PROFICIENCY LEVELS

I think that my favorite level to teach would be intermediate students because they are not going to feel lost with what i'm teaching them (as beginners would) and they will also need to be guided to a better understanding of EFL. That kind of student already has enough knowledge to be curious about learning more, and in my experience, when you realize that you know something enough to understand it, you try to upgrade your knowledge to a different level. The teacher in this case, is the one responsable to make the students go to the advanced level and this means being responsable of preparing the students well enough to face the challenges in advanced learning.
Well, i believe that i'm still an intermediate student, no matter what the university, and the course we are in say, i think this about myself because if i trust too much that i know too much, i'll stop being interested in becoming a better speaker, writter or listener of the language.
So people let's be the best intermediate learners.

Teaching accross age levels: children

For me every age level is difficult to teach giving that they all need to be treated differently like we spoke in class, but i preffer to teach children because i already had the experience with children and teenagers, and children are very intuitive, and if you are enthusiastic in the class, they are going to be as well, not as in the case with teens that don't care too much for the enthusiasm, but for how "cool" is the class.

Teaching children involves using all the aids possible to estimulate their senses; because, appart from getting them more interested in the topic, this will help them show their knowledge at home and anywhere outside the classroom, repeting the word or phrase they learned if they see the image, hear the sound, or feel what was thought in the classroom.

Teaching this youngsters might seem like an easy task because the topics to teach are: the colors, the animals, fruits and vegetables, etc. But is actually more complicated than that as we know. There will be children that will be more problematic than a teenager can be, or there will be situations where a child might cry, be traumatized, or get hurt physically and all those things make this age a rough path to go through. I know all this sounds really negative, but i'm not trying to scare you, i'm just pointing out things that everyone should be aware of.

Personaly, i love having children around. They bring life to the daily job of teaching, and is because they are so unpredictible, all they want to do is have fun, and this is something that us as teachers can use to make them learn; to make them think that all they are doing is having fun, when they are learning new things. Although, it is not as simple as it sounds, since this is all about creativity; but i know that if you really enjoy to move around, jump, play and be active, you will enjoy teaching little kids.
