For teaching kindergarten
aged students the poster sized story books are a great tool for attracting
attention. Colorful illustrations and a large fond are very helpful to get
you through the hour. You easily can spend up to 30 minutes telling a story,
pointing at the illustrations, explaining every page in English and still
keep in control of your classroom. For ESL beginners you should make sure
that the storybook has a lot of repetition throughout each story. This is
probably more important than simplicity of the language being used in that
particular piece of literature. First focus on teaching the repeating
features. You'll quickly notice that every time the class seems to break up
you can pull them back on track on any of those points. Then gradually add
more language each time you tell the story. Reading the story book before
class will give you more confidence while teaching. Reading from behind
upside down and dealing with a number of kids can be too demanding for many
teachers. Memorizing each story by heard will be much better than just being
a good reader. So you can make eye contact and observe how your students are
taking it in. You・ll get a better feel for what works and what doesn・t.

Product overview for this bookstore in Taipei

Educational English games!
Educational games for leisure are very useful when chosen accordingly the children's age. Also take some of your teaching time to do a proper introduction. First of all a new toy gets all the attention and if you show the kids the right way using those toys the pedagogic value will be enhanced. Don't show or give the toy to the children without getting at least one teaching lesson out of it. You can clown, you can jump or stand on your head after some time with the same kids there is nothing left they haven't seen yet. Introducing a toy in form of a lesson just gives it an additional value. The same applies to the books. How to pay for these books? English books are not cheap in Taipei! It is very difficult to buy cheap books in Taipei city. For example a Chinese book with 250 pages and color illustrations can be as cheap as 200NT$ but for the same topic, size and number of pages, you'll probably have to pay up to 800NT$. I recently reviewed two science teaching books for children; one was in Chinese the other in English, both had about the same number of color graphics in it and the same quality pages. The Chinese book cost 189NT$ and the English was 750NT$. Prices can vary and there is no real comparison between two different authors but generally speaking if you are looking for cheap English books in Taipei you probably have to buy them second hand. So if you want to use them at your work ask you employer to finance them. Don・t be shy! You・re doing the children a great favor bringing a very selective collection of child literature into the kindergarten. Parents will appreciate it and the teachers who take over when you・re going back home too. Because English books are expensive in Taiwan keep them in a book bag and protect the poster sized story books from the kids. They can last in a kindergarten classroom between 10minutes and 5 years.
