Nowadays we live in an international society, where everyone can contact and talk with a person living in the opposite part of the world.
This can not be possible unless you know foreign languages.
A good foreign language teacher should make students reach an excellent language profiency.
It is obvious that it can only happen doing exercises about the speaking, writing, listening and reading aspects of language.
The first exercises should be about the speaking aspct of language.
A prepared teacher should improve the right pronounciation of words and promote language practising between students.
For instance, an useful experience is the linguistic exchange with other learners coming from abroad.
As a matter of fact, it could give students the possibility to learn both a new language and his culture.
The second exercises should be about the writing aspect of language.
The teacher has to show students grammar rules, but also different ways of writing.
It is clear that students need to do a lot of practise if they want to reach a high level of knowledge.
The more foreign texts they read the more they will get it.
In addition to this, another interesting activity could be finding a foreign language penfriend, in order to improve their writing skills.
The third exercises should be about the listening aspect of language.
Students need to improve their skills through listening as much as possible in foreign language.
The teacher, for instance, can make lessons using the language of study or can let learners listen to native speaker records or videos, through the use of new technologies.
The final exercises should be about the reading aspect of language.
Learners are advised to do exercises about texts' comprehension, but also read articles in foreign language.
What concerns the teacher, he should improve the vocabulary of students giving them diferent kinds of texts.
To conclude, knowing a foreign language is the key for gaining success in today's life.
A good teacher must provide all necessary skills in speaking, listening, writing and reading, but the final result depends only on student's engagement.
