I lead lessons on different elements of the English language; activities that force students to listen, comprehend, and speak in English; and small group informal conversation clubs. These strategies help students’ basic communication skills and confidence speaking in a foreign language. I always make sure to focus on what is important: communication. Although grammar and spelling are important, I believe that the most important part of language is the ability to communicate.
In my community, I follow a similar theory to school. On Saturday morning, in the town library, my partner and I lead two English classes, a basic one and an advanced one. On Thursdays, we meet for conversation club with adults, and one day of the week we meet for conversation club with students. And occasionally I take part in English events like English day celebrations, English competitions like spelling and music, and speaking at other schools. I try my best to devote time to creating a space where people feel like they can learn English. Everything I do in town is 100% free and always group based.
Though learning a language must come from within a person, I try my best to be a role model of why learning languages is beneficial, while also assisting people in their language learning journey, whether it be in the form of a class with me, conversation or just sharing my most recommended study resource document.
Me gusta creer que el deseo de aprender inglés está siendo atendido. Trabajo como profesor de inglés en un colegio público y lidero un rango de actividades. En mi comunidad, mi pareja y yo dictamos clases, facilitamos clubes de conversación y tomamos parte en eventos relacionados con el aprendizaje del inglés.
