I am a very dedicated instructor and feel it is best to guide my students with warmth and understanding and always use fair practices while teaching. Ensuring students are actively engaged, it is important to balance content delivery with interactivity and time for reflection. I try and present new information on 20- 25 minute time blocks followed by more interactive components all tailored to individual needs of the students:
• regular low-stakes assessments or quizzes including icebreakers, polling questions and other fun activities are great ways to foster connections.
1. Have students complete a short quiz on concepts discussed during the previous lecture.
2. Discussion Threads. Appling something, they learned to a real-life situation.
3. Using quizzes and questions embedded directly into readings and assignments.
• breaking up large blocks of text with multimedia elements to keep students engaged.
1. engaging students with interactive activities.
2. using interactive digital content, using interactive digital content
I like to incorporate The Big Five Learning Science Tactics in my lessons, whether the lessons are set up by the employer or I design them myself as it keeps a formalized structure the learning.
1. Generation - starting each learning module with a real-world problem for students to solve, even if they do not yet have the tools to do so helps prime students for learning. Pushing students to use prior knowledge to solve new or different types of problems can help strengthen knowledge pathways.
2. Elaboration - focuses on having students summarize concepts in their own words using how and why questions or connect new material to experience and knowledge.
3. Retrieval - using frequent low-stakes quizzes, intersperse retrieval-based questions throughout homework and reading assignments.
4. Spaced Practice - the most important ingredients in this process are time and repetition. Adding questions on homework assignments students may have missed from prior tests or returning periodically to topics that are essential.
5. Interleaving - working on the same problems using the same approaches over and over. The effort required on the part of students over the long run has been shown to result in significantly better knowledge retention. I enjoy helping people learn and am motivated by the success they achieve.
I believe that learning a new language properly takes an instructor who will give their student all the tools necessary to achieve their goals. It is important to be able to assess an individual’s ability and progress forward with achievable goals for the student. Learning is challenging but it should also be made enjoyable and fun.
To achieve success in anything you do one must work at it and practice new skills. It is important to learn that there is work involved in acquire new skills such as an additional language. My motivation comes from the smile on my students faces as I see them excel in their new language.
I believe that learning should be fun, therefore teach with a very relaxed and friendly approach. And I hope my students see my strong work ethic and realize that my efforts are to help them achieve success.
