As a classroom teacher for 27 years, as well as an Outschool teacher for the last three years, I have noticed that many children do not know how to join in conversation. Some are quiet, some want to talk but don't know what to say, and others are self-conscious. This 1:1 class is based on my very popular group class and gives gives your learner opportunity to improve confidence in speaking. Learners will be encouraged to participate in discussion of every day topics in order to increase their confidence in expressing their opinions, speaking with detail, thinking logically, how to participate in difficult conversations and learning how to include themselves in conversation. They will also practice important conversational skills such as waiting for their turn, listening to others and staying on topic. Simple topics such as jungle animals, occupations, community helpers, food topics and other familiar talking points will help children feel comfortable. We will also discuss how to give simple directions and practice story telling with and without pictures, ask questions clearly, and join a group conversation. Many of the ideas for class discussions come directly from the learners. We will also include show and tell at the end of each class where children may tell about something that interests them personally. Teaching young ones to effectively communicate is a skill that will benefit them for a lifetime.

Every child is capable of learning, although some may learn in different ways. Making learning fun and working hard to learn produces children who want to learn even more! And isn't that our life goal?! Let's make life-long lovers of learning together!
