hi lypau,

Don �t worry! it �s all about breaking it up into steps:
1) Discuss learning objectives and curriculum expectations with the teachers.  What are the students expected to learn (for their specific grade)?  The teachers need to know this.  If you need ideas about curriculum expectations, you can take a look at lots of ESL curriculum expectations from other countries.

Just jump to the parts for each ESL level and see how they �ve divided the curriculum.

2) Provide them with a lesson plan template so that they know how to deliver their lessons.  Simple examples would be...


3) Prepare them with some materials, strategies, and games that you or other teachers have used already.  Direct them to places where they can find their own materials and/or make materials (eslprintables!).

Think about
- pronunciation
- grammar
- reading/writing skills
- listening
- speaking

You can do it!! Learning to teach teachers is a process too... so be patient with yourself and respectful of your new teachers � needs and everything will go fine!

Four more things to teach (there are so many, but let �s keep it simple for now):

1. learn to teach from other teachers - visit your colleagues lessons, make notes, ask them questions afterwards; you can learn from the best as well as from the worst (from some what to do, from some what to avoid), and observe the reactions of their sts
2. teachers must always come to the lesson prepared and on time (with respect for their sts and their profession - preparation keeps authority, shows and earns respect and provides good material retention)
3. no students are ever too grown-up to play games while learning - so teach your teachers to use games in their lessons - they make interaction more easy and always gives aour sts something to take home (which is not material, but pure knowledge in fun and memorable form)
4. share actively- teachers who want to improve their knowledge should always have workshops - seminars and lectures from you to your trainee teachers are useful, but always finish with a workshop where they put into action what you taught them (if you tell them how to play the hangman game, play one with them and have them play with you and each other - that way it will come easy to them in practice with their sts)
