angel_christ Posted March 2, 2006 at 03:53 PM Posted March 2, 2006 at 03:53 PM I have a niece. She's my cousin's and she's going to be 11 year-old now. But her school doesn't have an appropriate English Teacher and she still can't count 11-100 in English or even the seven days and twelve months!!! I'm really worry about her now and her parents aren't well-educated too. They didn't finish high school. And they always come home late from working and no one is helping my niece!!! So I invited her to come and stay at my house on summer holidays and I will be teaching her lessons about essential things about English instead. Could you give me some advice to make the lesson enjoyable and help her to remember the knowledge accurately? Merci Beaucoup!!!!

gizapup Posted March 2, 2006 at 06:18 PM Posted March 2, 2006 at 06:18 PM (edited) Pictures, cartoons, and songs are just a few things you can use that come to mind. Kids memorize better when they see and hear things. Edited March 2, 2006 at 06:19 PM by neltado Quote
Lia Posted March 2, 2006 at 06:34 PM Posted March 2, 2006 at 06:34 PM read a lot of childrens book, then play some games.. like hide that written words in English and if she find it and ask if she/he still know what that words mean, then give her/ him a rewards like a sticker gold stars and let her/him put that in the refrigirators to remind her/him that they really do a pretty good job, learning every day...

Clari Posted March 3, 2006 at 02:57 AM Posted March 3, 2006 at 02:57 AM I agree with Neltado, songs and pictures are a good way. Make up puzzles and games on the computer using English words, put English labels/tags on things. Quote http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/CelineSmiles/hamster.gif CLARiSSA Xxx...

Célinefull Posted March 3, 2006 at 04:54 AM Posted March 3, 2006 at 04:54 AM It all depends on how she learns, is she visual or no? So you have to try a few things out, look around on the internet for some stuff you can giver her, exercises and games you can play. Also, you could ask your English teacher (assuming you have one?) If you s/he could possible give you some stuff for her to use. Quote http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7108/ziegfieldgirlbanner.jpg
