Eight Strategies to Compensate for Accent
- Clearly state the purpose of the lesson.
- Put an outline on the board and refer to it throughout the lesson.
- "This is what we are doing today"
- "First..."
- "Then..."
- "Finally..."
- Make clear transitions between parts of the lesson.
- "First," "next," "finally..."
- "Now that we’ve talked about________, let’s move onto______."
- "OK. That’s the theory, now let’s take a look at__________."
- Pause before and after important information.
- Use signal words to emphasize important information.
- "The crucial thing to remember is …."
- "OK, now this is important …."
- "This is a bit tricky, so pay attention…."
- Paraphrase important information. In
other words, say it more than one way.
-
Streeeeetch the vooooowels in impooooooooortant words
-
Frequently check student understanding by involving students in the lesson.
- "Who can tell me the next step?"
- "What number can I plug in here?"
- "Can someone give me an example?"
