Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!
I found Juan's page whilst looking for jokes for my private students:-D. I have been a private tutor since I was a teenager, but mainly worked as a translator. Since my dad died two years ago I have felt a shift and I now my dream is to become a full-time teacher. I am currently studying to get the teacher certificate. Affective learning totally resonates with me and I want to dedicate most of my final dissertation to it. I am a huge fan of Gertrude Moscowitz:-D!

    Hey Silvia! Gertrude Moskowitz has inspired so many teachers around the world and I am certainly one of her followers. I really like when you say ressonates as affective learning has to do with feeling. Let me know if I can help you in any way in your dissertation. Hugs from Brazil!!!

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!
