WHAT ABOUT THE LEVEL?


We have to be able to teach in every circumstance that can be presented, for example, teaching to beginners is a good option to start the process. It is important to remember that the most beginners have had no contact with English and It can be a little bit stressful.
The first thing that they should learn, it would be some vocabulary with the aid of images, similar to the process that the kids have when they learn the mother tongue. In this line, using the mother tongue to teach English it can be a good option for teaching some grammar rules or word lists.
In this process, the teacher can use some specific methods like:
The Audiolingual method and the Total Physical Response.



On the other hand, it can be another different situation. When there are multi-levels in a class, it can present two concepts about this; the first one includes students who communicate in English at a variety of different levels, and the second one includes students with different types of learning backgrounds. For all of these, the teacher has to find appropriate sources and material, also it is important to determine individual needs of each student, and in this way he should organize appropriate groups in the class taking into account the level of the students.

  2. Yeimi Alexandra Salazar: A good teacher is prepare for teach in different levels of English, and the teacher needs to prepare the material depending the level and the age of student, I think that a good activity in a class that has multiples levels the teacher can uses dialogs between the students that have a good level with the students that have a low level this strategy can help the teacher to improve the level of the low level’s students.
