ESOL teaching

Approaches to teaching ESOL vary according to the culture of the student. Teaching methods in other countries can be very different and often a student expects the same teaching method here that they have experienced at home. In some cultures, evaluation of material is rarely taught and students are merely passive recipients of a teacher's largesse in class. Some students from repressive, conservative cultures, such as Pakistan for example, allow the freedom they have in this country go to their heads and become impossible to deal with. Of course, the quality of students and nature of colleges play their part.
