I try to vary the accents my students hear. By the way I talk...the materials I use...guests to the classroom...media tools...etc. How do we know what are students will do with what we teach them...or where they will go...and who they will meet. Imagine yourself in your students shoes. Your teacher ...

What is your biggest gripe about teaching?

Hey Friend,

I am doing a survey for an article for my e-zine over at www.esl-education-network-online.com I am wondering what your biggest gripe about teaching in the classroom is.

Portuguese Speaking Teachers

Are there any other portuguese speaking teachers in here...that understand how a portuguese speaking student thinks and would translate certain things.

Where are you from? What languages do you speak? What languages do your students speak?

Tried TPRS

Have you tried using TPRS...the storytelling method.

I use it alot for that kind of group. It works great...because you start off slow for the lower students and build up to the level of the higher students. By the end of the class the students understand everything and everyone is happy. ;)
