A positive relationship between the student and the target language is as important as the positive relationship between the student and the teacher. The positive learning environment is essential. The classes with my English teacher in primary school were boring. The situation improved in high school, but everything changed when I attended a summer school in Reading, UK. For the first time in my life I enjoyed my English classes; the teachers were so motivating, cheerful, interesting... everything I wanted. I wanted to be like them... I was fascinated by them... and at the age of 20, while still at University, I started working in a language school. I loved teaching so much, and yes, my teachers from UK were my role model! I have been teaching 21 years now and I always try to be entertaining, funny, interesting and motivating for my students. And yes, affective language teaching leads to successful language learning!
Wwo... Inside the box... mmm... it is you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this book because it makes me feel like a child and we can construct a lot of activities. I am working with this book too and my students are doing a rocket with a big box. I Love your ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteDamien,
ReplyDeleteYou have made me curious about the box and the image on the screen. I can see that you really got their attention!
That is affective language learning.
Hugs!
It started as a robot, then slid down to be a form of clothing.
