Teaching English as a Foreign Language For Dummies, Maxom M.

   I have been teaching English for many years now and I have found it an entirely rewarding experience. I have met the most fascinating people and had a hand in helping others reach their goals. My goal in this book is to help you enjoy TEFL too by giving you the confidence and know-how to get a job and deliver effective, engaging lessons.




Having them test themselves.
One kind of test that’s really useful for giving you a head start before you even meet the student, is a self-assessment test in which you get the student to analyse how good she is at various aspects of the language, usually by rating herself from 1-5 or by completing sentences.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, ‘If the student can’t speak English, how can she complete the test?’ Well, if all your students come from the same language base, you can fairly easily organise a test in their mother tongue. You can make the test visual by using pictures of different situations in which they may use English (listening to lectures, using the phone and so on) and ask students how comfortable they are in those situations. Rating systems with smiley faces and frowning faces help to convey the point. Set the test out so that it goes from really easy to gradually more difficult and the students can stop when the questions get too tough.
