Enjoy teaching, enjoy learning - this is our main goal, this is a breath of fresh air for both us, English teachers and our students. Both desperately seek a better way to learn English and more generally a better way to experience school.
During ten years of teaching I have always tried to make my work more successfully. Contrary my expectations the results were not always encouraging. Even though I was "teaching" a lot, it was unclear how much "learning" was taken. Now I realized that the essence of successful classroom lies in having students do the work while the teacher facilitates.
If we use variety of approaches, methods and techniques to cater for a variety of learning styles (e.g.auditory, visual, kinesthetic) we will make teaching more effective.
Hello Nino Great thoughts, and I agree with you that if we use variety of approaches, we will make teaching more effective. And with this practice, students can also be more motivated.
