Ways to Learn Students’ Names
Alex Case
1. Descriptions This is the method I most often use- writing things by the side of the class list describing each person so that I can remember who is who.

15 Punishments for Pre-school English Classes
Alex Case
The difficulty of keeping control of 3-year-olds who haven’t learnt what working together means yet, or 5-year-olds who have learnt how much fun it is to change the words of every song and the pronunciation of every word, is difficult enough; but many of us teachers of English in kindergartens have to do so without […]

15 Variations on PPP
Alex Case
PPP (Present that language, do some controlled practice on that point, and then give students a production speaking and/ or writing task where they can use the same language) is in the strange situation of being rarely supported, especially in comparison with the Task Based Approach, but much used- again in comparison with TBA!
