The dog is walking so the dog's footsteps are going to be in the video.
2
Hey guys, so recently I've been getting quite a lot of feedback from you
3
which has been great because that means that you're watching my videos and that they actually mean something to you.
4
So yeah, thanks.
5
One question that I got that I thought was pretty interesting was
6
how to get your students to interact with one another on your lessons.
7
and I thought that this could be quite an important topic to talk about
8
because it's a problem that I had in the beginning as well.
9
I love teaching one -on -one.
10
I think it's the best way to teach English just because
11
you get so much more time to spend with one person and maybe that's for a different video.
12
But sometimes you have to teach in groups.
13
And with teaching in groups, there come different problems.
14
One of which I experienced, and this was the fact that when you have a group of people, you have many different personalities,
15
which means you get shy people, and you get very talkative people and what usually happens is that the talkative people,
16
well, talk a lot and the shy people kind of disappear into the background.
17
Another thing that I noticed is that in groups it's a lot more difficult for people to open up.
18
So even if these are people who aren't shy, they might feel uncomfortable to speak when they're in a group just because they're
19
not really confident about their language and about speaking in front of their peers or their colleagues in another language.
20
So over the past couple of years, I have used a couple of different methods to get my students
21
talking on my lessons
22
and interacting with each other in my lessons some of these
23
ideas are in mine i also have to google them up
24
and find them on the internet but i'd love to share them with you guys
25
So one of the first things I like to do on my lessons, on my group lessons, are warm -ups.
26
One of the warm -ups, which is I guess the most basic and most obvious one, is I start by asking my students how they are.
27
and asking a little bit about their lives, what they've been up to, and kind of seeing where the discussion goes on from there.
28
Because sometimes it can, I don't know,
29
somebody can do something or have done something over the weekend that will join with somebody else's story and
30
you'll get a discussion going on.
31
Sometimes, however, I got students who like to give me easy answers.
32
Easy answers being, Oh, I don't know, nothing much.
33
Or I just stayed at home.
34
Or I'm fine and they wouldn't
35
elaborate on that idea which made things very difficult for me
36
because it's hard to have a discussion when somebody keeps on ending it. with you.
37
So for the students that gave me very quick and easy answers, I found another way.
38
What I would do is on the next lesson, I would get the students to talk not about themselves but about the person sitting next to them.
39
So if it's an introductory lesson, what
40
What is great is I would get them to introduce the person sitting next to them
41
That usually ended in quite a laugh and it made the atmosphere like a More.
42
easy going and if that didn't work then i had another i had this other thing that worked.
43
I have an envelope with these random words and I would get my students to pick out a random word,
44
and we would kind of go around in a circle
45
where one person would start a story that had to contain this word, and then the next person would continue with their word.
46
These could be short words like, I don't know, beard and bust and I don't know, cat too.
47
If you want to be more ambitious, these could be words that you used in your previous lesson.
48
So it could be like a vocabulary practice
49
so another way to get your students talking
50
but this is a bit of a brutal way is talking
51
with a timer this is what my english teacher used to do to us in in primary school
52
and although it was really stressful i do only have positive memories about it
53
which is why i do it with my students otherwise i wouldn't put them through this turmoil
54
but um the point of talking topic and they have to talk about this topic for um,
55
you can decide if it's two minutes or three minutes or five minutes I would stick to like
56
two minutes in the beginning, because it really can get quite difficult.
57
And the topics can be really random.
58
And also you don't have to think of the topics yourself.
59
You can give your students the opportunity to give topics to one another.
60
And the last thing that I'll share with you is my personal favorite that works every time.
61
It's the most important thing because it's what makes my lessons work and this is a
62
Topics of interest and when I say topics of interests, I mean getting to know your students well enough
63
to be able to prepare topics for them that they are interested in and that's spark their enthusiasm on your lessons.
64
This does take a bit of work because it means
65
that you have to spend the first couple of lessons building a connection with your students and a relationship.
66
But it really pays off because as a teacher it makes The next.
67
series of lessons you have with this group really easy.
68
because you don't have to motivate them to talk.
69
They will talk on their own because it'll be topics that they are passionate about.
70
So after speaking with my one group, I found out that they were quite upset with their management and the way the management was treating them as employees.
71
And this sparked quite an interesting discussion that I saw that even those
72
who usually don't participate in my lessons had this fire that they wanted to share how unfair they felt certain situations were.
73
And what I did in the next couple of lessons is I
74
pulled on these emotional strings and I found different videos on, for example, TED or articles about
75
successful companies that really treat their employees well
76
and this sparked up more discussions and we could learn new vocabulary from these articles and these talks.
77
And together we kind of drew up ideas of the ideal
78
working environment that we would like to have or what things we would change within the company.
79
And this was pretty amazing because
80
They had a lot to say and I was basically just there to listen
81
and to either correct mistakes or add in the correct vocabulary and they were doing all the talking.
82
So yeah, so if you find the topics that interest your group,
83
what you can then do is find short videos on YouTube about this topic or TED Talks or
84
articles that you can then either send to your students before the next lesson
85
or you can use them to watch and discuss the next time that you meet with them.
86
So those were my tips on how I get my students to interact with one another on my lessons.
87
If you guys have any questions or maybe there are some problems that you guys encounter on your group lessons, maybe I can help out.
88
Otherwise, thanks for watching.
89
Don't forget to like and subscribe and I will see you soon.

Por que praticar conversação com este vídeo?
Praticar a fala em inglês é essencial para se sentir confiante ao conversar em um segundo idioma. Neste vídeo, o instrutor compartilha técnicas valiosas para incentivar a interação entre alunos durante as aulas. Por meio de várias atividades, ele demonstra como tornar o ambiente de aprendizado mais dinâmico e encorajador. Isso não só ajuda os alunos a se expressarem melhor, mas também promove uma atmosfera colaborativa onde todos podem aprender uns com os outros. Ao implementar as dicas apresentadas, você poderá melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e desenvolver suas habilidades de comunicação.
Gramática e Expressões em Contexto
No vídeo, observamos algumas estruturas linguísticas e expressões que são cruciais para conversas em grupo:
- "How are you?" - Uma pergunta simples, mas poderosa, que pode abrir diálogos e quebrar o gelo.
- "What have you been up to?" - Essa expressão convida os alunos a falarem sobre suas experiências, estimulando a narrativa pessoal.
- "Let’s introduce the person next to you." - Uma excelente maneira de envolver todos os participantes e incentivar a prática de apresentar outros, o que também melhora a capacidade de comunicação.
- "Pick a random word." - Esta técnica ativa a criatividade e ajuda os alunos a praticarem vocabulário de maneira lúdica.
Essas expressões são extremamente úteis em situações do cotidiano, e a prática de conversação em inglês utilizando essas frases ajudará a solidificar os conhecimentos adquiridos.
Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia
Durante o vídeo, alguns desafios de pronúncia podem surgir:
- A palavra "introduce" pode ser pronunciada de maneira errada se não houver atenção à sonoridade de cada sílaba.
- A expressão "pick a random word" pode ser difícil para os falantes iniciantes; a conexão dos sons em “pick” e “a” pode resultar em confusão.
- Além disso, a entonação e a ênfase em diferentes partes da frase são cruciais para a compreensão e podem ser um desafio para quem está aprendendo.
Ao focar nessas palavras e frases em sua prática de conversação, você poderá não só evitar erros comuns, mas também melhorar a pronúncia em inglês de forma eficaz, tornando suas interações mais naturais.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | has been · they've been · have done |

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
