A brief overview of the content of Unit 19 on Teaching Special Groups, I learned of the five typical different groups you will encounter when teaching English. These include Beginners, Individual Students, Business English, Young Learners, and Multi / Mono language classes. Beginners are able to be divided further in to five sub categories including Absolute Beginners who know nothing, False Beginners who simply forgot most of the material before, Adult Beginners who are obviously adults, Young Beginners who are obviously young, and Students Without the Roman Alphabet; those students typically go by a character based writing system that is much more extensive than the roman alphabet. There are many advantages and disadvantages, things to consider, and facts about each group. The most important thing is to consider their motivations (self motivated or are they tired from working all day), the number of students and their language (are their lots of multi or mono lingual students, or are you doing one on one?) and lastly that Business English is 90% the same as General English!
