Отрывок из книги
Do you want to be a perfect teacher that would meet all the needs of your students and requirements of the school administration? I am sure you do. But perfection is hard to achieve. If you put too much effort into your work, you will soon burn out. This is a dead end. But there is another solution.
This book will give you “cheat codes” for being a GREAT teacher WITHOUT great efforts. You will learn how to make your teaching life more relaxed by using easy paths, tips, and shortcuts that I have learned in 20 years of teaching so that your students could achieve brilliant results.

Invite your students to introduce themselves with new names and explain their choice. Call them by these names during the whole lesson. You can start every lesson with asking how they feel: “Are you still the Black Wolf today?” – “No, I am a Flying Dragon because…”
Students introduce themselves and add one fact about their life. Every next student should first repeat the information and only then add a fact about his or her life. “This is my new friend Laura and she likes sausages. This is my new friend Paul and he can skate. This is my new friend Lucy and she’s got 5 sisters. And this is me, Mike, I am from Portugal”. In large classes you can first show how to play in a small group of students, and next all students will play in groups of 5—6.
