 English vs. ESL
In regards to how English is taught, what are the major differences between teaching English in a country where the students first language is English versus teaching in a country where the students' first language is something other than English?
I think the end goals are the same, to teach the students a competent level of English that will allow the student to successfully operate in an English-speaking society.
However, are the grammar points taught the same? Are the strategies and goals the same? Or, do the English grammar rules taught change based upon the society where English is being taught? |
