About the lesson

I have taught ESL for over 20 years to students ranging from first graders to graduate and postgraduate professionals.
I base my classes on meaningful personalized or relevant but interesting topics to the student(s).
My teaching method is Communicative Language Teaching and Learning which is centered on helping students of all ages not merely to know the language but to apply what they know in "communicative" contexts. It is student-centered instruction founded on a learning-by-doing approach.
Total Physical Response is a technique that I find especially successful in teaching young children. It is used as a way of accommodating learners to gradually accustom themselves to communicating in the target language.
