My
regular Wednesday evening class is for working adults who are
developing their language and professional skills. We do a lot of
task-related work with particular focus on presentation skills. We role-play activities designed to use and develop the students' real life
knowledge, with an emphasis on student input - I try and keep my mouth
shut as much as possible, working more as a facilitator than a trainer.
They're a good crowd, and bring a lot of different perspectives and experiences to the activities. These classes are rewarding for me because I can usually learn something from someone, and build on the students' knowledge. This helps them a lot more than simple language-learning would do.
