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
