What makes a good English lesson? 

Actually, what makes a great one?

I often ask my students this in the first lesson.

“What will make this a useful training for you? What do you want to be able to do by the end?”

It’s not always an easy question to answer, but once you have the answer, it means we (yes, it’s a team effort) can build a successful training for you.

Lessons need to be a place you’re happy to go to, whether online or in class. That doesn’t mean it’s 100% fun all the time (conditionals or phrasal verbs, anyone?) but you do need to understand what you’re learning and why. How will this lesson serve you? Will you be more confident in a meeting? Will you understand your Australian colleague better? Will you be able to chat at the coffee machine with that guy from Texas? Or make a spot-on comment on last night’s football match? So, depending on your goals, you’ll be getting different things from the lessons.

For students, it’s a little different as there’s a syllabus to follow – however, understanding what you’re learning and why still stands.
