USING TOO MUCH MOTHER TONGUE


   In some classes students tend to revert to German when I turn my back. Alas, I still have not found THE perfect solution to this problem yet.. However, in some of my lessons I have introduced the ‘paper on the table’ method. Which simply means that if somebody in class is caught speaking German, the teacher will put a ball of crumpled paper on their desk. This ‘ball’ then moves on to other ‘culprits’’ desks during the lesson. The last one to have the ball at the end of the lesson will get an extra assignment to do at home. Believe me, it works wonders :-)
