The most important thing is that they never have written hometasks. They only work on projects and speak English.
What's the reasoning behind this?

I suppose that when you choose your job as a teacher, especialy english teacher, you must be loved your job very much. So you will find your job interesting and really enjoy teaching. It will be not only simply a job but also your hobby, your passion.Do you really enjoy teaching or it's just a job for you? I'll be very glad to discuss it wit..;-)

Same to me, for the time being, I have four classes at school and 2 classess at home. Teaching creat mylife many interesting things.Sometimes I feel tired but just think of my students, they feel eager with my lesson. They have aspiration for studying english. So it is really an endless motive for me forget all the tired..and have really full of energives to enjoy my teachingSometimes I have two or three classes at school and two or three classes at home. Do you know why I'm never tired of teaching? Because I enjoy teaching and of course after each lesson I have a break when I relax. But you know every day at mignight I'm very tired and that's why I go to bed and sleep well till the morning.;-)

They are from different school. No one is my student at my school. yes sure, private lessons are so popular. But I think all of my students are equal in the chance to get more knowlegde of english. SO i never give them private lesson at home. I try do well my duty at the school. Teach them with what I have know. The students come to my classes at home, all of them are seem to be lost the basic knowlege of english and wanna to improve it. Some are really good and long for futher knowledge.Do you teach your students at home or they are from different schools?
Why I ask you because I never teach my students. I'm trying to teach them at school. Private lessons are very popular nowadays and if you are a good specialist you can have a lot of students at home. And when you teach one or two students at home the result is usually far better than at school.:-D

Reading is my favorite, so as a habbit I spend atleast 2 hours on reading. I often read all of the newspapers as well as magazines as long as they are written in english. besides it I also listen to BBC news and VOA stansard too. And I really find that by practising like that I can help my students in pronunciation. Sure, sometimes I check dictionary to find how the words pronunce. and ofcourse to help students speak these words correctly. As you know we are not native speakers so learning english as a second language required alot of practices.I usually work at improving my knowledge. I listen to BBC and CNN news on TV, I read books at least 5-10 pages a day, I read dictionaries etc. I read dictionaries because my students sometimes make mistakes in pronunciation, I correct them, of course, but their mistakes come to me. So I have to read these words in dictionaries. How about you?:?:

Native speakers also make mistakes in their writing. ;-)
It is obviously that you are right. Even my mother tongue, some of my students always get wrong in spelling. Misunderstand between L and N. So to learn any language needs alot of practices and spend much time.Do you think native speakers don't make mistakes in their speech? If yes, you are mistaken. They do and very often. So not only foreigners but also native speakers have to brush up their English from time to time.;-)

I think my mother toungue is not really easy. It only easy when you got a basic grammar and you have to come through a period of study.if not, you will get mistake easily even when you are older. And I agree with you that some mistake in english is not strange.Is the spelling of your mother tongue easy? For example the spelling of English isn't easy at all. That's why even native speakers make mistakes. For me it's very important to find ways out of this situation.;-)
I wonder how many mistakes english students make in their dictations. :?:
Teaching English is very interesting but it's more intersting learning English. I mean we teachers have been working for many years and we never stop learning ourselves. While teaching we find something new, something more intersting. So when we stop teaching we stop learning. But when we stop learning we just cant teach any more. Such is the process of teaching....
