Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is simple. If learning isn't enjoyable, what's the point? I have a very eclectic style of teaching based on my student needs and levels. I use methology, of course, which students use to become competent in all of the four language skills. I present them with materials and activities that are at a slightly higher level than their current competence, challenging them, but not high enough to prevent success. The students take an active role in their learning process with opportunities to reflect on their experiences, draw conclusions, and apply them in real communicative tasks. I motivate my students with praise and encouragement. I give them the tools they need to learn; guidance, counseling, support, demonstration, instruction, examples, feedback, and information.
