nani asked:


I was wondering how can I teach an adult English when they don’t even know their literacy in their own language.I have been teaching ESL to many adults and I’ve been able to teach them English in less than a year(if they know their grammar). But when I get to students that didn’t have the change to go to school in their native country.I try to teach them the grammar in their own language but it is still very hard for them. Is there a book or anything that would make learning English easier for them.

I believe I saw a post for an overseas position and it said it doesn’t require knowing the student’s language to teach them English. How would you teach them English w/o knowing their language?
Is it usually a big class you have to teach?
