I initially found it interesting that writing has been classified as the most neglected skill in a TEFL classroom, but after thinking about my own teacher training experiences it is true that the most uncomfortable times are the quiet ones.

I think I would have created a lesson where students were also given the topic vs. a study section.

Should Students Be Allowed to Use Their Native Language in the Classroom When I first began teaching lessons during the TESOL Course I found myself almost automatically saying to the students, “English please,” after all it is an English class. However, I began to question myself about whether or not this was “correct” practice or if the students should in fact use their native language to assist them in the learning process.
