20. How to fill out an exercise



Tell your student that it's him who has to solve the exercise on his own.
Let's say, for example, an exercise on his coursebook. Ok, he may not know how to fulfill the exercise. Give him hints, but do not tell him the full "how" to solve it. Speak in English beginning through the end of the class.

Make him realize that using the dictionary is a great help to understand what to do, etc. If he keeps this way of doing exercises, you will help him become an autonomous learner.

And also, in the class, practice the grammar of that exercise, in an authentic communicative mode.
