Well, although I have been an experienced teacher, I do not know everything! Teaching is a matter of refreshing your techniques, learning new things and being open-minded to changes... My first thought was: If I have a blog on teaching, why not taking the advantage of reflecting upon what I have been doing in the classroom? Some activities do work well, some others, simply don't. Why does that happen? What can I do to improve my teaching skills, for example, getting rid of bad teaching habits and acquiring new good ones? A thought crossed my mind yesterday while I was riding my bike... KEEP A DIARY! That's it. So every week I'll write something on my teaching. Please, feel free to write what your opinion on the post is, I mean, whatever you feel like saying which is concerned to ESL (English as a Second Language) or TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
Teaching directions
Well, students seem to have lots of difficulties dealing with directions. Thanks to internet this may help students out by relieving them from the stress of learning "how to get to a place" in plain and good English.
Here is a video by Leonidas Zazelis. Very easy to follow!
Well, here is a more challenging one by EF Language Schools
