Through fun English lessons you can stimulate your child’s interest in learning and improving their English. There are three types of lessons used generally: frontal, in group, and individual.
The frontal lesson is the one in which the teacher presents in front of the students the new information and the students usually pay attention to the teacher and ask questions after the lecture. The entire process is based on unidirectional speech and on presentation. It may not be seen as too much fun, but there is one type of frontal lesson that can be seen otherwise: the excursion.
A fun English lesson may be a vocabulary lesson about the animals, for example, at the local zoo; the teacher can give the name of each animal as well as a brief description of each of them, depending on the level of the class. To make it more fun, the teacher can organize a contest, in groups. At the end of the trip, each group should make a play-like representation of their favorite animal.
Or you might use a fun book as the basis of a fun English lesson. For example, you could use the popular book Funny English Errors and Insights: Illustrated. This book contains 301 examples of funny English mistakes, made by school students, newspapers, and even parents and teachers. You can read out one of the funny English errors to the class; if a student does not understand the humor in the mistake, then you or one of the student's classmate can explain the error to them. The child is more likely to remember the lesson when they realize and understand the joke.
The group lesson usually implies scientific circles or contest. They are recommended for advanced levels. An example of a fun lesson of this type is a play contest between groups where each group can select their own play or part of a play. Each group should create their own costumes and be as inventive as they can about the decor and the interpretation. You can also put on a certain theme like Halloween, Shakespeare, or even a TV series.
Another example is the court role play. This fun English lesson can be based on the characters of a book. A group of students may be on the pro side for the actions of the character; another may be on the contrary side; another may be the jury; and the judge is the teacher. The pro and contrary group will all elaborate their defenses and one or two of them may present and sustain their point of view. The jury will listen and offer a verdict. The entire lesson will be influenced by the judge. This type of application may be applied to literary masterpieces such as “Are Miss Havisham’s actions justified?” (in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens) or on movies or TV series.
Individual lessons cannot be supervised and so depend on the latitude of each student. You can only give advice or give fun material to work with so that it stimulates the child, like an interesting home spreadsheet to complete, where the actual process is like a game, for beginner levels, or interesting text to analyze for upper levels.
Fun English lessons can be done easily and the only requirements are that they should be innovative and that they stimulate the mind.
