  • Grammar Game (can be used to teach other lessons)
  • Elementary - Advanced
  • Group Work
  • Students must correctly answer the given questions in order to make a goal.

The teacher
The teacher prepares the quiz of the grammar point(s) attached on the sticks, modified football field, and the player sticks (2 teams). The field is divided into some parts with blue lines.

Class Activities
Students work in 2 teams, say, the Red Team and the White Team, and they place their team logo in the center of the field. A member of the Red Team mentions a number of the players in red. S/he must answer the question attached in the player whose the number is mentioned. If s/he can correctly answer it, the team logo can be moved to the next blue line. If s/he can't do, the logo is still in the place. Then, a member of the White Team does the same with the players in white.

The aim is that the team can move to the last blue line of the opponent area. If the member correctly answer the question in the last blue line, it means that s/he makes a goal. Then, the logo team is moved to the center of the field again. The teacher must set how long the game last.

To Educate or To Teach?

People define the words educate and teach differently. The people doing the job is called educator or teacher. Educator seems better since the person not only teaches but also has other responsibilities or roles such as providing moral values in the lessons, make students have positive attitude, knowing students’ condition, discovering the superiority of students, observing them carefully, and many more. The definition is broader than the definition of teacher. I refer the definition to other cases, actually. A teacher is defined as the one teaching and doing things relating to transferring knowledge. Some like being called an educator. What makes them different? The definition of the term or the real work? Are you a teacher or an educator? I still remember that my teachers ever talked about this. They said that they weren’t teachers but educators. They also showed the reasons of this matter. Others have got cool terms to refer teachers or educators like a chaos coordinator, ...

Writing Vs Imagining

I wish I could always update what I've started. Actually, I'm writing not to tell others of how teaching English is, but these are for my own reminder since I can't manage my stuff of teaching things well. By writing them, I can easily check what I want to use for my following different classes. However, I'm not good writing, and vlog now seems more popular; I mean useful; than blog. I hope someday I can continue writing. Have I got vlog? No, I haven't. I keep updating my Instagram, @teflcase_teachingenglish. It doesn't mean that I provide awesome teaching tips or such stuff, but I just want to make such kinds of place to save what I have made, so that in a different occasion I can look at them again for some purposes. I, actually, try to write more procedures of teaching English for some class activities, but I may rethink to continue writing due to some reasons. I know Imagining is more fun that Writing; I think. Then, I don't write but imagine. My bad...

Empowering

I'm an English teacher who tries to make my students happy, but I'm not a super teacher who always helps students make significant improvement. I've got some routines to make my class alive. My students leave good feedback dealing with this. I know about how to be a powerful and happy teacher because of my students. Started from greeting the students, I must always look happy and show positive looks. Greeting students enthusiastically is the power or energy for students. I should give positive welcome to students by smiling, helping students, asking students whether they've got problems, and seeing students. I make students ready to start the class and they talk something good to entertain and motivate students. I don't start the materials directly, but I start the classes with fun activities encouraging them to happily learn in my class. I empower them by giving good words, news, stories, facts, and so forth. I also manage my voice in my classroom. The ...
