Listening to audio and residing with it can also prove to be beneficial . 4.Engage them. Teachers need to keep the students engaged so that they are always interested to respond . If the topic is least interesting and they start feeling bored the lesson will be of no use. One of the ways to make lesson engaging is by preparing some fun games or worksheets or tasks which involves competition and interaction between groups. To summaries it teaching beginner students is very important because they are the foundation for the teachers carrier and by that only can a teacher build up a good understanding among the students.
