English classes overview
My ESL methodology focuses on communication through real-life scenarios and authentic materials. I design lessons that reflect everyday contexts, helping students develop practical language skills they can use outside the classroom. By encouraging interaction, problem-solving, and cultural awareness, learners gain confidence and fluency. I adapt materials and activities to meet students’ needs and levels, ensuring lessons are meaningful, engaging, and student-centred. My goal is to create a supportive, motivating environment where language learning feels natural, relevant, and enjoyable for every learner. I also promote autonomy by guiding students to set personal goals, monitor progress, and use English beyond class through digital tools, authentic interaction, and real-world practice. Communication
