The term 'beginner' tends to strike fear into the hearts
of inexperienced teachers. However, many teachers
claim that teaching beginners is one of the most
rewarding and enjoyable aspects of EFL teaching.
Because the term 'beginner' has such a range of
connotations, it is often helpful to think in terms of
categories of beginner. Bear in mind that these terms
aren't mutually exclusive, and that many students will
fall into two or even three categories:

The absolute beginner – students who have no English at all.
The false beginner – students may have studied or been exposed to English previously but have not retained much
language. They will probably be able to produce a few simple structures.
The adult beginner – adult beginners will often have made their own decision to learn English and as a result will
usually be highly motivated.
The young beginner – younger beginners often lack motivation as they haven't usually made the choice to study and
cannot see the benefit of learning the language. Younger beginners do tend to pick language up far more easily than
their adult equivalents.
The beginner without Roman alphabet – such students will need a lot of initial work on basic literacy skills. A lot of
reading and writing practice is necessary.
