Teaching has begun! Nick and I had our first two classes today at Tiny Toones. We had not set up a lesson plan but Cobra gave us the book they were using and let us do our thing! Much easier and less stressful than I thought as the kids are eager to learn, respectful and at worst - just a little shy. We had to refresh our memory on the grammar rules but were able to form a lesson. The next class was very little kids, and a bit more of a challenge as they could not speak much english.
With them we went over some easy vocabulary (house, car, bag, doctor, student, teacher) and then played games such as pictionary and hangman. They are extremely attentive for such young kids and seemed to enjoy the games.
Yesterday night we observed the Youth School (25 minute drive) classes from 2 - 7:30pm (which was extremely tiring) and found that the kids are studying too many words and the classes should be broken down into simpler tasks.
