Basic teaching skills

This module will take about one hour to complete.

It will cover the breakdown of a 25-minute lesson, the goals to achieve in each section and strategies for achieving them. 

In short, a lesson should look like this: 

  • 2-3 minutes: short but memorable introductions
  • 5-10 minutes: teaching value-added language or style  
  • 10-15 minutes: practicing that language or style 
  • 1-2 minutes: recap, cool down, setting homework and goodbyes

We'll go into detail about the goals and then work on effective strategies that suit your teaching style.
