I expect my English tutor to be disciplined and productive
- What strategies do you use to help shy or reluctant students participate in class discussions?
Working with students of varying levels of participation can be a challenge. A crucial component of teaching is the ability to adjust to various personalities and learning preferences. Kindly feel free to discuss how you engage reluctant students in group projects, games, or role-playing by using different techniques.
Best answer
As someone who was not an active participator in classes when I was younger and who has worked with shyer students, the key is not to pressure them. While participating in discussions can be important and show a student's understanding, not everyone is comfortable, some may even have anxiety. As a teacher, it's important to be encourage without pushing the student too much. It's also a lot easier to start small. Have students discuss in small groups and slowly work towards encouraging them to participate in whole-class discussions. It's also important to set clear expectations in the beginning of class that your classroom is a judgement-free space and enforce that students are kind and respectful to others. This way, when time comes for discussions, students who are more shy/unwilling to participate feel more comfortable to do so because they know that their peers are not judging them. The teacher should reflect this behavior as well and set an example.
Best answer
There is no fixed learning time for the students. Every student is different and will have to know what works best for them.

Ask yourself a question and write down an answer or little story about the question. Use the new words you are learning. Read this aloud. A fun and creative way to practice. I did this when I learned French because the tests always had an essay.
Best answer
Practice writing daily. Making mistakes is part of learning, so students shouldn't worry about them and just focus on getting words out. This helps with fluency and just being able to write in general. As students improve their skills, they can start focusing more on accuracy of their grammar/spelling/word choice. The key is to practice a lot. It's important to practice writing in different topics as well. Reading also improves writing as it exposes people to different writing styles, helps them learn about different usages/context of words, and expands their vocabulary.
Best answer
I would suggest that you increase the complexity level of class activities by engaging them in tasks that require the use of their critical level skills and utilize the inquire - based approach. I hope these tips help!
