My Principle....The art of teaching a foreign language.


The art of teaching a foreign language.

Teaching a foreign language to grown ups, is similar to how children learn to speak their own native language.

Follow the Natural Stairway of learning. First Children see and associate sounds and images. Probably the first and most important is the sound of MA, OR MAMA, and the image of a woman……with time, the child will associate the sound MA with his mother.

* Repeat sounds. Through repetition a child will be able to say Ma, and therefore other sounds, objects, expressions, feelings, etc…

* Read and write. When a child begins Primary School, he learns to read and write…but, by that time he already knows how to speak the language.

* Grammar. A child learns grammar after he speaks, reads, and writes the language. So, WHY does traditional teaching INVERT this NATURAL process?

For an adult to learn a new language, we must use his/her knowledge, but NOT invert the natural learning process as described above.

Why begin with grammar, then reading and writing, and leave SPEAKING for the end???

Teacher Alliances?

Has anybody explored the idea of creating Joint Classes with other teachers? Yes, why not, creating Alliances. I’ve done it with Francisco It worked out well. Our main problem was to get paying students into the class. But, we got along together fine….Gracias Francisco!

I think Teacher Alliances could work well. They don’t have to be same subjects, but as long as they complement each other in some way. So, if anybody is interested, let me know. I teach conversational English and Spanish. I DON’T think that an alliance between two Same language teachers is a good idea, but never say never.

Below I’m quoting something that Francisco wrote on our Linkedin group:
-———————————————————————————-
Joint-teaching should be no different than any other kind of teamwork.
Strictly required for complex tasks, and convenient, but difficult for standard jobs.

What does it take?
1. A shared purpose
2. Specific goals
3. A shared work approach (or strategy)
4. A sense of shared responsibility
5. Complementary competencies
6. Constructive interaction (good communication skills)

Of course, the students should also be considered team members, and they must share purpose, approach, goals, responsibility competencies and communication.
