My Teaching Methods


I have been a Polish and English teacher since 1976.
I often find myself thinking in Polish and English, flying back and forth from the two languages.
It is difficult to manage exchanging thoughts in two languages simultaneously.  Anyhow, why would you like to? Generally speaking, I am for blended learning and teaching with no remark to L1.
Thinking in a foreign language from an early stage helps students gain a level of fluency making very few errors in communication.
I believe, the sooner a student learns to think in a foreign language, the faster she/he will learn. This can only take place if no reference at all is made to L1. My learners need to be free from the interruption of L1.
Maybe I am wrong because it is obviously much easier to teach/learn with the help of pure conversion.
On the other hand, I know that anyone who is learning a second language wishes and dreams about communicating and thinking in that language.
I teach a lot, approximately 4 Polish classes and 4 English classes a day, and I have to admit that my students are very successful learners.

  1. That was all that it took to change the sign quality in the house I was visiting. It was a two story home, and the individuals attempted to associate gadgets in the upstairs rooms to the WiFi. At the point when they could associate, the sign was frail to the point that viewing a video resembled seeing a slideshow move by.

    It turns out the 10.0.0.0.1 router was on the floor on the opposite side of a love seat, and out of the blue (maybe the lounge chair had a metal edge, or springs inside) it was debilitating the sign. We knew this since we had the option to utilize a WiFi quality application to quantify how the system changed as we moved the router here and there.

    Moving the router six feet to the opposite side of the love seat onto the end table made a huge difference — we could see that the sign quality upstairs was solid at each point we needed to interface. We didn't have to purchase a lot of equipment or new gadgets. We simply had to realize what the sign resembled as we moved things around.

    Each organization today needs access to the Internet to interface with its clients and merchants. Each home uses the WiFi to get to the Internet — and sooner or later, every spot will begin having issues. For individuals who are having issues with their WiFi signal, there are three things they have to do:

    Update their present instruments and gadgets

    Comprehend the 10.0 0.0 1 WiFi signal against the area being referred to

    Test out various arrangements

    Likewise with any issue, information is power. The more we can comprehend the system as it is currently, the more remarkable we can make it.
