Belen Vila

I teach through stories that students can understand easily because I adapt them to their level.

I make them 100% comprehensible through visuals, gestures, translations, and simple questions

I create stories asking simple questions to the students. They will answer with single words or short phrases. We focus on comprehension. Students are not forced to speak until they feel ready.

I focus is on understanding and engaging with the story, not on grammar rules.

I am passionate about teaching through stories because when students are engaged in a story, they forget they're learning a language and instead focus on understanding what happens next.

Stories provide context for vocabulary and grammar structures, making them more memorable and easier to internalize.

Most importantly, stories trigger emotional responses, which research shows enhances memory retention and makes learning more enjoyable and effective.
