Sharing means giving a part of what you have to someone else. It shows that you care about them and want them to be happy. E.g. I appreciate you sharing your resources with me. It made a big difference—definitely a reminder that sharing is caring:)

BOUGIE E.g. In the weekly team meeting, John presented his ideas using a very bougie PowerPoint template with unnecessary animations and designs. * Here, "BOUGIE" implies that Sarah's presentation was overly fancy or pretentious for the context of a workplace meeting, perhaps making it seem insincere or showy. BOUJEE E.g.The office decided to host a boujee lunch for the client, complete with gourmet catering and fine wines. * In this sentence, "BOUJEE" is used to describe the upscale nature of the lunch event, emphasizing that it was luxurious and possibly a bit extravagant, but in a celebratory, positive way.

I create a routine where we talk about a specific topic at the start or end of each class. This gives students the chance to prepare ahead of time and feel more confident discussing familiar themes. I also encourage them to share stories, whether they’re personal experiences or imaginative tales. This approach helps them practice speaking in a fun and creative way. 😎

One of the most challenging aspects of learning grammar for my students is the variety of rules and exceptions that exist within the English language. Many students find it overwhelming to remember the rules for verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and punctuation. To make it easier for my students, I focus on contextual learning. I emphasize understanding grammar in the context of writing and speaking rather than teaching rules in isolation. I encourage students to analyze sentences from their favorite books or articles, identifying grammatical structures naturally. This method not only makes grammar more relatable but also helps students develop a better intuition for how to use grammar correctly in their own writing and speaking. 😎

I adapt my grammar lessons to align with my students' interests, focusing on themes they are enthusiastic about. I firmly believe that when students engage with grammar rules in areas they care about, they tend to remember them better. 😎

Fallacious refers to something built on incorrect beliefs or containing a logical flaw. E.g. The manager realized that the fallacious assumption about employee productivity was leading to faulty performance evaluations.

I emphasize the importance of learning vocabulary in context. Instead of just memorizing words, I encourage students to use them in sentences or during discussions about topics they're interested in. 😎
