Icelandic2733 questions about English
- Your students informs you that they want lessons in this or that.
When lessons start and you have done an assessment of student levels, the picture is vastly different, what do you do?
Best answer
Many students' perceived ability to speak English differs greatly from their actual ability. It is an English teacher's job to tell you them how good (or bad) their English is, and to draw up a plan to help them improve. If you are a native English speaker and qualified teacher, you are in a far better position to judge than they are, after all they are the ones who have signed up to learn the language. A student cannot just cherry pick what they want to learn. Learning a language is about learning and using all aspects of the language. So the long and the short of it is, be honest, polite and firm with a student who thinks they can choose to learn some aspects of English over others.

DaniloTeaching English linguistics
The first step is to get the full grasp of what language syntax is and what it is not. Very few students I've taught could distinguish the difference between syntax, semantics, lexicon, morphology or even phonetics. It was all "grammar" to them. The key and the first task of the teacher then is to help students sort through and disentangle those concepts. One cannot start teaching verb tenses, modal auxiliary and other syntactic concepts when the student does not understand what tense, auxiliary verbs etc are in the first place. There is no one to one relationship between syntax and semantics. For example, in English we can refer to future situations in a number of ways, but there is no dedicated future verb tense in the language. There's no "future tense", simple or continuous or perfect or whatever.
