One of the interesting aspects and challenges of teaching ESL is learning the cultural etiquette and customs of your students' countries. These differences are useful to know and are very interesting. They are helpful to me. One common misunderstanding that I had was that some of my students would not look at me directly when I taught. I thought they were bored. I learned though, that in their culture, looking directly at the teacher or an older person was a sign of disrespect.
This will be an ongoing series that I will write from time to time. I've created a page for this information. Click here to read.

ReplyDeletevery interesting and nice!Students when taught they have many views and notions running in their mind. If they are provided with a break after each topic to get understand and make queries about their misunderstanding and finally given answer logically. I think they would better understand a non-native language efficiently...
