Determine the objectives of each Russian session
Speaking Russian fluently will not make you a good teacher. In the same way, knowing how to improvise is good for a teacher, but you have to be consistent.
To be consistent and know where you are going, you have to prepare your classes in advance.
In the first place, you will have to determine what the end goal is. For this, you will have the first class.
Based on this end goal, it will be up to you to set intermediate goals , which may make the end goal easier to achieve and show your student’s progress.
In each class, you have to define a mini objective and the student will be able to decide if at the end of each class they have been successful or not. For example:
- Succeed in an exercise
- Learn an important date of Russian civilization
- Choosing a book to read in Russian literature
- Learn a new declension
- Know how to introduce yourself in the Russian language
- Perfectly understand authentic native audio …
Be careful to adapt the objectives according to the students. Each student must have personalized intermediate goals for their work to be effective.
