TEACHING ENGLISH IN MOHÁCS

Pleasure and difficulties

• Teaching English 9 lessons per week in the Széchenyi primary school in Mohács

• Teaching English to children from the age of six to the age of twelve

I FOUND PLEASURE IN TEACHING

• My first task: memorizing the learners` names• My opinion about being a good teacher• My attitude towards the children whom I teach

• Teaching is a challenge because every age-group needs different teaching methods

• The hardest task is to teach first-year learners• Singing English songs• The importance of humour in solving problems

DIFFICULTIES THAT CAN HARDLY BE SOLVED

• The biggest problem is the terrible discipline of the pupils

• My task is to to find solutions in the near future to avoid shouting or giving bad grades

• I have to find out how to make the English language interesting and important to learn
