My main method is communicative. I mean that I prioritize real communication in the classroom. I focus on helping students speak, listen, understand, and use the language in practical, meaningful contexts. My goal is for students to communicate confidently and fluently, not just know the rules.
I use a lot of resources to help my students with different aspects of studying. I don’t rely on just one textbook. Some resources help with grammar and vocabulary, others with listening, speaking, reading, or writing. I also adapt my resources to fit different learning styles and levels. This way, every student has a better chance at understanding and staying engaged.
I aim to make my classroom a safe, welcoming, and supportive space where students feel relaxed and confident to participate. I want them to feel free to speak, ask questions, and make mistakes without fear of judgment. A comfortable environment encourages communication, builds trust, and helps students stay motivated and open to learning. I use positive feedback, patience, humor, and respectful communication to create this kind of atmosphere.
