Hi,
I would like to know if anyone can help me with becoming an english teacher. I was born in London and lived there for 11 years, then my family decided to come and live in Spain. Due to the economic situation, I see myself with the obligation of offering private english lessons to earn some money and not become homeless.
I have very little knowledge of grammar but I recently got Grammar in Use (Intermediate level) by Raymond Murphy and although I dont know why I say this and that in a particular way, if I look it up and read it several times I understand it without much difficulties, but I have to say...grammar is boring as hell.
My questions are: as a native with no experience teaching, How do I teach english? How do I structure a lesson? What do I focus on? and most important: Can I teach english without even mentioning grammar?
Many thanks.
