Ahvaz, Iran TESOL Online & Teaching English Jobs

This unit introduces us to the main forms of teaching we may encounter. Each of them requires some specific skills and levels of preparation. Young learners. Often energetic and eager but have a lack of attention and understanding of the concept of discipline. Useful tips for the teacher are: avoid using the students native language and redundancy in English, don't raise your voice too much and do not threaten especially if you never carry your threats out. But the most importantly, make your classes exciting and varied because children will usually get bored of long-lasting and repeating activities. If you do that, they will reward you with their progress and attitude very soon. Adult beginners. These groups are notorious for being very difficult to work with. Unlike young learners, adults are usually too focused on translation into their native language therefore often unable to comprehend even basic grammar rules. Tips: be patient and never overdo with the tasks. Individual students. Despite looking easier than teaching a group of students, one-to-one classes can be very exhausting for both the teacher and the student. The number of activities teachers can choose from is much less than with a group. Teachers' engagement increases causing tiredness sooner. Another possible issue is that the relationships between the two can become more friendly and informal reducing the teaching time and sequentially the efficiency of work. Business English/English for Specific Purposes. This is known to be complicated for most teachers because they very seldom have enough knowledge of the subject they are supposed to teach in English which dramatically increases preparation time. On the other hand, this kind of work is often very rewarding in terms of payment.
