It is my first time to write a post in a blog. I'm a newbie. Well, that doesn't sound good, but at least I'd like to share my experience (or experiment in my opinion).
Then I learned that the communication,humor and praising is very important in this situation. If a student feel comfortable and respected he will be an active volunteer in class activities. Grouping is also effective in class activities. The experienced students became source of learning. Thank God it works! And hopefully it continues... I love CLIL. The positive thing is I can learn from my students their field experiences. It feels like I am a student among them (but I got paid). When the teacher feels like a student he must be much younger then. :)

This is exactly what my problem is. I often think how if my students know better than I do. What's the point of my standing in front of them teaching? No wonder I freak out when they laugh, when they stare blankly, when they yawn or squint. Is there anything wrong? Do I suddenly grow horn?
I do believe that teaching is, in fact, a public performance. I don't think I'm a great actor either. But at least I give them my best. I tell them all I know and I really don't mind if they do know better. After all, it's a process for both of us. It's two-way road to knowledge. I just hope that my small contribution matters.
Moreover, when they know how meagre my salary is, they won't bother anymore if the teacher is actually a lame entertainer!
ha ha... Do I suddenly grow horn? No Mam but We just saw a real case of ascariasis in you. ha ha. And you give a wise statements Ria. I do agree. In my opinion, building relationship with students is a part of teaching. we don't have to be entertainer. we just need the students to trust us, to conduct the class. And how meagre our salary is, that's entertaining.
