This unit gave me some basic understanding of the roles the teacher and the learner “play” and what good characteristics are for both. It highlighted to me that when teaching English, you need to be aware of quite a few parameters such as the age of the students you teach and therefore what are the potential consequences e.g. an adult might have a higher motivation during the class compared to younger students as he/she signed up for the class themselves and usually have concrete outcomes they like to achieve. On the other hand that might come with certain expectations on how the adult believes a class should be taught compared to the juniors who are more open-minded how the teacher approaches the class. Another example is to be aware of the culture background and therefore the different styles of learning and communicating. All in all as a teacher you will need to adopt your teaching approach to accomodate the circumstances.
i This unit also taught the classification of English skills, which helps one to understand when you teach a “intermediate” class on what to expect of their level of fluency, accuracy and vocabulary. However it is worth to note that the classification is only a guidance and only when being with the students it will tell you what their skill levels are and how homogenous the class is in their knowledge of the English language.
