Hello Everyone,
I am so happy I found this discussion board because I need some help! I have volunteered to teach an English class to a group of 3-5 year olds (from 1-5 kids depending on who is there for the lesson). They are Japanese and do not know any English. It will be once a week for 45 min. I have taught English in Japan but not with young children. I have experiece with kindergarteners but not teaching ESL. Where do I begin in developing a lesson (e.g What should be included in the lesson?)
Thank you very much for any replies.
