Teaching methods

I believe in planning and delivering exciting lessons that are packed full of a variety of games, activities, quizzes and exercises that seek to develop multiple skills. I loved to use various websites such as: Memorize, Quizlet, Limmu and websites like TES for resources for teaching vocab and grammar. My experience working as a language teacher in schools highlighted the importance of cultural immersion and direct language exposure by incorporating primary resources of language use that apply to the current lesson focus. I am a fan of using recordings of Spanish speakers (including my friends!) and taking clips from tv shows, adverts and films in order to demonstrate in-situ language usage. I am committed to making sure my students are memorising and integrating taught language and firmly believe in the importance of setting homework to complete in their spare time; wherever it be creating or deconstructing some sentences or a piece of text, or going off and learning as many new words that apply to a newly taught concept.

Although it is not held as popular opinion, I have found that being a non-native speaker of Spanish has been extremely beneficial in teaching it, as I've been able to better explain certain grammatical features and idiomatic phrases that make absolutely no sense when you put them directly through google translate!
