In the unit 2 I've learned about various roles of the teacher and the learner and how they adopt a new role depending on a situation.For example,a teacher can be a counsellor who provides help and guidance to students or he/she can be a policeman who controls and punished misbehaving pupils.
There are also different types of learners of Business English who usually aren't at the same level of English which makes things more difficult for teachers as they'll have to consider the differentiation. In this unit I've learned how to deal with this kind of students.
Teaching adults have some advantages and disadvantages. For example, general motivation with adults is higher and their level of maturity is higher than with young learners as well. Potential problems with adults are that they may have the lesson after work when they're tired and thinking about going home.
When teaching one to one learners, there are lots of issues to deal with as they have no pair work or lessons might become boring to students and personality difference can be a real problem as well. On the other hand, students get 100% attention from the teacher, they get more feedback and they can work at their pace
Teaching Business English requires skills such as: listening, reading(receptive skills) writing and speaking(productive skills)
There are few teaching methods: Grammar translation, Audio Lingualism, The silent Way, Task-based learning and PPP(Presentation, Practice, Production)
