Bloom 7 October 2015 Good Teacher vs. Bad Teacher Students have all experienced good and bad teachers. Some students can sit in a class and want to learn and engage with a good teacher or the class could be extremely boring because of a bad teacher. The personality of Havelock Ellis is that of a student, thoughtful, preoccupied, bookish, deliberate; yet unlike most students he has a sort of grand air of Nature about him - a fine free head and figure as of some great god Pan, with distant relations among the Satyrs.

One of the things I’ve learned during my 20 years of work as a school director is that, no matter how good and committed a teacher is, he will never, ever make the learning happen unless the students are fully committed as well. We can teach but never learn for our students.

Learning a language requires effort, dedication, discipline and commitment from the student side.

Having that in mind I made a list of things adult students can do to make the most of their course. Please feel free to add to the list.

1. When in class be in class. Turn off your mobile and any other device that can serve as a distraction. Focus is important.
2. Have a pro- active attitude during the class. Ask questions, say so when you don’t understand something, ask for clarification, more than once if necessary. Teachers are patient and love student who ask questions.
3. If you don’t understand the reasons behind an activity, tell it to your teacher. Knowing why you’re doing something in class helps you to perform well.
4. If you prefer one kind of activity, tell your teacher. We understand that some students prefer specific activities and we know that people learn better when they enjoy what they are doing.
5. Trust your teacher!
6. Take notes during the class. It’ll help you revise latter on and even if you don’t revise the act of taking notes helps you to remember things.
7. After the class read your notes.
8. Organize a vocabulary notebook. And keep adding new words to it.
9. Whenever possible bring English to your life out of classroom: watch TV in English, it may be tough in the beginning but do not give up, the more you do it the better you’ll become. Read things you like in English-a magazine, newspaper, internet…
10. Join a conversation class/group.
