I've attracted quite a few from all around the world. It's not a consistent thing but it just takes patience and good skills. I have enjoyed interacting with them and they, too, teach me a lot as I do for them!

I focus primarily on fostering communicative skills through engaging dialogue. I start by asking about their experiences with learning English and what they wish to achieve. This informs our discussion and gives them ownership of their learning. During the trial, I encourage them to speak as much as possible, guiding and correcting gently when necessary. To make the session dynamic, I include a brief reading activity followed by discussion questions to promote critical thinking and fluency. My goal is to ensure that they leave the class feeling empowered and excited about their learning journey.
- Any advice or lesson plans specifically for French-speaking students?
I have French students who find speaking English challenging. They mostly want to focus on conversational lessons. I would appreciate any advice or ideas to help them with fluency. Thanks

I think audiolingual method is optimal for beginners. The teacher starts with greetings and everyone learns the meaning and form through choral and individual repetitions. Then, TBLT could help; assigning tasks to students (start from simpler ones to more challenging).
- Do your students enjoy listening skills? My students often feel that it's not necessary.
My students often don’t like doing listening lessons, but I then explain to them why the listening lessons are so important. • Learners acquire new vocabulary and language in context by hearing repeated readings with embedded meaning. • Learners see how the teacher ‘thinks’ about the text and, in time, will start to develop their critical thinking about texts. • Learners can answer questions orally and individually in the text. • Learners become familiar with the structure and tone of different text genres, which helps them develop their knowledge and understanding of text types. • Learners develop a love for text by hearing engaging texts read by a fluent, expressive reader.

I think that the flipped classroom model gives students the opportunity to be in control of their learning. When I assign listening exercises as homework, I give them the chance to interact with the material at their own speed. This means that when we have class, we can focus on having more in-depth discussions and practicing speaking, instead of spending time listening to audio tracks during online lessons. I've noticed that when students do the listening exercises at home, they come to class ready and more confident to share their ideas. This change from passive to active learning keeps my students engaged and enthusiastic about their own development.

I make an effort to connect with my students on a personal level. I learn about their interests, backgrounds, and goals, and I try to reflect this knowledge in my lessons. This personal connection helps them feel valued and understood, which, in turn, motivates them to engage more deeply in their studies.

A "wet blanket" is someone who tends to spoil others' fun or enthusiasm with their negative outlook. E.g. When the team goes out to celebrate a successful project, one coworker keeps reminding everyone about deadlines and upcoming work.
