Teacher Alan– Native English Teacher
I am an enthusiastic NET teacher from the USA. I have been teaching English to kindergarten and primary students through activity-based learning for the past 6 years. I also taught classes in fun reading programmes incorporating techniques to improve comprehension, vocabulary and overall interest in reading through the use of games and competitions.
During the teaching process, I always provide positive educational experience for my students. The main focus is to ensure that children balance learning with fun in the classroom and build confidence in their own ability. It’s important to maintain a positive atmosphere in classrooms and use positive reinforcement to encourage students to learn better. It is important to realize that teaching is sometimes full of surprises and new situations, and teachers must be ready to apply new strategies.
Every student has their own way of learning. Teachers should engage with students both academically and personally. During my classes, when possible, I always give my students choices which make them feel more empowered to learn. It is critical to create real world connections in the classroom and keep teaching contents that are relevant to students’ lives and experiences outside of school. If students do not believe that they will use the classroom materials in their future, they see lessons as insignificant and not useful. In order to achieve learning objectives, a teacher must make the material relevant to their students and make English significant to every student.
