If so, you\u2019re not alone! Even native-speaking tutors find them intimidating. To make these lessons less nerve-wracking, let\u2019s go over some specific needs that many advanced students have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Precision\"><\/span>Precision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many advanced students want to speak more precisely. For example, on the topic of mosquitoes, a student might say, \u201cMosquitoes put their eggs in water that is not moving.\u201d And it sounds OK, but \u201cMosquitoes lay eggs in still water\u201d is clearer and gets the point across in fewer words. Advanced students will appreciate us teaching them phrases like \u201clay eggs\u201d and \u201cstill water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can we do this? Say we\u2019re discussing the article <a href=\"https:\/\/app.engoo.com\/daily-news\/article\/uber-wants-to-develop-flying-taxis-by-2020\/IV4NPMX2EeeKDH_WIKwljQ\">Uber Wants to Develop Flying Taxis by 2020<\/a> with an advanced student. They may say something like, \u201cI think flying cars are a good idea, because otherwise we can only travel on roads, and our roads are already filled with cars. However, I\u2019m afraid that there may be accidents.\u201d You can do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Type what the student has said and send it to them in the chat box.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Work together to brush it up. Say, \u201cYou used the word \u2018accident\u2019. What\u2019s a word that more precisely describes road accidents?\u201d They should be able to come up with \u201ccollision\u201d (one of the vocab words listed in the lesson). Then ask if they know a word that captures \u201cfilled with cars\u201d. If they say \u201ctraffic\u201d, they\u2019re halfway there. \u201cCongestion\u201d is even better, but let\u2019s take things one big word at a time.<\/li><li>When you\u2019re done revising, send the new sentence to your student.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of this exercise, perhaps the two of you will have come up with: \u201cI think flying cars are a good <strong>solution<\/strong> to <strong>congestion<\/strong>, but I\u2019m <strong>concerned about the possibility of<\/strong> <strong>collisions<\/strong>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/05\/12015138\/how-to-correct-an-advanced-student.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1114\" width=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/05\/12015138\/how-to-correct-an-advanced-student.png 624w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/05\/12015138\/how-to-correct-an-advanced-student-300x156.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Your student now has the \u201cbefore and after\u201d versions before their eyes. It\u2019ll be clear to them how much better the \u201cafter\u201d version is and they\u2019ll be infinitely grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Naturalness\"><\/span>Naturalness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have noticed that many advanced speakers sound awkward when they talk about seemingly simple topics. For example, they might say \u201cI got a reduction in price\u201d instead of \u201cI got a discount.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This clunkiness results from them focusing on fancy words at the expense of easy ones. Often, these students learn English from more formal sources and neglect conversational English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, even advanced learners are influenced by their native tongue. For instance, European students who speak English fluently will still say things like, \u201cI took coffee (at the cafe)\u201d instead of \u201cI had coffee.\u201d Or they\u2019ll call \u201clettuce,\u201d \u201csalad\u201d (the name of that vegetable in their language).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/05\/12015143\/salad-lettuce-confusion.png\" alt=\"salad lettuce confusion\" class=\"wp-image-1115\" width=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/05\/12015143\/salad-lettuce-confusion.png 623w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/05\/12015143\/salad-lettuce-confusion-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t be surprised if your advanced student still makes grammar mistakes (like forgetting to use the plural) or sticks to simplistic grammar rules they picked up at school. As you may have noticed, many students\u2019 go-to future tense expression is: \u201cI will (see my doctor tomorrow).\u201d Encourage them to review our lessons on alternative expressions of the future, such as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/teacher.app.engoo.com\/lessons\/im-going-to-cook\/dsnTClRPEeeuUoes6UQx5w\">I\u2019m gonna see my doctor<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/teacher.app.engoo.com\/lessons\/im-cooking-tonight\/2UhhhKHbEeeT-5-mqpgzng\">I\u2019m seeing my doctor tomorrow<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These may sound like very minor corrections, but advanced students who care about sounding more natural will cherish them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pronunciation\"><\/span>Pronunciation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Most advanced students sound fine already, but many want to sound even better. However, the definition of \u201cbetter\u201d varies from student to student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who have lived abroad or regularly watch English movies may sound natural when they say whole sentences, but want targeted help with certain words or sounds. For example, a tutor (\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded) noticed that some of her advanced students would pronounce, \u201cprobably,\u201d \u201cprolly\u201d!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other students may want to work on sounding more natural by practicing linking, sentence stress, or rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the case, point out the student\u2019s weaknesses and provide some sort of explanation. For instance, I knew an advanced English-speaker who would pronounce \u201csimilar\u201d as \u201csimular\u201d. I corrected him and suggested that he was most likely confusing the word with \u201csimulation\u201d. Rather, he should associate the word \u201csimilar\u201d with \u201csimile.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps you\u2019ve noticed an advanced student who struggles to contract words. Even if they see \u201cshe\u2019ll,\u201d they say \u201cShe will.\u201d Have them practice saying different contractions, such as \u201cI\u2019m\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s\u201d and \u201cThey\u2019re.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then at the end of the lesson, review the words, phrases, and sentences they could improve on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%91%8B_Thats_it_for_now\"><\/span>\ud83d\udc4b That\u2019s it for now!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully this gives you an idea of what types of improvement advanced learners want. Next time you get a higher-level student, keep your ears peeled for how precise they are, how natural they sound, and whether they\u2019re mispronouncing anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more targeted your feedback, the better. Advanced students appreciate the little things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on advanced students, check out this blog post: <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/10\/tutoring-advanced-students\/\">Important Things to Know Before Tutoring Advanced Students<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do advanced students make you nervous?
