SEVERAL THINGS THAT WE MUST KNOW IN ENGLISH TEACHING

Children have different characteristics in learning like i said before. There are children who have strong will to learn English and children who do not have will to learn English. Children who have strong will to learn is good for us and easy to teach them. However, we must know several things when we teach them. AS teachers, there are several things when we teach them English.

The first thing is we must teach them from easiest things first. This is so important to us when we teach them. When we teach them about English, teach them step by step from easiest things. When we teach speaking, teach them some easy words which they can understand first just like car, door, father, mother, etc. After that, ask them to repeat what we have said to them. In writing, teach them to write some easy words or write down the easy words what we have said. If we do not teach them from easiest things first, children will get confused and can not understand what we have said and taught to them. It is because children brain can not get a lot of memories than the adults.

The next thing is we must teach them in good and positive ways. This also important to us in teaching process. In teaching process, we must teach them in good and positive ways. We must use good words in teaching. Teach them some words who have positive meanings and ask them to write down the words or repeat that. Do not teach in bad ways or negative ways. If we teach them with bad words and negative ways, the children will not feel comfortable in learning process and their will to learn will disappear. Worse, they will imitate bad words what we have said to them.

Finally, we must know those things in teaching process. We must teach them in good and positive ways, and from easiest things first. If we do that correctly, children will feel comfortable and happy in learning. We as a teacher will also feel comfortable and we can teach them happily. So, I suggest you all to teach children about English correctly. I suggest this because it will be good for us and for children.
