Creating an English Only Classroom

When teaching young learners English, it is important that they use the language as much as possible in class. It can not be expected that every student will speak English all the time, but here are some ways to encourage students to speak more in class: 

• Have a rewards system (stars, stickers, etc...)
  
• Always praise students when they do well
  
• Get parents involved
  
• Communicate expectations with co-teacher
  
• Make classroom rules clear
• Have strong student help weaker ones and act as monitors in class
