make learning FUN

Well as i teach English as a second language, I try my level best to make the learning fun as well as enjoyable  with the limited resources that I have. My school has a new building but with limited funding. Well let's just say that we do with what we can and the most important thing is that our "clients" do take home something at the end of the day. 


Well i am a firm subscribe to making learning fun and must be enjoyed by the children. Only then can some sort of understanding can take place. The lesson should be too long and boring but short and able to sustain the attention of the children. Well I know that children tend to get bored easily and will drift way is this does happen. Well teachers need to have the lesson fun and exciting. 


So, my class with the small children is " a bit too noisy" as always which is what my headmistress likes to point out. I do not blame her for thinking in that manner as she is right in her own way but as far as i am concern if a class is too silent then no teaching and learning has taken place. So i just need to "bear" with her rumblings at times. What teacher have to go through for their children. 


Sometimes, I like to tell my children the importance of learning the English Language. Knowing the importance from the young will help the child "want to learn" more of that subject. The child need to know the purpose on doing something and only then will the child be able to execute it well. There for it is very important that the child know its purpose on learning the language and practice it. 


Practice the language is important too. As the saying goes, practice makes prefect so in this sense too, language is important to be practice. I mean the children need to have a good avenue for that may it be at home or at school. This somehow helps the child to practice and do well in that language. 


Learning English through songs, video clips and rhymes will help to make the learning process more fun. It also will break away from the old school of thought which still use "chalk and talk".
