It is always interesting to hear different opinions regarding the approach to the teaching and learning process of a second language.
Having recently discussed some aspects of its techniques and strategies for students, inspired me to go over this issue again.
We all know that a successful language learning process through either an one-to-one or a group private classes, can not occur without an effective teaching syllabus.
In my view, the syllabus applied for teaching these sort of classes, is the expression of the personal characteristics , language knowledge and practical experience of the instructor, which are subjected to students analysis from the very first contact.
Therefore, some details such as the classroom where you teach , the language study material and the points you make to assertively connect and listen to your students needs, are parts of the atmosphere you create to show what they can expect from you .
Since students do like the language and commit themselves to improving their language skills, a substancial open field is ahead for a teacher wisely take into consideration each one’s individual peculiarities, and work towards his goal.
Just to set an example, I had a 60- year- old student whose Portuguese grammar knowledge was poor for having dropped out of school when she was to start junior school level. However,her limited schooling background did not prevent me from developing her English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills ,in a way , it enabled her to communicate effectively in business and travel settings.
So, finding the most suitable approach for your students learning , is surely going to surprise you!
What's more, making it as simple as the old -fashioned blackboard , might be a tip for you.
Have fun and enjoy it in the first place!
