Modern teacher training is based on recent research on learning and memory, which suggests that scholastic success most closely correlates with the student's internal motivation, as well as the obvious basics (quantity of time spent studying and the individual student's ability or talent for learning a particular subject). Experienced teachers recognize that each student is unique, so the "best" method for some students may not be the best method for other students.

A problem in the question of teaching methods is the distinction between learning and performance, since assessment tests measure a student's short-term memory and mood at the moment of testing, and not necessarily the student's long-term memory. Some teachers with long experience teaching English abroad suggest that learning the local language is the responsibility of every ESL teacher.
