an online English learning platform for children, we have carried out a study analysing the best study techniques for learning English online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChildren learn naturally through play, movement and repetition. Tools such as flashcards and phonics help them to see and understand new words, whilst the total physical response (TPR) method and games keep them active and focused, which is particularly important in online lessons. At the same time, practising everyday conversation gives children the opportunity to use English in real-life situations, which helps them gain confidence,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">says Ali Sulivan, English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher at Novakid, who highlights the major transformation that English learning for children has undergone in recent years, driven above all by digitalisation, global access to content and the emergence of new educational methodologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas English lessons, both face-to-face and online, used to typically follow a rigid structure, today the opposite is true: they are based on a dynamic process that combines multiple approaches, tools, teaching styles and techniques.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proliferation of multiple alternatives in English teaching is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it broadens the possibilities and allows for the design of more efficient learning experiences tailored to each student; on the other, however, it has led to a virtually unlimited range of resources and methodologies that do not all have the same impact or contribute equally to children\u2019s actual language development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is precisely here that a key question arises for parents, teachers and, in general, the entire educational community: Which teaching methods really work?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To answer this question and identify which teaching techniques are most effective for learning English, we at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Novakid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014an online English learning platform for children aged 4 to 12\u2014have launched a study to measure the actual impact of the various methodologies used by teachers during their online lessons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_2be01fef22ad66423df7941f6c811b37\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-teacher-preparing-her-online-class-and-planning-the-techniques-she-will-use-to-teach.png\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-teacher-preparing-her-online-class-and-planning-the-techniques-she-will-use-to-teach.png\" alt=\"An English teacher preparing her online class and planning the techniques she will use to teach\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-teacher-preparing-her-online-class-and-planning-the-techniques-she-will-use-to-teach-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-teacher-preparing-her-online-class-and-planning-the-techniques-she-will-use-to-teach-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-teacher-preparing-her-online-class-and-planning-the-techniques-she-will-use-to-teach.png 949w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_4f701676fdee9a1efcbf5f2535c9e032\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_4f701676fdee9a1efcbf5f2535c9e032\">\n                What Teaching Methods Do Teachers Use in Their Online English Lessons?\u00a0            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study from which we present the data below was conducted via an online survey of more than 130 English teachers from around the world who teach 100% online at Novakid and therefore have extensive experience in teaching English to children in digital environments. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe need to remember that teaching online, especially in one-to-one classes, is different from face-to-face group classes. Take time to get to know your student because the more you understand what they like and how they learn, the more they will respond to you and your teaching,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says Sulivan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The survey comprised a total of 16 questions focused on assessing the effectiveness of 15 specific teaching techniques, as well as an open-ended question designed to gather additional insights into emerging methods or practices not initially covered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other studies that focus on general educational models, this analysis focuses on specific techniques that teachers use in their day-to-day work: from repetition and the use of flashcards to storytelling, interactive games and conversation practice. The aim is to understand not only which methods are used, but also which ones have the greatest impact on students\u2019 learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results are presented in three main sections that follow the basic process of learning any language.<\/span><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_96c9bbbc82faa5af6ae04d77d0b9f3c4\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_96c9bbbc82faa5af6ae04d77d0b9f3c4\">\n                The Foundations of Learning: Repetition, Structure and Visual Aids            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <h3><b>Repetition to Master English<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first technique addressed in this study has, for decades, been one of the most widely used in language teaching. However, in an educational context increasingly focused on innovation, this practice has been called into question by certain approaches that prioritise spontaneity or organic learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, the data obtained in our study show that 96.2% of the teachers surveyed consider repetition a highly effective technique for teaching English to children, though always from a creative perspective and taking into account students\u2019 needs and abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This finding reinforces the idea that language automation \u2014 that is, the ability to use structures naturally \u2014 necessarily requires repeated practice and, far from being an obsolete technique, repetition in English is a key element in language consolidation, enabling students to internalise complete structures and apply them in different contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Phonics: the Foundation of Reading and Pronunciation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For 98.5% of those surveyed, phonics is an effective technique that plays a key role in the early stages of learning English.The link between sounds and spellings not only makes reading easier, but also has a direct impact on pronunciation and the learner\u2019s confidence when speaking.