I want a teacher who will take an interest in me as a person—
one who will try to discover discussion topics
that interest me. When I was teaching, one of the first
things I did was to try to find out what my students’ interests
were: hobbies, past employment, family, travel,
etc. The easiest, most accessible area of conversation is
oneself. The initial and intermediate stages of development
for the language student do not abound with
opportunities for coherent self-expression. Most of the
time, we language students feel fairly incompetent because
we cannot express ourselves adequately, as we are
accustomed to doing in our native language. Thus, if we
can discuss some little accomplishment we’ve had, or
something that we take pleasure in or are proud of, so
much the better.
