Lesson 12: teaching speaking in primary level pupils: monologue and dialogue questions to be discussed

4. Enthusiasm - Your enthusiasm is infectious. If you love your subject and your job, you’ll be able to engage the people you teach.

How to develop it:

• 
  It’s hard to fake enthusiasm, so aim to teach a subject you love.
  
• 
  If you have to do something boring, turn it into something you can be enthusiastic about – make a game of data entry, or write poems to help you memorise facts.
  
• 
  In your studies, look for ways you can go above and beyond. Read books that aren’t on the reading list, take on extra projects, and show that you love what you do.
