16- How do the teachers who speak English in class teach the students whose knowledge of English is at zero level to speak English?
Understanding the answer to this question will be easier if we take into account the way children learn words during the early years of their lives. After birth, children are not able to speak to their parents with their tongue. Without a particular attention, children at last learn to talk their mother tongue. They acquire the understanding and ability and of using language as their parents constantly repeat a word or phrase while demonstrating the meaning of their purpose with their movements. Thus, without any particular attention to this issue, they master using their language at various situations. Through speculation they learn that words do not exist in gaps. However, adult learners have an advantage over children learners. Due to their mature attitude, they are aware that the teachers’ aim for role playing is to demonstrate the language that they are trying to learn. Moreover, the student has the ability of imitation for the purpose of learning. Therefore, EFL teachers (teachers of English as a foreign language) must not only apply the above mentioned methods but also enhance their skills for the efficient usage of these methods in order to become skilled, confidant and well-trained teachers of English as a foreign language.
17- How long and when should I study English?
Most of the people, intending to learn English, can generally make usage of the designated lessons for the enhancement of comprehension, reading and writing. Attaining these lessons is usually on the long term and achieving the native like fluency is possible after 600 hours of study. In accordance to your present level of English language and the particular time limitation of these classes, they last from several months to whenever you feel like studying. Classes of the duration of ten hours or over ten hours are usually considered as intensive classes. Classes of two or three months or less length are usually only designed for putting an emphasis on listening and speaking skills. However, such classes are for those who intend to make progress in their English and be able to speak within the minimum time possible and are mainly for people with limited time. Basically, short intensive classes, attempt to focus on a limited range of words and grammatical structures. It is expected that the students can both learn and also make use of them with the limited time span of these classes. It is expected that this method is sufficient for helping the learners to achieve their goals for learning the English language.
