Strategies for Helping Students Pay Attention

For every teacher, everyone wants to create an exciting class, helping students quickly
absorb the knowledge they impart. This always motivates the "boat drivers" to find
good, attractive and effective ways of teaching, helping students to enjoy each lesson.
.The following 5 ways are perfect for making extra lessons more interesting
● Use questions and games
The first minutes of a class play a very important role, which is decisive to the
quality of the whole lesson. If the teacher just started the lesson, it will be
really boring, causing students to lose interest. right away.
Instead, teachers can make students more interested and attentive with
prompting questions related to new lessons or suitable games. This is a way
that teachers can both stimulate students' interest and review previously learned
knowledge.
● Use stories and illustrations
In order for the lesson to be effective, there needs to be a reciprocal interaction
between the teacher and the students. If the teacher focuses on lecturing,
talking and talking continuously, and the students just listen and take notes, the
whole class will become boring.
Therefore, one of the best teaching methods that teachers can apply is to use
more stories and images related to the lesson content to help students feel new
and more interesting.
● Lecture in a funny way
Being serious in class is a necessity but being too serious will make students
feel suffocated and stressed. Therefore, creating a comfortable and fun
atmosphere in the classroom is what teachers need to focus on. Lecture in a
humorous way will make the lesson more effective. This is a teaching method
that should be applied regularly because a teacher with a sense of humor will
always be loved and closer to students than difficult teachers. Therefore, this
way of teaching also helps students and teachers connect closer together,
tightening the teacher-student relationship.
● Create group activities
Divided into groups to study and practice is a good teaching method applied by
many teachers. For students' psychology, when they exchange knowledge with
their peers, they will be very interested and enthusiastically contribute ideas.
Group activities help students to be creative, develop thinking, agile style and
especially help them better understand solidarity.

 Use cues or gestures to signal that something is important

This might involve raising your voice, repeating something with emphasis, and
writing the concept on the board or on a transparency. Sometimes it is helpful
to be very explicit, “pay attention to this; it is important.”
