I believe that a student's success depends on the strength of the teaching they receive. I like to plan lessons that are not only effective but fun too. Doing so means tapping into that creative part of my brain. I use games that utilise comprehensible gestures and body language to impart meaning to a new student. Visual lessons and semantic storytelling are valuable ways of forming relationships between new data and prior knowledge. They harness a student's personal and cultural narrative. I encourage cooperative learning styles that facilitate students working together and sharing unusual words, idioms, and phrases. I also allow for alternative assessments of skill levels by offering tests of oral, visual and physical (acting it out) knowledge.
