EF English First Changsha

EF Changsha Production Routines 

Before Class

1.  Plan full and balanced lessons which do not rely on any one resource too much:

a)  No coloring (unless it’s part of a dictation or matching exercise).b)  No video clips longer than five minutes.

c)  No “free talk” or “discussion” longer than five minutes.

d)  Don’t do more than two rounds of any game, drill, or activity without increasing the difficulty.

2.  Plan one new activity for each and every class. You should be learning along with your students.

3.  Print handouts and quizzes well ahead of time. Check your materials and classroom ten minutes before class

begins.

4.  Remind incoming students to drink water, use the restroom, and finish their homework before class begins.

5.  Review your lesson plan with your TA and/or co-teacher.

During Class

1.  If students arrive late, give them a penalty. They could answer three questions or describe an object in five

sentences.

2.  Do not speak Chinese to students. Instead, use a variety on input  – body language, visual aids, and spoken and

written English to get your point across.

3.  Don’t respond to Chinese input from students.

4.  If a student is repeatedly disruptive, either have your TA take him or her aside or call me.

5.  If a student curses or is violent towards you or another student, inform their parents at the break or after class.

Before Breaks / End of Class

1.  Students should help tidy up the classroom. Give them one or two minutes to do this.

2.  Students place completed homework on their desks. Students who have not completed their homework must do

so before being allowed to leave for break time.

3.  Students sit quietly while you call them to line up one-by-one. Ask each student one review question before

allowing them to leave the classroom. 

4.  If discipline during breaks is an issue for your group, play a movie during break times.

5.  If a student is unruly, disruptive, or harms school property during break times, inform their parents after class.

During Breaks / After Class

1.  Speak to as many parents as possible. Be proactive sharing both good news and bad.

2.  Update ODIN with homework, attendance, and other required fields. EF英孚教育长沙学校
