed. Keep going again
and again until Jimmy is fully dressed and students have practiced all the new
language. Finally, before ending the lesson ask students what they're wearing
and see if they can practice that language in context. So you can see that
as I've explained how to use this PPT it flows very much like a story and
this is how we want it to work in class. If students feel like they are listening
and participating as part of a story then it's much easier to capture their
attention and encourage them to join in. So there you have it, a fun and engaging way
to teach clothing to young students online. Today's PPT is available for free
on the Mooncake English website, so make sure you check that out linked below and
