Hola a todos. Estoy dando clases de español a niños entre 4 a 14 años, en Wisconsin, USA. Apesar de que no soy maestra, no he tenido problemas para dar mis clases. Pero con los estudiantes de 7mo y 8vo grado si he tenido bastantes problemas para lograr captar su atención. Yo entiendo que estan en la edad donde su unico objetivo es la risa y la diversión, pero al principio me frustre bastante por esto. Yo como estudiante que soy también de un segundo idioma (Inglés) los entiendo lo aburrido que puede llegar a ser aprender otro idioma. Son excelentes niños. Pero me gustaria la asesoria de personas con experiencia. Me gustaria consejos de como lograr captar la atención de ellos y de como hacer más divertidas mis clases. Gracias anticipadas por los consejos que me puedan brindar.

No puedo escribir todos esto, así Inglés es.

I did a fair amount of teaching English in Thailand recently to children with no English at all. The older ones were ok to teach in a standard way but the younger ones I found a couple of things work.

First, splitting the class into teams - mine split into 3 teams of about 8 each.

Then telling the class that they will get points for getting things right, and they will lose points for messing around, or not paying attention etc (they didn't lose points for getting things wrong, that's not good practice).

They then kept themselves in check, the teams didn't want to lose, and boys can be really competitive (as can girls, but the girls didn't mess around so much), and they sorted each other out at the mere threat of losing points.

The other thing I did was play lots of games, I had coloured fruit and animals, and coloured balls etc - then played running games, I had a basket ball and dustbin and used flash cards, when they got the card right they could throw the ball for a point.

I used the animals, laid themout and then had racing games to get the right animal (using the English name for the animal etc).

It was all about keeping it interesting and keeping the class moving - the last thing they wanted to do was be sat in their chairs.

There are lots of games online

Hope this helps.
