Top 5 Things to Do with 4+ Students in Your ESL Classroom

1. Ask the students to do activities in groups for example writing script and performing role plays related to the topics in class focusing on the target language.
2. Give students handouts with challenging tasks so they will spend more time trying to solve the tasks instead of making too much noise in classrooms.
3. Read aloud notes where students will refer to their copies and discuss each points in the notes one by one where possible. This method always keep the class well controlled and easy for teachers to monitor the students.
4. Ask students to write simple or short essays or write simple sentences related to the subject taught. 2 to 3 sentences are enough so teachers will have enough time to check the students sentences.
5. For each subject taught, pause and ask students to come up with some examples to keep the students on track.
