Are you a teacher looking for students to have conversational lessons with?
- Are they students willing to learn conversational English rather that Written English ?
Written English is formal spoken, reading and writing English, where as Conversational English is informal communicative English which is in a more narrative form, event-based or story-based.
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
nine out of ten students are more willing to have speaking classes than writing ones since writing has always been a laborious task even in their mother tongues and it is a skill which are usually overlooked by many teachers. In addition, most students learn English so as to communicate with others verbally and witting stuff has got more to do with academic settings

First, it is important to find the source of shyness. Some students are just "camera shy." If this is the case, ask them if they would like to turn off the camera. Some students are shy because of their mistakes. If so, ask them if they want to be corrected immediately or after the lesson in their private chat. There may be many reasons for shyness, but the most important thing is not to make a point of their shyness.

- How do you teach Pronunciation?
Shadowing Phonetics Using Articulatory organs etc.

I think the first thing we should do is learn phonetics. It is important to learn the place where and how sounds are articulated. Make listening exercises and give students the chance to repeat it as much as possible. Never interrupt them when talking. Only give feedback after they’re done talking.

- Would you advise your students to learn informal English in order to talk to native speakers?
Dear fellow tutors, Read this for further clarifications. In some cases, students only learn academic and formal English, which may not be put to good use when talking to native speakers outside the parameters of their "classrooms". Now that we are online teachers, would learning informal English be a recommendation for your students? Do you think that it is a good way to express themselves when outside their learning zones? Perhaps, would you consider learning idioms a good choice for them? Leave your answers, and I will check them out later. Happy tutoring. Abdelkhalek Sfaihi (tutor)

Dear colleague, Thanks a lot for your question. I'm really pleased to have the opportunity to discuss with a colleague such an important topic and such others. Being an online teacher doesn't offer you many opportunities to talk about your work with others, which I consider to be really useful and interesting. I've always missed that here. In my opinion, English should be taught in as many varieties as possible. So, knowing informal English is necessary , even if we talk about slang or a register denotibg a poor prestigious English it is important to know it. Of course the student should very clearly know the meaning and the difference of speaking in one or another way because we all know it may be relevant. Have a good one!
