I believe in personalizing every students class according to what they need and want from their classes. My methodology is based on at least 15% minimum talk time for the teacher 85%maximum talk time for the student. I believe that every student should get the answers they are looking for from their teacher results matter the student must be improving every month that is how I measure my performance as a teacher.
There is no right or wrong way to teach I use multiple methods to teach the method depends upon which method or combination of methods works for each student. Teachers must be flexible and reliable. Students are looking to the teacher to guide them to learning the English language not to take away their talk time meaning their ability to practice the language. Correction should and must be used when students need a hand otherwise the teacher should get out of the way and give their student time to practice and to improve.
