Grammer Classes

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 Federico Riva TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas The Importance of Grammar Instruction in EFL Classes Grammar is the fundamental regulation that governs proper spoken and written language, holding a significant place in language institutions and schools.

Mon, 11 Mar 2019 Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences How My Passion For The Spanish Language Made Me Become An English Teacher Abroad As a native English speaker, my first major foreign language experience began in 8th grade, where I had the option of studying either Spanish or French. I chose Spanish, as I'd always been drawn to the language and Latin American culture, and hoped to one day live in a Spanish speaking country.

Wed, 25 Dec 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Is Peer Learning Useful in an ESL Classroom? I believe that peer learning can be very helpful in English as a Second Language classroom. I believe that as a language learner there is nothing more helpful than learning from people around you. I have found that humans are very social beings just by the nature of being human. I believe that we learn best by interacting with people and that this translates especially when learning other languages. I think that it is very beneficial for students at any level to learn from each other to build their skills in every way.
