1) Teaching beginners - absolute beginners - false beginner - adult beginner - young beginner - beginner without Roman alphabet Tips for teaching beginners: - requires special skills and psychology - aware of student's needs - have clear and realistic aims - adapt to suit your situation - arrange the classroom - be as visual as possible - take care with your board work - use pair and group work - encourage students to speak as much English as possible Possible problems: - what can you do with a mix of real and false beginners? Many false beginners will ask to start from scratch - how can you help weaker students? pair them with stronger students. Give them extra work to allow them to catch up Motivation - do not over-correct - do not have the book open all the time - be sensitive to your students - respond to your students as individuals - create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere - focus on what is easy, not what is difficult - explain your methods 2) Teaching individual students - no mixed levels. Needs can be clearly defined. Developing a close relationship with the student. - suggestions: many activities from course book. Needs analysis form. Maximize on student's interest and experience. - Guided conversation, vocabulary building based on a topic or theme, or material based on grammatical problems experienced by the student should constitute the rest of the lesson. 3) Teaching children - don't cheat by using their native language. It removes the motivation, \"If I wait long enough, I will hear it in my own language, so why make the effort to understand?\
