Best answer
Hi Karabo, my opinion, humble I might add, is that you review you intro video, thumbnail and photo, if all okay, then practice as much patience as possible.
- 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.

- Flipping the classroom
Does anyone know this method of teaching, if so can you explain it?
Best answer
Flipping also known as inverting the classroom is a pedagogy-first approach to teaching, in which course materials are introduced outside of class & in class time is repurposed for inquiry, application and assessment in order to better meet the needs of individual learners.
- What do you think about English, is it hard to learn for you or is it easy tell me the reasons why.
In your explination of why tell me what you find hard about it, is it listening, speaking or reading? what part of your answer do you find hard?
Best answer
Growing up, I used to struggle in speaking in English even if I have the ability to write and read in English fluently. My confidence is nowhere to be found. It is not my mother tongue and I do not have someone to communicate with English.

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.
