the student who enjoys being the centre of attention, who finds relief and diversion from loneliness or boredom in 1x1, the student who is sent by a boss: for example, the overworked secretary or PA expected to double as translator or interpreter, the student who is anxious about his or her future career, who thinks that English is a necessary accomplishment, the student whose current communicative needs are not as important as future ones. For example, a student who dreams secretly of abandoning a present job and going to live in an English-speaking country, the student whose motivation in intrinsic, and based on a genuine interest in the culture of the foreign language, the student whose interest in the language is academic and not really for everyday communication at all, the student whose competence exceeds his or her confidence. For example, a highly advanced student whose only limitation is lack of confidence and who needs to be weaned away from dependence on a teacher (eg by teaching self-study or acquisition skills), the student who is attracted by the prestige or marketing allure of an expensive one-to-one course; who wants to be in with the best, the student who wishes to compete with a friend, colleague or subordinate whose foreign language skills are embarrassingly superior, the student whose real learning problems are principally psychological and hopes for a magic cure from one-to-one, the student whose real interests and involvement with life have very little to do with his or her job, or stated ‘communicative needs’, the student whose classes are being paid for by their company but whose company are not giving them the time to take the class seriously,
