a "friendly" reminder for MYOB-training class

Hi dear trainees /students

just to remind you -to try -at least- to keep on with your homework...
I would like to properly use the 4 hours a week of English training -into improving your oral skills.
So I need you come ready to speak.... it means

1.- Prepare your class on time

2.- Listen the recorded stuff-mp3s

3.- Listen and watch the videos

- I know that it is very challenging to teach you-since it involves teaching a heterogeneous class as a whole class of individuals...

I am used to train people from a same o almost similar level or group...

Remember I cannot please everyone... some students may feel good/ok and some may feel a little bit frustrated.

Some like my way and some don't-it is a common deal -no worries at all -

=If you feel like you are not making progress-push hard-consult John C-

you have free online tools, such as: email-website-blogs...etc

REMEMBER::

you must work and dedicate yourself to improve your English on your own-your ET (English Teacher) is the one who should help you out,to facilitate(To make easy or easier) a successful trip in this-not so easy-journey of learning a new language.

You can have the best teacher in the world or change methods-books-teachers-schools-trainers..etc but if you don't start changing-on your own-your attitude towards learning ... it is not going to be successful.

Students should speak in class ::: 80%

Teachers should speak/giving clear directions/activities...::: just 20 %

don't give up... keep on

I know -on my own experience-that it is a little hard

regards

John C.
