Episode 74: 12 (or so) Ideas to Keep Fast Finishers Occupied

We all have them: those students who finish a task before everyone else.  How can you keep them engaged and occupied?  If you think the answer is doing an extra worksheet, you've come to the right place because that is DEFINITELY NOT on this list!  We can do better than that: give your students challenges; make them think; get them moving; give them room to breathe; all of the above. My challenge to you this week is to choose a couple of things from this list and try them out in your class.  Let me know how it goes. If you're wondering what happened to my next episode on reflection, it's coming soon, I promise!  If you liked this episode, try this freebie.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Everything EFL, a podcast about language teaching. I love sharing my knowledge of stuff I've learnt and the things I do in class. I also like branching out and discovering other teachy stuff that can apply to other kinds of teachers – after all, we all want to achieve the same things, don’t we? I do this podcast to give you some practical ideas and food for thought. I also have guests who know much more than me. It's a learning experience all round! Subscribe on Apple or Spotify (or wherever) and if you could leave a 5-star review, you will have my undying gratitude. Enjoy.
