EVERYTHING EFL

The Lexical Approach can transform your teaching.
And the good thing is, it's more of a shift of mindset than extra preparation time.
All you have to do is take a little time to do some homework.
Start here.
In this week's installment of my  Cornerstones of Learning series of Everything EFL Podcast, I will introduce you to the Lexical Approach, why it's a good idea and how you can start implementing it into your lessons.
It's a game changer, folks.  Dive in.

Did you ever wonder why you were learning a certain language point in school? How is this going to help me?

Exactly.

Making your students see the connection between the language you teach and their immediate lives and environment is a game-changer. And it might not be as difficult as you think.

In this episode, inspired by James Seymour's fabulous presentation at TESOL Spain 2023, I explain some simple but powerful ways to get your students' attention by using their lives and environment to teach them.

How well do you know your students? Stay tuned til the end of this episode so you can ask yourself the questions to find this out.

What is this buzzword ‘community?’.  Why is it so important for students to have a space to share stuff, have their opinions heard, feel valued, feel slsafe enough to give you feedback (oh yes, that’s part of it!)?

In the third installment of Cornerstones of Learning, I share the benefits of building a community in your classes and I share a bonus activity to get the ball rolling.  Remember, it’s a process and needs to be worked on constantly.  Ice breakers at the start of term isn’t enough!

How important are trust and vulnerability?

How important are trust and vulnerability and sharing in class?

How vulnerable are you willing to be with your students?

How does this help the learning process?

In this second installment of my Cornerstones of Learning series, I explore the reasons why we should all be thinking about these concepts before we even THINK about teaching our students anything.

Trust makes learning happen!
