How to Help Your Students Use Classroom Language
1. Key Vocabulary Items for Your Classroom
Each classroom is different, so spend some time thinking of the important words you want your students to know.
Supplies: desk, book, paper, pen, pencil, notebook, binder, syllabus, iPad, marker
Rules: Imperative grammar, don’t, should, must, can, can’t
People: Student, teacher, classmates, principal, director
Classroom: clock, board, computer, calendar, poster
Requests: question formation, bathroom, water, feeling sick
Respectful words: please, thank you
2. Dialogues and Role Plays
A great way to introduce or review these words is to practice them in dialogues accompanied by pictures.
3. I-Spy
Another great activity for lower-level students to review the tangible items in the room is the classic game I-Spy.
4. Describe My Part of the Classroom
Have students in groups separate into different parts of the room.
5. Preview Their Knowledge First
If you’re unsure of your students’ levels, it’s best to let them show you first what they already know so you don’t have to waste time repeating information.
6. Practice, Practice, Practice
Use the words as often as possible and in as many ways as possible.
7. Fluency Games
Another extremely important factor to consider is making students feel very comfortable with using this practical vocabulary.