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cPhonics is great for beginners who are learning sounds and reading, but not as useful for children who already know basic English,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says Sulivan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPhonics-based instruction is a very important step in reading, but older learners find it embarrassing to say the sounds of the letters loudly,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adds Rogen Garc\u00eda, English teacher at Novakid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Flashcards and Visual Aids: Learning Through Images<\/b><\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_0730f27e1865fe6852a748ca76cb5ec2\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen.png\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen.png\" alt=\"An English lesson via video call between a teacher and a student, with a comic they are reading together displayed on the screen\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1080x720.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen.png 2048w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_1624855f97ad9e188df7660e6e1d6836\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of visual aids remains one of the most powerful tools in early childhood education. Flashcards, both digital and physical, together with other visual elements, enable concepts to be linked quickly and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only 4.4% of the teachers surveyed consider this technique to be unhelpful, noting that its effectiveness depends largely on the student\u2019s level or learning profile, that is, their visual intelligence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This figure reflects a shift in the use of visual resources, where the key is no longer so much the tool itself, but how it adapts to the student\u2019s needs and the digital context. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key factor is keeping children interested and engaged during the lesson. Things like visuals or props help grab their attention and make learning feel fun. It is also important to keep everything simple and clear, so children know what to do. When lessons are fun and easy to follow, children stay focused, participate more, and remember what they learn<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, says Sullivan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For his part, Garc\u00eda recommends using apps such as Anki and Quizlet to promote active recall and spaced repetition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Worksheets to Reinforce What Has Been Learnt<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the techniques most highly rated by teachers is the use of interactive worksheets\u00a0 which, as Garc\u00eda explains, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work better online because the student is in sync with the teacher<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d. This approach allows students to practise vocabulary, grammar and sentence structures in an interactive way, complete exercises in real time and receive immediate feedback from the teacher, reinforcing what has been learnt in class in a dynamic and motivating way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the study, 97.8% of teachers consider this technique to be highly effective, highlighting its ability to hold students\u2019 attention, consolidate content and complement other methodologies within the online classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_b2352810adf7e83eacdf9205cfa8b4c3\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_b2352810adf7e83eacdf9205cfa8b4c3\">\n                The English Consolidation Phase: How to Motivate Students and Capture their Attention            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the student has mastered the basics of the language (the main verb tenses, essential vocabulary such as family or food, etc.), it is essential to focus on keeping them motivated so that they continue to make progress in their learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To this end, we move from more functional methods to more dynamic approaches, in which the student revises whilst incorporating new knowledge and consolidating what they have learnt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Songs and Rhymes\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have a student, a 9-year-old boy who likes talking but never reading.

However, their perspectives also introduce an important caveat: its impact depends largely on the age and profile of the learner. While these techniques are particularly beneficial for younger students\u2014especially for improving pronunciation, rhythm, and memorisation\u2014their effectiveness may decrease with older students if they are not combined with a more active approach. In such cases, some teachers note that students may simply listen to the songs without fully understanding their meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The true value of these tools lies not in their isolated use, but in how they are integrated into the classroom. Without follow-up questions, practical activities or interactive exercises that encourage participation, songs can become a passive element, losing their potential as a learning tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Storytelling: Stories and Tales as a Learning Tool<\/b><\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_a1828dffdec5e5f866c0bcf4ad3fb3bf\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1.png\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1.png\" alt=\"An English lesson via video call between a teacher and a student, with a comic they are reading together displayed on the screen\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1-768x502.