- What are your favorite online resources/ tools that you use to enhance your English lessons?
Websites, articles, videos, podcasts are all welcome.
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Ted talk videos for advanced English students but mostly articles and interactive questions for all other criterias to enrich vocabulary and knowledge
- How do you integrate current events and pop culture into your English lessons for greater relevance?
Is this something you do often, and if so, how often? What prompts you to do it?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
I think it's crucial to make lessons relevant, so I always weave in current events. For example, I kick off our classes with a news article that captures the students' attention, such as a hot topic from social media or a noteworthy event. We dive into the vocabulary and themes presented in the article, which enhances their reading comprehension and analytical abilities. I also invite students to share their favorite pop culture references, whether it's a recent movie or an intriguing video clip, for discussion. This method not only keeps the material engaging but also motivates students to share their thoughts and hone their conversational skills.
- As a student, What is your main goal in learning a language?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
I find that learning new languages is both a personal challenge and a way to better myself. I already speak several languages, but I aim to achieve fluency in Thai and Spanish. This journey helps me step outside my comfort zone and enhances my self-confidence.

- The student must learn the culture of the language he is learning...all the culture (lifestyle)
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Language learning inherently involves understanding cultural contexts. Grasping cultural nuances enhances communication, comprehension, and fluency. This knowledge is crucial in real-life situations, as it informs gestures, idioms, and social norms. Additionally, it provides context for dialects and regional language variations.
- What questions should a tutor ask a student in trial lesson and what shouldn't ask ?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Good questions to ask include: - Questions about their language learning goals - Inquiries about their previous experience with learning the language and any challenges they have faced - Questions about their interests and hobbies - Queries about their learning styles Questions to avoid include: - Personal or sensitive questions - Questions involving too much technical language - Questions that imply negative assumptions
- What are some fun and creative ways to integrate vocabulary building into your lessons?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
I integrate vocabulary building by connecting lessons to learners’ personal experiences. After introducing new words, I ask them to share personal stories or examples related to those words. This not only solidifies their understanding but also builds a supportive classroom environment where learners feel comfortable using new vocabulary. I always encourage them to practice outside the classroom by incorporating new words into everyday conversations. 😎
- Is it possible to learn more than one language at the same time?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
While it’s possible, it’s also important to recognize your own limits. Some learners thrive on the challenge, while others may find it overwhelming. I advise starting with one language until you feel comfortable, then introducing a second. Pay attention to your progress and adjust your approach as needed. Good luck! 😎
- What are your top tips for making English lessons more interactive and engaging for students?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
I always take the time to ask my students about their learning interests and the topics that excite them. This engagement helps them feel appreciated and boosts their enthusiasm to take part in class activities. 😎
- How can we ensure that students retain and effectively utilize the feedback provided by tutors?
As tutors, we all recognize that providing feedback is crucial for student growth, helping them identify their strengths and weaknesses and areas for improvement. However, in the context of online classes, a significant challenge arises: how can we ensure that students effectively capture and retain the feedback we provide, given their limited time to write it down during lessons? What strategies can we implement to prevent students from forgetting important tips and repeating the same mistakes, particularly in speaking? In what ways can we facilitate a system that allows students to revisit and reflect on the feedback after class, ensuring it becomes a part of their learning process?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
I always encourage my students to think about the feedback I provide. After each tutoring session, I ask them, "Can you summarize what we discussed today?" This helps them engage critically with the feedback and see how it relates to their own work.
- Share your most effective techniques for helping students improve their speaking confidence.
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
I really think that one of the best ways to get better at speaking is through structured practice. I always tell my students to do regular speaking activities like role-plays and discussions on certain topics. We kick things off with topics they know well to boost their confidence, and then we slowly move on to trickier subjects. This approach not only gives them a chance to practice speaking but also lets them get helpful feedback in a friendly setting. 😎
