Basing a lesson on what we can do ourselves as in the examples above clearly has the enormous advantage of not being susceptible to technical malfunction ,power cuts or unavailability. However,an over-reliance on what we ourselves can offer places excessive demands upon us. It is hard to be permanently motivating and expressions. Nevertheless the way in which we use our voice, the way in which we model language and employ gesture and expression rae all basic and important teaching skills.
