🔖✨ Reading Book Club – Session 1 Summary

🧑‍🎓 Book 🔤*Penny Ur’s 100 Teaching Tips*
🧩 Unit Covered 🔤 *Start with a Smile*

Hello dear colleagues 💫🙂
Today we held our first session of the Reading Book Club and explored Unit 1 – Start with a Smile.
Here is the summary of what we covered 👇💬

🙂 1) Start with a Smile – Main Takeaways

✅ A smile at the start of class says:
“I’m here because I *want* to teach you.” ❤️
🔹 A “neutral face” still sends a *negative* message—there is no true neutral in teaching. ☹️
✅ Some students won’t smile back—and that’s OK! The overall emotional tone still improves. ✌️
✅ Don’t smile *all the time*—overuse reduces impact. 😅
✅ Smiling at the end of the lesson helps students leave with positive energy. 🌈
✅ Non-verbal communication is subtle but powerful. 🧠✨

👀 2) Non-verbal Communication – What We Discussed

We explored how teachers constantly communicate through their face, eyes, hands, posture, distance, and movement**—even before they speak. 🎭

✨ **Important reminders 🔤

🔴 Warm, soft eye contact builds trust—not intense staring. 👁
🔘 Gentle gestures help students understand explanations more easily. 💅
⚫️ Your distance and posture influence class atmosphere—open posture = open learning.
🟡 Non-verbal cues are especially key with young learners and teens, who read emotions quickly.
🟣 Supportive body language creates safety; tense body language creates stress. 💬👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨
🔘 Non-verbal behavior doesn’t carry “50% of meaning,” but it *does* shape rapport and connection. 🧩

🧠 3) Practical Implications for English Teachers

✅ Start every lesson with smile + eye contact. 😊👀
✅ Be natural—use your smile intentionally, not automatically. 🙂
✅ Use body language as a teaching tool 🔤 nods, soft gestures, open hands. 👏
✅ Use facial expressions to guide understanding 🔤
— 👍 approval
— 🤔 thinking
— 😅 slight confusion → support
✔️ Students “read” your presence *before* your words. 🧠🔍

🗂 4️⃣ Mixed-Approach Teaching (TBL, TBLT & more)

We discussed how some teachers naturally blend 🔤

⭐️ Communicative tasks
⭐️ Non-communicative tasks
⭐️ Task-Based Learning
⭐️ Language-focused work

…and how modern classrooms often benefit from this hybrid approach.
The group shared experiences, and we compared what each method gives learners. 🎯

👀 5️⃣ First Activity We Explored — *Everybody Up*

This was the fun part! 🆗
We read the first activity in the book 🔤
Everybody Up — a mingling, movement-based task designed for real interaction.

✨ How it works 🔤

1️⃣ Students stand up and move to the center of the room. 😎
2️⃣ They form small groups (3–7 people).
3️⃣ They complete a communicative task (e.g., *find out who plays a musical instrument and why*). 🎤
4️⃣ Groups report their findings back to the class. 🗣️😀

✨ Why Harmer says it works 🔤

✅ It changes the physical space ➡️ energy rises
✅ It feels “real-life” and human
✅ Students talk about personal topics with meaning
✅ It creates a natural communicative atmosphere
✅ Movement = engagement + motivation

✨ Alternatives we discussed 🔤

🎨 Hobbies
⚽️ Sports
🗺 Places learners visit
😀 Favorite artists
🔖 Books they love

Anything with universal appeal works beautifully.

✨ Online Version 🔤

🖥 Breakout rooms + report back
💅 "Hands up" protocol for questions
💬 Works surprisingly well even online

⭐️ Final Message

Great communicative activities are not about labels — they’re about engagement.
Tonight’s session reminded us that when learners *move*, *talk*, *connect*, and *process deeply*,
that’s where real learning happens. 👀✨

🎙 Summary of Our Second Book Club Session

🔖 Jeremy Harmer’s 50 Communicative Activities

🎯 What we covered:

💬 Harmer’s purpose behind the book -moving beyond the communicative vs. non-communicative divide

🔄 The balance between communicative and non-communicative tasks in real classrooms

🧠 Deep Processing vs. Shallow Processing - the key to better retention

🔧 Hybrid teaching approaches - blending task-based learning and communication-focused activities

🕺 Activity 1: Everybody Up -Using movement and mingling to create natural communication

🔑 Final Takeaway:
Great communicative activities = Engagement, Movement, and Real Connection. ‍🤝‍✨
