In the first lesson it's very important to create rapport. Ask your students to present themselves and make them talk about their interests; this can be very useful later to keep them interested in your lessons. Also, you can play games with them like “pass the ball” or make them complete questionnaires and surveys so they get to know each other.
Before starting a lesson, remember to use warmers; for example, you can play hangman to make your students remember old vocabulary and to make them start thinking in English. If you have students that don’t want to participate in the class, you can use pair-work and controlled practice to make them use English in a safe environment. If your students have different levels of English, you can adapt the material so the beginners don’t feel frustrated and the advanced students don’t get bored.
If you have a large class, use a lot of pair work to maximize involvement, choral repetitions and name group leaders. This can help you to control the class.
