Teacher with a master's degree in English gives general or conversation classes in English for all audiences
Teacher for 20 years, holder of a master's degree in English, having lived in an English-speaking country for 5 years, I give, at the learner's choice, general English lessons, reverse pedagogy lessons (see explanations below ) or English conversation lessons. I am indeed keen to offer the learner a course that meets their expectations and needs as best as possible. Because it is not easy to dare to express yourself in a foreign language, I like to work in a caring atmosphere, without judgment, sometimes speaking French when it reassures the learner.
Keep in mind that the most important thing is practicing oral comprehension/expression. An hour of conversation lessons allows you to practice the language orally for an hour, with only brief corrections of your errors and a quick reminder of the vocabulary/grammar you are missing. If you wish to go more in-depth into grammar, vocabulary and written comprehension, it is advisable to favor courses lasting 1h30 to 2h to reserve a minimum of 1h for practicing expression and oral comprehension.
You then have two options:
1. In a one-hour general English course, allow 15 minutes of grammar, 15 minutes of written comprehension and vocabulary, 15 minutes of oral expression and 15 minutes of listening comprehension. So plan on a two-hour course if you want to have a minimum of 1 hour of oral expression/comprehension (30 minutes of each).
2. If you want to opt for a more economical solution, you can also count on a 1h30 course and follow a reverse teaching course. You will then have one hour of lessons in the presence of the teacher during which you will concentrate solely on practice (conversation and oral comprehension). You will also have around an hour of work at home which will be more focused on theory (grammar, vocabulary, written expression and written comprehension). This is a self-paced course and you have an answer key to help you spot any errors. It is of course appropriate to ask your questions about time in the presence of the teacher, but these are more questions of a practical nature because they are then guided by your individual difficulties. It is the complete opposite of a traditional course where the theory is seen in class (in the form of general explanations by the teacher, which are the same for all learners) and the practice is worked on at home (although often in the form of application exercises, without always having the possibility of benefiting from answers to one's questions because the time devoted to theory allows little to answer the learners' questions): this is why we speak of inverted pedagogy. A reverse pedagogy course requires more preparation time and you will therefore be charged thirty minutes of preparation time for the independent course.
Only courses in flipped teaching are accompanied by work to be done at home.
