Using Mother Tongue
The authors of 
Fly High
believe that English is best learned through English 
so we expect the teacher to use English as much as possible in the 
classroom.
Of course there are some instances where pupils will need explanation or 
clarification in their mother tongue. However we hope that you will try to 
resist the temptation to translate everything. Research has shown that pupils 
learn more effectively if they are encouraged to work out meaning for them­
selves.
Checking hom ework
Every experienced teacher has his/her own routine for how to correct 
homework. Here are some hints for inexperienced teachers.
How?
There are several ways of checking homework.
a Traditional method 
The teacher takes the children’s works and tries to 
correct every single mistake.
b Non-traditional method 
The teacher uses two coloured pencils or pens 
for checking.
Green colour 
- warning.
When a pupil makes a mistake for the first time, you underline it with the 
green pen. Here pupils should work on the mistake made.
Red colour 
- bad.
When a pupil makes the same mistake in many exercises you underline it 
with red pen. Here pupils should really work hard on the mistake made.
You can correct the mistakes yourself but it is better to give the pupils a 
chance to do it themselves. You can help your pupils correct their own 
mistakes by providing the following symbols in the margin:
Gr 
- grammar mistake
16

---

Sp 
- wrong spelling 
WO - word order mistake.
P 
- punctuation
c Self-checking method 
Pupils check their own work following a given 
model (for example the teacher asks pupils and writes the correct answers 
on the blackboard.)
