 Do advanced learners need us?
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? |
