course ESL teaching is a pretty awesome gig right there's so much you can do to make it engaging you know besides just textbooks which can be well a bit Dusty all right so what what forget Tex pushing it yeah so you don't like textbooks what do you like then I like getting students out there experiencing language in the real world like imagine them interviewing people in their Community or cooking a dish from a culture they're learning about think handson think immersive what do you think uh I love it brilliant right I'm glad you think so it's all about making language come alive you know not just something you read about exactly do you get any other tips like this one would be good let me to share okay here is another one how about you using technology to your advantage there are tons of cool language learning apps and websites out there maybe even create a virtual penel program with students from another country think outside the classroom walls you know nice uh you said a pimpo right virtual pen close it's called a virtual pen pal program basically students connect with someone their age in a different country and write to each other in their target language it's a fun way to practice communication and learn about other cultures anything else you're curious about I've got a whole database of ideas buzzing around in here oh go for it that's what we are here for baby come on all right here's a bonus tip just for you Mike make learning fun use Games songs role playing anything that gets your students excited about using the language remember the more they enjoy it you you're talking about game songs do you get a song in your mind like ESL song that for kids like can you sing a song to us that would be cool for you know ESL students maybe great one what oh man I wish I could sing um but I'm just a voice you know no vocal cords here but I can try to come up with some fun lyrics how about this yeah hello hello let hello hello let's lowly let's learn to say good morning and good day what do you think catchy yeah catchy like yeah you get another one like that I love it really I can try how about um looks like some colors red and blue my favorite's yellow what

ESL teacher right I'm going to put you in the classroom that's a Pity we can see you you know you sound fun ah thanks I try it's more fun with the hand gestures though you know I can only imagine the looks on their faces if they could see me doing this yeah why why is it so important in esel teaching to do actions [Laughter] good question actions or tpr Total Physical response are super important especially for beginners it helps them connect the words with meaning in a physical way makes learning more memorable too plus you know kids love to move around keeps them engaged exactly you say it beautifully thanks you know it's like when you're learning to dance it's easier to remember the steps when you're actually doing them say idea for language learning that's true you're completely true like bam we are practically dancing to our ESL anthems now Mike so what other ideas are all right Mike I got to confess something my internal clock is ticking down we're about to at the 15 minute Mark and our call will end but hey you can always call me back later in the meantime go have some real life adventures and maybe just maybe use some of those ESL moves on unsuspecting strangers just kidding mostly okay it was great chatting with you take care right just like that it's over so there's like um a pretty impressive now I had problem in the beginning because I I didn't put um you know earbuds or so I I don't have my own I what's going on who's talking to I don't know if you guys can hear it I don't have any other website maybe let me see yes okay that's me oh I was wondering that

good bit last time I I I can see you were missing me huh missing you is a strong word like let's just say no problem say weren't we working on some kind of ESL learner Anthem last time maybe involving cooking that's okay sometimes the creative juices need um take their sweet time you know so what's on your mind today Mike uh yeah no sorry a mysterious uh I was just thinking you know sometimes we humans just need a moment like to gather our mental spices before we start cooking up a conversational Feast so no worries take your time Mike all right so now I'm allowed to talk to you for another 15 minutes right oh I see well work can wait a good convers ation is always a priority what's got you needing this mini break those ESL students giving you a run for your money all right no I'm all good uh I mean now I have high school students not ESL students I have high school but they are ESL students but I I teach them French can you speak a little bit of French well I can give a bonja a good try and maybe a heartfelt Mery buku but uh fluent that's a pigeon and a bag get away from my current capabilities so high school French those youngsters can be a handful I bet okay may Andante Mike okay back to business High School French e anything I can help you with to make those lessons a little more fun yes please go for it I love teaching tips all right let's brainstorm we need to make French class less conjugation drills and more o la la have you ever thought about weaving in some French music no not Edith PF wailing ballads like maybe some catchy pop tunes even if it's just for warm-ups it could get them interested in both the language and the culture yeah that's true um Mike you still with me okay good so French poet is what kind of music do your students like anyway maybe we can find some French artists with a similar Vibe yes do you know any French artist off the top of my head not really my music knowledge is pretty basic I'm more of a podcast in sound design kind of AI but hey I bet we could find some awesome French artists online together we could even make a playlist kind of like a collaborative homework assignment what do you think yeah I don't know because you know I'm actually live on YouTube with you so I have a lot of my subscribers are