Recently, I've started one-on-one tutoring to a variety of Japanese adult language learners. Those learners often have very different language-learning goals. One student will soon start a job for which English is required; another plans to marry an American and move to the States; still another travels regularly and wants to be able to make conversations while there.
As I read this unit, I tried to find which external exam would be appropriate for each student. The first student will likely need to take the TOEIC. For the second, the TOEFL would be more appropriate. The third is the most difficult for me, since that student wants to focus on casual, everyday English communication. She studied abroad in America when she was younger, so perhaps TOEFL would be the most comfortable for her. On the other hand, TOEIC is the most widely recognized in Japan. Regardless, I've started thinking more about how a student's goals influence the tests they can take to motivate their progress.
There are a lot of options out there, and it can be really hard to choose the right materials to teach students and the right tests for which to prepare them. This unit was a helpful starting off point--as well as a reminder to approach each student in a methodological way, assessing their starting point and their progress and their achievements.
