TEACHING ACROSS PROFICIENCY LEVELS

Teaching Beginning Levels

There is a number of points that must be taken into account when teaching this three levels: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. 

 Students`cognitive learning processes

For basic levels in the first days and even weeks the target language will be focused on repetition , you do not to worry if time goes on a lesson remember that students must assimilated it as possible.

For intermediate levels structures  rules and patterns are increasing and that leads to automatic process into students`mind.

For advanced levels students are gaining the confidence to develop in a real environment by applying interactive communication but still details need to be shaped.

The role and the teacher talk

For beginners  levels the teacher is the center and he or she have to be careful with the vocabulary he uses an the speed he talks.

For intermediate levels  the students become the center and now  they are encouraged by the teacher to speak.

For advanced levels  Student now are independent but the teacher have to channel their abilities into the class work by guiding them. Natural speed in the language is required.

Authenticity of language

For beginners levels students must know the language as it is with simple greetings an introductions.

For intermediate levels teachers must be careful with the grammar doubts that student have because students do not have to worry about it too much.

For advanced levels teacher must provide every material from academic prose in order to increase their students` vocabulary.

.Student creativity

For beginners levels students are not forced to produce creativity only with the guide of the teacher.

For intermediate levels  students feel more hunger of knowledge and now are capable to apply the classroom language to unrehearsed situations.

For advanced levels students are able to apply classroom material to real situations.

Techniques

For beginners levels  the teacher have to apply a variety of techniques very simple to understand.

For intermediate levels the teacher may search for more complex techniques because of the increasing vocabulary of the students.

For advanced levels now the variety of techniques are infinitives because the student is able to understand any context.

Speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar skills

For beginners levels students have to start practice all the skills in small amounts.

For intermediate levels students keep on training all the skills, they become more complex.

For advanced levels the skills have specific purposes, they are progressing in complexity.
