Focus on teaching the mechanics of English grammar. According to the Pearson Longman English newsletter, students should practice grammar in different contexts because this will help them more quickly understand how to use grammar correctly. Have your students proofread texts for grammar mistakes, organizing them into groups to help speed up the learning process.
Give your students reading assignments of authentic works. Teachers of Longman English believe that the best reading exercise for students who are studying English as a second language is through reading texts that are written for native speakers. However, students need to know about 6,000 to 8,000 words to fully understand such texts, so this is not an appropriate method for beginners.
Use computers and language learning software. Pearson Longman offers teachers a wide range of software designed for the purpose of helping students improve their English skills. Use the software not only as a tool in class but also to make it possible for your students do homework.
Adjust the lessons to your students abilities. If you are teaching Longman English, you can get teaching materials very specific to your students abilities. For example, if you are teaching students at a very basic level, you should use books, notebooks, picture dictionaries and other teaching materials adjusted to that. For more advanced English, make sure to use material that will not bore your students.
