In this video I’m breaking down exactly how I use modeling in my ESL classroom, because modeling is one of those “simple” teaching tools that can seriously change your whole lesson flow. When students can see what you want (instead of just hearing you explain it), they feel less stressed, they participate faster, and you spend way less time repeating directions. I walk you through how I set up the model first, what I say, and how I make it super obvious what the student’s job is. I also share little tips and tricks that help the modeling actually land—like keeping the model short, using clear gestures, and showing a correct example before you let the student try. If you’re teaching online (especially ESL), modeling is basically your best friend for classroom management and confidence-building. And if you’re working on getting hired with platforms like Outschool, Palfish, or VIPKID, this is one of those skills that makes you look way more “teacher ready” in demos and interviews.
