I was just looking at some videos for improving your teaching http://www.teflvideos.com/ and I really liked one about "Breaking Bad Teaching Habits". It talked about
- Talking to the board (don't do it 'cause your students can't hear you when you're writing)
- Repeating what your students say (it's unneccesary)
- Interrupting students (allow them think time)
I also liked the one about jazz chants.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_nPUuPryCs That video is with the inventor, Carolyn Graham and she explains how to create your own. I think I might try to work in a jazz chant once or twice a quarter. It's really good practice but some people will get tired of it very fast.
Songs with verb tenses:
http://youtu.be/TBpCxe4pK2E I just happened on this while searching for jazz chants. It would be great for practice identifying verb tenses. I need to type out the list for future use!
