Of course, if you tutor only one learner, you may be able to determine and respond more to that student's preference. It's particularly important, however, to help students develop other styles as well. Overall, take care not to overload learners, and keep lessons enjoyable Direct listening and viewing by giving background information, doing prediction exercises as a preview, and assigning a few comprehension questions arranged in order of their occurrence. Meaning should be the aim of listening, not parroting what is said. Comprehension is the aim of pronunciation for students.
Accents are acceptable if a native speaker can understand the learner.
Use songs and chants to reinforce pronunciation and correct stress. Spiral, teach and re-teach later in greater depth. Communication should be stressed over form. Don't correct communication errors if students are communicating successfully. Note a problem and give attention to it later.
