- Homework - How do you deal with a situation where students don't do homework
They either wait until the last minute or don't do it just because, this is not a formal school etc. Please share how you ensure homework is done for adults.

You can't force them. You could remind them that doing homework will help them to progress faster, reinforce what they learn in class, etc. If you know what hobbies / interests they have, setting homework tasks that are related to them, might encourage them more, such as a reading task on a topic they like. You could also try to give them short tasks, so it doesn't take them too long. I try to use short listening tasks / videos, which are only 2 / 3 minutes long. However, if they just don't want to do the homework, I don't think they will. Some people just want to learn during the lessons, without any extra work. Conversation lessons might be better for those students. If they want to learn specific things, like grammar and make huge progress without doing their homework, you could remind them that they get out of the lessons what they put in (in a nice way, of course).

I have a student who uses a translating app during lessons. I noticed today, she used it less and focused on my instructions and shadowed me in pronunciation. She is making progress though, 2nd lesson, however she really works hard, spends much time practicing what I send as homework..

Always Show respect and understanding through compassion, show that you are interested and try to remember that their Culture is different from yours, and be willing to ask questions, doing this shows you are not Ignorant

MonikaCertified TEFL teacher with 3 years teaching experienceA student can, if only for a few moments, become another, explore a new role, try out and experiment with various personal choices and solutions to very real problems … this can happen in a safe atmosphere where actions and consequences can be examined, discussed, and in a very real sense experienced without the dangers and pitfalls that such experimentation would obviously lead to in the ‘real’ world

The 21st century tools are a great set of items to use in the classroom to engage student learning. This is because students can utilize the internet for classes and duscussions with the tools available on teaching platforms. Students can do research on ICT devices and improve their knowledge in subject areas. In the 21st century there is also the communicative approach to learning languages; wherein students can communicate effectively and deliver meaningful messages that are able to be understood by the receiver. There is also the result of work life balance for learner who work due to the 21st century tools. There is also online lesson management systems where you can upload the student's grades and reports for them to access and it can be shared electronically. In addition, one can now access the globe through globalization which is enabled by these tools. Hence, the barriers of travel is no longer a problem in the 21st century. For instance, I can be at my home country and teach.
