My difficulties as an English teacher
Everyday, I have face new challenges to face in my profession. A One problem that is annoying me a little bit is the fact that I have 30 thirty (Numbers less than 100 should be written as words.) students in each class. Besides the number of students, that would be which is a problem itself, their knowledge of English is very different. I have beginners and high intermediate students in the same class. I've already thought about cloning myself, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What would you suggest for me? Sorry for the dumb thoughts, but I had to let them out hahaha. Isn't there any expression for this in English?
Hi Franciele, I sympathize with you. My classes also average thirty students each, and I teach five one-hour classes per day. My suggestion to you is to find ways to have the high intermediate level students provide support to the beginners. Obviously, you know your class better than I do, so I cannot promise this would work, but if you want to give it a try, who knows?
In my classroom, I usually have the gifted students sit beside the students with learning disabilities. Of course, not all gifted and learning disabled students are equal (some love giving and receiving help, and some hate it), so I have to be cautious about that.
Also, Paul is correct: the closest expression for what you're doing is "getting this off my chest."
My difficulties The challenges I face as an English teacher
Every day I have face new challenges to face in my profession. A problem that is annoying me a little bit is the fact that I have 30 students in each class. Besides the number of students, that which would be a problem in itself, their knowledge of English is very different. I have beginners and high upper-intermediate students in the same class. I've already thought about cloning myself, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What would you suggest that I do me? Sorry for the dumb thoughts, but I had to let them out hahaha isn't there any expression for this in English? (I had to get this off my chest = idiomatic expression that fits this situation.)English teacher blues.
Everyday I have new challenges to face in my profession. A somewhat annoying problem is that I have 30 students in each class. Besides this number, a problem in itself, their knowledge of English is very varied. I have beginners and high intermediate students in the same class. I've already considered cloning myself, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What would you suggest?* Sorry for the dumb thoughts, but I had to let them out. hahaha isn't there any expression for this in English?*cloning yourself.
