- 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!

- I believe that "Role-play", is a very effective teaching strategy to keep students engaged.
I think it's very effective especially with children. What are your views?.
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Role-plays can be effective on the condition that learners are not asked to memorize anything. If so, it'll turn into an intimidating and also dull experience. Students must be free to construct their own sentences with the themes given.
- Hi there, Can I improve my english speaking in 3 weeks to get band 6.5 in IELTS Speaking part

- How do you usually reply to your students when responding correctly to your questions?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Hi Abdo, Rewarding (or acknowledging as the case may be) progress is as important as giving lessons. So at every opportunity, the student's effort is acknowledged even when they are wrong. But whenever they are right, do not fail to acknowledge and praise the effort and/or the outcome. You just have to understand your student enough to know exactly what amount of "praise" is right to keep them motivated. Hope this makes sense?
- What would you tell those that debunk grammar and consider it unnecessary?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Let's imagine that we gave all the riches in the World to a 4-year-old child. It would nonetheless be the wealthiest kid on Earth, but would he/she be able to properly use it? Thinking that grammar is unnecessary leaves you with your vocabulary, even as rich as it could be, you won't be able to construct sentences that are logical and understandable, either in verbal or written form. That's how important grammar is.
- Are Phonics necessary to learn English? And what are the best ways to learn English Phonics?
I think learning the sounds of the letters of the alphabet are very important for English beginners.
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Absolutely. Learning phonics is a what is taught in grade 1 in order for students to become familiar with the sound of words. Its okay to teach it to adults too i mean arent they doing and L2. Best way is to practice it once it's been taught or introduced. Everyday practice and as the days go by and you become more confident add more words to enhance your understanding of phonics and it can be a session with your teacher where everyone can go over their phonic sounding words
- Can the word "in" only be used as a preposition?
In what other way can it be used?
