Teaching English To Children

I had the opportunity to teach two kids last Monday. Tae Hyun and Tae Won, brothers aged 11 and 12. We will spend every Monday from 3pm for 1 and a half hour.

Last week I chose to share with with them a song by Louis Armstrong. I think the song is very good that kids like them could easily learn and understand what those beautiful lyric means. Their English ability is quite good for elementary school children. As you might guess, here is the song

What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
^And I think to myself, What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
^And I think to myself, What a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
^And I think to myself, What a wonderful world

I asked them to write down the lyric while I read it aloud. It was fun. Also talked about their ambitions and asked them to put it down in their own words so that we can talk about it this week.

Tomorrow I plan to talk about 5 W's and 1 H.

My name is Azman and I like to know more about Children and Television.
