Dear Sir/Madame;

I am an ESL teacher in the Philippines in a Korean language school for three months already; I need advice for the following:

1. I believe that reading alot of English books will improve a student's English speaking skills, how do I develop a reading program for my students in a one on one context?

2.How do I motivate them to study alone after classes, most of my students do not study after classes?


3. What are the advantages of a man to man English class? How can I harness its advantages to teach the student?


4. I have read four research journals on ESL Teaching and most of them say that the teacher should focus on drawing out the learning style and motivations of the student so that the student will take responsibility for his own learning. May you give me examples on how to accomplish this?

3. What are the characteristics of an excellent ESL Teacher? We will have a teacher's performance evaluation at the end of the month, and I am planning to ask for a raise. I want to develop the skills that will serve as my bargaining power with my employer? How do I negotiate for a raise?


Thank you very much in advance,
Bien
