How To Proceed

1. 
   1
   Lesson Material
   Especially with beginners it is important to go slowly.
   There is a steep learning curve at the very beginning of their studies
   especially if you are the first to introduce them to the Latin alphabet.
   Try to introduce manageable chunks of information and do not add in
   more information until your students are comfortable with what they have
   already covered. This may mean that they are not able to understand the
   purpose of learning certain things initially but perhaps after a few
   lessons on a topic, you can help put it all together and then they will be amazed at how much they have learned. For example, in one lesson you may teach your students the words I, you, he/she/it and what they mean but they cannot make sentences with this vocabulary until you give them some verbs to work with which may not be appropriate until a later lesson.

   Teacher Talking
   In the classroom you will also have to slow down your talking speed.
   Students are never going to understand you if you are talking a mile a
   minute. If you assist a teacher who is not a native speaker and would
   like you to speak at a normal speed, you can speed up slightly but a
   normal speed would not be appropriate for beginners. At the intermediate
   and advanced levels, you may speak more rapidly as their grasp on
   English increases and they can follow you better but it may still be
   challenging for them. When you do choral repetition or drill exercises,
   be sure to enunciate clearly and be loud enough for the
   entire class to hear you. It is often difficult for people to
   understand you, if your mouth is hidden from view which is odd because
   your students are supposed to be listening but even so, try to direct
   your attention towards your students, as opposed to the blackboard for
   instance, when you are talking to them and hold flashcards at an appropriate level.

   Practice
   Choose practice activities that are
   simple, easy to understand, and easy to explain. Using lots of words
   that students don’t recognize to explain how to do a practice activity
   is only going to further confuse them. In many cases a demonstration may be your best option.
   As your students improve, you can introduce more complex activities but
   if an activity ever takes longer to explain that to complete, it is not
   worth doing again. Practice activities should revolve around students
   having the opportunity to speak English so even worksheets should be
   used for that purpose. After a worksheet has been completed, ask for
   volunteers to read the questions, translate the questions, and give the
   answers. Try to involve as many students as possible and give them continuous positive feedback.

   Have Fun
   Language studies give students the opportunity to learn in a different way. English should not be taught the same way Mathematics or History is taught.
   There is no room for lectures because luckily as the teacher, you
   already know how to speak English while the students really need to
   practice more than anything else. Getting students to communicate with
   you and each other in a positive creative environment should be the goal
   of every language teacher. You can incorporate many different games
   into your lessons and with lots of miming and role plays students will probably laugh at you, in a good way, on more than one occasion. Taking
   the focus away from grammar rules and focusing on communication will
   encourage them to try their best, which is all you can really ask of
   them.
   

Students just beginning their English studies have absolutely no idea
what to expect so it is beneficial to you and all their later English
teachers to help them enjoy it by encouraging them and showing them that
learning another language is not an overwhelming task.
