It’s a looooooooong and wind-ing road ….to ……ENGLISH FLUENCY

Originally posted on The FUTURE of Learning:
(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/1MXxdCh) Sounds like a song I know….But honestly for the ESL learner the enthusiasm at the beginning of the course when you are fresh out of your country or high school and are committed and ready for that University degree that just can’t come fast enough….it…

When GOOD ENOUGH English, ISN’T good enough

(photo credit: http://bit.ly/2it1SPo) One of the reasons why IELTS and TOEFL make their ‘pass level’ so high is because being ‘good enough at English’ is not going to get you very far. Some may argue the point of ‘well it depends on why you want to learn English’ , but well I come from the…

Be SENSITIVE to your own ESL needs and GROW from there

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2hE36HD) It’s easy to decide from the start that you ‘want it all’, in anything, not only English learning, and I’m not going to dissuade you from this. Go for it all, that is the way to get the most out of everything. But what I am going to say here, is that…

The POWER of the DEMONSTRATION LESSON for new ESL teacher applicants

Originally posted on The FUTURE of Learning:
(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/1Sq3A3d) For many language centres around the world, there are a huge number of problems they have to face in order to get the best teachers they can to suit their school needs and budget. To ask for a demonstration lesson as part of the recruitment…

Build your INSTINCT to speak ENGLISH

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2icMG9p) Instinct is one of those ‘funny’ phenomena where it is ‘just there’ from birth. We see it with the birth of a new baby, how it ‘just knows’ things and tries to act it out. Also in the animal kingdom, how a baby animal is born and within an hour automatically tries…

DISRUPTIVE living speeds up ENGLISH learning

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2hdOyxl) Imagine a life with no disruptions. Would it be paradise? Is it a dream state we always wish for? Some may think so, but ultimately it isn’t realistic and also isn’t useful for you if you are learning a language. Sit back and consider now your last 24 hours. Perhaps your day…

There is always MORE ENGLISH to speak

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2iReKA0) Another way of looking at this idea of ‘there is more English to speak’, is to understand that ‘there is always more to say’. Taking a few steps back, I do remember when I was much younger and fresh out of that ivory tower of a university and had my mind expanded…

The SPEAKING APP TRANSLATOR – will it really take off?

Originally posted on The FUTURE of Learning:
(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/1JasrFz) I was watching an interesting futurist (Gerd Leonhard) discussion recently concerning the development of an app that wherever you are in the world and whatever language you are speaking or your partner is speaking you can simply download an app and record what the person…

Your world will be the SUM TOTAL of your English ABILITY

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2honSif) Okay take a moment to go on a tangent with me here. You and your friend are entering a fast food restaurant. You both decide to buy a thick shake. You both pay the money and move to the end of the counter. They give you the two thick shakes and you…
