I try to teach my adult students the skills that they’re going to need to succeed in the exam (BULATS)and in the workplace by themselves, without me. I know that once they leave the classroom, they’re not going to be able to reply on me. So, I try to make them realize that they’re responsible for their own studying, that they need to participle actively in their lifelong independent learning. And, I strongly believe that getting students involved in a variety of web-based tasks, including reading the web texts, summarizing information found on web pages, doing quizzes as homework practices, or sharing lists of vocabulary and discussion of favourite websites with others through the platform, is a great benefit to the adult students so as to widen their knowledge on both business and social contexts.
Indeed, I rarely use any technological tools in my classes due to the time constraint and the lack of equipment provided by most of the centers. However, I would introduce and encourage the utilization of web-based source materials to them, since these free online authentic materials are excellent tools for the students to deepen their understanding of the subject study along with the limited class lessons.
