How to Adapt Activities to All Levels

Teaching English in Egypt is one of the most complicated jobs today. It demands broad knowledge of subject matter, curriculum, and standards; enthusiasm, a caring attitude, and a love of learning; knowledge of discipline and classroom management techniques; and a desire to make a difference in the lives of people. 

The two main qualities of a good teacher are enthusiasm and patience.  A teacher needs these two qualities to develop and help his/her students develop. 

 Even an English teacher  with a 'bad' method can get material across to students if he/she has enthusiasm for the subject and doesn't go a pace that suits only a few. A teacher needs to acknowledge that maybe the activity, level, or even  the pace doesn't suit all and needs adjustment/modification.

  

When an English teacher can smpathize with the weakest student then he/she will be successful in really helping his students improve. 

There is so much we have to do to help our students learn. We are always trying to find the best way to help them even if it's not quite following the curriculum. Sometimes, not following the curriculum is not an option for many teachers and for those that do have some flexibility are within certain boundaries.

As for me I think the main features for any teacher: to be skillful,competent(to be able to teach), to be positive, to be an example to motivate your pupils and students!This is what we learned in PCELT. We applied what we learned with elementary level. Some of the activities we learned can be easily adapted to adults others cannot, what do you PCELTers think how can all activities be adapted to all levels.
