In this class, students will be provided engaging, English as a Second Language lesson as a total immersion art class. I will be speaking and providing instruction 100% of the time in English. This class is perfect for learners who wish to learn more conversational sentences, learn new vocabulary and free talk while participating in this art class: clay. Practicing English everyday is important in order to learn the language. And this is a wonderful opportunity to do so with other English as a Second Language learners. Learners will be encouraged to respond to my questions, and talk about and respond to other classmates on their clay work while having fun exploring clay! I will prompt learners to engage with each other, using conversational complete sentences, correcting pronunciation and grammar errors. Supplies: Supplies are simple for this class- your child will need air-dry clay, a paper-plate or another form of a working surface, and a little pointy stick such as a wood skewer or other clay tools you might have. There are many makers of air-dry clay on the market- here are a few names : Crayola, it comes in a bucket, DAS is another good name too...I use air-dry clay that is actual clay...it is from the brand AMACO. Please use the type of air-dry clay your child likes. Teaching Method: I use the TPR method (total physical response) to teach English as a Second Language. By doing so, I use props and hand motions and facial expressions to help students understand vocabulary that they may not be familiar with. Teaching Experience: I am a qualified, native English Language Speaker, and I am certified as an ESL Teacher . I have many years experience teaching English as a Second Language to children from international settings. I hold a 120 Hour TESOL certification. **Please message me with any questions or to schedule this class at a different time!
Learning Goals
Students will gain confidence to speak in conversational English by learning to converse with other students while exploring clay!
