Teaching Capsules – Practical tips for in-company teachers

·         Adults seek learning a language to be able cope with a change they are undergoing or is going  to come.

·         Learning is a means to an end. Results are expected to take place quickly.

·         As the end means  to be able to perform a certain action with the language, the best way to plan a course is base it  on “functions”(what he/she will be able to do with the language).

·         Different ranks should not be placed together; generally the Manager finds it uncomfortable to undergo trial- and- error ventures in front of his subordinates.

·         Being punctual is crucial. Not only to start the lesson but to finish it as well.

·         The teacher should be ready to accept different viewpoints and be able to establish the connection between them.

·         In-company pupils take their lesson as a break from their work, the activities should be varied and short. Case studies and role playing are advisable, though the  former are better for intermediate or higher levels. Role playing suits all levels .

·         He room should be comfortable and if possible isolated from interruptions ( mobile phones are attention enemies).

·         Adults have the tendency of challenging methods and plans.The key to the teacher is “control”; it is her/him who has to decide what is to be done. Being polite but firm.

·         Homework should be avoided or , at least , voluntarily done.

·         Assessment exercises are useful to help learners see how much they have improved.

Tips for in-company teachers

Nos encontramos dando charlas cortas en las oficinas de dueños de empresas de in-company English. Trabajamos con sus profesores asociados y les damos tips en como hacer para que sus alumnos ejecutivos practiquen sin tener que hacer "deberes", en como hacer para retomar temas con un grupo donde pareciera que sus alumnos se turnan para faltar sin que los que sí asistieron sientan que pierden el tiempo, les damos ideas de como practicar la gramática sin que los ejecutivos encuentren la clase tediosa ó poco moderna, les recordamos que la clase de inglés es una especie de recreo que los saca de sus intensas actividades y que ésta debe enseñar sin presionar, etc, etc.
