Task #1 Yesterday, in the kindergarten we were making animals with the crayons. This is Bade. She made a rainbow fish. ♡ I would like to share this picture with you! :-)
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!
Hi everyone. I am quite a mind mapper. So these are my notes on the first session. I have a problem with task 1. U tube says the video is not available. Does this happen with anyone of you? What can I do to be able to watch it?
Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLoved the rainbow fish that Bade made! So many different possibilities when one is open to use everyday objects in creative ways!
ReplyDeleteI like the way she is proud about her rainbow fish. These feelings certainly are very present in her relationship with English.
Thank you for sharing this lovely moment with us, Renata!
What a creative mind! Awesome :)
