Conclusions

Teaching adults may seem easier, since they are supposed to understand the importance of learning. But the fact is that belonging to adulthood does not necessarily mean being mature. Besides a teacher must always remember that students are individuals, they don't learn as a group, each one learns in his/her own level and speed. It may be difficult when dealing with large classes, but applying the appropiate techniques and realizing the advantages of it, no class should be impossible to perform.

Classes had to be motivating for the advanced students as well as the intermediate level students; activities had to be challenging for the first group and for the second group the activities had to be a means to facilitate the learning of the foreing language.

To sort difficulties I tried to write down all the situations or words or anything that I came across with in order not to forget them and get over them in a next class. An important tip is to make everyone participate, maybe not in one class, make I always made sure that everyone had to participate at least once. I remember a good example of motivating a student of the class. During one activity, student had to complete a handout that would receive a mark, so it was supposed to be individual. While I was walking around the classroom to check the students' progress I noticed two students copying a classmate's work. I stood close to them, and of course they stopped it. So, I asked 'do you really need to copy? I don't think so, I think you can do it by yourself'. So, I read the first sentence that had to be completed, and asked the students 'well, as you see yo u have to complete these according to the first and second conditionals. Up here you have a box that contains the structure of each, so, in this sentence, as you can see in the box, you have to write the past tense  of this verb, or not?'. The students realized they had a help to complete the sheet, because of course most students dont read a handout completely. I continued explaining, 'so, as you see in the box, what do you have to write here?'. By the end of the worksheet, the students realized they did know the contents, they just were not thinking appropiately. They saw that they could do it, because I told them that, that by only using their minds they could do anything they proposed to.

The motivation of a teacher is an indispensable factor for an effective class and the improvement of them; this motivation has to do with the desire of the teacher to participate in the education process. Motivation is seen as an attitude towards teaching and the progress of the class. One great advice to have into consideration is that in order to have motivated students, they must have a motivated teacher.
