Default Re: The new student...

Mr. E,
most of my students were fairly low when they started so if they had gone thru the basics ie the first 6 months, they'd have the basics. but these guys dont even have the basics.

things just took a turn for the worst. some chinese students just got put in the class. they don't speak korean (so the other students cant help them) and they aren't anywhere near the level of the other beginner students in english.

i learned a long time ago in my tefl course to teach to the high-mid range of the students. i'm going to continue doing that and give some supplementary stuff to the new students.
