Greet
A warm-greeting sets the tone of the
lesson. WHAT you say and HOW you say it
can make a big difference. Be aware of
your tone of voice, which should be
confident and cordial.

Example: “Hello! Good Afternoon.”

Check
 Check for any possible technical
problems (internet, speakers, microphone,
etc.). Briefly check if the line is clear.

Example: “Can you hear me clearly?”

“Is the sound OK?”
Introduce
 Introduction is necessary when meeting
people for the first time. In this case, a brief
introduction will do. It’s a chance to initiate a
connection and confirm how to address the
student properly throughout the lesson.

Example: “My name is _____. “

“Do you have an English name?”

“What’s your name?”
“ Is your name ______?”
Connect
 Connecting with our students is very
important. It not only creates a friendly
learning environment, but it also makes the
students feel at ease.

Example: “Is this your first online English lesson?”

“Since this is your first time, if there’s anything in

the lesson that’s not so CLEAR for you, please let
me know. Ok?”
Confirm (GOAL)
 Confirm the student’s language-learning
GOAL. It’s important to understand what
they want to achieve to give our lessons
better direction and to determine what
we can do to help them achieve their
main objective.

Example: “What’s your MAIN GOAL in

learning English?”
Confirm (Difficulties)
 Confirm the student’s difficulties in English
(mainly SPEAKING). There are different factors
that affect student’s ability to speak English
fluently. Awareness of their weaknesses can
help us guide them. Hence, we can focus on
improving those areas of improvement.

Example: “What are your difficulties in speaking

English?”
Suggest
 Students look forward to any advice that
they can get to improve their areas of
difficulty. Suggestions that are easy to
understand and implement can be
valuable information to students. Some
pieces of advice based on teaching
knowledge and experience can pique
student’s curiosity and make them want
to learn more.
Practice
 Practice allows us to check student’s
performance. It shows students WHAT and
HOW they can learn to improve their
English communication skills on both
ACCURACY & FLUENCY. This is where
textbooks / lesson materials come into
play. Remember to focus on their area of
difficulty and guide them along the way.
Recap & Reassure
 If time permits, a quick recap will be very helpful to
show students what they can learn in just a few
minutes of lesson with us. This part reassures
students how effective our lessons our in helping
them achieve their English-learning goal.

Example: “What useful words can you remember

from our lesson today?”

“What are the most important points from this

lesson?”
Ask
 To wrap it all up, we want to assure that the
students understand everything clearly. So, ask if
there are any inquiries or clarifications they’d like
to bring up. We also hand them the final decision,
by asking a question that would encourage them
to continue their English-learning journey with us.

Example: “Let’s continue to practice and improve

your English speaking skills on our next lesson. OK?”

“Let’s work on your fluency/pronunciation/vocab on

our next lesson. Alright?”
