I wonder how do people teach English. Languages are never easy to teach. It's something that is up to the individual to expose himself or herself to grammar usage and new vocab words in order to improve his or her reading or writing skills. I can speak English for 5 or 6 periods to a kid and yet when the kid goes home and speaks his/ her Mother Tongue language and refuses to read English storybooks, any improvement would only be very marginal. The good thing is his/ her Mother Tongue skills would be strong I supposed. I wonder if there must always be an offset when it comes to bilingual people.

What makes a good English teacher?
