I’m working on a new project teaching English to students 6-16 years old at a school in #gaya #bihar #India
This assignment will challenge me to manage classes of 40-60 students per classroom. Here's a list of subjects I will use to gauge the level of spoken English.
Follow me on IG - @englishwithzack and YouTube to see how I get on with this amazing project as I explore India, my cultural roots and locally spoken English. Join me on this educational and inspirational journey.

Focus on speaking.
What I'm teaching to gauge students speaking levels:
- Days of the week
- Months of the year
- Ordinal numbers
- Numbers 1-30
- Routine using present simple
- Verb phrases
- Past Simple - Regular verbs vs Irregular verbs
- Hangman - Word game
- Introduction to phonetics & symbols
- Important Dates & birthdays
- Telling the time
- Full sentences Q&A
- Vowel harmony. - The and (thee)
How I'm teaching
- Old school
- Handouts
- Drilling (Repetition)
- By example and being emphatic with my pronunciation
- Minimal tools
- Vocal warm ups
Why I'm teaching
I don't know about you, but I like a good challenge! I've never taught classes of this size. traditionally in UK Summer schools, classes are limited to 12-15 students of mixed nationalities.
I'll have to invent and develop new techniques to teach and manage such numbers. It should be fun and as an entertainer and musician, I think I will employ some other interesting performance strategies to deliver an interesting and interactive lesson.

NB. If you understand but you can’t speak English confidently, then you are my ideal student and I can definitely help you get speaking…
