As I am a student, I do not have a lot of experience in teaching someone, but I like to do it and I am good at explanations in different ways.
If you are interested in how my lessons will look like, I am happy to describe them.

There are some options that depend on age and level:
1. Reading - including reading texts/articles (for all)
2. Learning grammar - tenses, word order, specific vocabulary, verbs, adjectives, etc. by doing speaking and writing exercises (for all)
3. Watching and listening to video clips - summarising (verbally and in written form) (for all)
4. Research - students will need to do some independent research on recent topics, e.g, strikes (for older)
5. Presentation (verbal/digital) - prepare a written summary of any topic they like with key details/key trends/key examples (for older)
6. Role play - to a student will be given different roles e.g. waitress, where they would need to communicate with "customer" to maintain dialogue (for younger)
7. Different games - games help young students to associate words with pictures, sounds or emotions, so it will be more interesting and easier to memorise, rather than learn from paper (for younger)

I think this program is efficient in a way to learn language and culture because every time students interact with real-life examples that gives them a real picture of English/Russian-speaking countries. If you know any other good strategies that you would like to use, happy to add them to our list.
