The importance of friendship in TESOL classroom

There is no harm in making friends in TESOL class. There are many reasons why a person hesitates when approaching his classmates. He / she may be self-conscious and afraid to participate, because he / she has no confidence in his / her English ability, or because they are too shy to approach. Therefore, this is why the role of TESOL teachers is very important to break this barrier.

TESOL teachers can use a simple activity, such as asking students to talk and think about a topic. Playing games will be a good start for students to get along better with their classmates and have continuous discussion among them. TESOL teachers can also promote group activities to motivate shy students to participate. It would be great if a shy student could make friends with a very attractive classmate and the student could influence him / her to learn English better.

Practicing speaking English with people you know is a good start to hone your English skills. Just a simple informal conversation will help. If TESOL teachers' students have good motivation and the goal is to speak, write and understand English fluently, this will be a good reason for them to make friends in TESOL teachers' classroom. This may be a good opportunity to practice the lessons they learned from school with friends. Practice makes perfect. Interesting exchanges will also attract students' participation, so they have established a friendly relationship. Having friends in the classroom will make you feel like you belong to this group. Having friends is a part of life. It's absolutely not good for you to be separated from the world in the classroom.

Having a friend in the classroom, especially in a large group, will be a great help, because you two can interact and learn together and ask questions easily. If students encounter difficulties in dealing with the course, a friend in the classroom can help them better understand the course and how he / she understands the course. But TESOL teachers should be present to listen and make sure what he or she and his classmates teach is correct.

Making friends in TESOL teachers' class can partially stimulate students' motivation to come to class, just because they are happy to see them again, chat with them and study together. But in the final analysis, what matters is their thirst for knowledge.
