Using subtitles may help to encourage my students and to make them familiar with different situations we are discussing or learning at that time. So I will try my best to secure their interest and attention by using subtitles.
I actually like this idea. Alot! I use subtitles in my own language to help understand what's being said, so why not other languages to help us both understand each other and it's just another learning component.
yes! as these help to cater pronunciation barriers.

- Can you share your experience how you teach students conditionals?
What kind of method do you use to explain clearly each conditional for students? Do you provide some examples from real life and how you do it? Thank you!
Best answer
The first thing to do when teaching conditionals would be to explain what conditionals are, then provide them with examples, then play a game where they need to identify the conditional, and finally have them create their own to see if they understood it
