What is the best way to learn English?
The best way to learn English is to engage yourself in communicative activities, such as role plays and information gap activities.
What are some successful teaching methods you use?
One effective approach to addressing this question is to prioritize developing lessons that incorporate a variety of activities designed to engage students in conversation and participation during class. The objective is to demonstrate your adaptability and versatility so that the interviewer can discern that your teaching techniques encompass more than just using worksheets and textbook exercises.
How do you make sure your students understand you?
One way to do this is to elicit responses from your students instead of spoon-feeding them answers.
For example:
- How would you describe the task that I’ve just assigned?
You might also want to mention that you frequently give your students quizzes and assessments designed to check their understanding. This can be done through a number of different exercises such as matching vocabulary words to definitions, fill-in-the-blank exercises and short writing activities.
Another thing to consider adding in your answer is the importance of teaching students how to ask for clarification when they don’t understand something.
