Haven’t done LETRS training but are curious what you can learn? Here are some takeaways from today’s session that can inform your instructional decisions next week! 1. Oral language development is the foundation for reading. Kids can’t understand something in text if they can’t understand it orally. Reading aloud is a simple yet important experience to improve reading comprehension. 2. As kids age, oral language comprehension becomes an increasingly crucial factor in reading comprehension. This starts in grade 4 and continues through middle and high school! Have questions about it? Let’s start a convo!

How I helped my client, an actor, achieve language proficiency for optimal performance. I provide language tutoring that helps individuals, professional actors, understand and harness the power of language for their roles. John was one of my clients in my language tutoring program for actors. Here’s what we did together in a span of three months: - We worked on balancing the demand of his roles and his language skill levels. - We defined clear language learning goals and structured actions. - We created an environment where John was well oriented with opportunities to ask questions and practice. - We incorporated multisensory language learning experiences in his daily routine. No stone was left unturned. Every actor is in their own stage of understanding utilizing language for their performances. With different needs and goals. Whether it is the stage of: - Just getting to know the language. - Understanding the nuances for the character development. - Or, actively practicing to speak fluently and naturally. We go step by step. I believe in the power of language I believe in the transformative effect it can have on an actor’s performance. ——————————————————— It is a joy. It is a fulfillment. It is an experience. It is a win-win.

Why extensive reading is so effective for language learners? 🧵 Extensive reading is one of the most effective ways to learn a language. It’s all about reading interesting, level-appropriate material in large quantities—without stressing over every word. The magic? You absorb vocabulary and grammar naturally. Reading exposes you to words in context, which helps them stick better than memorization drills. Plus, it's way more enjoyable! Start with material that’s just slightly challenging, and watch your language skills grow as you get more comfortable with complex texts. Want to learn more?

A deductive language presentation or an inductive guided discovery? It’s a dilemma that all ESL teachers often face. But do you know there’s a third path? It’s using a resource as a stimulus.  The resource itself may or may not include the target language, but the task is designed to make the learners 'need' that language and therefore try to form hypotheses about how to use it or try to find out. The teacher makes the learners aware of the 'gap' in their knowledge and provides or elicits the information they need. Here’s an example: The learners watch a video about an origami artist who creates a unique paper crane every day. It could be followed by a discussion on unique passions that people pursue. The teacher notes down correct and incorrect uses of gerunds e.g. “My neighbour is crazy about beekeeping.”  (Note: There are no gerunds in the video.) After the discussion, the teacher projects these or writes them on the board. In pairs, learners decide which are right and then correct the others. During feedback, the teacher elicits how gerunds are used. What's your approach to language input? #languageinput #eslteaching

The Unexpected Language Teacher in Your Pocket: Social Media As a language educator, I've noticed an intriguing trend: social media is becoming an unexpected ally in language acquisition. Think about it: Memes teach cultural context and colloquialisms Comment sections offer real-time language practice Short-form videos expose learners to diverse accents and dialects While textbooks have their place, social media provides a dynamic, ever-evolving language landscape. It's like a global classroom in your pocket. But here's the caveat: guidance is key. Without proper direction, learners might pick up bad habits or misunderstand nuances. Educators, how are you integrating social media into your language teaching strategies? Let's explore this digital linguistic frontier together. #LanguageLearning #EdTech #SocialMediaInEducation
