- Who here wants to prepare for the IELTS exam?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
The guy is asking students who want to prepare for the IELTS exam, not teachers who are willing to help!
- What do you look for in a teacher. Like what are your reasons for picking your teachers
This question is for students
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
A teacher who knows how to learn is one who knows how to teach.
- Your lesson plan underpins your teaching philosophy. What phases of a lesson do you include?
How is your lesson plan structured? Does it adhere to the PPP, ESA, 5 Es, or any other format? Please share what you know!
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
I usually stick to PPP but I use ESA quite often as well. It's more engaging for our students, I guess. When we mix the activities, break the rhythm of the class from time to time, it makes our classes more engaging and less monotonous. :) What about you, Nasreddine? :) Whats's your favourite lesson plan structure?

How can you turn students’ extrinsic motivation into intrinsic motivation?

I find that students open up more and engage in the lesson enthusiastically when they are talking something they are familiar with, especially about themselves. I always try to make the lesson as personal as I possibly can. I also try to open up about myself so that they do not feel like it's an interrogation. 🌻

I usually use flash cards and any material that is suitable for the student who is learning depending on the age and the reason why they want to learn the English language. Sometimes I use articles from a magazine or newspaper just get words and phrases we can learn.
- Can someone give advises to my self introduction?
Hi, guys. As a foreigner, I'm not very fluent in English writing, especially in the CV part. And asking someone to review my short self introduction requireslots of money. Also, I want to consult more precious advices from expereinced software programmers like you. So please advise me how to refine the self introduction part. Self intro: Hi, I’m Lucas. After getting my master degree from NCU(ranking 501 from CWUR in 2019), I went to design Android app and web for a WiFi music box. After providing the convenient interfaces and rich media functions like online radio and local music, our products became more attractive to the customers and this increased the chip sales in the market. After that, I joined in a web design team and my main role is to create new services. I developed a web interface to operate on the surveillance devices and manage the user permissions. I also added a log function to track users' behaviour. This working experience helps me a lot in the web deve

- For students: Does anyone know why nouns are considered in the third person?
It is widely taught that person only affects pronouns, but this is not true. It also affects nouns too. Can anyone explain why?
- She drugged the wine with an herb/ a herb … Which form is correct? Explain why?
British vs American English
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Actually, the vowels (aeiou) have little to do with the indefinite article a or an. It is the vowel sound that counts. Take the example of: university and umbrella. Although both words start with a vowel, we say a university but an umbrella. Similarly, we say an egg but a European girl! Herb in American English is pronounced /3:(r)b/ while in British English it is pronounce /h3:b/. Therefore, in American English, it is an herb because the letter h is silent, while in British English it’s a herb because the letter h is not silent. So the rule is: an + a vowel sound and not an + a vowel!
- We say: ‘Long live the king!’ Why can’t we say ‘Long lives the king!’
The present subjunctive
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Yes. The present subjunctive. What we are saying here is "long may the king live" or "Let the king live long". Something like "Dear God, let the king live long". A wish.
