Tips for Teachers: Interact Directly with Your Students in Class

Many teachers feel that they do not have time to interact directly with each of their students during class because they "have so much material to cover," or they want to be fair in their personal interactions with students.

It will certainly benefit the language development of the student with whom you interact directly.  Yet, all students will benefit by observing a teacher's (native speaker) direct interaction with a student.  So, do not be afraid to ask students direct questions, or give direct instructions to a certain student, or to act out a role play with a student in front of class (more on this in next week's tip), etc.
