(I am an English teacher in Thailand teaching students age 12-16/17)
Strict rules but reasonable
More tolerant to students
More patient with students
Less homework, because it works the other way around (they won’t do it at home, just before or during the lesson)
Less (physical) punishment. When giving a punishment it should be a useful one.
More rewardings
Use of different techniques per class / age
Use of different approach per class / age
Make lessons more fun and enjoyable
Students should look forward to English lessons
Accept consequences if not following rules (cancel the ‘always pass’ policy)
Changes should come from two ways (Student-Teacher / Teacher-Student)
More youth related subjects (nowadays trends)
Students should more participate with own interests (subject request to teachers for next lessons)
