 Re: Is it me or them?
I feel your pain. I have had plenty of students like that. You will probably find that these students are not very strong in their first language too. Don't beat yourself up too much. Just keep at it and do what you are doing in terms of showing examples and presenting the material in different ways.
In the past I usually have matched these kinds of students up with higher level students. Sometimes a struggling student will pick up the concept by observing another student. i think the main thing is that you keep the atmosphere light. Once the students tense up they are unlikely to learn at all. I hope this helps! |
