Why is it important for TESOL teachers to build students' confidence (Part2)来源:TESOL总部网址:http://www.tefltesol.com.cn TESOL teachers will not build confidence by correcting students' mistakes excessively. Efficient TESOL teachers are always ready to help others and use all possible methods to point out the right direction for students. In order to promote understanding, TESOL teachers should help students find their mistakes and give examples to illustrate the correct language usage. When explaining students' mistakes, TESOL teachers can inject a little humor to make things easier, but don't make fun of students who make mistakes. Humor brings TESOL teachers and students closer, but humiliation creates obstacles. When planning courses, TESOL teachers should always set realistic goals, especially for beginners or students who are slow to learn. In this case, a lot of repetition and modification, as well as step-by-step guidance, are very important to build students' confidence. In addition, TESOL teachers can allocate more time for learning phase activities and create a more controllable environment to activate phase activities. TESOL teachers may also want to add some items that have been reviewed in class to their homework. In this way, these students will be able to finish their homework easily and feel that they have made some achievements at the same time. When choosing or designing homework, TESOL teachers should pay attention that homework inconsistent with students' level will only lead to frustration and failure. Each class has learner goals, and TESOL teachers usually want to see the results. TESOL teachers may expect students to learn everything they teach immediately, focus on grades, and ignore the emotional aspects of the learning process. Students who lack self-confidence always need the encouragement and recognition of TESOL teachers. Giving praise when appropriate and appreciating students' efforts in class will make the learning process more meaningful. If TESOL teachers continue to create a positive classroom environment, student participation will increase. As "practice makes perfect", TESOL teachers who know how to build confidence in students never have to worry about not seeing the results.
