There are some more advices how not to get disheartened when you have to teach beginners

1. 
   Simplify your language
   

Don’t be too fast. Be very slow so that they feel good about listening to you. Sometimes, you will to ‘act’ to make them understand. Don’t feel shy to act. Use simple words.

2. 
   Observe successful teachers
   

Some teachers are astounding in their approach and presentation. There is nothing wrong if you sit in their classes and observe how they handle the session. Let not your ego prevent you from learning good methodologies which can mould you as a teacher. Don’t let the ego tell you that you know ‘everything’.
All the teachers must realize that the rapport that you build with your students is the first step towards successful teaching. If there is an emotional gap between you and your pupils, the learning process will lack depth. Plan for your ‘first day’ class creatively. As you know, the first impression is always the best impression.

3. 
   Use of dictionary
   

If a language teaching session is to be effective, the learners must be encouraged to use dictionaries. As children search for words, they learn a lot of words. Language sessions must be full of activities. They must be student centered. Many a time the teacher plays passive role. If your session is dominated by your voice, then reconsider the strategy. English classes must be boisterous but under the control of the teacher.

4. 
   Say ‘no’ to traditional question papers
   

Don’t be a victim of traditional question papers that are full of ‘fill in’ exercises. Question papers must be appealing to the students. Don’t just focus on grammar. Add passages that will require the use of dictionary (19).
Beginners’ question papers must have crosswords, scrambled words, pictures (family tree, emotions), and dictionary pages for exploration. Add anything that will arouse curiosity in the learners (Pic.5).
