 Tip when teaching English as a foreign language to children, don't talk for long periods. The worst thing you can probably do is the complete opposite from the point above. When you spend too much time talking about vocabulary, grammar, or even just instructions for a task, the energy level of the classroom quickly drops and your young students will lose interest. Keep your explanations brief and move on to the actual activity quickly. If a planned activity doesn't work, move on. Please keep a few extra activities up your sleeve just in case.
