How to Start Your First English Lesson: Breaking the Ice

The first lesson is a great opportunity to create a comfortable learning environment and help students feel at ease. A strong start can boost engagement and make English learning enjoyable from day one.


WARM-UP: LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

So, the first warm-up task is prepared in such a way so that you as a teacher will learn about your new students, whereas the second one is for your students to learn about you as their new teacher. We believe that it’s very important that students can also get to know their teachers. And, obviously, it’s perfect time for them to practise making questions and for you to check whether they are good at it.

In the first task, students have to take one card from a stack of cards and talk about the topic for about 30 seconds. After that time, other students (or you in the case of one-to-one classes) should ask some follow-up questions. In the second task, you have to write on the board some words and phrases connected with your job, personal life, hobbies, etc. Students need to ask questions connected with specific words on the board. So if you write chess on the board, students may ask: Do you like playing chess? If it is the right guess, you can tell them something more about this part of your life if you have some time.

 BRITISH CUISINE. 
WHAT DO BRITISH EAT?

Hello! When learning a language it is also important to learn about the culture of the country which the language is from.
Today will learn about traditional British cuisine, its cultural importance, and common dishes. 

If you ask fereigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably think of Fish & Chips and then stop. It is dissapointing, but true. There is no  tradition in England of eating in restaurants. However, most British meals are cooked at home, so finding a good English restaurant can be difficult. Instead, British cities are full of Indian, Chinese, French, and Italian restaurants, and London even offers Mexican, Greek, and Indonesian food.

Some believe this means Britain has no real cuisine, but that’s not quite true. Traditional dishes like Sunday Roast, Shepherd’s Pie, and Full English Breakfast are still popular.

Let's watch these videos and compare British cuisine with local dishes.


And now do the quiz.

Mach the name of the dish with the correct picture.


Watch this video and find out what British people like eating.