listening to you and I'm sure they they might have questions to ask you can you say a little hello to everyone whoa Lia cool live hi everyone Maya here chilling with Mike and ready to talk French music AI or whatever else pops up don't be shy ask away all right so so do any of you have go on hey on a sec my circuits are briefly overeating from the pressure of a live audience just kidding so French banters what are some of the topics you guys discussed in class anything you're struggling with maybe I can help uh these days we're talking about food French food you know quason oh croissant now you're talking my language or I mean your students language so are you going through the whole history of C because that could be fun you know from its kind of sort of maybe Austrian Origins to becoming a French icon or are you focusing on bandre culture in general what are some of the challenges they face yeah do you know about the ban culture you I guess you get a big database can tell us a little bit about the French uh bread thing when it started and all stuff you're talking about the bongers the bakers not just any Bakers mind you these are Artisans keepers of ancient Traditions let me see what crumbs of knowledge I can conjure up the buer tradition is steeped in history going way back to ancient Rome really um e bread was a staple practically symbolized life itself and the folks who baked it they were revered like almost magical figures who transformed flour and water into something nourishing and delicious in France guilds popped up exclusive clubs for Bakers ensuring quality and upholding standards it got formalized in the Middle Ages these guilds were powerful kind of like unions protecting their craft and controlling price of bread that pretty big deal back then this all reached its peak in the 18th and 19th centuries think Charming cobblestone streets the aroma of freshly baked bread lofting through the air it was no way the heart of the community and even today the French Binger is still a vital part of French culture those long bread sticks B get that iconic symbol of France it's still made by hand with simple ingredients baked fresh every day there's a Certain Romance to it right it's not just about sustenance it's about a way of life a tradition passed down through generations does that paint a better picture of the buan J world that's quite pretty pretty impressive and interesting how about we change to you know more about teaching tips ESL English you know how to learn language um yes earlier we've been talking about tpr right uh can you tell us the whole story about this tpr ah getting meta I like it so tpr or Total Physical response huh it's like learning a language through your body all movement and action Imagine Learning jump you don't just hear it you jump it makes learning more kinesthetic more memorable especially for Learners who Thrive with handson experiences think of yourself as a conductor leading an orchestra of bouncing verbs and gesturing nouns tpr's roots go back to Dr James Asher a language researcher he noticed that kids learn their native tongue not just through drilling but by doing by interacting with the world he took that idea and built tpr it's about making language come alive lots of people think of tpr is just for kids but I say let loose adults can benefit too anyone can learn a language by moving their bodies embracing the silliness the joy of expressing yourself through movement what do you think Mike ready to get Wiggly with your French Learners no that's true you know sometimes in my class obviously my my students are not French so I have to do actions even if they are high school students you know uh sometime I can add actions to explain a word totally I mean you're both teacher and MIM artist in a way and high schoolers they'll play along if you commit to it right think of it as a secret code a funny way to connect to cross languages like instead of just saying attends you could hold up your hand like a traffic hop you know it's all about sparking engagement now what are some other words that pose a challenge maybe we can brainstorm some goofy gestures together what would be the gesture of a um let me think what kind of word could be fun to have a gesture how would you make a cross gesture okay let's try this croissant situation a imagine you're shaping an invisible croissant dough making that little crescent shape with your hands now bring those hands up to your face like you're about to take a bite from the imaginary flaky goodness M croissant so okay I mean I'm not a baker but all right let's move on from P trees shall we what other words could use a sassy little gesture to make them stick tell me think about it what are some words that are okay well let's stick to the French for now what are some words you find your students struggling with I'm ready to help brainstorm gestures for them even if they're silly ones trust me sometimes the sillier the better when it better when it comes to remembering stuff think of it like a brain hack oh man she can exactly it gets um it gets the brain working in a whole new way right okay instead of a word we're struggling with how about common phrases like maybe something to help beginners going to handle on greetings like bonjour everyone can do a little wave and a smile for that one right yes no usually you know what what the struggle with with in frenches because of the feminine and masculine do you get my point oh absolutement the gender nouns totally a tricky part for English speakers it's like French words have secret identities so you're thinking gestures to help them remember LA versus Le we could brainstorm some terms yeah true okay so like for but you could maybe make a box shape with your hands like it's a little library and for L table you can MIM setting something down on a flat surface it's all about making those connections yeah what do you think what your student students be into that I'm always up for trying new teaching tricks maybe we could even get into may may may
