You know, the fact is that when we learn our mother tongue we have a strong intuition power and we don‘t learn a language, but we acquire it. later when we grow up, we start to learn, and because we have so many thoughts our intuition power decreases dramatically, and it takes years of meditation till we can improve our intuition power. I always say to my students if you feel what I taught you then my job is done. But we can’t change our students and we can’t explain to them how much intuition power is important, and I mean if you tell them to try to feel the lesson they don’t understand but I tell them because maybe one day they can feel it. but grammar(structure and context of use), and vocabulary needed to be memorized whether it be intuitively or by repeating and practice if we can explain the fact to them that the secret of reminding is that *it must be based on intuition* then we can help them to learn faster and more productive.

Even though both won't be incapable of communicating the language, the learner who is driven by passion and emotion will reach fluency and accuracy quicker. Somebody that's willing to do something because they genuinely want to will achieve better results when compared to somebody that's 'sink or swim' learning. Investing time and strengthening focus when learning a language will help tremendously. Most of all, have fun!

These are some points that you should take into consideration: 1- write meaningful aims and learning outcomes. 2- plan ahead for language and potential problems in the lesson. 3- focus on the target language, form, and pronunciation beside the language area and use. some teachers prefer to do their lesson plan in more detail others might be happy with just a few notes. Thank you for asking.

I try to make sure that the student understands that to start speaking he/she has to literally start speaking! Even though it sounds funny, without getting over your fear of making mistakes and sounding stupid, one will never learn how to speak. And my job is to encourage the student all the way.

I have had many students with this problem and we have gradually solved by transmitting confidence to the student. To be honest, here the teacher plays an important role. I would even say that many times the reason for this anxiety comes from some bad experience with not very patient teachers in their past. We can somehow make the students feel comfortable and lose the fear of making mistakes, which is mainly the reason for their anxiety. If I had to somehow advise a student for not suffering from speech anxiety I would just tell them to think that nobody speaks perfectly even native people don't. I would recommend that they breathe slowly and relax. A good teacher is quite important. On the other hand, not only teachers have to be patient but also students have to take their time as well. Speaking a second or third language takes its time. My best wishes

Both methods achieve different goals. The Direct Method focuses more on developing your speaking capabilities and for learners to get an intuitive sense of the language. The Grammar Translation Method focuses more on the literary aspect. It helps learners understand the structure of the language for analyzing literature and form. It does not help learners easily develop their speaking capabilities and can be tedious so I personally favor the Direct Method

You become a better conversationalist by speaking clearly and concisely, paying attention to what the other person is saying, engaging in conversation with people without difficulty, whether the topic is lighthearted or serious, knowing when to conclude the talk so that everyone is satisfied, and having a strong sense of humor.
