There are many ways to teach English, but it is cumbersome to find a perfect way to teach. Maybe it is impossible to find the perfect and easy way to teach. However, as we would consider(?) ourselves as decent educators, we just have to find effective ways to teach English well. It will be ludicrous to say that native speakers of English are the best English teachers. Just because one can speak English well does not mean that he/she is an excellent English teacher.To become a good English teacher, one must educate oneself to become one. In fact, a person has to have a desire to become a good teacher. Of course you can not deny that there are some gifted people who may not need any education or enthusiasm to become a good teacher. More power to those God gifted people. Well, I am sorry that I am not one of those people. I'll be afraid to use the word "gifted people". But, I can say with my heart that I have a sincere desire of wanting to become a good English teacher and I trained myself to become a good English teacher.
Students can see if you are a good teacher. They will have a respect for you.
It took me over five years to grasp what is needed to become a good English teacher. What I have learned may not be the best way to teach and may not bring a huge interest to many, but it sure worked for me and many students whom I had a pleasure of teaching.
Now, I'd like to share my teaching methods and strategies with you. The methods and strategies that I'm about to introduce maybe very basic and simple. It may bore you to death, but please bear with me.
Suppose if I were to teach English to a 20 year old native Korean, what advise should I give him? Let's first examine a 20 year old native English Speaker and look into the fact of how he can speak English well. It is obvious that the native English speaker had been exposed to, spoken to and listened English for 20 years. It does not take a miracle for any person to speak English well if he/she has spoken to and in English for 20 years. Can you imagine how many times he said 'Good morning' or 'how are you' in 20 years. Probably many, many, many times. So, if a 20 year old non-native speaker of English wants to speak English well, all he has to do is do the same thing that the native speaker of English did for 20 years. Did it bore you?
The moral of the story is that in order to learn another language
