About Marcelo
Firstly, in the first three months of the course, I diagnose the Speaking level of my student based on communicative aims by Real Listening and Speaking book by Cambridge University Press. This book is my guide for didactic sequence, so the focus here is to assess if the student is able to, with his knowledge, to achieve certain communicative objectives. For instance, for students to meet the “Order a Meal in a Restaurant” goal, I’m going to propose a series of exercises to assess grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation knowledge of the students so they can achieve this aim, always contextualizing situations in which this objective is required. That’s what I call “Diagnosis”. So, being aware of the students’ needs, I plan a number of classes to address this objective, assuring the personalization of my work. Besides that, I teach Time Management, Survival English and Travel English topics, which are essential in adult life. The students perform an Oral Test from time to time, not only to get graded, but to verify where the student should focus his attention and in which aspects can my planning add to the improvement of my students in their specific goals.

Hello! Teacher Marcelo Franco here! I'm an English teacher for more than 15 years! Being on the road for so much time, I got used to listen to my students' main difficulties: listening and speaking! If you got to this add and is an intermediate level student, maybe reading this text is not a problem to you. After all, the skill that Brazilian students master the most is Reading due to our English teaching system characteristics. However, the problem is when these same students speak the language! That's why I created the "Listening and Speaking for Real" Course. Do you know that, according to the teaching technique used, the four English skills may develop in different levels? That's why we have advanced reading students, but with listening and speaking skills in a basic level. We all now that English is a necessity because it's used not only to communicate with native speakers, but with non-native international learners. So, people who want to travel, work and study abroad should develop at least a Listening and Speaking Intermediate Level. That's why I try to boost my students' confidence, showing them the importance of focus, discipline, time and limiting beliefs management which can interfere in their learning development. I'm aware that students cannot live by content alone and that, as adults, they have their own responsabilities. So, in my classes, I try to work with adult life themes. I also believe in stablishing clear communicative objectives that will be developed by the students, based on a diagnosis of where the student is and where he's heading to, regarding his English skills.
My classes have the following structure - Recap - which is the moment where I recall previous knowledge studied in previous classes; Exposition - where I expose the content in a dialogical way; and Practice - the part of the class in which the student will produce language with what he had learned. However, there are moments in which conversation takes place through all the class. I try to diversify topics and types of class so it is engaging. If you're a B1 student and you can't keep a simple routine conversation, such as asking some food in a restaurant; know how to shop for clothes, being aware that measures there are different; or if you can't prepare a presentation to express your ideas, then "Listening and Speaking for Real" is the course for you!
