Re: Teaching English as a Second Language firstly you have to use your body language,actions,ı mean direct actions,gestures,mimics,also classroom objects,realia,etc. instead of native language.
ıf you want to prevent translation,you have got to use only target language(in this case of course, english!) when they need to translate something,interrupt them and make them use their own body movements and actions!first show them how to do it,how to communicate by using mostly body with a little english,then they will get used to it! after they learn it,they will model you. finally they will be able to do it themselves. you will not believe how things developed!
it will be too hard for them at first,because you let them translate from the very beginning.
I hope you will handle the situation very soon. |
