<description><![CDATA[One of the challenges I occasionally have with advanced ESL students is that they disagree with me about how the English language is used. There's a difference between the correct, formal English language and how the language is actually used by native speakers. This is one of the reason's that many EFL positions will prefer and even require native English speakers, as opposed to non-native speakers who may even have an advanced English degree.English language learners who study in their home countries are often exceptional when it comes to grammar skills. This is why it makes it a bit of a challenge for them when they try to communicate with native English speakers. And it makes it a challenge during some of my tutoring sessions. I have to develop enough trust with students so that they know I'm not leading them astray, and that people really do speak without using proper grammar sometimes, even highly educated people.--end--<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I love when teaching opportunities present themselves during my ESL tutoring sessions; especially when the opportunity allows me to teach something that goes beyond regular grammar.When teaching Past Tense pronunciation for regular verbs to ESL students, I often use a worksheet from Azar's Understanding and Using English Grammar. In a list of Past Tense verbs, they have the word &quot;loaded.&quot; Of course, in this context, &quot;loaded&quot; is the past tense of the verb &quot;load.&quot; I always ask students if they know what this word means. Every single student I've asked tells me the correct definition of the verb &quot;to load.&quot; I then ask if they know of any definitions for the word as an adjective not related to &quot;to load.&quot; No one ever knows. Do you?--end--<br/><br/>23 Vote(s) ]]></description>
