Teaching methodology
My tutoring sessions incorporates a dynamic ESL teaching methodology that prioritizes engagement, integrating communicative approaches prompting cultural awareness. I first assess my students' needs to tailor engaging and interactive lessons accordingly. These lessons will promote differentiated instruction that supports diverse learners and ongoing assessment to provide feedback for improvement. I will strive to incorporate task-based learning techniques, so students can practice real-life language skills while also integrating reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This learner-centered approach fosters collaboration and autonomy. Regular reflection ensures teaching efficacy. Ultimately, my English lessons will not only cultivate language proficiency but also promote cross-cultural understanding and confidence in communication!
