							| Starting an elementary course 
 |  
							| Hi dear colleagues: I wonder if you can help me. I �m about to start a private course for elemntary students. I �ve given private classes before but since it �s the first time I �m going to teach to a group of students (10 year old girls), I �d like to be sure about the order I must follow  (which grammar subjects and vocabulary give first)...I �ve tried checking the sequence at some books, but maybe I shouldn �t do that and try to be more  �original �...Are there any steps I must consider? I hope you can help me. Thanks. Maria Isabel |  1 Oct 2010

							| Hi Maria!   I always try to start from the greetings and introductions! It �s easy and they can have a lot of fun with that! After you can start introducing the subject pronouns and occupations! I have some private students and it �s been always very nice to start from this topics. You can play a lot of games with the vocabulary about professions!   I hope you and your students have fun!   Have a nice wekend!  |  2 Oct 2010
