English (ESL) with Emily L.

I LOVE having FUN while we learn. So, that means singing, laughing, smiling, being silly to break the ice...I incorporate fun activities to learning to help ease the tension of the classroom for the Learner. It is amazing what a little laughter can do to defuse the bewildered, confused 'I don't know what I'm doing?' look on a Learner's face. I am in love with pronunciation! I strive very hard to instill in Learners the proper (over) enunciated sound of a phonics blend, letter sound or word pronunciation for them to hear what it should sound like and with practice, they can hear themselves and thus find their 'English voice'. I do believe each Learner is seeking to find their 'English voice' and with time, hearing the language, practicing what they hear, and applying by speaking they will acquire their own 'English voice' and not stop speaking in their new tongue! I enjoy teaching very much! It is an innate ability I have with no stress or restraint. I am very creative and thrive in my creativity when I teach; using a diverse amount of objects to assist in the diverse abilities of the Learners. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!
