How can a student learn new vocabulary outside of class?
I encourage to keep an English dictionary handy, as as they read they look up words and their meanings, to better understand the text, the storyline and improve their vocabulary. What method do you use?

I like to check in with my students about how they’ve been since our last class. This not only gives us a chance to practice small talk but also allows me to tailor the session to their individual experiences. E.g. Before we jump into today’s lesson, how was your weekend?

It depends on the level but I always recommend FRIENDS sitcom to improve their speaking and listening
