In this unit, I've learned the differences between the different types of special groups and each groups' particular teaching styles for each. I've learned that when it comes to a group of beginners, this term can range from students with no English ability or exposure whatsoever, to adult learners, and learners with no exposure to the roman alphabet. I've also learned the particulars of teaching individuals, such as that since there is only one student, that a needs analysis is essential to the student's growth as well as a need to approach lessons with variety. With Young Learners, I learned that it is essential to always use English rather than relying on their native language. I also learned that it's important to have a wide range of activities and games in order to keep the student's attention span in check, and that it's important to use gestures and miming as much as possible. In regards to teaching Business English, I learned that teachers shouldn't assume they are teaching business, but rather English that will be used in a business setting. Compared to the other groups I learned that Business English classes will be varied as some students although come from the same department may have a range of abilities that must be taken into account for when preparing the syllabus. I also learned that a good idea to start off the Business Class would be to prepare a level test, a needs analysis as well as a group analysis as well. Finally, I learned the differences between teaching a monolingual class and a multilingual class, and that the two have their own advantages and disadvantages.
