Lesson 5 : Classroom Commands
Students are motivated by fun and it is the most important ingredient in a successful class. These expressions will help a new teacher a lot with class control and basic communications. It also shows students that the teacher is trying to learn their language, give and take, mutual respect.
This lesson will help teachers with classroom commands in Dzongkha.
As it is customary for the students to rise at the entry of the teacher, you as a teacher would like to tell them to sit down which in Dzongkha would be ZHU. I will say that again Zhu , this is a polite form of telling please sit down.
In an opposite situation to ask a student to stand up , one would say YAR LONG.
When you want the students to repeat you would use the command CHA LOG BAY NANG.
So if the students are to repeat slowly you would say
GO LAY GO LAY LABSH!
And if you want to students to hurry up then you would say
JOG PA RANG JOG PA RANG!
Ans finally if the teacher is in a midst of a noisy classroom and you want to say "BE QUIET!" , then I suggest you use the universal language of putting your finger against the lips and saying SHHHH!.
We will go over the phrases once again:
Greetings : Kuzoozangpo La
Sit Sit : Zhu Zhu :
Stand up : Yar Long:
Repeat : Char Log Bay Nang
Slowly: Golay Golay
Be Quiet: SHHHH
Tashi Delk and Happy learning.
