Have you created any innovative teaching methods that you feel have been a hit with your students?
I've been doing some thinking over the past few months, and despite having been a teacher for 8 years and feeling confident in my teaching ability, I've always been open to constructive criticism or picking up new methodologies from other teachers. This got me thinking about how, at this stage, I would be able to improve my teaching methods organically (as opposed to starting a new course or something along those lines), and after doing a fair bit of research, something that bugged me was how similar a lot of the ideas were online. This left me with a couple of questions (with no right or wrong answers; I just want to open a discussion). 1: Do you think there's a place for innovation in terms of teaching techniques and methodology in today's learning environments? 2: Have you ever innovated any new methods or techniques that you feel proud of and that have seemingly had a positive impact on your students? I'm interested to hear other people's perspectives!

I would say I cater according to my students needs. We came accrss different student with different qoals.
I would say it depends on the student, most students just want the opportunity to Speak and some want to be challenged and learn something new in their target language, reading Articles and maybe doing some Grammar and Pronunciation tests can help them feel as though they need to improve on some weaker skills.
well as a tutor i'd say that everyday and every student i meet is a new opportunity to improve my teaching skills. whatever way a student wants to conduct the class is how i will improvise to fit at that particular juncture. I am also curious to see and learn if there is any new way that i can try .

I'd like to quickly apologize for the formatting! In the draft it looked fine, but it seems to have compressed everything together. Lesson learnt for next time!

Articles are shorter as in getting to the point. Mostly in newspapers and magazines. Essays are more of a academic form.

Don't bother that much, most of the time they are interchangeable, But keep it noted that, if there are two things we mostly use "that" when something is more out of reach (not just physically) than something else,

Believing is having confidence in something based on knowledge or proof, while trusting is having faith in someone or something even without all the facts or proof.
