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.

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).

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.

I definitely like to think I am:) I work hard to create a collaborative atmosphere where students can share their ideas and learn from one another. When we all vibe together positively, it makes for a more dynamic and effective learning environment.

I enjoy using an interactive teaching method as I believe it is the most effective way for students to learn a language. I like to have students participate in group discussions, role-playing, and teaching each other. For example, after they read something, I have them talk in small groups about what they think. This helps them express themselves better and encourages teamwork and critical thinking. I've noticed that when students are actively involved in learning, they remember things better and feel more sure of themselves.

I have no idea, and honestly, I don't need to know since this is the ENGLISH ASK COMMUNITY section, not Korean. You might want to try posting your question in the KOREAN ASK COMMUNITY section instead.
