English learning advices

😊Hello, learners and teachers!

Today, I would like to sum up this blog by telling you some advices which I found useful for learning English.

What do I have to know for learning and teaching English?

⇨ Learning English is about repetition: What do I mean? When learning English, repetition is very important to remember either new vocabulary or new gramatical structures. Children need to repeat to remember, and we, as a teachers, have to make this repetition process as much fun as posible.

⇨ Surround children with English: If we are teaching/learning English at home, we should decorate the walls with english vocabulary, english pictures, etc. The same happens with teaching or learning English at school, decorating walls with tricky words, for example, it would be a good idea to remember that words in every moment.

⇨Using athentic materials: Try to read English texts written for and by native speakers would be a good idea. It could be a challenge at first but a lot more motivated for students. Also, we can teach our students traditional either British or American games (like Simmon says) to introduce them to the culture.

⇨Learning while playing: Learning a new language is always a challenge for our children, and we don't want them to get frustrate. So, what can we do to avoid that frustration? Teaching them while they have fun! We have a great amount of materials to get them have fun, such as; crosswords, puzles, sing songs, read comics,... We want them to be motivated when they learn a new language so, let's use funny materials and learn while playing!
