I chose this picture because it represents us as teachers taking care of our students' learning process in order to make them independent.
I believe teaching affectively is related to promoting autonomy and confidence in our Learners
The picture also shows how much students rely on their teachers and trust teachers will be always there to hold their hands whenever they need

    Hi Daniela! 

    Seeing this picture I thought immediately about Vygostsky's zone of proximal development, where teachers give cues for   students to go a little bit beyond their actual competence level. 

    The lovely picture you have chosen certainly conveys the idea of fostering autonomy and confidence through a caring and trustworthy relationship as well as feeling when to let the students go on their own. 

    Realized now I miss biking!

A positive relationship between the student and the target language is as important as the positive relationship...

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!
