Editor's Notes

  1. Classroom English: If learners know how to ask questions and can tell you when they don’t understand, then you have made the very first step to making them responsible for their own learning.Share information: What the course is, what they have to achieve, timescales, what the exam will be about, study skills, rules. Strengths and Weaknesses: Tell them it is their responsibility to learn – you (the teacher) and the course book are there to support their learning but they have to active participants. They have to make time to review / revise / learn.Study skills – suggest different ways to study. Make sure they know they are all different – if one student find it easy to learn vocabulary, it doesn’t mean the others are stupid, they have to develop their own strategies for learning. The teacher facilitates that learning by giving learners ideas about how to learn.Most of the adult learners in my classes have jobs, families and are studying for a master’s. They also have to make time for English. I encourage them to spend a short time every day (if possible) on their English study. 10-15 minutes everyday is better than an hour once a week. Listening to English radio / TV / films / podcasts is a great way to improve listening skills even if you don’t understand much for the first few months. Your ‘ear’ will tune-in eventually. Suggest learners find a study partner or someone you can practice speaking English with . This can be a classmate, another student learning English, a child in the family, anyone that can speak some English. It does not need to be a native speaker. With a study partner,
