Teaching and Learning Quotes

The teacher finds their students are often tired in class. They feel uncomfortable correcting pronunciation as a non-native speaker but as a learner, want immediate feedback. While games may seem childish for adult students, building rapport is important though students ultimately respect a knowledgeable teacher over a nice teacher. The teacher is growing bored of repeatedly teaching the same grammar points and struggles with both quiet and talkative students.

My students are

tired when they


come to class.

I feel awkward teaching


pronunciation as a non
native speaker

As a teacher I don’t like to


interrupt students during
fluency activities to correct
them. As I learner I want to
be corrected immediately
I talk too much. But
when my students are
unresponsive I get
nervous.

Games are
childish. I
teach adults.

A lot of attention is given to


‘rapport’. It’s just another
word for ‘being nice’.
Students don’t need me to
be nice, they need me to
know what I’m talking
about. They will respect me
for my knowledge not my
niceness!
I am getting bored. I
have taught the present
perfect a thousand
times!

I have trouble getting


shy students to speak
and even more
trouble getting
confident students to
stop talking!
