A Teacher’s Perspective

As a teacher at Wall Street English you have the great fortune of seeing how a student’s life changes thanks to learning English. There is a very wide range of students, all with different objectives and with different needs, and this is both challenging and fun for teachers. There are professional people who want to obtain a new position at work, students who need to get a certificate to continue their university studies, other people of all ages who want to be independent when travelling abroad, and some who simply want to widen their cultural knowledge.

The Teacher’s Part in the Learning Process

At Wall Street English, students follow a learning cycle that begins with acquiring new language through listening, production and practice which takes place in the Speaking Center. After this step, students meet one of a team of teachers and two or three other students in order to review and check their understanding of this new language. This lesson is called an Encounter and is a key moment because the teacher gives detailed feedback and specific advice on how to go forward. It’s also a very satisfying moment for students to demonstrate what they have learned.
