The Best English Lesson includes STRESS
By: Jake Solochek
The BEST ENGLISH LESSON
The best curriculum for English starts with you, the student
Hi, I am a teacher of English. My boss just told me that "you don't follow the curriculum, there are complaints that you don't teach enough grammar and you do not follow procedure for field trips."
Here is my view about teaching: You will forget most of what happens in the classroom. If I make a video tape of the class, you will remember that part!
It is often the things that happen OUTSIDE the class that you will remember more than INSIDE the class.
Always ask the student "Why are you studying English? how will you use the language? What is your dream for using English? What do you fear?"
Always ask the students to call the teacher's mobile phone. Give the students email, MSN and SKYPE contacts. Give each student a business card. (Some people are more physical and they don't remember where they wrote the information).
Yes, there are some people who believe that they are not getting enough grammar. Why do those people talk to the Director of the school? Why do those people decide that it is impossible for the teacher (me) to change my way of teaching? Can I give them extra homework for their grammar? Is it possible to learn grammar by talking about it or by discussing in a small group or by making a presentation? ("But I'm scared to talk in front of the group.")
I believe that global warming is a big problem. I believe that each of us can do something to change the situation. I just sponsored the planting of ten trees today. that costs $2, about 20 cents per tree. I will protect rainforests in Peru, I will protect coral reefs in Florida, near Fort Lauderdale. I live in a tropical paradise and i have a bb_tropicaldream, yes, a tropical dream. I want to show you how to learn English with free English lessons and I want to turn you into a road lover, yes, a roadlover, to make you want to travel and see the world with English. Perhaps you will buy a house in Florida! Even in Fort Lauderdale, and you might meet my friend from Belize Barbara Brodman.
I hope you will write to me and learn how you can build international bridges and promote understanding. You can find a small school by going to www.findasmallschool.com and reading articles about your role as a mentor. Yes, you have an opportunity to do something with your English to improve the way people interact.
Please write to my husband with your reaction. Steve McCrea freeenglishlessons.com, SteveEnglishTeacher@hotmail.com and skype SteveFortLauderdale and 954 646 8246. There is a time for action and it is now. Imagine. you could be preparing to go on a cruise to the Caribbean
There are better ways to learn another Language. It's not just about absorbing vocabulary and grammar. You need to get involved, immersed and interacting. You need STRESS ENGLISH -- and it is good for your health to learn another language.
You need Something That Really Excites and Stimulates your Senses. S T R E S S
