What is the FUTURE of ESL LEARNING?

(Photo Credit: http://bit.ly/2rcBT30) The latest research into overall learning is turning out to be quite an eye opener. The whole logical way of developing an idea is now being debunked, not only as something we don’t do any more but something we never did!

Common ESL classroom issue 8: the lack of seriousness of the class

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2nX6Rfk) This is something almost any experienced teacher can relate to. At the same time if the teacher doesn’t handle the case well, everyone suffers including the students. One of the main pieces of information I learned as a teacher before I started was, don’t worry about managing the class, that will come…

ESL DICTIONARIES will not be the thing we search, in the future they will be SEARCHING US

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2qeSDsK) Sounds crazy I know, but hold onto your hat, the google search we think of so easily today, will soon be searching us.

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2oCh7ME) This is a classic issue when being taught by ‘old school’ teaching techniques. Some teachers want to simply lecture, get students to take notes and go home.

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/1X4E3ik) Something that is certainly high in our attention these days is the refugee crisis around the world. People are fleeing from the Middle East in the boat-loads and crushing down barriers between countries and screaming for help. Many countries have taken them in and some…

The CONFIDENT ESL speaker is dead – the COURAGEOUS is the new WINNER

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2pUcSwn) To define confidence in speaking is to realise that it refers to someone who speaks the same thing over and over again until they are so confident, that will feel secure in themselves that if they say that phrase again, they won’t get it wrong.

It’s not enough to be SMART in English ANYMORE

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2opsbgb) I remember the days when the smartest person in the class was always the one who was going to do well in life.

Common ESL classroom issue 6: the poor lighting

(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2nauLH4) This may seem a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised just how many classrooms are poorly designed lighting wise. Lighting issues can appear in these ways: Having too few lights generally in the room This simply leads to a dim setting. Nice if you are planning on watching television or a movie, but…
