Teaching English to Beginners with Chris Westergaard - Demo Video (A1) Seasons

I've got a new demonstration video with a group of A1 (beginner) students. This was obviously shot in Prague where I'm located.

You'll see this in the video that things start off a bit slow and there are some bumpy sections. I had to constantly control for L1 and use a lot of behavioural techniques to get them to do what I wanted. Check out the video below. I've included a bunch of tips regarding beginner methodology in the video. I really do love this level because it requires absolutely pure teaching techniques. Take a look! Let me know your thoughts!

A Day in the Life of an English Teacher in Prague

What's it like to teach English in Prague? I've probably been asked this question nearly a hundred times over the last 15 years. To give you a feel of the daily day to day life, we shot a video with a couple of graduates of The Language House TEFL . Take a look below and follow both of them on a typical day in this beautiful city.  No two English teachers have the same kind of work or schedule. There's so much variety between all of our graduates and we really help our teachers find a job and schedule that works best for them. I hope you like the video!
