This guy is so bad and unprofessional it's painful. AND he's got the audacity to be selling, yes selling, a CD on lessons and how to teach. Unbelievable. If I observed him teaching I'd be close to sacking him
@msdontprocrastinate Seriously! This guy is actually selling ESL lessons on CD-ROM. And get this, he says, and I quote, "From the desk of the greatest ESL teacher!" No joke! Chews gum, snaps at his students, and shows no enthusiasm whatsoever. It does look like he hates his job.
YOU get a lot of speaking practice in this but the students don't. There is also no reason for them to listen to what is being said other than for the score. Better to have games where the students are in small groups so they then have more speaking practice and where they have to listen for example with an information gap activity.
@cornwallgeezer The preposition "with" is notoriously hard to teach. If I didn't know better I might be tempted to think that you were unaware of the somewhat random development of prepositional phrases in English, due to the disappearance of English case grammar, homeboy.
you're not enthusiastic about teaching aren't you? you just thinking about finishing thisclass fast and big paycheck.

Well, I was looking for some esl games and I think this one is good and easy to teach.
Thanks a lot. Yes Tawanese students love to name their teams with weird names like da pien and so on. Anyways, thanks for sharing.

Perhaps you should learn to teach before you try to make videos on teaching.
And giving a team the name Da Bien is truly tasteless, and shows how little respect you have for the students.

That was good, but you will need to enforce their pronunciation a bit more.
