Welcome!
You might think routine is boring, but let’s explore how incorporating it in English classes can be beneficial. We’ll show you how to make routines interesting and effective for children.
What Is Routine in English Classes?
Rutyna obejmuje wszelkie powtarzające się czynności podczas każdej lekcji, takie jak powitania, pożegnania i ustrukturyzowane segmenty zajęć.
Why Consider Routine?
Routine can significantly impact learning progress. It provides a consistent framework for classes, which might look like this:
- Greeting
- Reviewing previous material
- Introducing a new topic
- Practicing new vocabulary
- Saying goodbye
Choosing the right forms—songs, rhymes, games—keeps these elements engaging. Children feel confident knowing the class structure while still experiencing new teaching methods and surprises.
Benefits of Routine
Time Management and Efficiency
Routine helps teachers manage class time better. Knowing how long activities take allows for better organization and adaptation to students’ needs. This reduces stress for both teachers and students.
Reinforcement Through Repetition
Routine often involves repetition, which is crucial for solidifying new information. Regularly revisiting vocabulary and language structures helps transfer knowledge to long-term memory.
Gradual Progression
Consistent practice through routine leads to gradual improvement in language skills. Over time, students become more fluent in speaking, reading, and writing.
Incorporating Routine Elements
Greeting: Cheers, rhymes, songs, gestures.
Reviewing previous material: Small talks, games, vocabulary cards.
Introducing new topics: Role-plays, drawings, puzzles, presentations, videos.
Practicing new vocabulary: Games, movement activities, consolidation tasks.
Goodbyes: Songs, cheers, passing the spark (circle activity).
Routine can be a solid foundation for English classes, providing structure while allowing for variety and novelty. Appreciate the benefits of a well-incorporated routine in teaching English as a foreign language.
