I am working on my certification to teach English as a foreign language. (I intend to also get certified to teach it as a second language but in due time).
I was just curious about those that may not be entirely fluent in English and/or English is not your native/mother tongue. Just a few simple questions. It would help me get an idea if you could just answer them. Honestly, this is directed to the aforementioned but if you are fluent in English and/or it is your native tongue, I still would like some suggestions. I haven't started working on a lesson plan of sorts yet. I'm not that far in my studies just yet but all the same.
Some small questions:
1. How did you learn or how are you learning English?
2. If you study alone, what is it that you find you struggle with? Or what feels most difficult about English to you? What feels easiest?
3. If you take a class, study with friends, etc. (in other words you don't really study alone), what do you find difficult? What feels easy?
4. What are things that really help you learn? (for example, listening to music, holding a conversation (acting out a scenario/scene), watching a scene from a show or movie, etc.)
5. If you're not already studying English but are interested in learning, what do you think would help you?
6. What feels more difficult/harder about writing in English? And also about speaking in English? What's easiest for you?
7. If a teacher can respond and correct work, do you think online teaching would help you?
You don't have to answer all or even any of these questions really. Just looking for a little insight from the student perspective.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and, remember, no matter who you are or where you are, that you are loved and cherished and you are important. Have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening!
