1. Make sure you know what your students want and need.

2. Your lessons don’t have to be dull and dry: make it communicative and purposeful to keep your students engaged and on-task

3. Base classroom activities around your learners’ styles and see them excel!

4. Bring in authentic material for genuine and meaningful practice.

5. Regularly monitor reasons for learning to ensure lessons centre around practical and useful language and functions.

1. Be prepared to participate more as a student as well as the teacher.

2. Keep up-to-date with your learner’s wants and needs to ensure progression and satisfaction.

3. Don’t just restrict instruction time to the classroom: go out if you can. This is great for functions practice, and is an interactive way to help your students learn.

4. Experiment with plenty of different teaching aids, such as music, DVDs, internet media clips etc, to improve class dynamics.

5. Have fun!
