Are you nervous about communicating in English with
foreign colleagues?
Do you throw a full command of English, but feel like
your flexibility may be lacking?
Would you like to memorize how to sound more natural
when making little talk and talking about problems?
Do you feel the need to improve your
conversational skills?
If you answered "YES" to any of
these questions, then link up right off!
I give English one to one tutoring classes
as well as ONLINE English Courses.
I realize what YOU need to succeed in
English. I know the essential skills you need to grow to suit an active
communicator in English.
My classes are for students who want to
use a most proficient approach to get fluent in English fast by practicing
English Skills. Training is a subconscious process and is faster than conscious
learning.
Being
able to put across effectively is the most important of all life sciences.
Communication
is merely the act of transferring information from one place to another,
whether this is vocal,written, visually
or non-verbally (using body language, gestures and the tone and pitch of the
voice).
How
well this information can be transmitted and received is a measure of how good
our communication skills are.
Developing
your English communication skills can facilitate all facets of your life, from
your professional heart to social gatherings and everything in between.
Formal methods of learning English exemplify
passive learning with a limited success rate. I steadfastly trust in Active
Learning of English Skills which is much more efficient than passive learning.
These are the main disadvantages of passive English learning
1. The major weakness of passive education is that it splits the language
into different components – reading, writing, listening, grammar, and
pronunciation – which you try to learn separately.
2. When learners are not actively involved in the class, they continue to
think in their native language. Whatever the instructor explains to them, they
try to interpret it in their mother tongue. It gets virtually impossible to
process the information intuitively or spontaneously.
3. Because learners aren’t taught to think in English, they are unable to
communicate in English.
Active learning helps students start
speaking English confidently in less than a year.
Active learning is more than just listening: it involves the active
participation of pupils. They must use the language all the time and be
emotionally involved in the process.
We need the conversion from
Passive Learning to Active Training English Skills
As a language teacher, I use all kinds of
tricks just because making students speak and building their self-confidence in
keeping the conversation going is the most essential for me.
When I teach Polish, my foreigners and I have to speak only Polish, and also my
English classes are run entirely in English. I train without a bridge language.
This means they are required to forget about native language and start talking
as well as intending in a foreign linguistic communication. Thinking in a
foreign language, this is just what I want my learners to achieve.
My students read the words in different contexts, mostly singing phrases,
expressions, collocations, idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs also telling
tales. Moreover, I inspire them to talk to everybody, even to themselves in a
foreign language. Consequently, theycan communicate as well as discuss
a variety of beautiful narrations.
Many teachers spend most of their time altering each other’s errors.
Nevertheless, I correct only fundamentalerrors, as I
don’t want students to stop talking. I also encourage my learners to listen to
songs, watch movies with subtitles in a language they learn, read a lot and so
forth.
1. The most important is to deliver
comprehensible input. We improve the language when we understand it.
I am very much against the support in the
native language.
2. Learners spend more time
dynamically speaking English when we convert them, for influencing pupils.
I also produce an environment for gaining all language skills – reading,
listening, talking, writing, and pronunciation at the same time. Learners experience everyday situations again entirely
in English.
3. The mobile is an obvious
choice for delivering information. It gives students access to reading material
both in the form of educational activity and after the course of a written report. It covers support for sharing
sessions with friends or teachers, which is essential for digital learners.
The lessons added by a teacher allow building an active connection between everyone.
As a result, I as an English teacher
achieve a perpetual change from passive learning to the active, improving
English skills.

Online coverage of the Annual International IATEFL Conference & Exhibition in Glasgow, 2017
I have just become an IATEFL Online Registered Blogger.
Unfortunately, I cannot join the Conference. Personally, I am willing to 'attend virtually' (or sometimes follow an online coverage) and share the knowledge with other instructors from around the globe.
Following my previous year experience, I am willing to write a few blog posts about the video content (streamed or recorded interviews or video sessions) published on the IATEFL Online site during the 2017 IATEFL Conference.

The twenty-first century is a world in constant change. In A New Culture of Learning, Doug Thomas and John Seely Brown pursue an understanding of how the forces of change, and emerging waves of interest associated with these forces, inspire and invite us to imagine a future of learning that is as powerful as it is optimistic. Typically, when we think of culture, we think of an existing, stable entity that changes and evolves over long periods of time. In A New Culture, Thomas and Brown explore a second sense of culture, one that responds to its surroundings organically. It not only adapts, it integrates change into its process as one of its environmental variables. By exploring play, innovation, and the cultivation of the imagination as cornerstones of learning, the authors create a vision of learning for the future that is achievable, scalable and one that grows along with the technology that fosters it and the people who engage with it. The result is a new form of culture in which knowledge is seen as fluid and evolving, the personal is both enhanced and refined in relation to the collective, and the ability to manage, negotiate and participate in the world is governed by the play of the imagination. Replete with stories, this is a book that looks at the challenges that our education and learning environments face in a fresh way. PRAISE FOR A NEW CULTURE OF LEARNING "A provocative and extremely important new paradigm of a 'culture of learning', appropriate for a world characterized by continual change. This is a must read for anyone interested in the future of education." James J. Duderstadt, President Emeritus, University of Michigan "Thomas and Brown are the John Dewey of the digital age." Cathy Davidson, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Duke University "A New Culture of Learning may provide for the digital media and learning movement what Thomas Paine's Common Sense did for the colonists during the American Revolution- a straightforward, direct explanation of what we are fighting for and what we are fighting against." Henry Jenkins, Provost's Professor, USC "A New Culture of Learning is at once persuasive and optimistic - a combination that is all too rare, but that flows directly from its authors' insights about learning in the digital age. Pearls of wisdom leap from almost every page." Paul Courant, Dean of Libraries, University of Michigan "Brilliant. Insightful. Revolutionary." Marcia Conner, author of The New Social Learning "Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown portray the new world of learning gracefully, vividly, and convincingly." Howard Gardner, Professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education "Thomas and Brown make it clear that education is too often a mechanistic, solo activity delivered to the young. It doesn't have to be that way-learning can be a messy, social, playful, embedded, constant activity. We would do well to listen to their message." Clay Shirky, author of Cognitive Surplus "Anyone who fears, as I do, that today's public schools are dangerously close to being irrelevant must read this book. The authors provide a road map-and a lifeline-showing how schools can prosper under the most difficult conditions. It is a welcome departure from all the school bashing." John Merrow, Education Correspondent, PBS NewsHour "American education is at a crossroads. By illuminating how play helps to transform both information networks and experimentation, and how collective inquiry unleashes the power of imagination, A New Culture of Learning provides an irresistible path to the future." Joel Myerson, Director, Forum for the Future of Higher Education.
