45 min would be middle road, 30 min is too limited to cover all bases. One hour long lesson may bring up issues of diminishing attention span and fatigue, both students and teachers as well.
30 minutes is probably the best lesson length, as your brain is still able to concentrate on new things. After 45 minutes you start to get tired and will begin to go backwards.
I think 40 minutes because in this time span, students get less exhusted. It also strikes a balance between too short and too long.

30 MIN CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR KIDS WITH SHORT ATTENTION SPAN AND ONE HOUR CLASS IS APPROPRIATE FOR ADULTS AND PEOPLE WITH LONG ATTENTION SPAN
Hi, As a teacher in 30 minutes lesson I can analyse student'needs ans expectations, weeknesses and strengths, generally a trial lesson Best Regards
In my opinion, a 30-minute lesson allows for focused, to-the-point teaching and discussion, while a 1-hour lesson allows for a more thorough explanation of topics. Ultimately the effectiveness of the lesson duration may vary depending on the specific context, the needs of the students, and the subject matter.
As much as you tolerate keep conentrating, however my lessons are engaging and can keep you interestingly willing to put effort
Personally I like the 45 min classes. But with more advanced students I like the full hour. With less experienced students, we both get tired at the 45 minute mark. Advanced students can chit-chat and practice more easily.
It depends on the student's age.

Actually, when we say walk in the street, we don't know which street exactly, but when we say walk on the street, we exactly know which street they are walking on. For example: she was walking on st.jose street. Plus we can use along the streer instead

Through modeling, where the teacher provides a clear model of the pronunciation, and the student repeats it. Secondly, phonetic transcription using the International phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which can help the student understand how words are pronounced. Another way could be using tongue twisters, which can be a fun and helpful way for practicing pronunciation , especially for sounds that are difficult to pronounce. The last way could be recordings, where students could listen to native speakers and imitate how they pronounce words.
