  • How do you motivate your students?
    Best answer

    Motivate your students by setting clear goals, make lessons relevant to real life, using interactive activities, providing positive reinforcement, integrating technology, connecting to culture, fostering a supportive environment, using varied materials, allowing personalized learning and incorporating authentic materials that align with the student. They are always ready to come to class.

  • How do you incorporate current events into your lessons to keep students engaged?

    In order to keep students interested in the material and give them a better understanding of the real-world implications of business practices, it’s important to relate the topics discussed in class to current events. I always strive to make sure my students are aware of the real-world implications of the topics we cover in class. I have my students create business plans based on real-world examples, which helps them to understand the practical applications of the concepts we are discussing. I make every effort to stay up to date on the latest trends and developments in business so that I can offer new perspectives to my students and keep them engaged.

    As language is the tool to allows us to talk about everything, I don't think anything should be excluded. BUT it's important not to makes issues personal. You have some great ideas, and I think keeping topics relevant to students means they'll simply want to engage.

  • Why is it OK to say "I was relieved to have passed my exam"?

    it's not logical, as for me, because the first part is in Past simple and the second is Present Perfect, but not Past! could you please explain why it's so


    Best answer

    In your example "to have passed ..." is not Present Perfect Tense, it is an infinitive form - a perfect infinitive, which is not a tense. But you can rephrase it like this "I was relieved that I had passed my exam" if it sounds logical.
