My teaching approach will vary by learner's profile, needs, and learning styles.
In particular:
- For learners who want to rebuild their grammatical base, I usually concentrate more on the most common way of teaching languages GTM: theory + practicing exercises.
- For learners who want to enhance their communication skills, I will leverage the advantage of Communicative Language Teaching or Task-Based Learning, etc. The purpose is to create an environment that encourages learners to practice their vocabulary, and structure in a target context. This course is especially suitable for those who already have a certain English level but have few chances to practice it by speaking it out
- For young kids, I often combine the direct method and TPR, which means that all the kids are immersed in an English-speaking environment. They learn in English while having fun. I speak all the time in English, teaching them the structure and vocabulary by topics in an amusing environment.
