  • as a teaching tip that I like Thio use with my students.

  • Always the beginning of a class is using a proverb what I call the proper off the day.

  • And that is usually a a saying that I sometimes pick up from textbooks or other sources.

  • And I want to start the class with that because I want them to think, start thinking, but their brains and gear.

  • So what I do is I write it on the board, let them look at it for a while, then start asking questions.

  • Okay, What do you think about this statement?

  • Doesn't make any sense to you.

  • Do you agree?

  • Disagree?

  • Why?

  • Why not?

  • And then I start kind of a conversation, mostly asking them to give me their opinions.

  • I value their opinions very much, and I always tell them that their their opinions are very important.

  • Basically, what I want them is to use English, okay?

  • And and use it in a way that it makes.

  • It's meaningful to them.

  • And it's also interesting.

  • They like to give their opinions and many of times way.

  • Teachers don't give our students a chance to voice their opinions, So I think this is a good way off having them voice their opinions at the same time, make a new inventory of their values.

  • Eso I feel that it is very important for them to do that to you and not only by expressing them themselves, but also by listening to other students.

  • Give their own opinions s o A.

  • For the first five or 10 minutes, I have my students engaged in revaluing okay their own moors and values on at the same time putting their brains in gear.

  • So later on, after five or 10 minutes, they are ready to start the glass.

  • It's much more easier for me to get them and focus in in whatever I wanna teach him later on, once I've done that activity.