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/An-English-lesson-via-video-call-between-a-teacher-and-a-student-with-a-comic-they-are-reading-together-displayed-on-the-screen-1.png 968w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_104edd6a61387ba01e5628803e306edd\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storytelling and the use of storybooks are establishing themselves as another key technique, particularly for developing vocabulary, reading comprehension and oral expression. Most teachers consider this technique to be effective, but 12.8% note that it does not always work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effectiveness depends on the student\u2019s level of English, their ability to interpret images and their familiarity with reading. Some teachers point out that students with limited vocabulary may feel confused if the text content or illustrations are not supported by clear explanations, prior vocabulary teaching and guided questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, when properly adapted to the students\u2019 level, storytelling increases exposure to written English, encourages the acquisition of new vocabulary and helps develop independent comprehension skills, effectively complementing oral production in class.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Gamification in the Classroom: Interactive Online Games<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOnline games are always popular and work well under all conditions, whether it\u2019s online, in a classroom, or no matter the class size and age of the learners,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">says Garcia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The incorporation of interactive games into the online classroom has proven to be one of the most effective strategies for maintaining students\u2019 attention. In a digital environment where distractions are constant, the playful element becomes a key ally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only 2.3% of the teachers surveyed believe that interactive games are not an effective technique. The vast majority agree that this type of activity not only works but also represents one of the students\u2019 favourite moments in any online class, although, as Sulivan points out: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOnline games are fun and helpful, but they work best in small classes where every student can join in\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Micro-content: the Rise of Short TikTok-style Videos<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results show a clear consensus among teachers, with 89.5% of respondents considering them an effective tool for learning English. This type of content, which is in line with children\u2019s digital habits, facilitates the understanding of vocabulary and situations through dynamic and contextual visual stimuli.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, respondents state that their effectiveness depends largely on how they are used in the classroom. Some teachers warn that excessive use can cause distractions or cause students to lose focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, recent findings from the American Psychological Association warn of a phenomenon known as \u2018brain rot\u2019, linked to the excessive consumption of short-form video (SFV) content on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. The study <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/fulltext\/2026-89350-001.pdf\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFeeds, Feelings, and Focus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Examining the Cognitive and Mental Health Correlates of Short-Form Video Use\u201d<\/span><\/i> <\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analysed data from 98,299 participants across 71 studies and found that the more of these videos people watched, the poorer their cognitive performance in areas such as attention and inhibitory control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this reason, Novakid teachers recommend using these clips as supporting tools within a structured lesson, alongside guided activities that help consolidate learning and keep the student focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Learning Through the Body: The Impact of Total Physical Response (TPR)<\/b><\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_9404876679ec20d3be89b01b575701b3\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-child-sitting-in-front-of-a-computer-touching-his-head-with-the-words-\u2018Simon-Says-touch-your-head-written-on-it-illustrating-the-methodol-TPR.png\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-child-sitting-in-front-of-a-computer-touching-his-head-with-the-words-\u2018Simon-Says-touch-your-head-written-on-it-illustrating-the-methodol-TPR.png\" alt=\"A child sitting in front of a computer, touching his head, with the words \u2018Simon Says: touch your head\u2019 written on it, illustrating the methodol TPR\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-child-sitting-in-front-of-a-computer-touching-his-head-with-the-words-\u2018Simon-Says-touch-your-head-written-on-it-illustrating-the-methodol-TPR-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-child-sitting-in-front-of-a-computer-touching-his-head-with-the-words-\u2018Simon-Says-touch-your-head-written-on-it-illustrating-the-methodol-TPR-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-child-sitting-in-front-of-a-computer-touching-his-head-with-the-words-\u2018Simon-Says-touch-your-head-written-on-it-illustrating-the-methodol-TPR.png 965w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_21001964dea185257d9908546cbb24ed\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/total-physical-response-online-classes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TPR (Total Physical Response) method<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is based on the link between language and action, enabling students to understand and remember the content more effectively.

