Teacher Caren - After School English Class

At Dasi Elementary School, my co-teacher and I run afterschool English classes for students in Grades 2 to 5. Classes are held once a week for each grade from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m., with a ten-minute break. Each session combines phonics practice and storytelling reinforced with games, outdoor activities and interactive exercises. Our goal is to provide students with additional English exposure, build confidence, and make learning the language fun and meaningful.

See how our activities make learning English both fun and effective for students!

Peer Practice

Students are assigned the same story or phonics lesson to learn. After practicing, they read to the teacher for accuracy, then help classmates who are still working on their task. This allows faster learners to stay engaged while supporting their peers.

Role Play Activities

Students act out scenarios from stories, daily routines or real-life situations. This allows them to use English naturally, practice speaking, and develop confidence in communication.

Outdoor Learning

Sometimes we take learning outside. After introducing vocabulary or phonics, students use leaves, sticks, stones, or other materials to complete specific tasks, such as spelling words. This approach allows them to learn while playing and moving.

Read Aloud

The class votes on a story to read together. We practice vocabulary and pronunciation before reading the story aloud. Students take turns reading in teams, such as boys versus girls, to provide multiple opportunities for oral practice.

Interactive Games and Activities

We also use interactive tools such as PowerPoint activities, Bamboozle, Kahoot and other online games. These activities make learning English fun, engaging, and meaningful.

These after-school English classes provide students with additional exposure to English and more opportunities to practice speaking, reading, and listening. I believe they are an important part of helping students build confidence, develop language skills and enjoy learning English in a supportive environment.
