Hola!
I would love, love, love, love to teach this method. No student interaction, sit with a tape recorder and have the students repeat everything over and over. Wonderful! (No joke, I feel this way.) No need to bust my brain thinking of lesson plans, no need to be entertaining and engaging. I just suit up and show up.
Are there any language schools in China who use this?

I'm with Senor on this one - how wonderful would it be to not to have to try so effing hard for a change? |
Am I the only one here that believes that you have to make an effort to teach if you are serious about your job and actually want children to learn something?
Of course drilling is an important part of the lesson but is that all that needs to be done to get students to speak English? What happened to getting students to talk to each other?

I know that a lot of institutes in Asia just want somebody who is a native speaker so that the parents are happy and keep paying course fees. That attitude really offends me, but then I'm not surprised that sort of thing happens when a lot of teachers in asia really don't give a dam about what they do. |
