What can a language teacher help with? A thread on language learning and the use of teachers. Let me preface this by saying I don't think a teacher is "necessary", what I'm doing instead is explore ways in which they are useful. 1/5

I don't think of teachers as guides or authorities - by this I mean that it should be the learner and not the teacher who decides what is the best material for them, in what order and how they want to learn things. 2/5

At A1/A2 level teachers can talk slowly using basic vocabulary - this can take the form of TPRS altho it's not necessary. Like everyone else, I also use the comprehensible input available online but a real human being is more fun to listen to and I feel more concentrated. 3/5

A teacher is also a guide to the lang's culture, esp. if you are learning one that is far away and hard to access where you live. A native's view on the history and habits of the people is a lot of fun to listen to and can help avoid lots of misunderstandings. 5/5
