Proficiency levels

There is an order that allows the students to learn little by little in the learning process, and it is divided in three sections: beginning levels, intermediate levels, and advanced levels.
The beginning levels seem to be easy, but they are not. Since the student has little or no prior knowledge of a foreign language, the teacher is responsible to teach as much as he/she can because it will help in the others levels. The educator has to talk a lot because the student has to retain the vocabulary to talk later.  The simple techniques have to be used at these levels, for they are more understandable.

The intermediate levels suppose the student have progressed in the fluency, writing, reading, and listening. It is crucial that the students talk with a good fluency and use proper vocabulary.  The teacher helps them to correct their own mistakes, and the methods and techniques should be more complex.
The advanced levels let the student to explore and answer their questions.

 The job of the teacher seems to be easier because students know more and he/she can explain in detail about something and they will know about what you are talking. The grammar and techniques are complex and difficult.

TEACHING  ACROSS THE AGE LEVELS
Teaching is one of the most important jobs; the learning process depends on the way the educator uses his/her techniques. To teach children is so different than to teach adults or teens because children take some time to understand some things than adults and teens can understand or are supposed to. And teacher have to know how to deal with each situation.

To teach children the teacher needs to know that they are very resentful. If the student answers a question and it is correct, the teacher congratulates the student or perhaps he gives him a candy. There some evidence that shows that cognition and affection are to principal factor in the student life.
Teachers need to help the student (adults, teens, children) to overcome such potential barriers to learning, but how? They can help all age students to laugh about each other mistake, this mean that mistakes have to be laughed in order to be fixed or corrected. Jokes and annoyed things is not permitted.

Also teachers have to be patient because all the students take time to learn; they do not be in a hurry to cover a lesson or a topic. For they learn little by little.
The educator has to teach the learner as much as possible new vocabulary because they like to talk about everything. There must be a coherence in the process, that means not only reading and writing but also listening and speaking.

Teaching seems to be a challenge for all the educators because they are different types of students and they learn different, so he must choose the methods and techniques that can be useful to create a good environment to the students to learn.
