Everything I know about teaching English as a second language in Spain I�ve learned from experience - trial and error. I used to feel insecure about not having any formal training or not following a specific method but not anymore. I�ve learned what works and doesn�t work from my students. Teaching is listening and coaching. It doesn�t matter how you do it.
It�s interesting to discuss the latest language acquisition theories and methodologies but when you�re limited to two visits a week to teach busy adults at their place of work the English they need to function in their jobs you have to come up with solutions to their immediate needs.
