I am a fully qualified Montessori nursery teacher with a BA degree in Education who is passionate about teaching. I have several years of experience working in a variety of positions within the Education sector, including teaching English, Portuguese and Spanish languages for children and adults.
As a teacher i make sure i create a safe and positive language learning environment.
Everyone makes mistakes when learning a new language. So it’s important that students have the confidence that they are working in an environment that sees mistakes as opportunities to learn and to improve. Therefore my students will learn that my class is a safe space, free from judgement, and one where all of their contributions are encouraged and valued.
I ensure that as much communication and interaction as possible takes place in the target language. A key part of my job as a teacher will be to expose students to as much of the new language as possible.
I keep lesson content real and relevant.
The best way to teach a language is to constantly ensure that your lessons support your students’ motivation for learning. The majority of learners will be most focused on using their language skills outside of the classroom, so creating exercises that replicate real-world situations is a great way to engage students and quickly build progress.
Learning languages is not a passive experience – it doesn’t just happen! Students need to be constantly involved and doing things in and with their target language.
For many learners, understanding the language is the first part of a wider ambition to know and understand a different culture or way of life. Students want and need to know the meaning behind the language, so the best way to teach a language often puts culture front and center.
I use a wide variety of authentic teaching materials in the target language. There’s a role for social media, podcasts, field trips, film, TV, music, etc
I also realize there are several different learning methods. Some learn by hearing, some by seeing and some by speaking. Therefore, i create courses that weaves together all of the various learning techniques. I am also willing to explore the different ways of teaching language, even the experimental ones, to provide my students with the best chance to learn.
