Good article for #eltchat - learning and pronouncing learners' names is a good start! https://t.co/ew91q78n1c |

A good way to build rapport is to show genuine interest #ELTchat |

Agree.. interest for them as whole persons.. not only as students. #eltchat https://t.co/qdY4fW7osC |

Hello everyone - sorry to be late :-) Welcome to #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-09-28T18:09:46 |
I suppose it could be hard to build rapport immediately in a large classroom. What are your tips? #ELTchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-09-28T18:09:59 |
@MConca16 Yes, definitely - helps you and their classmates learn them in the first few lessons too #ELTchat |

I agree with Sue, Listening to Ss talking about what they're interested in. #ELTchat |

@GlenysHanson and finding out what they want and need #ELTchat |
| angelos_bollas |
2016-09-28T18:11:59 |
Many get-to-know-us activities, a lot of group work.. For me, big groups are easier to build rapport with #ELTchat https://t.co/tQoKk6KtFK |
| Marisa_C |
2016-09-28T18:12:45 |
Most books include some 'getting to know you's now but finding out what topics REALLY interest them is key #ELTchat - Q-aires/ surveys etc |
| SueAnnan |
2016-09-28T18:12:47 |
@angelos_bollas I tend to work with smaller groups. We have a maximum of 9 sts per class #ELTchat |
| MConca16 |
2016-09-28T18:12:48 |
@SueAnnan How about pre-course chats? #eltchat |

@SueAnnan in Greece we usually have 8max (do not like it tho) #eltchat |

I did Venn diagrams with my teens to get them to see their similarities/differences. Not only teacher who needs to build rapport #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-09-28T18:14:47 |
I always find out why: they need Eng, chose to come to the island, and what they plan to use their lang. for #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-09-28T18:15:39 |
@angelos_bollas I don't mind. Easier to get to grips with them as individuals. #ELTchat |

2016-09-28T18:18:24 |
@AlexanderLDiaz building rapport with new classes - welcome :-) #eltchat (remember to rype hashtag every time |
| AlexanderLDiaz |
2016-09-28T18:18:55 |
@Marisa_C Great! So relatable #ELTChat |

2016-09-28T18:19:01 |
we have done #eltchat s on buildind rapport in the past - here is one https://t.co/J1FDaQtM4o |
| SueAnnan |
2016-09-28T18:19:29 |
@GlenysHanson I usually get them to interview each other and then feed info back to the others #ELTchat |
| jonjoTESOL |
2016-09-28T18:20:19 |
@Marisa_C I'm not used to the website - was last weeks chat summarised? #eltchat |
| AlexanderLDiaz |
2016-09-28T18:20:38 |
I usually have a warm up the first day that helps Ss get to know each other, after they've shared, I try to share too #ELTChat |
| GlenysHanson |
2016-09-28T18:20:46 |
@SueAnnan That usually works well as an ice-breaker. #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-09-28T18:21:30 |
@GlenysHanson Yes. And my sts are multinational so it encourages LOTS of language #ELTchat |
| AlexanderLDiaz |
2016-09-28T18:21:59 |
I also ask students to suggest funny ways in which I can remember their names. Gestures or so. Some Ss provide theirs, others dont #ELTchat |
| MConca16 |
2016-09-28T18:22:04 |
#eltchat I also make notes about each student/class.It's hard work but it's worth it |

@angelos_bollas That's a great idea. Ss perceive that as a genuine caring attitude #eltchat |

One activity I do is get Ss to form groups/tribes that THEY name - eg. The Clever Six - rapport amongs Ss also key #eltchat |
| AlexanderLDiaz |
2016-09-28T18:24:39 |
@angelos_bollas Why is it easier for you to build rapport with larger groups? #ELTChat. #justasking |
| Marisa_C |
2016-09-28T18:25:41 |
@AlexanderLDiaz @angelos_bollas I agree with Angelos - for me too - I can do lots of fun high energy activities or games; #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-09-28T18:26:16 |
smaller groups usually low evergy and less easy to get them into a fun mood #ELTchat |

It's sometimes difficult to get Ss (especially adult in my exp) to do rapport games because they aren't straight forward learning #eltchat |

@angelos_bollas In Dublin - hello #ELTchat |

@fionaljp @angelos_bollas Hi Fi #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-09-28T18:27:02 |
@jonjoTESOL might be a good idea to choose games with a clear and shareable language aim #eltchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-09-28T18:27:14 |
@jonjoTESOL But you can make ice-breakers a learning exp at the same time #ELTchat |
| AlexanderLDiaz |
2016-09-28T18:27:56 |
@Marisa_C @angelos_bollas Nice! There are a lot of games for large groups. I usually handle 30 Ss, if that's considered large. #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-09-28T18:28:01 |

| jonjoTESOL |
2016-09-28T18:28:06 |
.@TeresaBestwick true - you don't have to convince me. Adult learners who do these games semi-regularly get bored with them. #eltchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-09-28T18:28:18 |
@carolread shared this article the other day https://t.co/S1ZuK5iep5 #ELTchat |
| AlexanderLDiaz |
2016-09-28T18:28:33 |
@TeresaBestwick Great idea too! I think that also lets people feel a bit more relaxed to share and speak. #ELTchat |
| GlenysHanson |
2016-09-28T18:29:05 |
@jonjoTESOL I agree. I mainly did games, etc with teens. With adults, the lower I kept my profile, the more talkative they were.#ELTchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-09-28T18:29:07 |
@jonjoTESOL Yeah, I guess it can seem like the bog-standard first-day lesson! #ELTchat |
| angelos_bollas |
2016-09-28T18:29:41 |

@GlenysHanson A classic language learning technique - "teach yourself students whilst I pretend not to listen!" #eltchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-09-28T18:30:16 |
I find that communicating from the outset helps my adults bond. The trick is to personalise the learning so it feels beneficial #ELTchat |
| GlenysHanson |
2016-09-28T18:37:21 |
Who has a problem creating rapport? I didn't really except for controlling loudmouths talking all the time & not listen to others.#ELTchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-09-28T18:37:22 |
Can anyone remember who blogged about icebreakers being a waste of time recently? I remember it flashing up on my feed... #ELTchat |

@SueAnnan What's a slow burn? #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-09-28T18:43:35 |
I think a good relationship is not too hard for sb, a T with good communication skills. #ELTchat but rapport within groups also important |

I always recommend "Classroom Dynamics" by @jillhadfield #ELTchat. Loads of great activities for all sorts of language aims |
| GlenysHanson |

After experimenting with others, my colleagues & I always used the same 3/4 icebreakers. All the groups starting that day together. #ELTchat |
