Play to your strengths
Everyone has their own way that they learn best.
Some of my students are very focused on memorising every bit of vocabulary they can,
Some of them love to sit and have conversations and feel how the language works naturally,
and Some learn their best when its snuck into games.
Lately one of my most invaluable tools in class has been a deck of cards, there are any number of games that can be played, from speed challenges, to games of chance, to memory tests.
if a student doesn`t want to work, the promise of a game at the end is a great motivator, and many of my students take the phrases from the games "do you have...?" "may I have...?" "where is the...?" and have become more confident using them in the classroom.
and that says nothing of their delight when they realise they have beat the teacher at a game, more than once lessons have ended with a group erupting into cheers when I have to admit defeat.
