This is a good idea @milakz

I am all for it. I have been trying to create some materials for @daytona475 (life has been getting in the way, though). I once ran a class in Cherkasy, Ukraine, and I would introduce a few phrases to the students, and they would repeat the words back three times. They would repeat these phrases to the student beside them, and then that student would give a suitable reply. As an example, the leading question would be "What did you have for breakfast?" and the responder would answer from a list of food and drink I had prepared beforehand. "I had eggs and a glass of juice." The responder then became the questioner for the next person. Everyone heard and repeated the phrases multiple times (modelling), reproduced the words to the person beside them (guided exercise) and then encouraged to practice afterwards while in class (Reinforcement).

I have yet to give a video course but do you think that this format will work @ftz?

I suppose we could include Total Physical Response (TPR) techniques. You can see it illustrated in this example, teaching the words look, listen, good job, and why.

I can start looking up Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques to improve outcomes.

I think the format that you are talking about, it is targeting the beginners, right? If it is so, then yes it's a good idea.

Another thing, different people have different way of learning. Some people can learn easily from visuals while others learn easily by listening. So depending on the language level of students and their way of learning, any suitable method can be applied.

I am open to any suggestions. It has been years since I have taught anyone, and I have never conducted courses by video conferencing.

I am sure you will be successful✌✌. We can chat on Discord to organise with more details. I think we can invite all participants of @ftz contest. Maybe the only difficulty is time zones

It's really great that you are going to conduct a video conference on English @dwarrilow2002.

For that I think, you can first introduce your methods of teaching to the participants of that class. After that based on the compatibility you can apply any of those techniques that you mentioned earlier.

I think guided exercise is good in the beginning as they will know how to pronounce it and then reinforcement will make it easier. Again it will depend on the participants English level, Language goals and so on.

I am so happy for your decision to arrange such Kind of workshop to help people with their English. I wish you good luck.

Thank you.
