BEING
being-more-confident-as-an-esl-teacher
What do you do when your classes fall flat or don't go as planned? You have to be prepared with plan B, and sometimes that doesn't work either.
If you are having a bad lesson, know when to abandon your idea and move on. Always be honest with your students, and you can even elicit ideas and brainstorm with them.
