English Only

Hi, Does anyone have some ideas about how to encourage English only in the classroom. I especially want to get the younger learners speaking only English. Thanks, Esther |

It depends on how young they are. I have a puppet who �speaks and understands � only English so my six year olds have to use English inorder to interact with him.

Thanks Fleur. I use puppets too with the very little ones. I teach all ages -- from 4 to adults. The ones I �m thinking about are from 7 to 11. They know some English but are reluctant to use it. When I was in Taiwan, we had an English only policy in the classroom. We used reward tickets to encourage and punish the use of Chinese. It worked extremely well but I found that a little cumbersome here so I am looking for other methods. Thanks for your input, Esther |
