Dan and Sian talk about 3 ways to use realia.
Realia means real objects. There are lots of ways you can use a bunch of objects to teach English – even if they’re just random ones you grabbed in the staff room 5 minutes before the lesson!
And we offer you a classroom management tip.
With a student who is very enthusiastic, louder or quicker to the answer than many other students, instead of dealing with their answer as soon as they’ve said it, offer their opinion to the rest of the class to confirm or reject before revealing the answer. This integrates the rest of the group rather than ruining the suspense for them and avoids having to ask the louder student to quieten down a bit or stop dominating things.
