I have a couple advanced adult classes now and to be honest I don't really see the point. They can have pretty complicated conversations and should be teaching their own classes, IMO. (Most are.)

I teach them some really difficult vocabulary, idioms, nuances and it's a platform for them to actually use English, but it doesn't really feel like teaching.

What should we be doing with these students? Is it just a way to motivate them to keep up their English? They could just as easily pick up a book or watch a movie and probably learn more.

There must be a point when the student no longer needs a teacher. What is it and should we be kicking students out and telling them to go it on their own?
