Why don't we say (I am in work ) Or (I am at town)

Hello Portia! "In" is a preposition of place; we use it with places such as rooms and buildings. "Work" is not really a place; it is more like an event or a concept, so we use "at". For example, I am at work, I am at a party, I am at a conference...etc.

I have a few strategies that may be useful, as follows: 1. Build a foundation of basic vocabulary and grammar, which means that you should start with simple and frequently used vocabulary and basic grammar rules. In addition, use flashcards and visual aids, considering that they will help students remember the new vocabulary. 2. Encourage active listening and speaking, as language learning involves comprehension and production. Encourage students to listen and speak actively by engaging them in conversation, asking questions, and having them repeat words and phrases. 3. Provide ample opportunities for practice, given that this is key to mastering a new language. Provide ample opportunities for practicing speaking, writing, and reading in the target language. Role-playing and interactive games can also be included in this. 4. Make learning fun and engaging by using games and other activities that will improve the engagement of students. 5. Provide constructive feedback

Best answer
Throughout my experience teaching English as a second language, I have come to realize that it is better to learn English in groups when you teach in person. However, it is better to conduct individual classes when you teach online.
