How to teach to beginners

Success is easy to see at this level, and easy for the teacher to arrange. But then so is failure! Some beginners find that the language learning is more stressful than expected and reluctantly give up. However, if things are going well, teaching beginners can be incredible stimulating. The pleasure of being able to see our part in our students’ success is invigorating.


The first thing to remember is that absolute beginners have had no contact with English, for that reason you need to use different methodologies such as: Audio-lingual method, Total physical response.


Audio-ligualism Method: *this method emphasis on grammatical patterns with behaviorist theories of learning. This method affirms that the knowledge is the result of habits-formation (it response to a stimulus). 


Total Physical Response: This method is essential in beginner’s students; because the teachers need to such and to use different gestures for teach vocabulary, questions, etc. Try to develop specific gestures as codes for certain linguistic operations.

  1. How to teach beginners, is a good information about it; however, as you've written: it is easy; but also, is failure, I agree, by reason of, the most important level is beginners, owing to, they need principal criteria in this nivel if our students have got good bases in begginers levels; they will learn much more in other levels and their learning process will be ease for them.
