It's their responsibility!

Note.- Inspired on: Hess, Natalie (2002) Teaching Large Multilevel Classes. CUP.

1. It’s them who have to learn! It’s them who have to want to. We as teachers can help them want to.
2. They have to monitor themselves (and can monitor the others in some way).
3. They need the language… for the games, for the communication in the class...
4. The bigger the effort the more they will learn.
5. What can I do, as a student, with the material and the classes so as to learn English?
6. It’s the same work both by the teacher and by the students: not only the teacher does have the"responsibility".
7. "Though we can have the best teacher, it’s them who have to make the effort, take risks, and exert the energy that demands learning English". (160)
8. It’s sensible to make them work in small groups or in pairs.
9. At the beginning of the course, elicit their concerns about learning English and learning at this very course. As well the expectations for this course.
10. "Allow the students to create study guides before a test". (160)
11. Make them get aware of their learning potential, get responsible for their learning.
12. About famous homework...They should do their homework: it’s their own business.