In this regard, both conversation practice and role-play are considered two of the most effective techniques for developing students\u2019 speaking skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Conversation and Role-Play: Key to Putting Language into Practice<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the one hand, 96.3% of the teachers surveyed believe that daily conversation practice is highly effective, which reinforces the idea that a language is learnt by using it in real-life contexts. On the other hand, role-play allows children to simulate everyday situations in a safe environment, fostering confidence and the practical application of language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is particularly interesting that 9.8% of respondents do not consider role-play to be effective. The reasons cited mainly relate to the difficulty of implementing it at early stages. Some teachers point out that, when students have limited command of the language, they may not understand the instructions for the exercise, which causes confusion and reduces its educational impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, for students with lower reading skills, this type of activity can slow down the pace of the class, as time is spent trying to understand the activity rather than practising the language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where teachers do seem to agree is on the effectiveness of guided listening activities; 97% consider them essential and highly effective for familiarising students with the pronunciation, intonation and rhythm of the language.<\/span><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_024aef429bdc0888674a4f9212fc7d20\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-picture-of-six-English-teachers-from-different-countries-and-with-different-features-a-collage-representing-Novakid-teachers-from-all-over-the-world.png\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-picture-of-six-English-teachers-from-different-countries-and-with-different-features-a-collage-representing-Novakid-teachers-from-all-over-the-world.png\" alt=\"A picture of six English teachers from different countries and with different features: a collage representing Novakid teachers from all over the world\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-picture-of-six-English-teachers-from-different-countries-and-with-different-features-a-collage-representing-Novakid-teachers-from-all-over-the-world-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-picture-of-six-English-teachers-from-different-countries-and-with-different-features-a-collage-representing-Novakid-teachers-from-all-over-the-world-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-picture-of-six-English-teachers-from-different-countries-and-with-different-features-a-collage-representing-Novakid-teachers-from-all-over-the-world-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-picture-of-six-English-teachers-from-different-countries-and-with-different-features-a-collage-representing-Novakid-teachers-from-all-over-the-world-1080x720.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A-picture-of-six-English-teachers-from-different-countries-and-with-different-features-a-collage-representing-Novakid-teachers-from-all-over-the-world.png 1344w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_06984e92189bb6e84e4627ff3fa5b4b2\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_06984e92189bb6e84e4627ff3fa5b4b2\">\n                Exploring New Teaching Techniques with Our Novakid Teachers             <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/homework-ai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">short homework assignments to be reviewed in the next lesson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, involving parents in daily practice, business English for more advanced levels, self-correction of mistakes\u2026 These are some of the responses teachers gave to the final question in the survey which, as mentioned at the start of the article, invited them to share techniques they consider relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne activity that works well in my 1-on-1 classes is show-and-tell using things from their own rooms.

The students are always excited to share, which makes them more confident and willing to talk<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d,\u00a0 says Sullivan, adding that the effectiveness of a technique depends largely on the student\u2019s profile, age, level of English and learning style, and that effective online English learning is built on the combination and adaptation of multiple techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u201c<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some methods work better online, while others work better in-person because of the different ways students can interact with the teacher and materials. For example, short videos online can be paused or replayed to help students understand at their own pace, and interactive worksheets let them click or type, which is more engaging than paper worksheets. On the other hand, in-person classes are better for TPR and hands-on activities, like acting out verbs or using real objects, because students can move around and physically interact with materials\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, it\u2019s also important to realise that it\u2019s all a matter of trial and error, and that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe more you teach, the easier it becomes to see which methods work best for each child<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, says Sullivan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building on this, Garc\u00eda offers practical advice for teachers new to online English teaching for children. Drawing on his experience with repetition, games, storytelling, and everyday conversation practice, he stresses the importance of preparation and adaptability. He recommends having extra props that are not only visually engaging but also directly relevant to the topic, and carefully reviewing lesson slides in advance to anticipate potential difficulties\u2014such as sentence production after grammar instruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the use of technology, Garc\u00eda explains that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/ai-in-teaching-english\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">artificial intelligence has become a valuable support tool in ESL teaching<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He describes AI as a \u201cguide\u201d that helps structure lessons by providing quick and easy-to-follow lesson plans, improving time management in class. It also suggests creative and engaging activities, such as turning reading exercises into rap songs or designing dialogues using target vocabulary, thereby enriching the range of instructional strategies available to teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_0db55edf87ae310f02aa878d5820d1ce\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_0db55edf87ae310f02aa878d5820d1ce\">\n                Novakid\u2019s Method for Learning English            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">English language learning for children continues to evolve, driven by technological innovation and the emergence of new teaching methods.
