I have 6 years experience teaching English as an additional language. In my lessons students will be encouraged to express themselves in a safe environment.Lessons will be mainly focused on academic language,literacy and vocabulary. Reading, writing and vocabulary exercises are essential building blocks for developing language fluency, but it is only part of what is needed. Students who appear fully fluent in English may nonetheless struggle to express themselves effectively in academic settings, as they lack the words and phrases needed to connect their ideas and discuss them with others. Student will be encouraged to tell stories in a variety of mediums: drawing, poetry, visual art, drama, essays, etc.
Students will be motivated to speak and write about their lives regularly in casual, low-stress ways without forcing them to share
They will also be allowed to use their native language and/or translation apps
