Default Which Method?

Everything I know about teaching English as a second language in Spain I’ve learned from experience - trial and error. I used to feel insecure about not having any formal training or not following a specific method but not anymore. I’ve learned what works and doesn’t work from my students. Teaching is listening and coaching. It doesn’t matter how you do it.

It’s interesting to discuss the latest language acquisition theories and methodologies but when you’re limited to two visits a week to teach busy adults at their place of work the English they need to function in their jobs you have to come up with solutions to their immediate needs.
