"Make students understand the class"

It is necessary to have the correct knowledge and materials when a teachers is going to give a second language class which for beginners can be a challenge since they do not know how to deal with a class or maybe they feel afraid. Moreover, when students have a previous knowledge about the language, it is pretty important that teachers know which skills they are going to apply because if you give a lot of vocabulary or brunches of concepts they may feel overwhelmed;so, teachers must be careful to use limited number of new words, phrases and sentences in order to make a class understandable; so, teachers do not get frustrated if students do not get things at the first time they are developing a topic.

The teacher's role for  students that are beginners, it is important because they are expecting a lot of the teacher since they want to acquire the second language, and teachers need to make activities in which students can be working in groups or in pairs;and then, they are going to have an idea when the teachers want them to share in the class; Moreover, teachers need to remember that students are focused on the things they are saying;so, it is pretty important that teachers use the secondo language clearly and also the vocabulary that they are going to use.

Furthermore, authenticity is important for teachers; they do not need to pretend with their students using log-terms that probably they are not going to understand, instead a teacher needs to use short phrases; for example, if they aregoing to give directions, teachers need to be pretty concise instead of going around the bushes.

Regarding intermediate levels teachers, they need to be constat with the proccess of acquiring a language; for example, make students keep automacity; this means, allow them the bits and pieces of the most important parts of the language. In addition, teachers must avoid to much teacher talking because learners are not going to be able to speak which is important for this leve; also, a teacher should use less the mothers tongue language but they are going to have cases in which the use of it, is important; for example, when a word is pretty difficult to explain or when a teacher has spent all the techniques in order to make students understand a word.

With advanced level, the way of learning is different for students because they are supposed to handle a situation in the target language; and also, let them to ask and to talk because at this level the things that they take into account is to communicate and keep on working on pronunciation and chunks.
