Student-teachers, but a lot of the time it's public humiliation.\n\nMy history teacher told a student to stop fiddling around and take notes the other day. "Maybe if you do," he said, "you'll do better in my class."\nI think that was completely uncalled for and I'm sure the kid was embarrassed. Grades are between students and teachers and should not be discussed or hinted at. Sorry, it still bothers me.\n\nOh, yeah. We also have a few 'slow classes' that help people with a learning disability or otherwise. But I think that's about all.

Norliza, I wish I could give you a specific, up-t0-date answer. Unfortunately, I do not have my texts with me here. I suggest that you search for texts that deal with an overview of language methodologies. Look up "language methods" or "language methodologies". Go into the main language publication companies such as Heinle and Heinle, Cambridge Books; Oxford Texts. I also suggest the following texts: "Innovative Approaches to Language Teaching" by R. Blair, 1982 (It's an old text but should contain direct method) and "Making it Happen: Interaction in the second language classroom" by P.S. Richard-Amato, 1988. You also might check the authors Richards and Omaggio. I wish I could give you more up to date references, but these are the ones I used when I did my degree. All the best in your TESOL work.

i taught for 2 years and i preferred those who made an attempt at learning.... between slow & fast learners was a luxury that i never had the opportunity to experience!

The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that but they then show the most rapid improvement.\nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtools/m/208.cfm\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/nS/XX/nSXX7lbqv9r-V1glq3UvQg/GinEBrochure1.pdf\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.

Understand what you're teaching and see it from your students' perspective. Motivate the students to study and show them by example how and when to study. \n\nTeach them the ways of "sang froid" (French: cold blood) - not allowing their personal lives to get in the way of their studies. If they giv up every time their heart is broken or they have a row with someone, they'll never get anywhere in life.\n\nAlso, make them understand that nothing comes from laziness or mere dreaming, but much can come from hard work. Boost their confidence so that they can overcome fear (the most common cause of any block, including writer's block). Use proverbs to help them, e.g. there's nothing to fear but fear itself.\n\nFinally, the best teachers are those that care so some experience as a social worker/counsellor will help.

Unless you have a mental problem, that prevents you from learning, the only barrier is laziness. Some people may need glasses or have dyslexia, or a hearing problem, but all these can be addressed and these people taught in the proper way.***

Many schools do not have in place the best methods for teaching reading. Also, I learned in class the other day that if a child has made it to high school without learning how to read, then it takes 2-4 hours of intensive reading instruction for them to learn. What high school in this country devotes 2-4 hours a day to help kids learn to read? \n\nI read in another answer that students aren't allowed past 1st grade without learning how to read. Well how many times are you going to hold a student back? If the teacher's instruction does not match the learning needs of the student, it can be difficult for that student to learn the necessary skills. Many teachers teach one way, and one way only. Students have a variety of learning needs and not all will benefit from the chosen teaching methods. I highly doubt that a child who hasn't learned to read by first grade would be held back until he/she learns to read- that would cause a lot of social and emotional damage.\n\nI am sad for the mother and her son in this situation and know that they are not alone. A good suggestion was made to seek out an adult literacy program to help your son. It will not erase the pain of knowing that he should have learned to read in school, but it will help for the future. Good luck.

its a good concept because it focuses more on the learner. the teacher is able to do more guiding than direct teaching. the learner is also able to get more actively involved in what is going on either through experiments, group learning, etc..it provides better understanding for the learner and its probably a lot less boring for them than standard lecture.

There are several different learning styles and the teacher has to learn how to teach to what works best for her students.  Not everyone can learn just by reading a book. (visual)\n\nOther styles are auidtory - learning by hearing.\nTacticle  learning thru touch,hands on\nKinesthetic - learning thru movement\n\n\nHere's a great article about these different styles that you might find helpful.\nhttp://homeworktips.about.com/od/homeworkhelp/a/learningstyle.htm

Why not take advantage of the fact that they are young enough to reprogram them out of the typical "one size fits all cookie cutter" approach to learning? Have you looked into other methods along the home-schooling spectrum? I would pick up a few good books about home schooling elementary aged children and start getting creative instead of relying solely (if at all) on a packaged curriculum.

There is no best way. Different people have different learning styles. Some are audial, others are visual, many are tactile or kinestetic. You have to find a way that works for you, or even a combination of different styles and methods.

Google < Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP)> - it is a methodology for lesson planning in the classroom. Works GREAT. Below are more ESL sources along with SIOP sources
